Description

Maybe once it becomes sticky, it could shrink and show a shorter message?

I think the close button is good-enough as a solution for this TBH, because it's a more respectful way to allow users to hide banners as-and-when they wish to do so.

The specific UX might differ from the initial discussion referenced above, based on whether we want to completely hide the banner or just move it to a non-sticky state (avoiding a re-flow of the content on "close").

Research direction

Start by reading the linked discussion in python/peps#2992, especially the points about close buttons, shrinking, and avoiding content reflow. Clarify whether the banner should be completely hidden or made non-sticky, then define the expected user interaction and acceptance behavior before locating the implementation.
