Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by running the linked Expo Snack reproducer on Android with React Native 0.76.7, then trace the parent pointerEvents change, child input focus, and onBlur event handling; done means changing pointerEvents to auto no longer blurs the focused child input.
