Research direction
Run the linked section-list-header reproducer on iOS with the New Architecture enabled, then inspect Animated.SectionList and renderSectionHeader behavior when ListHeaderComponent content is hidden or shown. Done means the red section header stays in the same position after both changes without requiring a manual scroll.
