Horizontal ScrollView touchables stop responding when nested inside a sticky header (RN 0.79.2)

Description

When you nest a horizontal ScrollView with touchable tabs inside a vertical ScrollView (or SectionList) that uses stickyHeaderIndices, the horizontal scroll still works, but the individual tab TouchableOpacity buttons no longer fire their onPress once the header becomes pinned. As soon as you scroll back up and the header unsticks, the buttons work again.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a fresh RN 0.79.2 project (or use your existing app).
2. Copy this component into App.js (or similar):

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import { View, Text, ScrollView, TouchableOpacity, StyleSheet, SafeAreaView } from 'react-native'

const ItemBox = ({ title }) => (
  <View style={styles.itemBox}>
    <Text>{title}</Text>
  </View>
)

export default function NestedScrollTest() {
  const tabs = [
    { key: 'one', title: 'Tab One' },
    { key: 'two', title: 'Tab Two' },
    { key: 'three', title: 'Tab Three' },
    { key: 'four', title: 'Tab Four' },
    { key: 'five', title: 'Tab Five' },
  ]

  // Generate lots of items so it scrolls
  const allItems = Array.from({ length: 50 }, (_, i) => `Item #${i + 1}`)

  const [activeTab, setActiveTab] = useState(tabs[0].key)

  const filteredItems = allItems.filter(
    (_, idx) => idx % tabs.length === tabs.findIndex(t => t.key === activeTab)
  )

  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <TouchableOpacity
        style={styles.submitButton}
        onPress={() => alert(`Submitting on "${activeTab}"`)}
      >
        <Text style={styles.submitText}>Top Submit Button</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      {/* Vertical scroll area with sticky header */}
      <ScrollView
        style={styles.scrollContainer}
        contentContainerStyle={{ paddingBottom: 20 }}
        nestedScrollEnabled
        removeClippedSubviews={false}
        stickyHeaderIndices={[0]}
      >
        {/* Sticky horizontal tab bar */}
        <View style={styles.stickyContainer} pointerEvents="box-none">
          <ScrollView
            horizontal
            showsHorizontalScrollIndicator={false}
            nestedScrollEnabled
            pointerEvents="auto"
            contentContainerStyle={styles.tabBar}
            onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}
          >
            {tabs.map(tab => (
              <TouchableOpacity
                key={tab.key}
                onPress={() => setActiveTab(tab.key)}
                activeOpacity={0.7}
                style={[
                  styles.tabButton,
                  activeTab === tab.key && styles.activeTab,
                ]}
              >
                <Text style={
                  activeTab === tab.key ? styles.activeTabText : styles.tabText
                }>
                  {tab.title}
                </Text>
              </TouchableOpacity>
            ))}
          </ScrollView>
        </View>

        {filteredItems.map(title => (
          <ItemBox key={title} title={title} />
        ))}
      </ScrollView>

      <TouchableOpacity
        style={styles.submitButton}
        onPress={() => alert(`Submitting on "${activeTab}"`)}
      >
        <Text style={styles.submitText}>Bottom Submit Button</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </SafeAreaView>
  )
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
  },
  scrollContainer: {
    flex: 1,
  },
  stickyContainer: {
    backgroundColor: 'white',
    zIndex: 10,
    elevation: 4,
  },
  tabBar: {
    paddingVertical: 10,
    paddingHorizontal: 8,
  },
  tabButton: {
    paddingHorizontal: 16,
    paddingVertical: 8,
    marginRight: 8,
    borderRadius: 4,
    backgroundColor: '#EEE',
  },
  activeTab: {
    backgroundColor: '#4A90E2',
  },
  tabText: {
    fontSize: 14,
    color: '#333',
  },
  activeTabText: {
    fontSize: 14,
    color: '#FFF',
  },
  itemBox: {
    height: 80,
    marginHorizontal: 16,
    marginVertical: 8,
    backgroundColor: '#F9F9F9',
    borderRadius: 6,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    elevation: 2,
  },
  submitButton: {
    padding: 16,
    backgroundColor: '#28A745',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  submitText: {
    color: '#FFF',
    fontSize: 16,
  },
})

3. Run on Android.

4. Scroll until the tab bar sticks to the top.

5. Tap any tab button—nothing fires.

6. Scroll up one pixel; tap again—the press now registers.

MANDATORY Reproducer

从 Android 上必需的复现示例及其 App.js 组件开始，比较 header 固定和未固定时的标签页点击行为。跟踪 React Native Android 对嵌套水平 ScrollView 和 sticky header 的触摸处理，然后验证标签页的 TouchableOpacity 控件在固定状态下能够响应，同时不会破坏滚动。
