Research direction
Run the mandatory reproducer on a physical iOS device and confirm that haptics stop after RefreshControl remount. Then inspect RCTPullToRefreshViewComponentView and its view recycling behavior in the Fabric implementation. Done means refresh haptics work both before and after the component is remounted.
