Research direction
Start by running the mandatory reproducer with npm install and npm run ios, then trace the iOS Fabric TextInput and ScrollView behavior involved in the first newline. Done means an auto-growing multiline TextInput causes the surrounding ScrollView to scroll to the appropriate position immediately on the new line, without requiring another character or newline.
