Test purpose

This draft isolates one experiment on top of the Next 16 upgrade branch to diagnose the header flash during Back and Forward navigation in iOS Safari.

Experiment 1

  • make the sticky header fully opaque
  • remove backdrop blur and translucent backgrounds
  • remove scroll-driven header shadow changes
  • preserve navigation and mobile menu behavior

If the flicker disappears, the issue is in Safari compositing the translucent or blurred sticky header. If it remains, the next experiment will isolate sticky positioning and history restoration.

This is a temporary diagnostic PR and is not intended to merge as-is.

Closing this fork-only comparison PR. The diagnostic branch needs to target reactjs/react.dev:main so it receives the normal preview deployment.
