iOS 26: large title invisible until you scroll

React NativeConfirmed fix

expo-router native-stack, iOS 26

There is no error message for this one, only the symptom in the title.

Cause

Setting headerStyle.backgroundColor with a large title hides the title on iOS 26 (noted in the native-stack source itself).

Fix

Do not set headerStyle.backgroundColor on iOS. Set the navigation theme's colors.card and colors.background to the page background instead, make the ScrollView the first child with contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic", and use headerTransparent: true alone for transparent headers.
