+ * Sticky headers collapse on scroll-down and re-appear on scroll-up
+ * (mobile-address-bar pattern). Long reading pages get back the vertical
+ * real estate without losing the title anchor on demand. Only applies
+ * when `sticky` — a non-sticky header has nothing to slide behind.
+ *
  * Pages that don't want a sub-header (e.g. the redesigned homepage which
  * paints its own editorial hero) can simply not render PageHeader.
