Research direction

Start with the referenced commit 357b6998c4df940f2450448a20478b11deaf741b and the React Native Pressable implementation. Reproduce a Pressable whose disabled prop changes from true to undefined, then verify that the full pressable area, including space outside its children, is tappable after the reset.
