[0.82.0] Different behavior of views with position: "absolute" between old and new architecture

Build và chạy rn-tester, sau đó mở RNTesterPlayground.js với reproducer được liên kết trong PR 54169. So sánh việc xếp chồng của định vị tuyệt đối và zIndex trên các kiến trúc cũ và mới trên Android và iOS; được xem là hoàn tất khi hành vi nhất quán với hệ thống phân cấp anh em dự kiến trong cả hai kiến trúc.

Description

In the old React Native architecture, a view with position: "absolute" will overlap a child of its sibling even if that child had a higher zIndex. This meant that box1 (blue) appears below box2 (red):

In the new architecture, the stacking behavior is different — box2, being absolutely positioned outside the sibling hierarchy, will overlap box1:

Steps to reproduce

1. Build and run rn-tester.
2. Open RNTesterPlayground.js with reproducer.
