+/**
+ * Keep a header element's horizontal scroll position in lockstep with a
+ * body element's. The body has the visible scrollbar (`overflow-x: auto`);
+ * the header is `overflow-x: hidden` and scrolled programmatically.
+ *
+ * Also forwards vertical wheel events on the header into horizontal
+ * scroll on the body, so users can pan the header with their wheel —
+ * the body's scroll then mirrors back here through the same path.
+ *
+ * Generic over the concrete element type so callers can pass
+ * `useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)` without an as-cast.
