+/**
+ * Keeps the user pinned to index 0 when new items prepend to a feed, but
+ * only if they were already at the very top right before the update.
+ *
+ * Why this is non-trivial: every feed uses stable `key = item.idHex` in
+ * its lazy list, which makes Compose preserve the visual anchor across
+ * data changes. When N items prepend, the user's previously-visible
+ * top item is still on screen but its index is now N — so
+ * `firstVisibleItemIndex` shifts from 0 to N without any user gesture.
+ * A naive `if (firstVisibleItemIndex <= 1) scrollToItem(0)` check inside
+ * `LaunchedEffect(items.firstOrNull())` therefore fails as soon as more
+ * than one item arrives in the same batch.
+ *
+ * The trick: track "was at top" continuously via [snapshotFlow], but
+ * only flip it from true → false when [LazyListState.isScrollInProgress]
+ * is true (i.e. the user is actively scrolling). Compose's keyed-item
+ * shift after a data update does not set that flag — only real touch
+ * gestures and `animate*` calls do — so data-driven index shifts can
+ * never poison the cached value. When [firstItemKey] changes (head of
+ * the list moved), if the cached value is still true, snap back to 0
+ * with an instant (non-animated) scroll so the prepend appears as
+ * in-place growth rather than a visible jump-then-scroll.
+ *
+ * Most callers should not invoke this directly: [SaveableFeedContentState],
+ * [SaveableGridFeedContentState], and the analogous wrappers in
+ * `ui/screen/FeedView.kt` already apply auto-stick to every feed they
+ * own. Invoke the explicit overload only when the listState is
+ * constructed outside one of those wrappers, or when the key that
+ * should trigger the snap is not the default `items.list[0].idHex`
+ * (e.g. notifications, chats, or feeds keyed on something other than a
+ * Note's hex id).
