 * A custom hook that provides scroll management utilities for sidebar sections.

 * bottom of their nearest scrollable ancestor container (not the viewport).
 *
 * This hook finds the closest scrollable ancestor element (with overflow-y: auto or scroll)
 * and scrolls within that container, not the viewport. This is important when using
 * the hook in nested scrollers or modals.
 *
 * @example
 * const { scrollIntoView } = useSectionScroll()
 * scrollIntoView(sectionRef.current)
