Tracks scroll overflow state for a horizontally scrollable container. Returns a ref callback and state booleans that update as the user scrolls or the container resizes. Uses scroll event listeners and ResizeObserver for reactive updates. Tolerance of 1px is applied to avoid sub-pixel false positives.

| Do | Use to show/hide scroll navigation buttons or fade edges on carousels and horizontal lists. |
