PageHeader can be used to wrap masthead or hold a third-party custom header.

Fixes #12624

Assisted-by: Cursor

Tried to get it consistent with patternfly/patternfly#8567, but let me know if I'm missing something here.

Walkthrough

Adds a public PageHeader component with configurable elements, classes, children, and forwarded props. Integrates it with the Page masthead prop, exports it from the Page barrel, and adds tests, documentation, and an example.

Changes

PageHeader masthead support

Layer / File(s) Summary
PageHeader component and public export
packages/react-core/src/components/Page/PageHeader.tsx, packages/react-core/src/components/Page/index.ts, packages/react-core/src/components/Page/__tests__/PageHeader.test.tsx
Adds PageHeader and PageHeaderProps. The component renders configurable elements, applies page-header styles, forwards props, and is exported publicly. Tests cover these behaviors.
Page masthead integration and validation
packages/react-core/src/components/Page/Page.tsx, packages/react-core/src/components/Page/__tests__/Page.test.tsx
Updates the masthead documentation to describe PageHeader as a wrapper for custom header content. Tests verify direct PageHeader rendering and remove the nested Masthead case.
PageHeader documentation and example
packages/react-core/src/components/Page/examples/Page.md, packages/react-core/src/components/Page/examples/PageHeaderContent.tsx
Documents PageHeader and adds an example with Masthead, branding, Toolbar, and PageSection content.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9d4b5

PageHeader currently accepts refs through its public HTML props but does not forward them to the rendered element, which may surprise consumers that rely on ref access. This is a bounded, non-blocking API correctness risk requiring explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

Forward the ref to the rendered element.

PageHeaderProps accepts ref, but React 18 does not pass refs to this React.FunctionComponent. PageHeader therefore renders without attaching the ref, so ref.current remains unset. Wrap the component with React.forwardRef and pass the ref to Component. Add a test for the rendered element.
