One potential solution to rehide is to add an event listener for the blur (or focus out etc) event to the anchor and then re-add the attribute in it?

That sounds like an approach to explore. Although I had the browser console.log the document.activeElement to me during find-in-page and cycling through results, and focus did not move to the result until one taps the enter key.

If you used popovers for the labels you could rely on the only one being open at once behaviour along with a toggle event listener to readd hidden until found to the label? Could call showPopover from the beforematch event?

Oh, that's an intriguing idea! Gonna explore that one. I also had thought of .hidden-until-found:has(::search-text:current) to at least solve the problem in the future, but I scrapped the idea the moment I realized that :has() does not allow pseudo elements as selectors (like :is() and :where())

Ah yeah it has to be a has enabled pseudo element or something which might be basically nothing right now? I think its to prevent cycles where your CSS changes the existence of a pseudo element. Perhaps that new one will be has enabled?

It could be a candidate for the/an enabled-list as it is a pseudo element that you can't create yourself and therefore should not mistakenly lead to cycles. To be sure that :has() would not work I checked with the ::target-text pseudo element which is similar. It indeed did not work.
