On Android (Fabric), a large React commit landing after a sidebar open/close settles — e.g. a long agent thread finishing its first mount — re-applies React's stale committed props onto the native view, reverting the UI-thread transform so the sidebar reappears with no transition while store and worklet state correctly say "closed" (software-mansion/react-native-reanimated#9635). Work around it by bumping a settled-generation counter after every settle so the animated styles refresh React's committed props from the settled shared values. The backdrop's pointerEvents moves from the worklet to React state for the same reason: Reanimated's prop re-application doesn't cover it, and a reverted "auto" wedges an invisible tap-eating backdrop. Animations still run entirely on the UI thread; the bump only fires after settle and writes no shared values.
Welcome to your Expo app 👋
This is an Expo project created with create-expo-app.
Get started
-
Install dependencies
npm install -
Start the app
npx expo start
In the output, you'll find options to open the app in a
- development build
- Android emulator
- iOS simulator
- Expo Go, a limited sandbox for trying out app development with Expo
You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.
Get a fresh project
When you're ready, run:
npm run reset-project
This command will move the starter code to the app-example directory and create a blank app directory where you can start developing.

Dictation debugging
Set EXPO_PUBLIC_ENABLE_AUDIO_DEBUG=1 before running npx expo start to render the in-app audio debug card. Pair it with the server-side STT_DEBUG_AUDIO_DIR flag so every dictation includes a copyable path to the saved raw audio file.
