The earlier ghost-open fix gated re-commits on a settle counter, but on Fabric that doesn't hold: Reanimated re-applies its own (stale) animated props over React's committed props on every commit, so a settled-closed sidebar still reappears after a heavy commit (e.g. a long thread mounting or a message send) — reanimated#9635. No committed transform/opacity value can win while a useAnimatedStyle is attached. Split ownership instead: React owns whether the overlay exists, the worklet owns its motion. display lives on the plain wrapper View that Reanimated never touches, so a hidden overlay stays hidden regardless of what the animated props revert to. An open gesture flips an overlayPeek flag to reveal the panel before the store updates; a short close grace keeps it displayed until the close animation finishes. Residual: a heavy commit landing mid-close-animation can still flash the panel until the animation settles — transient, not the previous permanent wedge.
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.
