🎉 What's New in v4

[!TIP] ✨ v4 is in beta! It rewrites the layout engine — the sheet now lays out synchronously per detent, so the container is sized to the sheet's visible height and tracks it in realtime while dragging.

• 📏 Synchronous layout - Content resizes in the same frame as the sheet, no more lag
• 📐 auto detent with scrollables - The sheet now sizes itself to a ScrollView/FlatList's content height
• 📜 scrollableRef - Pass a ScrollView/FlatList ref to wire nested scrolling, keyboard insets, and auto detent sizing
• 🦶 Relative footers - Footers take up space below the content by default
• 🧭 Expo Router - First-class support via the Sheet layout from /navigation/expo-router
• 🍞 TrueSheetOverlay - Render toasts, dialogs, and other overlays above your sheets — no more FullWindowOverlay/Modal workarounds
• 🔍 Element inspector - React Native's dev menu inspector now works inside a presented sheet
