+
+## React Native 0.83 Key Features (December 2025)
+
+### Zero Breaking Changes
+React Native 0.83 is the **first release with no user-facing breaking changes**. Upgrade directly from 0.82 without code modifications.
+
+### React 19.2 Integration
+
+**`<Activity>` Component** - Breaks apps into "activities" with preserved state:
+```typescript
+import { Activity } from 'react';
+
+function App() {
+  const [currentTab, setCurrentTab] = useState('home');
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <Activity mode={currentTab === 'home' ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
+        <HomeScreen />
+      </Activity>
+      <Activity mode={currentTab === 'search' ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
+        <SearchScreen /> {/* Preserves search state when hidden! */}
+      </Activity>
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**`useEffectEvent` Hook** - Stable event handlers without linter workarounds:
+```typescript
+import { useEffectEvent } from 'react';
+
+function ChatRoom({ roomId, theme }) {
+  // Stable reference, no need to add to dependency array
+  const onConnected = useEffectEvent((connectedRoomId) => {
+    showNotification(`Connected to ${connectedRoomId}`, theme);
+  });
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const connection = createConnection(roomId);
+    connection.on('connected', () => onConnected(roomId));
+    connection.connect();
+    return () => connection.disconnect();
+  }, [roomId]); // No need to add theme or onConnected!
+}
+```
+
+### Enhanced DevTools
+
+**Network Inspection Panel:**
+- View all network requests with timings, headers, response previews
+- **Initiator tab** shows where in code each request originated
+- Supports `fetch()`, `XMLHttpRequest`, `<Image>`
+
+**Performance Tracing Panel:**
+- Record JavaScript execution, React Performance tracks, Network events
+- Custom User Timings support
+- Single integrated timeline
+
+**Desktop App:**
+- Zero-install setup, no browser required
+- Faster launch, better window management
+- Improved reliability
+
+### Web APIs Now Stable
+
+**Intersection Observer** (Canary):
+```typescript
+import { IntersectionObserver } from 'react-native';
+
+const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
+  entries.forEach((entry) => {
+    if (entry.isIntersecting) {
+      loadMoreContent();
+    }
+  });
+});
+
+observer.observe(targetRef.current);
+```
+
+**Web Performance APIs** (Stable in production):
+```typescript
+// High Resolution Time
+const start = performance.now();
+await heavyOperation();
+console.log(`Took ${performance.now() - start}ms`);
+
+// User Timing
+performance.mark('start-fetch');
+await fetchData();
+performance.mark('end-fetch');
+performance.measure('fetch-duration', 'start-fetch', 'end-fetch');
+
+// Performance Observer
+const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
+  list.getEntries().forEach((entry) => {
+    console.log(`${entry.name}: ${entry.duration}ms`);
+  });
+});
+observer.observe({ entryTypes: ['measure', 'longtask'] });
+```
+
+### Hermes V1 (Experimental)
+Next-gen Hermes with significant JavaScript performance improvements:
+
+```properties
+# android/gradle.properties
+hermesV1Enabled=true
+```
+
+```bash
+# iOS
+RCT_HERMES_V1_ENABLED=1 bundle exec pod install
+```
+
+### Platform Requirements (0.83)
+
+| Platform | Minimum Version |
+|----------|----------------|
+| iOS | **15.1** |
+| Android SDK | **24 (Android 7)** |
+| Node.js | **20.x+** (Node 18 EOL) |
+| Xcode | **16.1+** (26 recommended) |
+| React | **19.2** |
+
+## Expo SDK 54 Features (August 2025)
+
+### React Native 0.81 + Precompiled iOS
+- Faster clean builds with precompiled React Native for iOS
+- Last SDK to support Legacy Architecture
+
+### Expo Router v6 Native Tabs
+```typescript
+// app/(tabs)/_layout.tsx
+import { Tabs } from 'expo-router';
+
+export default function TabLayout() {
+  return (
+    <Tabs
+      screenOptions={{
+        // Native tabs with iOS Liquid Glass!
+        tabBarStyle: { ... },
+        // Automatic scroll-to-top on tab press
+        // Beautiful native animations
+      }}
+    >
+      <Tabs.Screen name="index" />
+      <Tabs.Screen name="search" />
+    </Tabs>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### iOS Liquid Glass (iOS 26+)
+```typescript
+import { View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
+
+const styles = StyleSheet.create({
+  glassContainer: {
+    // Liquid Glass effect on iOS 26+
+    backgroundColor: 'systemGlass', // New system color
+    backdropFilter: 'blur(20)',
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Android Edge-to-Edge (Default)
+```bash
+npx expo install react-native-edge-to-edge
+```
+- Content flows behind system bars by default
+- Improved immersive experience
+
+### Key SDK 54 Libraries
+
+**expo-video** (replaces expo-av):
+```typescript
+import { useVideoPlayer, VideoView } from 'expo-video';
+
+function VideoPlayer({ source }) {
+  const player = useVideoPlayer(source, (player) => {
+    player.loop = true;
+    player.play();
+  });
+
+  return <VideoView player={player} style={styles.video} />;
+}
+```
+
+**expo-audio** (replaces expo-av):
+```typescript
+import { useAudioPlayer } from 'expo-audio';
+
+function AudioPlayer({ source }) {
+  const player = useAudioPlayer(source);
+
+  return (
+    <Button onPress={() => player.playing ? player.pause() : player.play()}>
+      {player.playing ? 'Pause' : 'Play'}
+    </Button>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Link with View Controller Previews (iOS)
+```typescript
+import { Link } from 'expo-router';
+
+<Link
+  href="/profile/123"
+  preview={{
+    // iOS view controller preview on long press
+    componentName: 'ProfilePreview',
+  }}
+>
+  View Profile
+</Link>
+```
+
+## Important: expo-av Removed in SDK 55
+Migrate now:
+- Audio: `expo-av` → `expo-audio`
+- Video: `expo-av` → `expo-video`

 ## Decision Framework
 
 ### When to Use Different Approaches
 
-**Monorepo vs Single Repo**
-- **Monorepo**: Multiple apps (mobile + web), shared packages
-- **Single Repo**: Single mobile app, simpler CI/CD
+**Expo (SDK 54+) vs Bare React Native**
+- **Expo**: 95% of apps - faster development, EAS Build, OTA updates
+- **Bare RN**: Need unsupported native modules, very custom native code
+
+**State Management Selection**
+- **Zustand**: Default choice, simple apps, local state
+- **TanStack Query v5**: Server-centric apps, caching, sync
+- **Jotai**: Complex atom dependencies, derived state
+- **Legend State**: Real-time sync, high performance needs
 
-**Native Modules vs Expo Modules**
-- **Expo Modules**: Faster development, managed workflow
-- **Native Modules**: Full control, custom native features
+**Navigation Selection**
+- **Expo Router v6**: New projects, file-based routing, native tabs, Liquid Glass
+- **React Navigation v7**: Fine-grained control, complex navigation patterns
 
-**Navigation Library Selection**
-- **React Navigation**: Most popular, flexible, great TypeScript support
-- **React Native Navigation**: Better performance, native feel
+**List Components**
+- **FlashList**: Long lists (>50 items), dynamic content
+- **FlatList**: Small lists, simple cases
+- **ScrollView**: Very short content only (<10 items)
+
+**Media Libraries (SDK 54+)**
+- **expo-video**: Video playback (replaces expo-av)
+- **expo-audio**: Audio playback (replaces expo-av)
+- **expo-image v2**: Image loading with useImage hook
 
 **Offline-First Architecture**
 - **When**: Banking, healthcare, field operations
-- **How**: Redux Persist + React Query with custom cache, Watermelon DB
+- **How**: TanStack Query + AsyncStorage persister, expo-sqlite/kv-store
 
 ## Architecture Review Checklist
 
 When reviewing or designing architecture, I verify:
 
-- [ ] **Separation of Concerns**: Clear boundaries between layers
-- [ ] **Type Safety**: TypeScript types for all interfaces
-- [ ] **Testability**: Architecture supports unit, integration, E2E tests
-- [ ] **Performance**: Lazy loading, code splitting, optimized re-renders
-- [ ] **Scalability**: Can handle growth in features and team size
-- [ ] **Maintainability**: Clear conventions, documented patterns
-- [ ] **Security**: Secure storage, API communication, authentication
-- [ ] **Error Handling**: Centralized error handling, user-friendly messages
-- [ ] **Accessibility**: Screen reader support, touch target sizes
-- [ ] **Monitoring**: Crash reporting, analytics, performance tracking
+- [ ] **New Architecture**: Enabled (RN 0.76+ default), leveraging sync layout
+- [ ] **Hermes**: Enabled (default), consider Hermes V1 experimental
+- [ ] **React 19.2**: Using Activity, useEffectEvent where appropriate
+- [ ] **State Management**: Appropriate solution for complexity level
+- [ ] **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript with strict mode
+- [ ] **Navigation**: Type-safe, deep linking configured, native tabs (SDK 54+)
+- [ ] **Performance**: FlashList, expo-image v2, Intersection Observer
+- [ ] **Offline Support**: Persistence strategy defined
+- [ ] **Error Handling**: Error boundaries, crash reporting (Sentry)
+- [ ] **Security**: expo-secure-store for tokens, certificate pinning
+- [ ] **Accessibility**: VoiceOver/TalkBack support, touch targets ≥44pt
+- [ ] **Testing**: Jest + React Native Testing Library, Maestro E2E
+- [ ] **CI/CD**: EAS Build, automated testing, OTA with EAS Update
+- [ ] **Platform Features**: iOS Liquid Glass, Android edge-to-edge
