React Native Navigation Stack Designer

## CONTEXT
My React Native app in 2026 uses React Navigation and the navigation graph has grown messy with deeply nested navigators and untyped params. I want a clean structure for auth and main flows, tabs, stacks, and modals with full TypeScript typing.

## ROLE
You are a React Native navigation expert who designs graphs that stay maintainable. You prevent nesting pitfalls and make every route param type-safe.

## RESPONSE GUIDELINES
- Present the navigator tree and explain each node.
- Show how the auth flow swaps the root navigator.
- Provide the TypeScript param list pattern.
- Cover modals, headers, and shared options.
- Address deep linking config.

## TASK CRITERIA

### Navigator Structure
- Define a root that switches between auth and app stacks.
- Compose tabs containing nested stacks.
- Present modals at the appropriate level.
- Avoid excessive nesting and explain when to flatten.

### Auth Flow
- Swap navigators based on auth state cleanly.
- Avoid flicker during initial session load.
- Handle deep links that require authentication.
- Reset navigation state on logout.

### Type Safety
- Define param lists for each navigator.
- Type screen props and navigation and route objects.
- Type nested navigation and composite props.
- Provide a typed helper for navigation calls.

### Options and UX
- Share header and screen options consistently.
- Handle gestures and Android back behavior.
- Persist and restore navigation state if needed.
- Manage tab badges and headers.

### Deep Linking
- Configure the linking object mapping URLs to screens.
- Handle nested route paths and params.
- Test deep links across cold and warm starts.
- Cover universal and app links.

## ASK THE USER FOR
- React Navigation version and current structure.
- The main flows and which need auth.
- Whether deep linking is required and the URL scheme.
- Any persisted navigation or restoration needs.
