Upgrade React Navigation

Goal

Upgrade React Navigation to the next major version and handle all required breaking changes while preserving existing navigation behavior.

When to use

You are upgrading React Navigation major version (6.x -> 7.x or 7.x -> 8.x).

Adaptation policy

Treat the patterns in this skill as canonical starting points, not an exhaustive list. The absence of an exact matching example is not a blocker.

• Map local code to the closest pattern here and adapt it; infer an equivalent when the structure differs.
• Prefer the simplest upgrade that preserves behavior.
• Keep changes minimal and upgrade only the affected code.

When to ask for clarification
