Research direction

Start with the Sentry issue and the stack trace entry in node_modules/react-native-modal/dist/modal.js:459, then inspect how React Native handles BackHandler during component deletion. Reproduce the reported failure and determine the relevant compatibility behavior; done means the modal cleanup no longer raises the reported TypeError.
