Description
Current Behavior
The tooltip text updates visually before it goes to the next step. This results in a flash of out of place text before the next step loads. Video attached. I'm also using React Native's new architecture. I'm using a custom tooltip, but it also happens with the default tooltip.
Think the issue is from how the current step is being updated, it is updating the current step prop immediately while the moveModalToStep is asynchronous:

Expected behavior/code
Expected the text would not change until the next step is rendered.

Research direction
Start in src/contexts/CopilotProvider.tsx around line 104 and reproduce the transition with both the custom and default tooltip. Trace when the current step prop changes relative to the asynchronous moveModalToStep call; done when the tooltip text remains unchanged until the next step is rendered.
