Nested Navigators: Building Complex UI Flows

Think of nested navigators as UI building blocks, placing one navigator (like tabs) inside a screen of another (a stack). This creates flows like a main tab bar inside a stack for modals.
Nested navigators are like UI Lego bricks: you place one navigator (e.g., tabs) inside a screen of another (e.g., a stack) to build complex layouts. This is how you create a main stack for authentication, where one screen contains a tab navigator for the core app. The footgun: each navigator has its own history and params. An action like `goBack()` operates on the inner navigator first, only bubbling up to the parent if it can't be handled locally.
