useAnimatedStyle: Link Shared Values to Component Styles

The `useAnimatedStyle` hook connects a shared value to a component's style, running animations on the UI thread. It's a reactive StyleSheet for dynamic properties like opacity or transform. The footgun: never mutate shared values inside the hook.
The `useAnimatedStyle` hook connects a shared value to a component's style, running animations efficiently on the UI thread to avoid React re-renders. It's like a reactive `StyleSheet` that updates when its dependencies change. Use it for dynamic styles like opacity or transform based on gestures or scroll position, combining its output with static styles for performance. The footgun: animated styles always override static styles, and mutating shared values inside the hook can cause infinite loops.
