🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make this test distinguish flattened dispatch from nested forwarding.

This assertion also passes with the old nested implementation. The outer handler can call inner.detectorCallbacks.jsEventHandler, which then invokes pan2 and pan3 in the same order. Replace the inner handler with a spy and assert that it is not called, or assert that outer.gestures contains the four leaf gestures.

Suggested regression guard 
     const order: number[] = [];
+    const innerHandler = jest.fn();
+    inner.detectorCallbacks.jsEventHandler = innerHandler;
     for (const pan of [pan1, pan2, pan3, pan4]) {
       pan.detectorCallbacks.jsEventHandler = () => {
         order.push(pan.handlerTag);
       };
     }

     outer.detectorCallbacks.jsEventHandler?.(
       {} as GestureHandlerEventWithHandlerData<unknown, unknown>
     );

     expect(order).toStrictEqual([
       pan1.handlerTag,
       pan2.handlerTag,
       pan3.handlerTag,
       pan4.handlerTag,
     ]);
+    expect(innerHandler).not.toHaveBeenCalled();

around lines 642 - 665, Update the test “JS event handler dispatches to inlined
leaves in composition order” to verify flattened dispatch rather than only leaf
callback order: spy on the inner composition’s jsEventHandler and assert it is
not called, or assert that outer.gestures contains the four leaf gestures while
preserving the existing order assertion.
