## Validation prompt

Use this to decide whether a fired diagnostic is real or a false positive.

Verify the import source is expo-av (or any subpath like expo-av/Audio) or expo-permissions (or any subpath). Both are deprecated and removed in newer Expo SDKs. Not really a false positive on a maintained Expo project — pinning to an older SDK only buys time.

## Fix prompt

Use this once validation confirms the diagnostic is real.

Replace expo-av with expo-audio for audio playback/recording and expo-video for video; both expose cleaner hook-based APIs. Replace expo-permissions by calling each module's own request method (Camera.requestCameraPermissionsAsync(), Notifications.requestPermissionsAsync(), etc.).
