⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Add cleanup for the animation loop to prevent memory leaks.

The animation loop is started but never stopped when the component unmounts. This could cause warnings or memory leaks if the skeleton is removed while the animation is running (e.g., when data finishes loading).

🛠️ Proposed fix
   useEffect(() => {
-    Animated.loop(
+    const animation = Animated.loop(
       Animated.sequence([
         Animated.timing(opacity, {
           toValue: 0.7,
           duration: 800,
           useNativeDriver: true,
         }),
         Animated.timing(opacity, {
           toValue: 0.3,
           duration: 800,
           useNativeDriver: true,
