What

Moves a @ts-expect-error comment in PreferencesModalTabs from above the as={ Item } prop to above the <Navigator.Button> opening tag.

Why

@ts-expect-error only suppresses the diagnostic reported on the line immediately following it. Previously that was the as={ Item } line, which is where TypeScript used to report the overload mismatch for this JSX element.

Two recent trunk changes shifted where TS attributes that error:

As a result, TS started reporting the error on the <Navigator.Button> opening tag instead of the as prop line. The directive, still sitting above as, no longer suppressed anything (flagged as "unused"), while the real error surfaced one line up, unsuppressed — breaking the tsc --build step of npm run dev / npm run build.

How

Moved the @ts-expect-error comment from directly above as={ Item } to directly above the <Navigator.Button> opening tag, matching where TypeScript now attributes the diagnostic. The underlying type mismatch is unchanged and intentional (Item's props aren't currently compatible with Navigator.Button's as prop typing) — this only relocates the suppression to where it's actually needed.

The directive was suppressing the as prop line, but TypeScript now
reports the overload mismatch on the Navigator.Button opening tag,
leaving the error unsuppressed and breaking the TypeScript build.
