[Enhancement] No pull-to-refresh on course list and notification screens

[RUKAYAT-CODER]

Overview

The course list and notification screens use FlatList but do not implement pull-to-refresh. Users have no way to manually refresh stale data, leading to confusion when their enrolled courses or new notifications do not appear.

Specifications

Features:

• Add onRefresh and refreshing props to the FlatList on the course list screen
• Add the same to the notification screen
• Trigger the API refetch on pull-to-refresh and show the loading indicator

Tasks:

• Add the RefreshControl component to both FlatLists
• Connect it to the existing query refetch functions
• Write a test that confirms the refetch is triggered on pull-to-refresh

Impacted Files:

• src/screens/course/CourseListScreen.tsx
• src/screens/notifications/NotificationsScreen.tsx

Acceptance Criteria

• Pull-to-refresh triggers a fresh API call on both screens
• Loading indicator shown while refreshing
• List updates with new data after refresh

Here my approach, I'll add RefreshControl to both FlatList components, connect it to the existing refetch functions, manage the refreshing state for the loading indicator, and add tests to verify that pull-to-refresh triggers a fresh API request.
