Migrate BottomSheet to WindowMetrics API Replace deprecated Display.getMetrics() usage with WindowMetricsCalculator.computeCurrentWindowMetrics() to ensure correct behavior in multi-window mode, split-screen, rotation, and on foldables. This removes reliance on defaultDisplay (deprecated in API 30) and makes BottomSheet sizing fully responsive to current window bounds. The previous nullable Activity safety check was also removed. The height calculation now uses requireActivity(), which is safe because it is executed inside setOnShowListener after the fragment is attached and the dialog is being shown. At that lifecycle point, the Fragment is guaranteed to have a non-null host Activity.
