New Architecture: `flex-1` className collapses `<Text>` to zero height (RN 0.86, uniwind 1.10.0)

[viniciuslk]

What happened?

On the React Native New Architecture (Fabric), applying the flex-1 className to a <Text> makes it measure zero layout height. The text's width still resolves — only its height collapses, so the text disappears and following siblings pile up.

The same style applied inline (style={{ flex: 1 }}) renders correctly — so the trigger is the flex-1 className path, not the flex value itself. A related case: a <View className="flex-1"> that fills a flexible parent (e.g. a flex-1 SafeAreaView → flex-1 View screen shell) also collapses its descendant <Text>; switching those wrappers to inline style={{ flex: 1 }} fixes it.

In the repro, a red border hugs each text (tall box = has height, thin line = collapsed). Rows 0 and 2 render at full height; row 1 — the only one with className="flex-1" on the <Text> — collapses to a line:

Note on the mechanism: uniwind emits flex-1 (flex: 1 1 0%) as { flexGrow: 1, flexShrink: 1, flexBasis: "0%" } — the flex: 1 shortcut in the transformer only fires when flexBasis === '"0%"', but the processed value is "0%". A percentage flexBasis: "0%" collapsing content to zero is a known failure mode elsewhere (react-native-web #574 / #1264, fixed there via auto/point basis); RN's native flex: 1 uses a point basis of 0. That said, for <Text> the collapse happens for any flex applied via className (a flex-grow-only override still collapses), which points to a Fabric text-measurement interaction rather than purely the basis value. Looks adjacent to #542, but here it is fully deterministic and hits <Text> directly.

Expected: className="flex-1" on a <Text> behaves like inline style={{ flex: 1 }} — text keeps its intrinsic height and grows along the main axis.
Actual: the <Text> measures zero height and disappears.

Workaround: Views → style={{ flex: 1 }} instead of className="flex-1"; Text → don't flex the <Text>, wrap it in <View style={{ flex: 1 }}> and leave the <Text> un-flexed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the repro repo (bare Expo 57 app, no monorepo, no custom components): git clone https://github.com/viniciuslk/uniwind-flex1-text-repro
2. npm install
3. npm start and open in Expo Go (SDK 57) on iOS, New Architecture enabled.
4. Observe the three rows in App.tsx: the control (inline style={{flex:1}}) and the wrapped-Text row render; the row with className="flex-1" on the <Text> collapses to zero height.

This was already addressed in #542
flex-1 is converted to flex: 1
console.log('flex-1', useResolveClassNames('flex-1'))

Setting inline flex: 1 caused the same issue, so looks like it's not related to uniwind
