First PR of a series adding PlatformColor support to CSS animations. It puts the skeleton in place - the value type and the shared-code changes the layer needs to carry one - without resolving anything yet. Resolution and blending follow in #10305.

PlatformColor and DynamicColorIOS payloads are objects, but CSSColor accepts only numbers and bools, so a color property carrying one killed the app with No compatible type found for construction.

They now parse into CSSPlatformColor, which keeps the payload and hands it back from toDynamic() for React Native to resolve against the surface's theme, exactly as for a static style. Color properties accept either alternative, value<CSSColor, CSSPlatformColor>.

Turning a payload into channels needs the animated view, which is not implemented here, so a platform color reports that it cannot interpolate and the variant switches over instead. Nothing throws.

Shared code moves to make room for it. CSSPlatformColor is the first value type that resolves without being relative to a view property, a distinction the two value() overloads did not draw before, so ResolvableValueInterpolator, its config and its factory become Relative* to match what they actually carry, and the overload guards now separate "resolves against a relative property" from "resolves at all".

Testing

iOS and Android build, jest and static checks pass. On the simulator: plain color ramps unchanged, static PlatformColor renders, and both platform-to-platform and platform-to-plain switch over with the app alive.

📝 Walkthrough

The PR adds PlatformColor and DynamicColorIOS payload handling for CSS values and SVG brushes. It registers platform colors for CSS and SVG properties and updates the SVG native processor to route object values through processColor. It also renames resolvable-value interpolation APIs to relative-value names and adds interpolation constraints.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7e54d

This change stops a crash when a color property carries PlatformColor or DynamicColorIOS values. Transitions between a platform color and a plain color switch discretely rather than blending or raising an error. That appears intentional for this intermediate PR, and blending follows in the next one. The merge risk is low.

Two more points that I cannot attach to diff lines:

  1. boxShadow color: CSSBoxShadow builds its color with CSSColor(rt, obj.getProperty(rt, "color")) (CSSBoxShadow.cpp:50). This constructor makes Transparent from any object. Thus boxShadow: [{ ..., color: PlatformColor('label') }] does not crash, but the shadow is invisible. The same static style shows correctly.
  2. Tests: this PR fixes a crash, but it adds no ReJest test in runtime-tests/reanimated/tests/css/. #10305 adds only an example screen, so the crash can come back without a CI failure. Should we add a test for keyframes and a transition with PlatformColor and DynamicColorIOS?
