[v3] SIGABRT crash: Yoga layout assertion failure when dynamically adding ReanimatedSwipeable rows alongside BottomSheet (Fabric)

[AlsaadAhamed4]

Description

Upgrading from react-native-gesture-handler@2.31.2 to 3.0.0 causes a SIGABRT crash on both iOS and Android (Fabric / New Architecture). The crash is a Yoga layout assertion failure triggered during layout of RNGestureHandlerDetectorShadowNode.

The crash occurs when dynamically inserting ReanimatedSwipeable rows into a FlatList while a @gorhom/bottom-sheet (which uses GestureDetector internally) is rendered as a sibling in the same parent view.

This does not occur on react-native-gesture-handler@2.31.2.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the repro: https://github.com/AlsaadAhamed4/rngh-v3-crash-repo
2. npm install && cd ios && pod install && cd ..
3. npx react-native run-ios (on a physical device)
4. Tap "Go to Recording Flow"
5. Reproduce via either method:

Method A: Tap "Start Recording" → "Stop" repeatedly. Crash occurs around the 12th record being added.

Method B: Tap "Rapid Add 5 Rows" → "Hide Sheet" → "Show Sheet" → "Rapid Add 5 Rows".

We're also seeing this crash occasionally. We use React Native TrueSheet and Animated.Flatlist from Reanimated to get layout transitions. A bit different setup compared to OP, but the exact same error.
