+ * Regression test for: Native Yoga crash when renderer.destroy() is called
+ * with pending React state updates.
+ *
+ * Bug report: https://gist.github.com/rauchg/b2e1e964f88773a5d08f5f682dce2224
+ *
+ * Issue: When calling renderer.destroy() while async operations (intervals,
+ * promises, etc.) are still updating React state, Yoga crashes with:
+ * "Cannot add child: Nodes with measure functions cannot have children."
+ * followed by "RuntimeError: Out of bounds memory access"
+ *
+ * The crash happens because:
+ * 1. renderer.destroy() is called (WITHOUT unmounting React first)
+ * 2. This calls root.destroyRecursively() which calls yogaNode.free() on all nodes
+ * 3. The interval keeps firing setLines() because React wasn't unmounted
+ * 4. React tries to re-render, calling appendChild() which calls add()
+ * 5. add() calls yogaNode.insertChild() on a freed (parent) yoga node
+ * 6. Yoga WASM crashes with out-of-bounds memory access
+ *
+ * The "Cannot add child: Nodes with measure functions cannot have children"
+ * error message is misleading - it's actually a use-after-free crash where
+ * the freed yoga node's memory has been reused/corrupted.
+ *
+ * CRITICAL: The bug only occurs when React is NOT unmounted before/during destroy.
+ * In the bug report, there is NO root.unmount() call - just renderer.destroy().
