Research direction

Start with the attached Fire particles.zip minimal reproduction project and reproduce the crash by changing CanvasItemMaterial's Blend Mode on GPUParticles2D from Mix to Add repeatedly. Trace the editor path involved in that property change and verify that repeated Blend Mode changes no longer crash the editor on the reported setup.
