Research direction

Start with the linked reproduction gist and run it on the reported Android emulator or device using Flutter 3.22.3 and Mapbox Maps Flutter 2.2.0. Reproduce zoom and pan gestures in debug and release modes, then investigate the rendering path; done means the map remains visible without flickering or turning black.
