Research direction
Start with the component using resourceName="app_animations" and artboardName="activity-indicator" on Android 14, reproducing on a Pixel 6a or a reported MIUI device. Compare behavior across rive-react-native 7.0.2 and 7.0.4 and inspect the native crash around pthread_mutex_lock. Done means the spinner no longer crashes during playback.
