@container style(--theme: dark) never matches: style container queries are dropped

Before submitting a new issue

I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
I tested using a supported version of react native.
I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

A style container query compares the query container's computed value of the property it names (CSS Conditional 5 §6.2). Chromium 156, Firefox 157 and WebKit 27.2 evaluate one over a custom property, so @container style(--theme: dark) matches inside a container that sets --theme: dark, and @container not style(--theme: dark) inside one that leaves it unset. parseContainerCondition (src/compiler/container-query.ts) returns nothing for a style condition (// We don't support these yet), so neither rule ever applies, and a container's ContainerContextValue (src/native/reactivity.ts) carries no variables to compare with.

container	condition	Chromium, Firefox, WebKit	`main` (`2421ea7`)	#426 (`40bfda2`)
`--theme: dark`	`style(--theme: dark)`	match	no match	no match
`--theme: dark`	`not style(--theme: dark)`	no match	no match	no match
unset	`style(--theme: dark)`	no match	no match	no match
unset	`not style(--theme: dark)`	match	no match	no match

#451's container-rejection tests pin the rejection. #426 compiles style() to an unknown term (MQ5 §3.1) and lists the query itself among its known limits. Answering one means handing the container evaluator the container's variable scope, the one VariableContext provides its descendants.

Steps to reproduce

Clone the reproducer branch, which is main at 2421ea7 with one file added, src/__tests__/native/container-style-query.test.tsx, and install:

git clone --branch repro/513-container-style-query https://github.com/YevheniiKotyrlo/react-native-css
cd react-native-css
yarn install

Run yarn jest src/__tests__/native/container-style-query.test.tsx.

src/__tests__/native/container-style-query.test.tsx:

// A style() container query compares the container's computed custom property (CSS Conditional 5 §7.3); --theme is dark on the parent and unset on the other
import { fireEvent, render, screen } from "@testing-library/react-native";
import { View } from "react-native-css/components/View";
import { registerCSS } from "react-native-css/jest";

test.each([
  ["dark-parent", "style(--theme: dark)", true],
  ["dark-parent", "not style(--theme: dark)", false],
  ["plain-parent", "style(--theme: dark)", false],
  ["plain-parent", "not style(--theme: dark)", true],
])("in a %s, @container %s matches: %s", (parent, condition, expected) => {
  registerCSS(
    `
    .dark-parent { container-type: size; --theme: dark; }
    .plain-parent { container-type: size; }
    .child { width: 10px; }
    @container ${condition} { .child { width: 37px; } }
  `,
    { inlineVariables: false },
  );
  render(
    <View testID="parent" className={parent}>
      <View testID="child" className="child" />
    </View>,
  );
  fireEvent(screen.getByTestId("parent"), "layout", {
    nativeEvent: { layout: { x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 200 } },
  });
  expect(screen.getByTestId("child").props.style.width === 37).toBe(expected);
});

Expected: @container style(--theme: dark) matches inside the container that sets --theme: dark, and @container not style(--theme: dark) inside the one that leaves it unset.

Actual: neither rule ever applies.
