 - Metro adds `css` as source extension and removes it from asset extensions.
 - Metro transformer handles the configured CSS entry file specially.
 - Metro transformer worker selection is lazy, cached per Expo/non-Expo config type, and follows Expo transformer paths or Expo-specific config markers.
-- Native platform CSS transforms into a JS module that calls `Uniwind.__reinit(...)`.
+- Native platform CSS transforms into a JS module that calls `Uniwind.__reinit(...)` with a fingerprint of the generated styles and themes. During development, the native runtime skips reinitialization when that fingerprint is unchanged.
 - Web platform CSS transforms into CSS plus web runtime setup.
 - Resolver swaps React Native component imports to Uniwind-aware implementations where needed.
