The Android app crashes when a chat shows an inline SVG image with a marker whose orient="auto-start-reverse", and it crashes again every time that thread is reopened. react-native-svg's Android MarkerView.renderMarker calls Double.parseDouble on every orient value except "auto", so the keyword throws an uncaught NumberFormatException on the main thread. Upstream 15.16.1 has the same line.
Reproduced on main (71c2d3a302) with the reporter's SVG on a Pixel 9 emulator (API 36): a real agent turn saved the file into the workspace and replied with . Opening that thread in the Android dev client closed the app to the launcher. Reopening it after a relaunch did the same. The same SVG with orient="auto" rendered.
A pnpm patch of react-native-svg@15.16.0 (Android only), plus its patchedDependencies entry and override pin. In MarkerView.renderMarker:
auto keeps the path angle.auto-start-reverse adds 180° to the start marker only, as SVG 2 defines it.bogus, "", 90deg) falls back to 0° instead of throwing.Other effects:
orient="-1" used to collide with the old internal -1 meaning "auto", so it followed the path tangent. It now rotates by −1°, as written (R5).90deg) are not supported; they now draw at 0° instead of crashing.Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#32789

R2 puts its markers on a <g>. react-native-svg's Android GroupView combines its child paths into one marker sequence, so the lower path's start and the upper path's end are drawn as middle markers. R3 (auto, same geometry) shows the same thing, pixel-identical on main and after, so this is existing upstream behaviour. The real start marker (the upper path, and R1) is the one that flips.
R1 on the patched client: thread list (0–2 s), open "Marker repro" (2–5 s), settled image >───< (5–13 s), back to the list (13–18 s), reopen the thread and the image again (18–20.5 s). The app stays in the foreground throughout.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Fixes Android crashes when SVG markers use auto-start-reverse or invalid orientation values. Reported device comparisons preserve ordinary marker rendering, and the change is limited to native SVG presentation.

The Android SVG renderer now handles auto-start-reverse marker orientation and falls back to 0 for null or nonnumeric orientation values. The workspace pins react-native-svg to 15.16.0 and applies the patch for that version.

|---|---|
Marker orientation parsing and rendering patches/react-native-svg@15.16.0.patch | The Android renderer adds fallback parsing. For auto-start-reverse, start markers use the path angle plus 180°; other marker types use the path angle. auto uses the path angle, and other values are parsed numerically. |
Dependency pin and patch registration pnpm-workspace.yaml | The workspace pins react-native-svg to 15.16.0 and registers the patch for that version. |

Explanation
The title names the main change: the Android crash when an SVG marker uses orient="auto-start-reverse" is fixed. It follows the conventional commit style and matches the patch to react-native-svg for Android. It is specific and clear, so it passes.
Explanation
The description follows the template sections (Problem, Change, Scope and approval, Verification). The Problem section gives the reproduction steps, environment, and expected behavior. The Change section explains the patch and its effects. The Scope section links issue #32789 and says it was triaged through the automated issue flow. The Verification section lists the checks, the device environment, and the captures, and it states what was not checked. The description has the required information, so it passes. One gap: the Scope section does not clearly show a maintainer approval comment, which the template asks for. The template says non-critical gaps do not fail the check, so the verdict stays PASS.
Explanation
Issue #32789 requires that an inline SVG with marker orient="auto-start-reverse" render on Android without a crash, and that the chat open and reopen. The PR patches react-native-svg@15.16.0 MarkerView.renderMarker (Android only). The patch handles auto (path angle), auto-start-reverse (path angle plus 180° on start markers only), and numeric values. Null or unparsable values fall back to 0° instead of throwing. The author reports the crash on main (71c2d3a302) with the reporter's SVG. After the patch (47fe786e15), R1 renders >───< and the thread opens and reopens with the app staying in the foreground. R6 (bogus value) renders at the 0° fallback. This covers the issue's expected behavior. The issue stack trace names RenderableView.renderMarkers, while the PR targets MarkerView.renderMarker. The PR's own before-capture reproduces the crash on main, so the patched code path matches the reported failure. Remaining gaps are non-blocking: the issue's Android 17 and Galaxy S23 Ultra environment was not tested (the PR used Android 16 on a Pixel 9 emulator). The empty-string and 90deg variants were not tested on a device. The reduced SVG in the issue was not separately tested by the reporter. None of these is a stated requirement that the PR fails to implement.
Explanation
The reviewed changes are the MarkerView.renderMarker patch (+40 lines), its patchedDependencies entry, and the react-native-svg override pin in pnpm-workspace.yaml (+3 lines). All of them serve the crash fix for #32789. The behavior changes outside the exact reported value are side effects of the same orient parsing code: orient="-1" no longer collides with the old internal -1 sentinel (R5), and units such as 90deg now draw at 0° instead of throwing. The PR discloses both. Neither is a separate feature or unrelated refactor. The patch does not change iOS, and the PR states that iOS is unchanged. pnpm-lock.yaml matches the ignored-file rule and was not inspected. Its absence does not change this verdict.
