Nativewind v5 Expo 57 release candidate 1

Nativewind 5.0.0-rc.1 pairs with react-native-css 3.1.0-rc.1 for Expo 57. Nativewind preview and rc select this candidate; latest remains on v4.

Nativewind's own code is unchanged from 5.0.0-rc.0. This candidate moves the exact engine pin to react-native-css 3.1.0-rc.1, which adds Metro build warnings and fixes Babel, compiler and native variable handling. See the engine release notes.

The target is unchanged: Expo 57.0.22, React Native 0.86.3, React 19.2.3, Reanimated 4.5.1 and Worklets 0.10.1.

Upgrading from 5.0.0-rc.0

Upgrade both packages together, because Nativewind pins the exact engine version:

npm install --save-exact nativewind@5.0.0-rc.1 react-native-css@3.1.0-rc.1

Setup, compatibility limits and migration guidance are the same as 5.0.0-rc.0.
