12/// A Lottie animation component that renders frame-by-frame from a .json Lottie file.
13///
14/// With the `lottie-native` feature (default), Lottie JSON files are rendered natively
15/// via the `thorvg` CPU rasterizer — no external tools required. Priority:
16/// 1. `frames_dir` — backward-compatible pre-rendered PNG frames directory.
17/// 2. Native thorvg path — resolves `data` (inline JSON) or `src` (file path).
18///
19/// Without `lottie-native`, only `frames_dir` works; all other inputs produce no output.
