Walk through building a high-performance native module using Rust compiled to N-API for React Native's Bridgeless mode, covering the FFI boundary design, zero-copy ArrayBuffer transfers between Rust and Hermes, cargo-ndk and cargo-lipo build integration, and the memory safety guarantees that eliminated an entire class of use-after-free crashes in our production image processing pipeline
