Summary: Add a `fontVariationSettings` text style prop and carry it through Fabric text attributes into Android text rendering. Android now deserializes the prop for `<Text>`, applies it to `Paint`, and includes it in text measurement cache identity because variable axes can affect layout. Preserve the distinction between an absent setting and an explicitly empty setting so nested text can inherit or clear the parent variation axes. Apply high-level font properties before low-level variation settings so explicit axes take precedence, matching CSS font realization order. Settings syntax is intentionally forwarded unchanged through common text attributes and validated only by the Android font variation parser. This avoids narrowing the grammar Android accepts. As a result, malformed child settings are outside the supported inheritance contract: they replace an inherited value before Android validation and are not guaranteed to fall back to the parent settings. Android also accepts `normal` and the React Native empty-string convention as explicit resets.

Summary: Pull Request resolved: react#57805 Extend Android `TextInput` support for the existing `fontVariationSettings` text style prop. Fabric now forwards changes and resets through `AndroidTextInputProps`, and `ReactTextInputManager` applies the normalized value to the underlying `ReactEditText` paint after typeface updates. Using the `EditText` paint as the source of truth applies variable font axes consistently to placeholders, controlled values, and newly typed text. Equivalent `CustomStyleSpan`s are stripped while spans with different variation settings remain intact for attributed text ranges. As with `<Text>`, common text attributes forward settings syntax unchanged and Android remains the validation authority. This avoids narrowing Android-compatible grammar; malformed settings are outside the supported inheritance contract. Both `normal` and the React Native empty-string convention explicitly reset variation settings.
