See Skia bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/skia/issues/detail?id=13297
See customer reporting noticing this phenomenon: #102947

Note that solving that customer issue will require us to resort to an opaque transfer of all gradient shaders from text until Impeller implements its own paragraph code, or until Skia opens up the Gradient inspection method to provide all necessary information.

For most Flutter apps, this should not impact them as the path from the ui.Gradient/Paint/Canvas objects into the engine preserves all information for rendering. But if the Gradient is used in a Text Paragraph, then the information goes through a skia module that will represent them as SkShader objects which cannot be inspected enough to reconstruct the full information in a DlColorSource object.

This does not cause a problem using the current rendering pipeline that goes through Skia for final rendering, but this means that the Impeller pipeline will not be able to render gradients on text.
