Android: Resolves dynamically from the active theme using the local context to return the underlying raw drawable resource ID (Int). Since Coil natively supports resource IDs, this is highly efficient, has virtually zero CPU/memory overhead, and integrates perfectly with Android's native caching.

iOS: Loads the asset from the dynamic design system bundle as a native UIImage, and serializes it into a raw, lossless PNG ByteArray so that Coil 3's Skia rendering engine can natively decode and display it.

Redundant Pipeline: Serializing a UIImage into PNG bytes (UIImagePNGRepresentation), copying the memory across the cinterop bridge via memcpy, and then having Coil decode it back into Skia pixels incurs significant CPU and memory overhead.

Rasterization: Converting vector-based assets (e.g. PDF/SVG assets in the asset catalog) to PNG bytes rasterizes them to a fixed pixel resolution, losing crisp vector scalability on zoom/scale.

Recommendation: Always prefer the native DsImage composable for local assets whenever possible. It renders the image natively via a UIImageView using UIKit interop, bypassing Skia entirely to achieve zero copy overhead and full crisp vector support.
