Vue materializes a null/v-if/false render as a COMMENT host node that occupies
a positional slot in node.children. React never produces a childNode for such
children, so Ink's squash loop (squash-text-nodes.ts:13) never advances `index`
past them — empirically <Text>A{null}<Transform>(s,i)=>`${i}:${s}`>B</Transform>
yields "A1:B". vue-tui's three squash loops used the raw positional loop counter,
so a preceding comment took a slot and shifted the Transform to "A2:B".
The fix maintains a separate transform index that advances only for children
React would have produced — i.e. skips comment nodes — applied IDENTICALLY in
the paint, measure, and screen-reader paths so all three agree and match Ink.
G21 (which switched these loops from a hardcoded 0 to the positional counter)
introduced the precondition; its real-sibling positional indexing and G32's
transform-in-transform recursion remain intact.
