Solve this Flexbox puzzle

Contest Brief

I've posted a flexbox challenge that I've been struggling with on stackoverflow:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67351880/precise-control-of-flex-shrink-behavior

You can read it for yourself, but the key constraint here is to solve the problem with pure CSS styles--no javascript, please. Your solution must also use flexbox. Please examine the use cases image attached, and make sure that your solution satisfies all of the use cases.

I'm posting this as a contest because I kind of suspect this challenge might be impossible, so it doesn't make sense to pair up with a single developer who might not know what he's getting into. If you enjoy working on this kind of challenge, then please join in the fun.

The first person to send me a link to a jsfiddle fork of my sample that demonstrates a working solution will be the winner.

You can fork the jsfiddle I've prepared, here: http://jsfiddle.net/shmax/1wbrqoa5/74/

    Hi! How much space does 0.5 ratio mean? Can we change the HTML?

    Just a reminder--no javascript allowed! You can use javascript to manipulate the sliders used in the sample, but not to achieve the layout use cases. Thanks much for understanding.

    Hi, I had a question. I understand that the containers' text is modified in the html code and according to this the css should react, but how is the ratio p set by the user?
