JEST RUNTIME CLASS GETS MAJOR SURGERY WHILE REACT DEVTOOLS FIXES CROSS-WINDOW HOVER BUG

Jest is undergoing a comprehensive refactor to break apart its 3,000-line runtime class, while React DevTools patches a long-standing issue where component highlights persist when you move your mouse out of the inspector panel entirely.

The Jest team is systematically decomposing the monolithic jest-runtime class across a series of PRs [1] [2] [3] [4], extracting resolution logic, transform caches, synthetic module builders, and module executors into separate concerns. This isn't a feature ship—it's architectural debt being aggressively paid down, and it matters because runtime is where test isolation lives. In parallel, a smaller but annoying fix landed in React DevTools [5] that clears component highlights when your pointer leaves the inspector window entirely [6]. Before this, the synthetic event system only fired `onMouseLeave` when moving between elements in the same document, leaving ghost highlights on the inspected page. Jest also fixed an asymmetry where ES module imports weren't caught the same way as CommonJS requires after teardown [7], closing a hole in test isolation error handling.
