Jest shipped three critical fixes for CommonJS-to-ESM module interop that align behavior with Node.js, while React Native re-enabled a flaky VirtualizedList test and fixed out-of-order events on Android Fabric.

Jest's runtime layer was leaking `__esModule` unwrapping into CJS imports of ESM modules, breaking interop expectations [1]. The team also fixed function module.exports handling for named exports [2] and added long-overdue support for custom runner configuration via tuple format [7]—reporters got this years ago, runners finally caught up. On the React Native side, VirtualizedList's "retains batch render region" test was unstable under React 19's timer semantics and now passes reliably [3]. Android Fabric developers will want the out-of-order event fix [4], which addresses buffering behavior when EventEmitterWrapper hasn't mounted yet. The 0.86.0-rc.0 changelog is live [5] and Hermes bumped to 250829098.0.13 [6], bringing the latest compiler optimizations.
