REACT HARDENS RELEASE PIPELINE, JEST PLUGS SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

React now signs artifacts across all release branches, closing a gap that could have left older versions unverified in production.

React's CI pipeline expanded artifact attestation beyond main to all release branches [1], meaning backport releases and older version patches now ship with the same cryptographic proof as cutting-edge builds. This matters because unverified artifacts create supply chain exposure, and older versions often run in enterprise environments that can't upgrade quickly. On the same front, Jest disabled build scripts in its own pipeline [2], a direct move to cut off one vector for supply chain attacks. React Native is grinding through internal consistency fixes across codegen fixtures [3] and manually patching files that codemods missed [4], cleanup work tied to broader infrastructure changes landing in Metro and Relay. The trio of moves signals coordinated hardening: React securing its release gates, Jest tightening its build process, and Native cleaning up after structural shifts.
