REACT FLIGHT PATCHES DEBUG INFO LEAK, REACT-NATIVE FIXES RUNTIME CRASHES

React's Server Components framework shipped a critical fix for debug information leaking past error boundaries, while React-Native addressed multiple C++ crashes affecting animation and networking.

React Flight now properly truncates debug info arrays when chunks error mid-stream [1], closing a gap where previously-parsed debug data could surface stack traces beyond the consumer cutoff. This matters because Flight's error handling was asymmetrical - it filtered debug info on successful model initialization but left the array unfiltered on stream failures, a subtle but real information disclosure in production apps serving sensitive work traces. In parallel, React DevTools refactored internal dispatcher handling [2] to reduce the React module footprint in build artifacts, unblocking the team's facade work without behavioral changes. Over in React-Native, two critical runtime fixes landed: a build break under clang-22 where the placeholder StateData declared but never defined getMapBuffer() [3], and a per-instance backend selection fix [4] that prevents EXC_BAD_ACCESS crashes when useSharedAnimatedBackend() flips across a reused C++ animation runtime. The animation fix is particularly important because it stops reading the feature flag live in hot paths and instead decides the backend once per instance, eliminating a race condition that crashed apps mid-animation.
