REACT NATIVE FIXES TEST SERVER PATH BUG

React Native patched an asset path misconfiguration in its WebSocket test server that was breaking local development builds.

The fix [1] addresses incorrect asset routing in the WS test server, a silent killer for developers spinning up new projects locally. This wasn't a production issue, but it was the kind of paper cut that makes you question your setup for an hour before someone points out the obvious. The patch is already in the main branch as of this morning. If you're on the latest cut and seeing odd 404s on static assets during local testing, this is your answer. Treat this as a minor quality-of-life improvement, not a critical patch, but grab it when you next sync main.
