Alex Hunt's team dropped legacy dependencies and reorganized the dev server stack to make react-native.config.js a thin routing layer.

React Native removed its local dependency on `react-native-community/cli-server-api` Flow types, eliminating a transient dependency that leaked into end user projects [1]. The same push relocated codegen and spm command wrappers out of react-native.config.js and into the community-cli-plugin package, continuing a larger refactor to move command definitions away from the root config [2]. Alex Hunt also restructured CLI plugin server modules under a new src/dev-server/ directory, renaming internal files like middleware.js to loadCommunityMiddleware.js for clarity, though the public startCommand export stayed unchanged [3]. A debug log was promoted to a user-facing warn across several features in RN that depend on this cleanup [1]. George Zahariev deployed version 0.324.0 to xplat in parallel, keeping the ecosystem coordinated [4].
