React's server renderer now exposes browser bailout events through a new Fizz callback, while Jest tears out 8-year-old file watchers in favor of Parcel's production watcher.

React landed `onBrowserBailout`, a Fizz option that lets you observe when server renders intentionally defer work to the browser [1]. This hooks into the same recoverable error mechanism that powers `ReactDOM.browser()` and future APIs, giving you visibility into when the server punts and why. On the React Native front, three commits harden the platform: Perfetto tracing now ships enabled by default in Android dev builds [2], the on-demand JS segment loader no longer crashes on missing cache files [3], and accessibility traits now derive consistently from role and state instead of drifting on recycled Fabric views [4]. Jest made two major moves. The haste-map replaced its vendored `NodeWatcher` and `FSEventsWatcher` from sane with `@parcel/watcher`, which handles platform dispatch natively across Windows, macOS, and Linux [6]. Meanwhile, `--collectTests` now expands `test.each` and `describe.each` to report accurate per-case counts with skip and todo status [5]. Lock file maintenance and Babel RC pinning round out the period [7] [8].
