This commit **enhances the iOS build system** by **integrating** the `RCTDevSupportHttpHeaders` into the `React-umbrella.h` header file. This **new capability** centralizes the inclusion of development support utilities, making them readily available for **iOS React Native projects**. The change simplifies the build process and ensures that necessary development-related headers are consistently included when building React Native applications for iOS, streamlining access to debugging and development features.

This commit introduces a **new capability** by adding a generic request interceptor API to the **`RCTMultipartDataTask`** component within the React Native iOS base module. It **refactors** the request handling by replacing a hardcoded dependency on `RCTDevSupportHttpHeaders` with a more flexible mechanism. Developers can now use the new `RCTSetCustomMultipartDataTaskRequestInterceptor` function to register a custom block, allowing them to inspect and modify multipart data task requests before they are sent. This change **decouples** the `RCTMultipartDataTask` from specific header injection logic, providing greater extensibility and control over network requests.

Revert: chore: update markdownlint-rule-relative-links to v5.1.0 (#55907)

This commit introduces an **`SRWebSocketProvider` pattern** to the **iOS WebSocket module** (`RCTWebSocketModule`), enabling **selective injection of custom headers** into WebSocket connections. It **refactors** the previous blind application of development headers by allowing developers to register a custom provider block via `RCTSetCustomSRWebSocketProvider`. This **new capability** provides greater control over WebSocket creation, allowing for use cases like injecting authentication headers for specific endpoints. The `RCTWebSocketModule.h` and `RCTWebSocketModule.mm` files are updated to declare and implement this provider hook, ensuring that if no provider is set or returns nil, the default `SRWebSocket` creation logic is used.

This commit introduces a **new capability** for **HTTP networking** by adding an `RCTHTTPRequestInterceptor` to the `RCTHTTPRequestHandler` module. It **refactors** the previous blind application of development headers, allowing developers to register a custom block via `RCTSetCustomHTTPRequestInterceptor` to inspect and **selectively modify outgoing HTTP requests**. This provides granular control over header injection, enabling per-request customization while preserving the shared `NSURLSession` configuration. The change enhances flexibility for **network request customization** within the framework.

This commit **enhances** the **React DevTools connection mechanism** by dynamically deriving the WebSocket scheme (ws/wss) and port directly from the development server's URL. This **new capability**, implemented in `setUpReactDevTools.js`, ensures that **React DevTools connections function correctly when the development server is accessed over HTTPS**. It specifically addresses the challenge of connecting to secure dev servers, providing a robust solution that also includes a fallback for standard local development environments. This **maintenance** work improves the developer experience by enabling seamless DevTools integration across various server configurations.

This commit **enhances the iOS development experience** by dynamically deriving the URL scheme for the **inspector and debugger functionality**. Previously, the `RCTInspectorDevServerHelper` module hardcoded `http://` when constructing device and debugger URLs, preventing these tools from connecting when the development server was accessed over HTTPS. This **new capability** now ensures that functions like `getInspectorDeviceUrl` correctly use the bundle URL's scheme, **enabling seamless debugging and inspection** for React Native iOS applications served over secure connections.

This commit **fixes a bug** in the **iOS inspector's development server helper** (`RCTInspectorDevServerHelper`) by updating the `getServerHost()` function. It now correctly determines the server host and port, especially when dealing with **HTTPS bundle URLs**. The change ensures that the explicit port from the URL takes priority, followed by the `RCT_METRO_PORT` environment variable, and correctly omits the default port for HTTPS schemes. This **bug fix** improves the reliability of the **iOS inspector's** connection to the Metro development server when using secure connections.

This commit **fixes a critical bug** in the **iOS build process** where `tar` extraction within the `replace-rncore-version.js` script would silently fail on **EdenFS**. Previously, this led to incomplete `React-Core-prebuilt` installations, causing subsequent builds to use an incorrect or partial configuration. The **bug fix** now extracts tarballs to a temporary directory, verifies the extraction's success (including checking tar's exit code), and then moves the contents to the final location. This ensures all necessary files are present in `React-Core-prebuilt`, preventing silent build failures and guaranteeing reliable **iOS builds** for developers working on **EdenFS**.

This commit introduces a **workflow improvement** to the **CI/CD pipeline**, specifically within the **Android build process**. It **modifies the condition** for executing the `set-rn-artifacts-version.js` script in `.github/actions/build-android/action.yml`. Previously, this script would incorrectly run for Pull Requests targeting stable branches; now, it will **skip execution** in such scenarios by checking the `github.base_ref`. This change prevents unnecessary processing and **improves CI efficiency** by ensuring the versioning script only runs when relevant.

This commit provides a **bug fix** for **multi-architecture Apple builds**, specifically addressing an issue where `clang`'s `-target` and `-arch` flags were incorrectly combined, resulting in an improper target triple. It modifies the `configure_apple_framework` function within the `utils/build-apple-framework.sh` script. The change ensures that a single `-target` flag is used, allowing CMake to correctly manage multi-arch `-arch` flags. This guarantees that **Hermes binaries are properly structured** and include all necessary architectures for Apple platforms, particularly for Catalyst builds.

This commit **updates** the **Hermes JavaScript engine version** integrated into **React Native** to `250829098.0.6`. Specifically, it modifies the `HERMES_V1_VERSION_NAME` within the `packages/react-native/sdks/hermes-engine/version.properties` file. This **maintenance update** ensures that **React Native projects** consume the latest stable Hermes V1 release, aligning the framework with recent engine developments.

This commit **updates the E2E test configuration** to utilize **prebuilt React Native artifacts** for the template app, aligning the testing environment with the default release process. It enables the `RCT_TESTONLY_RNCORE_TARBALL_PATH` environment variable within the `.github/workflows/test-all.yml` CI workflow. This **maintenance change** ensures that end-to-end tests accurately reflect the behavior of production builds, improving test reliability and consistency. The scope is limited to the **testing infrastructure**, specifically how React Native is sourced for E2E runs.

This commit performs **maintenance** on the project's **CI/CD workflows** by **bumping the default Xcode version to 16.4.0** within the `.github/actions/setup-xcode` GitHub Action. Crucially, it **removes the capability and logic for explicitly downloading Apple SDKs**, streamlining the setup process and potentially **reducing CI build times and costs**. The `.github/actions/test-ios-rntester` action is also updated to align with these changes, no longer specifying platform SDKs and defaulting unit tests to `false`. This **optimization** simplifies the Xcode environment setup in CI by assuming necessary SDKs are pre-installed or handled differently.

This commit **makes Hermes V1 the default JavaScript engine** for React Native applications across **both iOS and Android platforms**. It involves **updating the build system configuration**, including the `gradle.properties` file, the `react-native-gradle-plugin`, and **iOS Pods integration** to enable Hermes V1 by default. This **significant configuration change** ensures that new projects and those not explicitly overriding the engine will benefit from Hermes V1's performance improvements and smaller bundle sizes. The change also updates **prebuild scripts and CI workflows** to reflect this new default, serving as a **critical preparatory step** for the upcoming `react-native 0.84` release.

This commit **updates the Android build CI/CD pipeline** by modifying the `.github/actions/build-android/action.yml` workflow. It introduces a new step to read the current React Native version and adjusts the condition for setting the RN version to include stable branches. This **maintenance change** ensures that **release candidate versions (RC.0)** are correctly processed by the build system, particularly when the development version is `1000.0.0`. The update facilitates proper testing and release of new React Native versions by correctly identifying and handling these specific versioning scenarios within the **CI environment**.

This commit introduces a **CI/CD improvement** by configuring the GitHub Actions workflow to automatically **rerun failed Fantom tests**. Specifically, the `.github/workflows/test-all.yml` file is updated to include `run_fantom_tests` in the `rerun-failed-jobs` workflow's dependencies and conditions. This **maintenance** change addresses the known flakiness of the **Fantom test suite**, ensuring more reliable and accurate test results without manual intervention. The primary impact is a reduction in false-negative test failures, streamlining the development and release process by mitigating intermittent test failures.

This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **`validate-dotslash-artifacts` GitHub Actions workflow**, addressing a recurring CI failure caused by an incompatible Node.js version. Previously, the job would fail due to requiring Node.js `>= 22.11.0` but running on `20.19.6`. The change explicitly adds a step within `.github/workflows/validate-dotslash-artifacts.yml` to set up the correct Node.js environment, ensuring the **CI pipeline** runs reliably. This **maintenance** prevents false negatives and improves the stability of automated artifact validation.

This commit performs a **maintenance update** by bumping the referenced version of the **Hermes V1 engine** within the React Native SDK. Specifically, it updates the `HERMES_V1_VERSION_NAME` property in `packages/react-native/sdks/hermes-engine/version.properties` from `250829098.0.1` to `250829098.0.5`. This ensures that the `main` branch of React Native consistently points to the latest released Hermes V1 version, which is crucial for **internal alignment** and leveraging recent engine improvements.

This commit performs a **maintenance update** by synchronizing the internal React dependencies within **React Native** to version **19.2.3**. It updates the version numbers across the `ReactFabric` and `ReactNativeRenderer` implementations, including their development, production, and profiling variants. Additionally, it introduces **React version compatibility checks** within the `ReactNativeRenderer` files to ensure proper integration. This synchronization is crucial for maintaining compatibility and allowing **React Native applications** to benefit from the latest React core features and improvements.
