Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.
The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

| c388754 | This commit **re-lands a previous change** to **refactor** the **Image component** by **removing the `fixImageSrcDimensionPropagation` feature flag** from `react-native`. It makes the logic previously guarded by this flag the **default behavior** for image source dimension propagation within `Image.android.js`, eliminating conditional checks. The `fixImageSrcDimensionPropagation` definition is also removed from `ReactNativeFeatureFlags.js`, and corresponding **integration tests** are updated to reflect this new default. This **cleanup** streamlines image dimension handling on Android by standardizing behavior and reducing codebase complexity. | Mar 19 | 4 | maint |
| 540120a | This commit **reverts** a previous change, effectively **removing** the `fixImageSrcDimensionPropagation` feature flag and its associated conditional logic. It specifically undoes the conditional application of image source dimension propagation within the **Android `Image` component** (`Image.android.js`), restoring its prior behavior. The **feature flag definition** and its getter are also removed from the **feature flags system** (`ReactNativeFeatureFlags.config.js`, `ReactNativeFeatureFlags.js`). This **maintenance revert** ensures the `Image` module on Android operates as it did before the introduction of this experimental flag. | Mar 19 | 4 | grow |

| ca7edaf | This commit provides a **bug fix** and **defensive programming** enhancement to the **`DisplayMetricsHolder`** utility within React Native's Android platform. It introduces a try-catch block around the `WindowManager` service access in `initDisplayMetrics()` to prevent `IllegalAccessException` on **Android 11+ (API 30+)** when the method is invoked from non-visual contexts. This change ensures the application does not crash, instead gracefully degrading by retaining resource display metrics if `WindowManager` access fails, primarily affecting the precision of system decor dimensions. The **stability** of display metric initialization is significantly improved for various internal callers like `ReactHostImpl` and `UIManagerModule`. | Feb 28 | 2 | waste |
| 2f9711d | This commit **fixes a race condition** in the **`AccessibilityInfoModule`** within **React Native's Android implementation**, preventing `NullPointerException` crashes. It addresses a Time-Of-Check to Time-Of-Use (TOCTOU) issue where the React context could become invalid between checking and using it. By refactoring event emission in `updateAndSendTouchExplorationChangeEvent` and `updateAndSendAccessibilityServiceChangeEvent` to use safe calls with `getReactApplicationContextIfActiveOrWarn`, the module now only sends accessibility state change events when the context is active. This **bug fix** significantly improves **application stability** by preventing crashes related to accessibility event emission when the React context is inactive. | Feb 27 | 1 | waste |
| cd4a2bd | This commit **refactors** the **I18nManagerModule** within **React Native's Android implementation** to enhance how locale information is accessed. It replaces a direct call to `configuration.locales[0]` with `ConfigurationCompat.getLocales()` from AndroidX, which internally manages API level compatibility. This change, specifically within the `getTypedExportedConstants` method, also introduces a fallback to `Locale.getDefault()` if the locale list is empty. This **maintenance update** improves the **robustness and reliability of internationalization features**, ensuring more consistent locale detection across various Android versions for React Native applications. | Feb 23 | 1 | maint |

| c1f5445 | This commit **introduces selection data** to the `TextInput.onChange` event, exposing the cursor position (`selection`) within the event payload. This **new capability** aligns `TextInput` behavior with web platforms, allowing developers to access `selection` information during text input changes. It updates **Flow** and **TypeScript** definitions for `TextInputChangeEventData` to include this optional `selection` property, complementing recent native changes. Additionally, **RNTester** examples are updated to demonstrate this new data, enabling more precise control and UI updates based on text input state. | Jan 20 | 3 | grow |
| 162627a | This commit **enhances the `TextInput` component** by **adding `selection` data** (representing the cursor's start and end positions) to the `onChange` event payload on both **iOS and Android native platforms**. This **new capability** restores and extends functionality, unifying behavior across platforms and better aligning React Native's `TextInput` with web standards for input events. The change involves modifying `ReactTextChangedEvent` and `ReactTextInputTextWatcher` on Android to include selection data, and updating `TextInputEventEmitter.cpp` on iOS/macOS to dispatch the event with the selection state. Consequently, developers can now access cursor location within `onChange` events, enabling more sophisticated text input handling and supporting projects like `react-strict-dom`. | Jan 6 | 3 | grow |
| 391fc3c | This commit introduces a **default case** to the switch statement within the `EnumTemplate` function in `GenerateEventEmitterH.js`, which is part of the **React Native Codegen** tool. This **maintenance fix** addresses compiler warnings (`-Wswitch-default`) that were causing build failures when generating C++ event emitter headers. By ensuring all enum values are explicitly handled, it prevents future build issues related to unhandled cases in the generated C++ code. This change improves the **stability and robustness of the build process** for React Native projects by resolving a critical compiler warning. | Dec 23 | 4 | maint |
| 80e384a | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Android `AppearanceModule`** by adding a listener mechanism to the `OverrideColorScheme` interface, resolving an issue where React Native JavaScript was not notified of dynamic dark mode changes. Previously, UI inconsistencies arose when the user's color scheme preference was altered via an `OverrideColorScheme` implementation. The change adds `addSchemeChangeListener()` and `removeSchemeChangeListener()` to the `OverrideColorScheme` interface, with `AppearanceModule` now automatically registering to trigger `onConfigurationChanged()` when the scheme changes. This ensures **dynamic dark mode updates** are propagated to React Native applications, providing a more consistent user experience on Android. | Dec 10 | 2 | grow |
| 1ad2ec0 | This commit **refactors** the **`ReactAndroid`** module by updating the **`PixelUtil`** utility to retrieve display metrics using `getScreenDisplayMetrics()` instead of `getWindowDisplayMetrics()`. This **maintenance** change prepares for upcoming modifications where `getWindowDisplayMetrics()` will require a `UiContext`, preventing potential issues if window-specific dimensions are not strictly necessary. The change ensures pixel conversion functions like `toPixelFromDIP` and `toDIPFromPixel` rely on more stable screen-wide metrics. Several **test files** across various components were also updated to align their display metrics setup with this new approach. | Aug 29 | 6 | maint |
| 1c7925a | This commit performs a **maintenance update** to the **React Native changelog**. It **removes an entry** that was previously included but subsequently reverted for the upcoming **0.81 release**. This ensures the **official release documentation** accurately reflects the features and changes present in `React Native 0.81`, preventing confusion for developers reviewing the release notes. | Aug 12 | 2 | – |
| 352e440 | This commit **reverts** a significant **refactoring** that aimed to consolidate and simplify **display metrics initialization** across various **React Native Android** components. Specifically, it undoes changes to `DisplayMetricsHolder`, `ReactInstanceManager`, `ReactRootView`, `DeviceInfoModule`, `ReactHostImpl`, `ReactInstance`, and `UIManagerModule`, which had introduced unified `initDisplayMetrics` methods. By backing out this change, the previous, less consolidated approach to handling display and window dimensions on Android is restored. This **maintenance** action effectively undoes the intended "Fix Dimensions window values on Android < 15" that the original refactoring sought to address. | Aug 8 | 11 | maint |
| 8b2e309 | This commit **refactors** the **React Native Android UIManager** by replacing calls to `DisplayMetricsHolder.getWindowDisplayMetrics()` with `DisplayMetricsHolder.getScreenDisplayMetrics()`. This **maintenance** change proactively addresses potential issues with `windowDisplayMetrics` initialization, which will soon depend on `UiContext`, ensuring more robust display metric handling. The update primarily affects **pixel utility functions** within `PixelUtil.kt`, where `toPixelFromDIP`, `toPixelFromSP`, `toDIPFromPixel`, and `getDisplayMetricDensity` now use screen-wide metrics. Consequently, several **Android unit tests** across various components, including `TouchEventDispatchTest.kt` and `ReactImagePropertyTest.kt`, have been updated to reflect this change by using `setScreenDisplayMetrics`. This ensures consistent and stable retrieval of display dimensions where window-specific sizes are not strictly required. | Aug 7 | 6 | maint |
| 9613d37 | This commit provides a **bug fix** and **consistency improvement** for **TurboModule type checking** within the **React Native Android bridge**. It refines the `getJSType` function in `TurboModuleInteropUtils.kt` by unifying boolean type comparisons. The change replaces instances of `java.lang.Boolean` with Kotlin's native `Boolean` to ensure consistent and accurate type resolution for **TurboModules**. This update prevents potential runtime discrepancies and completes a previous type checking adjustment, ensuring robust interop functionality. | Jun 16 | 1 | waste |
| 14cea6e | This commit **updates the Android Modal component** to correctly handle back button presses by migrating from the deprecated `KEYCODE_BACK` to `OnBackPressedCallback`. This **compatibility fix** addresses changes introduced in Android SDK 36, particularly concerning predictive back gestures. By utilizing `ComponentDialog` within `ReactModalHostView.kt`, the **React Native Modal** ensures robust and future-proof back navigation behavior on Android. This prevents potential issues with modal dismissal on newer Android versions where `KEYCODE_BACK` is no longer reliably triggered. | May 8 | 1 | waste |
| bc876fb | This commit **migrates Android back press handling** within `ReactActivity.java` to support **predictive back gestures** and address the deprecation of `Activity.onBackPressed()` for `targetSdk 36` and above. It **implements `OnBackPressedCallback`** conditionally, registering it in `onCreate` to manage back events. To ensure backward compatibility and prevent immediate breaking changes, the new callback temporarily invokes the existing `onBackPressed()` method. This **maintenance update** is crucial for future Android platform compatibility, ensuring React Native applications correctly handle back navigation on newer OS versions. | May 8 | 2 | grow |
| 1fb04e2 | This commit **fixes type comparison logic** within the **TurboModule interop utility functions** in `TurboModuleInteropUtils.kt`. It addresses an issue where Java primitive and boxed types were incorrectly referenced in Kotlin, leading to potential type mismatches during interop. By using `::class.javaPrimitiveType` and `::class.javaObjectType` instead of plain `::class.java`, the change ensures accurate type resolution for functions like `getJSReturnType` and `getJSArgumentType`. This **bug fix** improves the robustness and correctness of **TurboModule type handling** in the React Native Android bridge. | Apr 22 | 1 | waste |
| 77f2c61 | This commit provides a **bug fix** within the **React Native Android implementation**, specifically for the **Modal** view component. It corrects an erroneous class name found in a `ReplaceWith` annotation for a deprecated constructor within `packages/react-native/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/views/modal/RequestCloseEvent.kt`. This **maintenance** change ensures that deprecation warnings and automatic code replacements correctly reference `RequestCloseEvent` instead of `ShowEvent`, improving the accuracy of developer tooling and maintaining consistency for those working with **Modal** events. | Apr 21 | 1 | waste |
