React Daily: Stuck Transition Fix and DevTools Facade Cleanup

Good morning, it's November first, twenty twenty-six, and this is React Daily.
The headline is a stuck-screen fix in concurrent rendering, backed by a quiet push to make developer tools inspection actually trustworthy.
First, transitions and deferred values. In P R thirty-eight oh eighty-three, a transition could stay on the previous screen when a suspended sibling resolved while a deferred task was still rendering. The deferred task would suspend on its final value, and expanding its suspended lanes wiped the original…
Second, a three-part cleanup in the developer tools facade. P R thirty-eight oh sixty-eight normalizes big integers to strings so serializing props and hook values no longer throws. P R thirty-eight oh sixty-seven fixes component lookup for title, meta, and non-resource link elements that were incorrectly reported…
Finally, two small edge cases. P R thirty-eight oh seventy-one forwards the cross-origin setting to the external runtime script in server streaming, matching bootstrap scripts. And P R thirty-eight oh eighty-seven fixes the compiler crash on rest parameters in event handlers by promoting temporary placeholders to…
What's next: test deferred transitions…
