React Native: Deep Import Cleanup and Input Timing Fix

Good morning, it's Sunday, September 20th, 2026, and this is your React Native briefing.
The lead signal is boundary enforcement: stop reaching into internals, use the public door.
That theme runs through four related internal changes focused on deep imports. Spanning the Jest preset, Fantom test setup, generated codegen modules, and other package consumers — for example, PR 58602 and PR 58605 — the work migrates everything to the React Native root exports, documented secondary entry points,…
For you, the impact is maintainability and release risk. If your tooling, mocks, or tests rely on unsupported subpaths today, expect them to break. Migrate to public exports now.
Second theme: accurate input timing on Android. PR 58607 adds the native event time to the hardware key event payload. Previously, JavaScript could only timestamp when the event arrived on the J-S thread, which hides the native-to-J-S delay — and hides more of it when the thread is busiest. The new field uses the…
Finally, housekeeping: the redundant root Claude instructions file was removed in favor of the single agents file, and version 0.332.0 was deployed to the cross-platform repo.
