   Thank you for opening a new React Native Pick Request.

   These are the criteria we follow when accepting or rejecting a code change into a React Native release branch (source).

   If your Pick Request does not satisfy the criteria below, please close it as it will not be considered.

   ✅ Which Pick Requests we accept

   1. ✅ Fixes for regressions to core APIs. Examples:
      • A core component is behaving differently between versions 0.X and 0.X-1
      • The TurboModule.getEnforcing function is throwing an unexpected assertion error.
   2. ✅ Fixes to bugs in core React Native. Examples:
      • Breakpoints in React Native DevTools not working correctly in the debugger
      • Fast Refresh not working as expected
      • Metro bundler not starting properly or ignoring the configuration file
      • Buttons that are not clickable
   3. ✅ Fixes to APIs used by third-party libraries and out-of-tree platforms. Examples:
      • An API used by react-native-macos is not behaving as expected or is regressing
   4. ✅ Bump of patch version of dependencies. Example:
      • Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.11.1
   5. ✅ Fixes for low/high severity security vulnerabilities. Example:
      • Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.12.0 if there is a security vulnerability in 8.11 and no 8.11.x version contains the same fix.
   6. ✅ Fixes and reverts of accidental breaking changes. Example:
      • Reverting or fix-forwarding a Kotlin migration of a file (e.g. ReactRootView.java) if it is causing a breaking change for the React Native ecosystem.
   7. ✅ Performance improvements. Examples:
      • Fixing unnecessary re-renders in FlatList.
   8. ✅ Any Pick Request if the release is still in RC0 (after RC1, the previously listed criteria apply)

   ❌ Which Pick Requests we don't accept

   9. ❌ Any Pick Request that introduces a breaking change after RC1. Example:
      • A bugfix that contains a refactoring, resulting in changes to the public API of a class
   10. ❌ Any Pick Request that introduces a new feature after RC1. Example:
       • A commit that introduces a new API or a specific feature for a component.
   11. ❌ Bump of major or minor version of dependencies. Examples:
       • Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.12.0
       • Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 9.0.0
   12. ❌ Bump of a dependency to a pre-release version. Example:
       • Bump Gradle from 8.11.0 to 8.11.1-beta.1
   13. ❌ Any Pick Request that introduces changes to the React Native testing infrastructure after RC1. Examples:
       • Changes to GitHub Actions workflows to optimize them, even if they are on main.
       • Changes to the logic used to publish packages to NPM or Maven Central
   14. ❌ Pick Request composed of multiple commits that have several merge conflicts.
       • If your Pick Request is too complex to apply to the release branch, it will be rejected.
   15. ❌ Any non-critical improvement that landed on main.
       • These will generally ship in the following version unless they fit one of the criteria above.
   16. ❌ Any Pick Request considered a "nice to have".
       • Even one-line changes carry a risk of destabilizing and further delaying the release.

   ℹ️ What makes for a good Pick Request

   In order for your Pick Request to be considered, please do the following:

   • ℹ️ Limit your Pick Request to one commit from main, or one PR against the release branch.
   • ℹ️ Include a clear explanation of why your Pick Request should be considered, ideally referencing one of the criteria above.
   • ℹ️ Target only one minor version of React Native (e.g. [0.76]). To have your Pick Request applied to more versions, please open separate Pick Requests.

   Picked manually into 0.88-stable as e1988679c7f (cherry-pick of d6a5f159c6e with -x, so the commit records its origin). Authorship is preserved.

   CI is green on the resulting branch tip 13d30b643cb: all five workflows pass, Test All at 71 success and 0 failures.
