Added

• EventTarget: Enable the imperative EventTarget API (addEventListener, removeEventListener, dispatchEvent) on native view refs in canary (8480b86820 by @rubennorte)

Changed

• Events: Enabled Web-based event dispatching refactor (31d33ce91b by @rubennorte)
• Hermes: Bump Hermes to 260318099.0.3 (79024f7c59 by @fabriziocucci)
• React: Sync React 19.3.0 into React Native (b0b71421c1 by @rubennorte)

Fixed

iOS specific

• Codegen: No longer crawls node_modules or follows symlinks when discovering components (39751d864d by @gabrieldonadel)
• SwiftPM: Generated manifests derive their iOS platform floor from the app's IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET instead of hardcoding iOS 15, so dependencies with a higher minimum (e.g. Expo, 16.4) can be autolinked (92564f33fd by @chrfalch)
• SwiftPM: Read the SwiftPM name from the podspec and store it in package.json when scaffolding (1cfc5f29a0 by @chrfalch)
• SwiftPM: Run generated build scripts under bash instead of /bin/sh, so they don't break on a host where /bin/sh isn't bash (25f48bd72f by @lazerg)
