Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/49353
This change adds an opt-in to restore JavaScript log streaming via the Metro dev server, [removed from React Native core in 0.77](https://reactnative.dev/blog/2025/01/21/version-0.77#removal-of-consolelog-streaming-in-metro).
Users can opt into this legacy behaviour by adding the `--client-logs` flag to `npx react-native-community/cli start`.
- The default experience remains without streamed JS logs.
- The existing "JavaScript logs have moved! ..." notice is printed in all cases, and we do not advertise the new flag for new users.
- Under non-Community CLI dev servers (i.e. Expo), log streaming is restored implicitly.
We will clean up this functionality again when we eventually remove JS log streaming over `HMRClient`, tasked in T214991636.
**Implementation notes**
- Logs are always sent over `HMRClient` (previous status quo), even with log streaming off in the dev server. This is a necessary evil to be able to flag this functionality in a user-accessible place, and to move fast for 0.78.
- Necessarily, emitting `fusebox_console_notice` moves to the dev server itself, on first device (Fusebox) connection.

[General][Added] - Add opt in for legacy Metro log streaming via `--client-logs` flag

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/38795
## Context
RFC: Decoupling Flipper from React Native core: https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/641
## Changes
Inits new package `react-native/community-cli-plugin`. This migrates [`react-native-community/cli-plugin-metro`](https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/tree/main/packages/cli-plugin-metro) into the React Native repo, to enable faster iteration by the React Native core team. Specifically:
- This package contains several `metro` dependencies, which when removed from CLI will no longer require us to ship new CLI releases to get Metro patches and features to users.
- This package contains the `start`, `bundle`, and `ram-bundle` commands (central to the React Native development experience), for which we have incoming debugging-related changes.
- This package now **only** exports commands to be attached via a RN CLI plugin. With this move, we're aiming to **internalise** the default implementations of these dev commands within React Native — other RN CLI plugins can continue to override these, but must do so wholesale. (See also the recent fix for this: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/1999.)
In V15:
- (Microsoft feedback) Re-export `unstable_buildBundleWithConfig`, marking as unstable. This gives us a time buffer to consider how we repackage this functionality in future.
The package source has been converted from TypeScript to Flow, with a number of new `flow-typed/` defs added to meet type coverage requirements.
## To dos
- For now, we aren't removing the existing [`react-native-community/cli-plugin-metro`](https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/tree/main/packages/cli-plugin-metro) source — until later PRs consolidate this move by changing dependencies in the `react-native` package.
- **Exported API is reduced!**: I'm working with szymonrybczak to decouple references from RN CLI packages https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/2021.
