OSS release infrastructure for the (experimental) React Native DevTools standalone shell.
Currently, binaries are built continuously on Meta infra and served from the Meta CDN using fbcdn.net URLs checked into a DotSlash file in the repo, e.g.:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/15373218ec572c0e43325845b80a849ad5174cc3/packages/debugger-shell/bin/react-native-devtools#L9-L18
For open source releases we want to primarily distribute the binaries as GitHub release assets, while keeping the Meta CDN URLs as a secondary option. This PR makes the necessary changes to the release workflows to support this:
* `workflows/create-release.yml` (modified): As part of the release commit, rewrite the DotSlash file to include the release asset URLs.
* **NOTE:** After this commit, **the new URLs don't work yet**, because they refer to a release that hasn't been published. Despite this, the DotSlash file remains valid and usable (because DotSlash will happily fall back to the Meta CDN URLs, which are still in the file).
* `workflows/create-draft-release.yml` (modified): After creating a draft release, fetch the binaries from the Meta CDN and reupload them to GitHub as release assets. This is based on the contents of the DotSlash file rewritten by `create-release.yml`.
* `workflows/validate-dotslash-artifacts.yml` (new): After the release is published, all URLs referenced by the DotSlash (both Meta CDN URL and GH release asset URLs) should be valid and refer to the same artifacts. This workflow checks that this is the case.
* If this workflow fails on a published release, the release may need to be burned or a hotfix release may be necessary - as the release will stop working correctly once the Meta CDN stops serving the assets.
* This workflow will also be running continuously on `main`. If it fails on a commit in `main`, there might be a connectivity issue between the GHA runner and the Meta CDN, or there might be an issue on the Meta side.
NOTE: These changes to the release pipeline are generic and reusable; if we later add another DotSlash-based tool whose binaries need to be mirrored as GitHub release assets, we just need to add it to the `FIRST_PARTY_DOTSLASH_FILES` array.
[Internal] Mirror React Native DevTools binaries in GitHub Releases
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/52930
Test Plan:
I've added unit tests for `dotslash-utils`, `curl-utils`, and for the majority of the logic that makes up the new release scripts (`write-dotslash-release-assets-urls`, `upload-release-assets-for-dotslash`, `validate-dotslash-artifacts`).
Created a test branch and draft PR: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/53147.
Locally created a release commit, simulating the create-release GH workflow:
```
node scripts/releases/create-release-commit.js --reactNativeVersion 0.82.0-20250903-0830 --no-dry-run
```
This updated the DotSlash file in the branch: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/53147/commits/2deeb7e70376ee80b99f27bea4825789f22a89a3#diff-205a9ff6005e30be061eaa64b9cb50b15b0e909dd188e0866189e952655a3483
NOTE: I've also ensured that the `create-release-commit` script correctly updates the DotSlash file when running from a branch that already has a release commit - see screenshot:

Enabled testing the create-draft-release GH workflow in the test branch using these temporary hacks:

Workflow run: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/actions/runs/17426711373/job/49475327346
Draft release: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/untagged-c6a62a58e5baa37936e1
Draft release screenshot for posterity (since we'll likely delete the draft release after landing this):

For obvious reasons, I've avoided actually publishing the above draft release. But I have run the `validate-dotslash-artifacts` workflow on the *current* branch to ensure that the logic is correct: https://github.com/motiz88/react-native/actions/runs/17426885205/job/49475888486
Running `node scripts/releases/validate-dotslash-artifacts.js` in the release branch (without publishing the release first) fails, as expected:

This PR is all the infra needed ahead of the 0.82 ~~branch cut~~ infra freeze to support the React Native DevTools standalone shell, at least on the GitHub side. ~~Some minor infra work remains on the Meta side, plus some product/logic changes to the React Native DevTools standalone shell that I'm intending to finish in time for 0.82 (for an experimental rollout).~~ EDIT: All the planned work has landed; the feature is code-complete on `main` as well as in `0.82-stable` (apart from this infra change).
As a one-off, once we've actually published 0.82.0-rc.1, we'll want to have a human look at the published artifacts and CI workflow logs to ensure everything is in order. (I'll make sure to communicate this to the 0.82 release crew.) Afterwards, the automation added in this PR should be sufficient.

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/52473
Shared utils that were located in the root of `scripts/` are now colocated closer to their dependencies or moved to `scripts/shared/` — simplifying the root directory layout.

Adds `flow` to the remaining files that are lacking it in the `packages/rn-tester` directory.
This also adds any necessary type annotations and fixes lint warnings.

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/45180
- Simplifies the responsibilities of `scripts/releases/set-rn-version.js`.
- This no longer modifies `packages/react-native/package.json`, delegating this to `set-version`.
- Simplifies logic in `set-version`, **fixing behaviour** against deps in `packages/react-native/package.json`.
- This also acts as cleanup since D58469912 (template removal) — removing the unreferenced `update-template-package.js` util.
NOTE: This diff will be followed up by a merge of the `set-rn-version` script into `set-version`. (I had considered a rename to `version-rn-artifacts`, intentionally keeping this script separate and distinct from a future [`lerna version` + this script] setup — however the current UX and confusion with this naming would be too confusing. It can move into a util 👍🏻.)

Summary:
This change removes the need for the trigger-react-native-release.js script.
Thanks to the migration to Github Actions, we can now leverage the GHA workflow UI to trigger a Prepare Release job that creates a github tag that will spin a new release.
The pro of this approach are:
- less code to maintain: instead of a complex trigger release scripts, we only have to maintain two very straightforward scripts for the CI
- easier to trigger a release: instead of running a script, we can now just use the GH UI
The `trigger-react-native-release` script was doing the following steps:
- check that we are in the release branch ==> Already implemented in the GHA workflow
- Gets the branch name (not needed) ==> the job will automatically run on the stable branch
- Check for unsent changes (not needed) ==> we are not in a local environment
- get the gh token (not needed) ==> You need to be logged in GH and have write access to the repo
- get the version ==> provided as a parameter
- fails if the tag is already there ==> Functionality added in the workflow
- Parse and validate the version ==> Functionality added to the action prepare-release action + the JS Script
- Compute the npmTag ==> Functionality added to the action prepare-release action + the JS Script
- trigger the release workflow ==> The GH UI does that for us
## Changelog:
[Internal] - Remove the trigger-react-native-release.js
