I need to start clarifying where things are really actually Fibers and
where they're not since I'm adding Server Components as a separate type
of component instance which is not backed by a Fiber.
Nothing in the front end should really know anything about what kind of
renderer implementation we're inspecting and indeed it's already not
always a "Fiber" in the legacy renderer.
We typically refer to this as a "Component Instance" but the front end
currently refers to it as an Element as it historically grew from the
browser DevTools Elements tab.
I also moved the renderer.js implementation into the `backend/fiber`
folder. These are at the same level as `backend/legacy`. This clarifies
that anything outside of this folder ideally shouldn't refer to a
"Fiber".
console.js and profilingHooks.js unfortunately use Fibers a lot which
needs further refactoring. The profiler frontend also uses the term
alot.
## Summary
We have a case:
1. Open components tab
2. Close Chrome / Firefox devtools window completely
3. Reopen browser devtools panel
4. Open components tab
Currently, in version 4.27.6, we cannot load the components tree.
This PR contains two changes:
- non-functional refactoring in
`react-devtools-shared/src/devtools/store.js`: removed some redundant
type castings.
- fixed backend manager logic (introduced in
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/26615) to activate already
registered backends. Looks like frontend of devtools also depends on
`renderer-attached` event, without it component tree won't load.
## How did you test this change?
This fixes the case mentioned prior. Currently in 4.27.6 version it is
not working, we need to refresh the page to make it work.
I've tested this in several environments: chrome, firefox, standalone
with RN application.
In the extension, currently we do the following:
1. check whether there's at least one React renderer on the page
2. if yes, load the backend to the page
3. initialize the backend
To support multiple versions of backends, we are changing it to:
1. check the versions of React renders on the page
2. load corresponding React DevTools backends that are shipped with the
extension; if they are not contained (usually prod builds of
prereleases), show a UI to allow users to load them from UI
3. initialize each of the backends
To enable this workflow, a backend will ignore React renderers that does
not match its version
This PR adds a new file "backendManager" in the extension for this
purpose.

I've tested it on Chrome, Edge and Firefox extensions
## Summary
- #26234 is reverted and replaced with a better approach
- introduce a new global devtools variable to decouple the global hook's
dependency on backend/console.js, and add it to react-devtools-inline
and react-devtools-standalone
With this PR, I want to introduce a new principle to hook.js: we should
always be alert when editing this file and avoid importing from other
files.
In the past, we try to inline a lot of the implementation because we use
`.toString()` to inject this function from the extension (we still have
some old comments left). Although it is no longer inlined that way, it
has became now more important to keep it clean as it is a de facto
global API people are using (9.9K files contains it on Github search as
of today).
**File size change for extension:**
Before:
379K installHook.js
After:
21K installHook.js
363K renderer.js
## Summary
When looking into the compiled code of `installHook.js` of the extension
build, I noticed that it actually includes the large `attach` function
(from renderer.js). I don't think it was expected.
This is because `hook.js` imports from `backend/console.js` which
imports from `backend/renderer.js` for `getInternalReactConstants`
A straightforward way is to extract function
`getInternalReactConstants`. However, I think it's more simplified to
just merge these two files and save the 361K renderer.js from the
extension build since we have always been loading this code anyways.
I changed the execution check from `__REACT_DEVTOOLS_ATTACH__ ` to the
session storage.
## How did you test this change?
Everything works normal in my local build.
