josephsavona 3c9fb3e457 [compiler] Optimize props spread for common cases (#34900)
As part of the new inference model we updated to (correctly) treat
destructuring spread as creating a new mutable object. This had the
unfortunate side-effect of reducing precision on destructuring of props,
though:

```js
function Component({x, ...rest}) {
  const z = rest.z;
  identity(z);
  return <Stringify x={x} z={z} />;
}
```

Memoized as the following, where we don't realize that `z` is actually
frozen:

```js
function Component(t0) {
  const $ = _c(6);
  let x;
  let z;
  if ($[0] !== t0) {
    const { x: t1, ...rest } = t0;
    x = t1;
    z = rest.z;
    identity(z);
...
```

#34341 was our first thought of how to do this (thanks @poteto for
exploring this idea!). But during review it became clear that it was a
bit more complicated than I had thought. So this PR explores a more
conservative alternative. The idea is:

* Track known sources of frozen values: component props, hook params,
and hook return values.
* Find all object spreads where the rvalue is a known frozen value.
* Look at how such objects are used, and if they are only used to access
properties (PropertyLoad/Destructure), pass to hooks, or pass to jsx
then we can be very confident the object is not mutated. We consider any
such objects to be frozen, even though technically spread creates a new
object.

See new fixtures for more examples.

josephsavona 7adecb0b5a [compiler] More fbt compatibility (#34887)
In my previous PR I fixed some cases but broke others. So, new approach.
Two phase algorithm:

* First pass is forward data flow to determine all usages of macros.
This is necessary because many of Meta's macros have variants that can
be accessed via properties, eg you can do `macro(...)` but also
`macro.variant(...)`.
* Second pass is backwards data flow to find macro invocations (JSX and
calls) and then merge their operands into the same scope as the macro
call.

Note that this required updating PromoteUsedTemporaries to avoid
promoting macro calls that have interposing instructions between their
creation and usage. Macro calls in general are pure so it should be safe
to reorder them.

In addition, we're now more precise about `<fb:plural>`, `<fbt:param>`,
`fbt.plural()` and `fbt.param()`, which don't actually require all their
arguments to be inlined. The whole point is that the plural/param value
is an arbitrary value (along with a string name). So we no longer
transitively inline the arguments, we just make sure that they don't get
inadvertently promoted to named variables.

One caveat: we actually don't do anything to treat macro functions as
non-mutating, so `fbt.plural()` and friends (function form) may still
sometimes group arguments just due to mutability inference. In a
follow-up, i'll work to infer the types of nested macro functions as
non-mutating.

josephsavona 09585613e3 [compiler] Cleanup and enable validateNoVoidUseMemo (#34882)
This is a great validation, so let's enable by default. Changes:
* Move the validation logic into ValidateUseMemo alongside the new check
that the useMemo result is used
* Update the lint description
* Make the void memo errors lint-only, they don't require us to skip
compilation (as evidenced by the fact that we've had this validation
off)

josephsavona d437a6520f [compiler] More useMemo validation (#34868)
Two additional validations for useMemo:
* Disallow reassigning to values declared outside the useMemo callback

* Disallow unused useMemo calls (part of the validateNoVoidUseMemo
feature flag, which in turn is off by default)

We should probably enable this flag though!

jbrown215 9ad379e689 [ESLint] Disallow passing effect event down when inlined as a prop (#34820)
## Summary

Fixes https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/34793.

We are allowing passing down effect events when they are inlined as a
prop.

```
<Child onClick={useEffectEvent(...)} />
```

This seems like a case that someone not familiar with `useEffectEvent`'s
purpose could fall for so this PR introduces logic to disallow its
usage.

An alternative implementation would be to modify the name and function
of `recordAllUseEffectEventFunctions` to record all `useEffectEvent`
instances either assigned to a variable or not, but this seems clearer.
Or we could also specifically disallow its usage inside JSX. Feel free
to suggest any improvements.

## How did you test this change?

- Added a new test in
`packages/eslint-plugin-react-hooks/__tests__/ESLintRulesOfHooks-test.js`.
All tests pass.

josephsavonaandHenry Q. Dineen 1b9c003568 [compiler] improve zod v3 backwards compat (#34877)
## Summary

When upgrading to `babel-plugin-react-compiler@1.0.0` in a project that
uses `zod@3` we are running into TypeScript errors like:

```
node_modules/babel-plugin-react-compiler/dist/index.d.ts:435:10 - error TS2694: Namespace '"/REDACTED/node_modules/zod/v3/external"' has no exported member 'core'.

435     }, z.core.$strip>>>;
             ~~~~
```

This problem seems to be related to
d6eb735938, which introduced zod v3/v4
compatibility. Since `zod` is bundled into the compiler source this does
not cause runtime issues and only manifests as TypeScript errors. My
proposed solution is this PR is to use zod's [subpath versioning
strategy](https://zod.dev/v4/versioning?id=versioning-in-zod-4) which
allows you to support v3 and v4 APIs on both major versions.

Changes in this PR include:

- Updated `zod` import paths to `zod/v4`
- Bumped min `zod` version to `^3.25.0` for zod which guarantees the
`zod/v4` subpath is available.
- Updated `zod-validation-error` import paths to
`zod-validation-error/v4`
- Bumped min `zod-validation-error ` version to `^3.5.0`
- Updated `externals` tsup configuration where appropriate.

Once the compiler drops zod v3 support we could optionally remove the
`/v4` subpath from the imports.

## How did you test this change?

Not totally sure the best way to test. I ran `NODE_ENV=production yarn
workspace babel-plugin-react-compiler run build --dts` and diffed the
`dist/` folder between my change and `v1.0.0` and it looks correct. We
have a `patch-package` patch to workaround this for now and it works as
expected.

josephsavona c6b61aab92 [compiler] Fix fbt for the ∞th time (#34865)
We now do a single pass over the HIR, building up two data structures:
* One tracks values that are known macro tags or macro calls.
* One tracks operands of macro-related instructions so that we can later
group them.

After building up these data structures, we do a pass over the latter
structure. For each macro call instruction, we recursively traverse its
operands to ensure they're in the same scope. Thus, something like
`fbt('hello' + fbt.param(foo(), "..."))` will correctly merge the fbt
call, the `+` binary expression, the `fbt.param()` call, and `foo()`
into a single scope.

poteto 9898943ab4 Revert [eprh] Remove hermes-parser (#34747)
Adds back HermesParser to eslint-plugin-react-hooks. There are still
[external users of
Flow](https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/34719#issuecomment-3368137743)
using the plugin, so we shouldn't break the plugin for them. However, we
still have the problem of double parsing: once from eslint (which we
discard) and then another via babel/hermes parser.

In the long run we should investigate a translation layer from estree to
babel (or alternatively, update the compiler to take estree as input).
But for now, I am reverting the PR.

This does mean that [Sandpack in
react.dev](https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/blob/11cb6b591571caf5fa2a192117b6a6445c3f2027/src/components/MDX/Sandpack/runESLint.tsx#L31)
cannot update to the latest eprh as HermesParser does not appear to be
able to be run in a browser. I discovered this while trying to update
eprh on react.dev last week, but didn't investigate deeply. I'll need to
double check that again to find out more.

Partial redo of #34710. The changes there tried to use `z.function(args,

has completely changed. Instead, I've updated to just use `z.any()`
where we expect a function, and manually validate that it's a function
before we call the value. We already have validation of the return type
(also using Zod).

This rule was a leftover from a while ago and doesn't actually lint
anything useful. Specifically, you get a lint error if you try to opt
out a component that isn't already bailing out. If there's a bailout the
compiler already safely skips over it, so adding `'use no memo'` there
is unnecessary.

poteto 1332041a08 [eprh] Fix recommended config for flat config compatibility (#34700)
Previously, the `recommended` config used the legacy ESLint format
(plugins as an array of strings). This causes errors when used with
ESLint v9's `defineConfig()` helper. This was following [eslint's own
docs](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/extend/plugins#backwards-compatibility-for-legacy-configs):

> With this approach, both configuration systems recognize
"recommended". The old config system uses the recommended key while the
current config system uses the flat/recommended key. The defineConfig()
helper first looks at the recommended key, and if that is not in the
correct format, it looks for the flat/recommended key. This allows you
an upgrade path if you’d later like to rename flat/recommended to
recommended when you no longer need to support the old config system.

However,
[`isLegacyConfig()`](https://github.com/eslint/rewrite/blob/main/packages/config-helpers/src/define-config.js#L73-L81)
(also see
[`eslintrcKeys`](https://github.com/eslint/rewrite/blob/main/packages/config-helpers/src/define-config.js#L24-L35))
function doesn't check for the `plugins` key, so our config was
incorrectly treated as flat config despite being in legacy format.

This PR fixes the issue, along with a few other fixes combined:

1. Convert `recommended` to flat config format
2. Separate basic rules (exhaustive-deps, rules-of-hooks) from compiler
rules
3. Add `recommended-latest-legacy` config for non-flat config users who
want all recommended rules (including compiler rules)
4. Adding more types for the exported config

Our shipped presets in 6.x.x will essentially be:
- `recommended-legacy`: legacy (non-flat), with basic rules only
- `recommended-latest-legacy`: legacy (non-flat), all rules (basic +
compiler)
- `flat/recommended`: flat, basic rules only (now the same as
recommended, but to avoid making a breaking change we'll just keep it
around in 6.x.x)
- `recommended-latest`: flat, all rules (basic + compiler)
- `recommended`: flat, basic rules only

In the next breaking release 7.x.x, we will collapse down the presets
into three:

- `recommended-legacy`: all recommended rules
- `recommended`: all recommended rules
- `recommended-experimental`: all recommended rules + new bleeding edge
experimental rules

josephsavona fc4307aeb9 [compiler] @enablePreserveExistingMemoizationGuarantees on by default (#34689)
This enables `@enablePreserveExistingMemoizationGuarantees` by default.
As of the previous PR (#34503), this mode now enables the following
behaviors:

- Treating variables referenced within a `useMemo()` or `useCallback()`
as "frozen" (immutable) as of the start of the call. Ie, the compiler
will assume that the values you reference are not mutated by the body of
the useMemo, not are they mutated later. Directly modifying them (eg
`var.property = true`) will be an error.
- Similarly, the results of the useMemo/useCallback are treated as
frozen (immutable) after the call.

These two rules match the behavior for other hooks: this means that
developers will see similar behavior to swapping out `useMemo()` for a
custom `useMyMemo()` wrapper/alias.

Additionally, as of #34503 the compiler uses information from the manual
dependencies to know which variables are non-nullable. Even if a useMemo
block conditionally accesses a nested property — `if (cond) { log(x.y.z)
}` — where the compiler would not usually know that `x` is non-nullable,
if the user specifies `x.y.z` as a manual dependency then the compiler
knows that `x` and `x.y` are non-nullable and can infer a more precise
dependency.

Finally, this mode also ensures that we always memoize function calls
that return primitives. See #34343 for more details.

For now, I've explicitly opted out of this feature in all test fixtures
where the behavior changed.

josephsavona e7a3c5cffe [compiler] enablePreserveMemo treats manual deps as non-nullable (#34503)
The `@enablePreserveExistingMemoizationGuarantees` mode can still fail
to preserve manual memoization due to mismtached dependencies.
Specifically, where the user's dependencies are more precise than the
compiler infers bc the compiler is being conservative about what might
be nullable. In this mode though we're intentionally using information
from the manual memoization and can also rely on the deps as a signal
for what's non-nullable.

The idea of the PR is that we treat manual memo deps just like other
inferred-as-non-nullable objects during PropagateScopeDeps. We're
careful to not treat the full path as non-nullable, only up to the last
property index. So `x.y.z` as a manual dep treats `x` and `x.y` as
non-nullable, allowing us to preserve a conditional dependency on
`x.y.z`.

Optionals within manual dependencies are a bit trickier and aren't
handled yet, but hopefully that's less common and something we can
improve in a follow-up. Not handling them just means that developers may
hit false positives on validating existing memoization if they use
optional chains in manual dependencies.

jbrown215 34ecbfddcf [lint] Enable custom hooks configuration for useEffectEvent calling rules (#34497)
We need to be able to specify additional effect hooks for the
RulesOfHooks lint rule
in order to allow useEffectEvent to be called by custom effects.
ExhaustiveDeps
does this with a regex suppplied to the rule, but that regex is not
accessible from
other rules.

This diff introduces a `react-hooks` entry you can put in the eslint
settings that
allows you to specify custom effect hooks and share them across all
rules.

This works like:
```
{
  settings: {
    'react-hooks': {
      additionalEffectHooks: string,
    },
  },
}
```

The next diff allows useEffect to read from the same configuration.

josephsavona 8669b9eb31 [compiler] Add support for commonjs (#34589)
We previously always generated import statements for any modules that
had to be required, notably the `import {c} from
'react/compiler-runtime'` for the memo cache function. However, this
obviously doesn't work when the source is using commonjs. Now we check
the sourceType of the module and generate require() statements if the
source type is 'script'.

I initially explored using
https://babeljs.io/docs/babel-helper-module-imports, but the API design
was unfortunately not flexible enough for our use-case. Specifically,
our pipeline is as follows:
* Compile individual functions. Generate candidate imports,
pre-allocating the local names for those imports.
* If the file is compiled successfully, actually add the imports to the
program.

Ie we need to pre-allocate identifier names for the imports before we
add them to the program — but that isn't supported by
babel-helper-module-imports. So instead we generate our own require()
calls if the sourceType is script.

## Summary

<!--
Explain the **motivation** for making this change. What existing problem
does the pull request solve?
--> The React Compiler rejected a default parameter that contains a
TSInstantiationExpression with the todo message that the expression
cannot be safely reordered. This change teaches the reorder check in
BuildHIR.ts to treat TSInstantiationExpression as reorderable. This is
safe because TypeScript instantiation only affects types and is erased
at runtime, so it has no side effects and does not change semantics.

## How did you test this change?

```
Set-Content testfilter.txt 'ts-instantiation-default-param'

yarn test --filter --update

yarn test --filter
```

josephsavona 4ad8af040f [compiler] Don't show hint about ref-like naming if we infer another type (#34521)
Some components accept a union of a ref callback function or ref object.
In this case we may infer the type as a function due to the presence of
invoking the ref callback function. In that case, we currently report a
"Hint: name `fooRef` as "ref" or with a "-Ref" suffix..." even though
the variable is already named appropriately — the problem is that we
inferred a non-ref type. So here we check the type and don't report this
hint if we inferred another type.

josephsavona 12f945d52f [compiler] Option to treat "set-" prefixed callees as setState functions (#34505)
Calling setState functions during render can lead to extraneous renders
or even infinite loops. We also have runtime detection for loops, but
static detection is obviously even better.

This PR adds an option to infer identifers as setState functions if both
the following conditions are met:
- The identifier is named starting with "set"
- The identifier is used as the callee of a call expression

By inferring values as SetState type, this allows our existing
ValidateNoSetStateInRender rule to flag calls during render, disallowing
examples like the following:

```js
function Component({setParentState}) {
  setParentState(...);
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Error: Cannot call setState in render
}
```

josephsavona 6e1b4fd064 [compiler] More flexible/helpful lazy ref initialization (#34449)
Two small QoL improvements inspired by feedback:
* `if (ref.current === undefined) { ref.current = ... }` is now allowed.
* `if (!ref.current) { ref.current = ... }` is still disallowed, but we
emit an extra hint suggesting the `if (!ref.current == null)` pattern.

I was on the fence about the latter. We got feedback asking to allow `if
(!ref.current)` but if your ref stores a boolean value then this would
allow reading the ref in render. The unary form is also less precise in
general due to sketchy truthiness conversions. I figured a hint is a
good compromise.

poteto 23223adcc0 [compiler] Allow setStates in use{Layout,Insertion}Effect where the set value is derived from a ref (#34462)
@stipsan found this issue where the compiler would bailout on the
`useLayoutEffect` examples in the React docs. While setState in an
effect is typically an anti-pattern due to the fact that it hurts
performance through cascading renders, the one scenario where it _is_
allowed is if the value being set flows from a ref.

josephsavona a34d0e051d [compiler] Fix false positive hook return mutation error (#34424)
This was fun. We previously added the MaybeAlias effect in #33984 in
order to describe the semantic that an unknown function call _may_ alias
its return value in its result, but that we don't know this for sure. We
record mutations through MaybeAlias edges when walking backward in the
data flow graph, but downgrade them to conditional mutations. See the
original PR for full context.

That change was sufficient for the original case like

```js
const frozen = useContext();
useEffect(() => {
  frozen.method().property = true;
}, [...]);
```

But it wasn't sufficient for cases where the aliasing occured between
operands:

```js
const dispatch = useDispatch();
<div onClick={(e) => {
  dispatch(...e.target.value)
  e.target.value = ...;
}} />
```

Here we would record a `Capture dispatch <- e.target` effect. Then
during processing of the `event.target.value = ...` assignment we'd
eventually _forward_ from `event` to `dispatch` (along a MaybeAlias
edge). But in #33984 I missed that this forward walk also has to
downgrade to conditional.

In addition to that change, we also have to be a bit more precise about
which set of effects we create for alias/capture/maybe-alias. The new
logic is a bit clearer, I think:

* If the value is frozen, it's an ImmutableCapture edge
* If the values are mutable, it's a Capture
* If it's a context->context, context->mutable, or mutable->context,
count it as MaybeAlias.

josephsavona 2d3a7f8992 [compiler] Improve name hints for outlined functions (#34434)
The previous PR added name hints for anonymous functions, but didn't
handle the case of outlined functions. Here we do some cleanup around
function `id` and name hints:
* Make `HIRFunction.id` a ValidatedIdentifierName, which involved some
cleanup of the validation helpers
* Add `HIRFunction.nameHint: string` as a place to store the generated
name hints which are not valid identifiers
* Update Codegen to always use the `id` as the actual function name, and
only use nameHint as part of generating the object+property wrapper for
debug purposes.

This ensures we don't conflate synthesized hints with real function
names. Then, we also update OutlineFunctions to use the function name
_or_ the nameHint as the input to generating a unique identifier. This
isn't quite as nice as the object form since we lose our formatting, but
it's a simple step that gives more context to the developer than `_temp`
does.

Switching to output the object+property lookup form for outlined
functions is a bit more involved, let's do that in a follow-up.

mofeiZandJoe Savona 0a576d78af [compiler] Fix false positive memo validation (alternative) (#34319)
Alternative to #34276

---
(Summary taken from @josephsavona 's #34276)
Partial fix for #34262. Consider this example:

```js
function useInputValue(input) {
  const object = React.useMemo(() => {
    const {value} = transform(input);
    return {value};
  }, [input]);
  return object;
}
```

React Compiler breaks this code into two reactive scopes:
* One for `transform(input)`
* One for `{value}`

When we run ValidatePreserveExistingMemo, we see that the scope for
`{value}` has the dependency `value`, whereas the original memoization
had the dependency `input`, and throw an error that the dependencies
didn't match.

In other words, we're flagging the fact that memoized _better than the
user_ as a problem. The more complete solution would be to validate that
there is a subgraph of reactive scopes with a single input and output
node, where the input node has the same dependencies as the original
useMemo, and the output has the same outputs. That is true in this case,
with the subgraph being the two consecutive scopes mentioned above.

But that's complicated. As a shortcut, this PR checks for any
dependencies that are defined after the start of the original useMemo.
If we find one, we know that it's a case where we were able to memoize
more precisely than the original, and we don't report an error on the
dependency. We still check that the original _output_ value is able to
be memoized, though. So if the scope of `object` were extended, eg with
a call to `mutate(object)`, then we'd still correctly report an error
that we couldn't preserve memoization.

josephsavona 3e6538c117 [compiler] Option to infer names for anonymous functions (#34410)
Adds a `@enableNameAnonymousFunctions` feature to infer helpful names
for anonymous functions within components and hooks. The logic is
inspired by a custom Next.js transform, flagged to us by @eps1lon, that
does something similar. Implementing this transform within React
Compiler means that all React (Compiler) users can benefit from more
helpful names when debugging.

The idea builds on the fact that JS engines try to infer helpful names
for anonymous functions (in stack traces) when those functions are
accessed through an object property lookup:

```js
({'a[xyz]': () => {
  throw new Error('hello!')
} }['a[xyz]'])()

// Stack trace:
Uncaught Error: hello!
    at a[xyz] (<anonymous>:1:26) // <-- note the name here
    at <anonymous>:1:60
```

The new NameAnonymousFunctions transform is gated by the above flag,
which is off by default. It attemps to infer names for functions as
follows:

First, determine a "local" name:
* Assigning a function to a named variable uses the variable name.
`const f = () => {}` gets the name "f".
* Passing the function as an argument to a function gets the name of the
function, ie `foo(() => ...)` get the name "foo()", `foo.bar(() => ...)`
gets the name "foo.bar()". Note the parenthesis to help understand that
it was part of a call.
* Passing the function to a known hook uses the name of the hook,
`useEffect(() => ...)` uses "useEffect()".
* Passing the function as a JSX prop uses the element and attr name, eg
`<div onClick={() => ...}` uses "<div>.onClick".

Second, the local name is combined with the name of the outer
component/hook, so the final names will be strings like `Component[f]`
or `useMyHook[useEffect()]`.

poteto 6731b55334 [compiler] Derive ErrorSeverity from ErrorCategory (#34401)
With #34176 we now have granular lint rules created for each compiler
ErrorCategory. However, we had remnants of our old error severities
still in use which makes reporting errors quite clunky. Previously you
would need to specify both a category and severity which often ended up
being the same.

This PR moves severity definition into our rules which are generated
from our categories. For now I decided to defer "upgrading" categories
from a simple string to a sum type since we are only using severities to
map errors to eslint severity.

I tried turning on `@enablePreserveExistingMemoizationGuarantees` by

* We emit freeze calls for StartMemoize deps but these had
ValueReason.Other so the message wasn't great. We now treat these like
other hook arguments.
* PruneNonEscapingScopes was being too aggressive in this mode and
memoizing even loads of globals. Switching to
MemoizationLevel.Conditional ensures we build a graph that connects
through to primitive-returning function calls, but doesn't unnecessarily
force memoization otherwise.

used, for example `foo() + 1` or `object[getIndex()]`, and by default we
do not currently memoize computation that produces a primitive. The
reasoning behind this is that the compiler is primarily focused on
stopping cascading updates — it's fine to recompute a primitive since we
can cheaply compare that primitive and avoid unnecessary downstream
recomputation. But we've gotten a lot of feedback that people find this
surprising, and that sometimes the computation can be expensive enough
that it should be memoized.

This PR changes `@enablePreserveExistingMemoizationGuarantees` mode to
ensure that primitive-returning functions get memoized. Other modes will
not memoize these functions. Separately from this we are considering
enabling this mode by default.

josephsavona 7f822e365f [compiler] Fix for scopes with unreachable fallthroughs (#34335)
Fixes #34108. If a scope ends with with a conditional where some/all
branches exit via labeled break, we currently compile in a way that
works but bypasses memoization. We end up with a shape like

```js
let t0;
label: {
 if (changed) {
   ...
   if (cond) {
     t0 = ...;
     break label;
   }
   // we don't save the output if the break happens!
   t0 = ...;
   $[0] = t0;
 } else {
   t0 = $[0];
}
```

The fix here is to update AlignReactiveScopesToBlockScopes to take
account of breaks that don't go to the natural fallthrough. In this
case, we take any active scopes and extend them to start at least as
early as the label, and extend at least to the label fallthrough. Thus
we produce the correct:

```js
let t0;
if (changed) {
  label: {
    ...
    if (cond) {
      t0 = ...;
      break label;
    }
    t0 = ...;
  }
  // now the break jumps here, and we cache the value
  $[0] = t0;
} else {
  t0 = $[0];
}
```

josephsavona 7838606b0c [compiler] Detect known incompatible libraries (#34027)
A few libraries are known to be incompatible with memoization, whether
manually via `useMemo()` or via React Compiler. This puts us in a tricky
situation. On the one hand, we understand that these libraries were
developed prior to our documenting the [Rules of
React](https://react.dev/reference/rules), and their designs were the
result of trying to deliver a great experience for their users and
balance multiple priorities around DX, performance, etc. At the same
time, using these libraries with memoization — and in particular with
automatic memoization via React Compiler — can break apps by causing the
components using these APIs not to update. Concretely, the APIs have in
common that they return a function which returns different values over
time, but where the function itself does not change. Memoizing the
result on the identity of the function will mean that the value never
changes. Developers reasonable interpret this as "React Compiler broke
my code".

Of course, the best solution is to work with developers of these
libraries to address the root cause, and we're doing that. We've
previously discussed this situation with both of the respective
libraries:
* React Hook Form:
https://github.com/react-hook-form/react-hook-form/issues/11910#issuecomment-2135608761
* TanStack Table:
https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/33057#issuecomment-2840600158
and https://github.com/TanStack/table/issues/5567

In the meantime we need to make sure that React Compiler can work out of
the box as much as possible. This means teaching it about popular
libraries that cannot be memoized. We also can't silently skip
compilation, as this confuses users, so we need these error messages to
be visible to users. To that end, this PR adds:

* A flag to mark functions/hooks as incompatible
* Validation against use of such functions
* A default type provider to provide declarations for two
known-incompatible libraries

Note that Mobx is also incompatible, but the `observable()` function is
called outside of the component itself, so the compiler cannot currently
detect it. We may add validation for such APIs in the future.

Again, we really empathize with the developers of these libraries. We've
tried to word the error message non-judgementally, because we get that
it's hard! We're open to feedback about the error message, please let us
know.

josephsavona 4a8d929631 [compiler] Show a ref name hint when assigning to non-ref in a callback (#34298)
In #34125 I added a hint where if you assign to the .current property of
a frozen object, we suggest naming the variable as `ref` or `-Ref`.
However, the tracking for mutations that assign to .current specifically
wasn't propagated past function expression boundaries, which meant that
the hint only showed up if you mutated the ref in the main body of the
component/hook. That's less likely to happen since most folks know not
to access refs in render. What's more likely is that you'll (correctly)
assign a ref in an effect or callback, but the compiler will throw an
error. By showing a hint in this case we can help people understand the
naming pattern.
