May 2025 performance highlights across facebook/relay, facebook/metro, and facebook/react-native. Delivered stronger type safety, test reliability, and groundwork for Flow's Natural Inference rollout. Key features delivered include explicit type annotations in tests (Relay), groundwork for Flow type inference with as const annotations and rollout prep across primitive literals (Metro), and readiness work for Flow Natural Inference in JavaScript/React Native with manual annotations, as const usage, error suppression, and stricter checks. Major bugs fixed include compatibility-driven rollbacks to as const annotations in Metro to restore bundler stability and targeted backouts in React Native to preserve trunk stability during rollout. Overall impact: reduced runtime risk, easier maintainability, and a clearer path for safer refactors, while aligning code across repos for future flow-based inferences.
