Subject: [PATCH] Add pointerEvents prop to TextProps (#56950)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Summary:

Add `pointerEvents` to `TextProps` in the Flow source. This prop is supported at the native layer — `BaseParagraphProps` (the C++ props struct for Text/Paragraph) extends `ViewProps`, which includes `pointerEvents`. The old hand-written TypeScript types (`Text.d.ts`) already declared this prop, but the Flow source did not, causing a gap in the auto-generated strict API types (`types_generated`).

Changelog:
[General][Fixed] - **Strict TypeScript API**: Add missing `pointerEvents` prop to `Text` component
