## Summary Add backporting infrastructure for cherry-picking changes across release branches. This includes: - **`.ai/commands/backport.md`** — Shared AI-tool-agnostic backport instructions (works with Claude Code, Copilot, or any AI assistant) - **`.claude/commands/backport.md`** — Claude Code `/backport` slash command wrapper - **`.github/workflows/microsoft-backport.yml`** — GitHub Actions workflow triggered by `/backport <branch>` comments on PRs, with auto-update support when source PR changes - **`docsite/docs/contributing/backporting.md`** — Documentation page covering all backport methods ### Features - Multi-branch support: `/backport 0.81-stable 0.82-stable` - Works on both open and merged PRs - Auto-updates backport PRs when source PR gets new commits - GitHub App authentication via `actions/create-github-app-token@v2` - Handles conflicts gracefully with manual instructions ## Test plan - [ ] Verify docsite builds: `cd docsite && yarn start` — check "Backporting" page under Contributing - [ ] Test `/backport` slash command locally in Claude Code - [ ] Merge a test PR, comment `/backport 0.81-stable`, verify workflow creates backport PR 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…selection, CVEs) (#2876) ## Summary Backport of 10 commits from `main` to `0.81-stable`: - **fix(spm):** fix pre-existing macOS porting bugs (#2869) - **fix(transforms):** enable transforms on new arch and fix hit testing on both arches (#2866) - **chore(deps-dev):** bump undici from 5.29.0 to 6.24.0 (#2871) - **fix(fabric):** colors not respecting dark mode appearance, implement platform color (#2867) - **fix:** adjust content inset behavior for macOS (#2806) - **fix:** reduce dependency CVE overrides and refresh vulnerable transitive deps (#2874) - **feat(fabric, text):** support native text selection when selectable={true} (#2864) - **fix:** macOS ScrollView resize and content inset behavior (#2732) - **docs:** add backporting guide and automation (#2863) - **fix(fabric, textinput):** support `enableFocusRing` ### Conflict resolutions - `RCTUIView.h/m` → On 0.81-stable, `RCTUIView` lives in `React/Base/RCTUIKit.h` and `React/Base/macOS/RCTUIKit.m` (the RCTUIKit module refactor hasn't landed on 0.81). Transform changes were manually applied to these files. - `RCTUIKitCompat.h/m` → `NSColor (RCTAppearanceResolving)` category was added to `RCTUIKit.h/m` instead. - Lockfile conflicts resolved by accepting incoming CVE fixes. ## Test Plan - Same as the original PRs - Verify transforms render correctly on macOS (old + new arch) - Verify dark mode color resolution works in Fabric - Verify ScrollView resize and content inset behavior - Verify text selection with selectable={true} - Verify enableFocusRing on TextInput in Fabric 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Signed-off-by: dependabot[bot] <support@github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: dependabot[bot] <49699333+dependabot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: eadron <eadron@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Kyle Essenmacher <15271436+kessenma@users.noreply.github.com>
