" summary

Describes replacing the async JSON bridge with a JSI host objects model so JavaScript can call native functions without serialization, adds a new Fabric UI manager to allow synchronous UI work for smooth scrolling and embedded views, and upgrades modules into TurboModules plus Yoga for layout. Cites practical outcomes: moving WebView out of core doubles community activity and Marketplace hits 800 million MAU, showing the architecture scales and reduces cross-realm overhead.
