The transform worker update improves Flow erasure support and React Compiler transforms, with a slight performance improvement.
Adds experimental granular bundle splitting for production exports with async routes.
Fixes and other changes 7
Babel transforms use the bundle's mode instead of the process BABEL_ENV.
Noxcturnal diagnostic filenames resolve correctly when Metro runs from a workspace root.
Noxcturnal plugins resolve project-relative filenames against the app root while preserving project-relative module IDs.
Fixes edge cases resolving root dependencies for expo-router, react-native/setup-env, and expo/build/winter.
Stack frames inside node_modules are no longer all collapsed, so errors point to where they were thrown.
Bundled, external, and inline stylesheet order is preserved across static and server rendering.
Keeps EXPO_ROUTER_IMPORT_MODE synchronous in server bundles when async routes are enabled, matching babel-preset-expo.
