Summary

Added experimental React.unstable_Profiler component, Pointer Events support in React DOM, and propTypes on context provider components.
Fixed multiple bugs including proper getDerivedStateFromProps calls, context propagation, forwardRef rendering, custom element attribute handling, test renderer crashes, and shallow renderer ignoring null/undefined state updates.
Changed internal event names, which may break third‑party packages that depend on React internals.
