Test Opt-in new automatically generated Typescript Types in 0.79
Summary
Request from Meta 0.79 will be released with an opt-in to try the new automatically generated TypeScript types. Meta is looking into releasing them in 0.80 or 0.81. These types might affect APIs we are using and we will need to test them to report any unexpecting breakage.

@TatianaKapos What is the switch? Seems that the action is to try enabling the switch (probably generating TypeScript types from Flow) and see what breaks. We have a mix of TypeScript types that are based on what's from core but then modified for various platform aspects.
Next step would be to dig in further and learn about how this works and how it should overlap with our types. Design work potentially required.
Also we might not be integrated far enough to start on this. @TatianaKapos to confirm.
Looks like this was part of 80.0: https://reactnative.dev/blog/2025/06/12/react-native-0.80#opt-in-strict-typescript-api, we will want to test this.
Reassigning to @anupriya13 for releases but feel free to reassign to whoever makes sense
