fix(mobile): update Expo 58 to restore widgets and Live Activities

[juliusmarminge]

Build 97's widgets and Live Activities cannot render because Expo UI calls React.memo, which Expo Widgets 58.0.9 does not provide in its isolated runtime. The SDK's recommended package versions have moved ahead as well.

Upgrade Expo to 58.0.2 and its recommended package set, including Expo UI and Expo Widgets 58.0.11. This adopts the upstream runtime fix from expo/expo#50834, first released in Expo Widgets 58.0.10, and removes our duplicate memo patch. Carry forward the remaining audio, blur, sharing, and widget patches to their new package versions. Exclude the repo's intentionally selected TypeScript compiler from Expo's version recommendation check.

Validation:

• expo install --check passes. React Native and React versions remain at the SDK 58 versions already on main.
• Mobile typecheck and 72 focused widget/registration tests pass.
• Both iOS and Android widget runtime bundles build and initialize. The installed React stub matches the published upstream package exactly.
• Rebuilt and installed the iOS native client on an iOS 26.5 simulator. The usage widget renders; Live Activity creation and updates work with staleDate, and the updated content renders on the Lock Screen.

The simulator verification uses fixture data through a temporary diagnostic screen, exercising the real native factories and extension rendering. It bypasses the normal thread-start and relay-registration path; physical-device relay/APNs delivery remains unverified. The screen is not included in the change.

A new native build is required. OTA updates cannot replace the extension runtime. Expo displays the red error box only in DEBUG builds; TestFlight renders the same error node as an empty view.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 5f8beb9

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused mobile dependency-alignment fix that moves existing widget and Live Activity paths onto the upstream Expo 58 runtime fix, with accompanying lockfile and patch-registration updates. It adds no product-default change, schema or infrastructure change, or static-analysis suppression.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Live Activity environment data now includes rendering-mode and Liquid Glass availability fields. Banner and Dynamic Island layouts are evaluated in their rendered views. Added tests exercise bundled widget output, and the layout-registry script now compares real paths.

Changes

Live Activity rendering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Live Activity environment data patches/expo-widgets@58.0.9.patch	The environment type adds optional rendering-mode and Liquid Glass fields. iOS supplies the rendering mode and sets Liquid Glass availability to true on iOS 26 or later.
Per-view layout evaluation patches/expo-widgets@58.0.9.patch	Banner and Dynamic Island views build layout nodes using their own environments. WidgetLiveActivity passes the activity context and section name instead of parent-built nodes.
Bundled widget rendering checks patches/expo-widgets@58.0.9.patch, scripts/mobile-widget-runtime.test.ts	The React stub exports an identity memo function. The tests build and run the iOS bundle, then check Live Activity and subscription-usage output.

Layout registry entry-point check

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Real-path entry-point comparison patches/expo-widgets@58.0.9.patch	The layout-registry script compares the real paths of the invoked script and __filename before running main.
