feat: create @launchdarkly/js-contract-test-utils package (#1163)

**Requirements**

- [ ] I have added test coverage for new or changed functionality
- [x] I have followed the repository's [pull request submission
guidelines](../blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-pull-requests)
- [x] I have validated my changes against all supported platform
versions

- [SDK-2008](https://launchdarkly.atlassian.net/browse/SDK-2008)
- Reference branch: `devin/SDK-1866-1772645970`

**Describe the solution you've provided**

Creates a new **private** package `@launchdarkly/js-contract-test-utils`
at `packages/tooling/contract-test-utils/` that consolidates duplicated
contract test infrastructure shared across client-side SDKs, and
migrates browser, electron, react-native, and React SDK contract tests
to consume it.

### Package exports

| Import Path | Contents | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| `.` | Universal types (`CommandParams`, `ConfigParams`), `makeLogger`,
`ClientPool` | Source `.ts` |
| `./client` | Re-exports universal + client-side `TestHook`
(fetch-based) | Source `.ts` |

All types import `LDContext`/`LDEvaluationReason`/`LDLogger` from
`@launchdarkly/js-client-sdk-common` for cross-SDK compatibility.

### Migrations included

For each of **browser**, **electron**, **react-native**, and **React**
contract test entities:
- Deleted local `CommandParams.ts`, `ConfigParams.ts`, `makeLogger.ts`,
`TestHook.ts`
- Updated consuming files (`ClientEntity.ts`, `ClientFactory.ts`,
`TestHarnessWebSocket.ts`, `ClientRoot.tsx` as applicable) to import
from `@launchdarkly/js-contract-test-utils/client`
- Added `"@launchdarkly/js-contract-test-utils": "workspace:^"`
dependency

### Review feedback addressed

- Converted `CommandType`, `ValueType`, `HookStage` from TypeScript
`enum` to `as const` objects with derived union types per repo
guidelines
- Fixed browser entity dependency versions from `"*"` to `"workspace:^"`
- Consolidated duplicate `HookStage` definition (was in both
`CommandParams.ts` and `ConfigParams.ts`, now only in
`CommandParams.ts`)
- Removed `.js` extensions from shared package internal imports for
Next.js Turbopack compatibility (React SDK uses `next build` with
Turbopack, which resolves from `.ts` source and can't find `.js`
targets)
- Enabled `unstable_enablePackageExports` in react-native entity's
`metro.config.js` so Metro can resolve the `./client` subpath export
- Fixed `ClientPool.nextId()` off-by-one: now returns current counter
value before incrementing, so the first ID is `"0"` (matching existing
consumer patterns)
- Simplified `ClientPool.add()` API: now calls `nextId()` internally and
returns the assigned ID (`add(client: T): string` instead of requiring
the caller to pass an ID)

**Human review checklist**

- [ ] **README example is stale**:
`packages/tooling/contract-test-utils/README.md` shows old `ClientPool`
usage (`pool.nextId()` then `pool.add(id, entity)`) — should be updated
to use the new `pool.add(entity)` API that returns the ID
- [ ] **`as const` type compatibility**: Verify `CommandType`,
`ValueType`, and `HookStage` union types derived from `as const` objects
are assignable everywhere the old `enum`/`type` union was used
(especially in switch statements and type narrowing)
- [ ] **Metro `unstable_enablePackageExports`**: Confirm this doesn't
cause unexpected resolution changes for other dependencies in the
react-native entity

**Items for reviewer attention**

1. **No unit tests** — This is test infrastructure itself (test coverage
checkbox unchecked). Confirm whether tests are expected at this stage.
2. **Source-only resolution** — All exports resolve to `.ts` source
files (no compiled `dist/`). Internal imports use extensionless paths
for compatibility with both bundlers (Vite, esbuild, Metro) and Next.js
Turbopack. If a future consumer requires compiled ESM output, `.js`
extensions would need to be added back (per Node.js ESM spec), but
current consumers work correctly with source-only resolution.
3. **Server-side migration not included** — Server-node and Shopify
Oxygen contract tests are not migrated in this PR (deferred to follow-up
per earlier discussion). The `ClientPool` utility is exported but not
yet consumed.
4. **Metro bundler configuration** — React Native's Metro bundler
doesn't support `package.json` `exports` field by default. Enabled
`unstable_enablePackageExports` in the react-native entity's
`metro.config.js` to resolve
`@launchdarkly/js-contract-test-utils/client`. This flag is widely
supported in Metro 0.81+ but remains marked "unstable" - please verify
it doesn't cause unexpected issues with other package resolutions.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

- Considered using plain string union types (`type CommandType =
'evaluate' | 'evaluateAll' | ...`) but this would break the
`CommandType.EvaluateFlag` access pattern used throughout all consumer
files. The `as const` object pattern preserves both the named access and
the string union type.
- Considered importing from SDK-specific packages (e.g.
`@launchdarkly/electron-client-sdk`) but this would create circular
dependencies. Using `@launchdarkly/js-client-sdk-common` keeps the
shared package independent.
- Considered keeping `.js` extensions in imports (per Node.js ESM spec)
but Turbopack cannot resolve these when consuming TypeScript source.
Extensionless imports work for all current consumers (bundlers +
Turbopack) and are acceptable since the package is private and
source-only.
- Considered adding fallback `main` field to package.json for Metro
compatibility, but enabling `unstable_enablePackageExports` is the
recommended approach and cleaner long-term.

**Additional context**

- All 4 migrated SDK contract tests compile and pass lint/prettier
checks
- Package uses workspace protocol (`workspace:^`) for monorepo
dependencies
- No bundle size changes (contract test code is not included in SDK
bundles)
- All 43/43 CI checks pass

**Updates since last revision**

- Migrated React SDK contract tests (deleted 4 local files, updated
imports in `ClientEntity.ts`, `ClientRoot.tsx`,
`TestHarnessWebSocket.ts`)
- Fixed Turbopack module resolution by removing `.js` extensions from
shared package internal imports
- Fixed Metro bundler resolution for react-native by enabling
`unstable_enablePackageExports` in `metro.config.js`
- Fixed `ClientPool.nextId()` off-by-one bug to match existing consumer
patterns (first ID is now `"0"` instead of `"1"`)
- Simplified `ClientPool.add()` to internally call `nextId()` and return
the assigned ID (API changed from `add(id: string, client: T): void` to
`add(client: T): string`)
- All CI checks now pass (43/43)

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Touches multiple contract-test runners and introduces package
`exports`/Metro resolution changes; low production impact but moderate
risk of breaking test builds across platforms due to module-resolution
and shared type changes.
> 
> **Overview**
> Introduces a new **private** workspace package,
`@launchdarkly/js-contract-test-utils`, to centralize shared
contract-test infrastructure (common command/config types, `makeLogger`,
a fetch-based client-side `TestHook`, and a generic `ClientPool`), using
`@launchdarkly/js-client-sdk-common` for cross-SDK type compatibility
and exposing a `./client` subpath export.
> 
> Migrates the browser, Electron, React Native, and React contract-test
entities to consume these shared exports, deleting their duplicated
local type/logger/hook files, updating imports/dependencies accordingly,
and enabling Metro `unstable_enablePackageExports` so React Native can
resolve the `./client` subpath.
