Test with JS SDK Alpha and Beta releases

[antonis]

Overview

Track the @sentry/* JavaScript SDK v11 alpha/beta pre-releases and document the compatibility work needed in the React Native SDK ahead of the real v11 bump.

Each pre-release: bump the first-party @sentry/* deps, build, run the test suite, and record the breaking changes and what they require here.

Alpha 2 — 11.0.0-alpha.2

Spike: #6655 (draft, opened to exercise CI).

yarn build (tsc) compiles clean after the adaptations below.

Breaking changes handled in the SDK source

• Span streaming model — spanToJSON() now returns the streamed shape (name/attributes/end_timestamp, status collapsed to ok/error). Internals that need the classic SpanJSON switched to spanToStaticSpanJSON().
• Event filters rename — inboundFiltersIntegration → eventFiltersIntegration (re-exported under the existing RN public name).
• AI instrumentation removed from core — OpenAI/Anthropic/Google GenAI/LangChain/LangGraph helpers moved to the server-only @sentry/server-utils (RN does not depend on it); re-exports and types dropped.
• SEMANTIC_ATTRIBUTE_SENTRY_SOURCE replaced by SENTRY_SEGMENT_NAME_SOURCE.
• Tightened typings — ExtendedError and User index signatures any → unknown; User.name dropped from the typed interface.
• RN-owned options — enableLogs and sendDefaultPii are no longer on core's client options (core removed them / RN Omits dataCollection); RN declares them itself.
• Scope.clear() removed — MIGRATION.md advises withScope/withIsolationScope or SDK re-init; the test harness was migrated onto a clearAllScopes() helper.

TypeScript minimum version

v11 raises the minimum TypeScript to 5.0.4 and stops emitting down-leveled types, which retires the SDK's current TS 3.8 floor (this is what fails the Type Check TypeScript 3.8 CI job on #6655). Tracked separately as a v9 next-major task: #6657.

Open follow-ups

• Test assertions still reading the old span shape (spanToJSON(...).status/.data) — apply the spanToStaticSpanJSON swap on the test side.
• aiExports.test.ts asserts the now-removed AI re-exports — obsolete, delete.
• measurements coming back undefined in stall-tracking / native-frames transactions — investigate (possible real v11 behavior change).
• Regenerate the API report and add a CHANGELOG.md entry once the approach is confirmed.

Alpha / Beta releases

• 11.0.0-alpha.2
• later alpha / beta / rc releases
