Summary:
Motivation

While sanity checking #57492, I double checked why we use path.join(ctx.reactNativePath, ...) here when adjacent OOT platforms resolve by package name.

It turns out this complexity is historic and redundant:

  • reactNativePath doesn't customize the react-native package name — it only resolves the node_modules directory. [1]
  • We now (since ~2 years ago) resolve using {paths: [ctx.root]}, making the manual path.join redundant.

This diff

Drops the reactNativePath option and resolves react-native/setup-env directly by package name.

Purely a refactor. No need to pick to 0.87.

#57557)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #57557

Fresh projects **redbox on launch** — e.g.:

```
Failed to call into JavaScript module method RCTDeviceEventEmitter.emit().
Module has not been registered as callable.
Registered callable JavaScript modules (n = 1): AppRegistry.
```

(The named module varies — `HMRClient.setup()`, `RCTDeviceEventEmitter.emit()` — it's whichever callable module native calls first.) `n = 1: AppRegistry` is the tell: **core initialization never runs**.

## Root cause (#57475)

Core init runs via Metro's `serializer.getModulesRunBeforeMainModule`. Metro (`metro/src/lib/getAppendScripts.js`) only emits the run-before `__r()` for a module **already present in the bundle graph**, and silently skips it otherwise:

```js
const paths = [...options.runBeforeMainModule, entryPoint];
for (const path of paths) {
  if (modules.some((module) => module.path === path)) {  // only if already in the graph
    /* __r(moduleId) */
  }
}
```

**#57475 switched the run-before target from `Libraries/Core/InitializeCore` → `src/setup-env.js`.

- `InitializeCore.js` **is** reachable (imported by `Libraries/ReactPrivate/ReactNativePrivateInitializeCore.js`).
- `src/setup-env.js` is imported by **nothing** → not in the graph → silently skipped → core init never runs.

The two modules are functionally identical (both call `setUpDefaultReactNativeEnvironment().default()`), so only *reachability* changed. #57498 was cosmetic (same resolved file) and does not fix this.

### Evidence (bundle tail)

| Run-before target | Bundle tail | Boots? |
|---|---|---|
| `setup-env` (current) | `__r(0);` | ❌ |
| `InitializeCore` (this PR) | `__r(<InitializeCore>); __r(0);` | ✅ |

Verified end-to-end via `test-release-local -t RNTestProject -p iOS`. Ruled out: Metro cache (cold `--reset-cache` identical), stale Metro, and #57484 (`./src/*` exports removal). Reproduces via the `react-native-community/cli` bundling path (OSS `react-native start`); internal Meta bundling is unaffected, which is why CI/internal stayed green.

## Scope — interim stopgap

Only the **internal Metro bootstrap target** reverts to `InitializeCore`. The public `react-native/setup-env` entry point and its deprecation of `InitializeCore` are **unchanged**.

The **durable fix** is to make `setup-env` graph-reachable (or make Metro treat `getModulesRunBeforeMainModule` entries as graph roots) — which will then allow `InitializeCore` to be removed as intended. cc huntie (`setup-env` stack owner).

A cherry-pick of this is also up against `0.87-stable` (#57553).

## Changelog

[General][Fixed] - Fix apps failing to boot ("... not registered as callable") caused by core init not running.
