Summary:
This solution is built upon previous findings and some help from Claude. In previous findings i had noted that portal commits were getting overridden by the final root commit (and it only supported attaching portal to root node) but I thought the issue might be in the JS renderer.
In this solution, we store the portal children on cpp via
mountPortalChildrencall inreplaceContainerChildrenand they finally get committed in thecompleteSurfacecall. Maybe a solution at the JS renderer might be possible here but not sure since the shadow tree gets constructed on the commit phase (so it makes sense to attach portal children in that phase). This also needs more understanding on how the portals were considered for persistence mode (used by RN Fabric) vs mutation mode (used by react dom).Changelog:
