Summary:
The auto-fix map behind react-native/no-deep-imports had drifted from the exports declared in index.js.flow, so the rule offered fixes that do not type-check and missed fixes it could have offered.

It was missing 28 modules, among them EventEmitter, CoreEventTypes, PlatformTypes, RendererProxy, usePressability, AssetRegistry and the virtual collection components. It still listed InteractionManager, which has been removed from the public API and whose root getter now throws in development, and Touchable, which is a value-only runtime re-export absent from the published types — auto-fixing either one produces broken code. It also carried a malformed ./Libraries/Utilities/PlatformTypes key and two type names, NativeMethods and NativeMethodsMixin, that the root module does not export. The map is now generated from index.js.flow, so it tracks the real surface.

Two groups of exports stay out of the map on purpose. The rule keeps reporting those deep imports; it simply does not offer a fix for them.

Renamed re-exports such as NativeText as unstable_NativeText, and namespace re-exports such as export * as Systrace, cannot be expressed by a fixer that only rewrites same-name specifiers.

Names published behind an unstable_ or experimental_ prefix are excluded as well. They are genuine public exports, but rewriting a deep import of ViewNativeComponent into unstable_NativeView quietly moves a call site onto an experimental API, and that is a choice the author should make rather than a lint fixer.

InitializeCore and RootTagTypes remain hand-written entries, since neither is derivable from index.js.flow: the first has no root export at all and is replaced wholesale by the react-native/setup-env entry point, and the second re-exports RootTag, which the root does export.

Changelog:
[General][Fixed] - Align the react-native/no-deep-imports auto-fix map with the package's public API
