    "error": "`ReactDOMTestUtils.act` is deprecated in favor of `React.act`. Import `act` from `react` instead of `react-dom/test-utils`. See https://react.dev/warnings/react-dom-test-utils for more info.",
    "body": "## Symptom\nTests log `ReactDOMTestUtils.act is deprecated in favor of React.act...`, and other helpers from `react-dom/test-utils` (e.g. `renderIntoDocument`, `Simulate`) throw when called. `react-test-renderer/shallow` imports fail.\n\n## Cause\nReact 19 (stable 2024-12-05) moved `act` from `react-dom/test-utils` to `react`. All other `test-utils` functions were removed (they error when called; exports to be removed later). `react-test-renderer/shallow` was removed, and `react-test-renderer` itself is deprecated.\n\n## Fix\n```diff\n- import {act} from 'react-dom/test-utils'\n+ import {act} from 'react';\n```\nCodemod: `npx codemod@latest react/19/replace-act-import`.\n\nShallow renderer:\n```bash\nnpm install react-shallow-renderer --save-dev\n```\n```diff\n- import ShallowRenderer from 'react-test-renderer/shallow';\n+ import ShallowRenderer from 'react-shallow-renderer';\n```\nFor `Simulate`/`renderIntoDocument` and `react-test-renderer`, migrate to `@testing-library/react`.\n\n## Verify\n`grep -rn \"react-dom/test-utils\\|react-test-renderer/shallow\" .` returns nothing outside node_modules; test run no longer prints the deprecation warning.\n\n## Sources\n- https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19-upgrade-guide",
