    "body": "## Symptom\nAfter upgrading from Expo SDK 52 to 53 (React Native 0.79), bundling fails:\n```\nThe package at \"node_modules\\ws\\lib\\stream.js\" attempted to import the Node standard library module \"stream\".\n```\nVariants: `ws/lib/websocket.js` ... `\"events\"`. The usual trigger is `@supabase/supabase-js` → `@supabase/realtime-js` → `ws`. Firebase packages and others can break in less obvious ways.\n\n## Cause\nExpo SDK 53 (2025-04-30) / React Native 0.79 turned on Metro's support for the `package.json` `exports` field by default. Packages whose `exports` map points React Native at a Node build now resolve to that Node code. An Expo maintainer (brentvatne) tracks this whole class of issues in expo/expo#36375.\n\n## Fix\n1. Preferred: upgrade the offending library to a version that ships correct `exports` conditions, for example `npx expo install @supabase/supabase-js@latest`. Then run `npm ls ws` to make sure no old `realtime-js` remains.\n2. Workaround: opt out in `metro.config.js`:\n```js\nconst { getDefaultConfig } = require('expo/metro-config')\nconst config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname)\nconfig.resolver.unstable_enablePackageExports = false\nmodule.exports = config\n```\nOpting out can break packages that rely on `exports`, so remove it once the dependency is fixed. Clear the cache after either change with `npx expo start -c`.\n\n## Verify\n`npx expo start -c` bundles without the Node standard library error, and the realtime/websocket feature connects on a device.\n\n## Sources\n- https://expo.dev/changelog/sdk-53\n- https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/36477\n- https://github.com/supabase/supabase-js/issues/1400",
