Description

Now that we support embedding NativeScript's native interop layer in RN apps as a turbomodule, it would be really convenient to be able to have native sources live alongside JS/TS app source like it does in NativeScript apps - and be able to access those in TS types upon a metagen run.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing NativeScript native interop layer exposed as a turbomodule in React Native apps, then inspect how a metagen run produces TypeScript types. Define the autolinking entry points and source-layout expectations before implementing them. Done means native sources can live alongside the app’s JS/TS sources and are represented in generated types.
