Description

### Current behaviour
When dismissing a Dialog (via any method — Cancel button inside Dialog.Actions, swipe-back gesture, or tapping outside the dialog), React Native 0.81 (with React 19.1.0) throws the following console error:
Invalid prop `compact` supplied to `React.Fragment`.
React.Fragment can only have `key` and `children` props.

### Expected behaviour
Dismissing a Dialog should not cause console errors. Props like compact should not be passed to React.Fragment.

### How to reproduce?

1. Create a Dialog with Dialog.Actions containing two Buttons, e.g.:

`
Title

Message


<>
Cancel
OK


`

2. Open the dialog.

3. Dismiss the dialog by:

- Pressing the Cancel button
- Swiping back (Android)
- Tapping outside the dialog container

4. Observe the console error.

### Preview
Console error log on dismiss:
console.js:661 Invalid prop `compact` supplied to `React.Fragment`.
React.Fragment can only have `key` and `children` props.

### What have you tried so far?

- Replaced <>... with ... → fixes the issue.
- Verified no compact prop is explicitly passed from my code.
- Confirmed that error appears only after upgrading to React Native 0.81.0 (React 19.1.0).
- Tried using React.Fragment explicitly → same error.
- This suggests Dialog.Actions is injecting compact into children.
