Description
**Describe the bug**
React 19 is not working, when I try to go to any component, I can see: Could not find React instance for element
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Install a React 18 project
2. Import component
3. Check that you can be redirected to vscode successfully
4. Upgrade to React 19
5. Check that you can't be redirected to vscode successfully
**Expected behavior**
It should behave like React 18 versions

Research direction
Start by reproducing the redirect behavior in a React 18 project, then repeat it after upgrading to React 19. Read the linked react-inspector issue for related context. Done means selecting a component again redirects successfully to its source in VS Code under React 19.
