React Compiler generates erroneous code when an app contains a component named `Symbol`

What kind of issue is this?

• React Compiler core (the JS output is incorrect, or your app works incorrectly after optimization)
• babel-plugin-react-compiler (build issue installing or using the Babel plugin)
• eslint-plugin-react-hooks (build issue installing or using the eslint plugin)
• react-compiler-healthcheck (build issue installing or using the healthcheck script)

Repro steps

1. Configure a React app to run React Compiler.
2. Create a component named Symbol.
3. Run the app.

The issue relates to the fact that React Compiler generates output with a call to Symbol.for. As shown in the playground link, if a component is in scope with the name Symbol, the compiler-generated code tries to call the for method on the React component rather than globalThis.Symbol. This results in the runtime error "Symbol.for is not a function".

How often does this bug happen?

Every time

What version of React are you using?

19.2.3

What version of React Compiler are you using?

1.0.0

Start with the linked React Playground repro and inspect the React Compiler-generated JavaScript for the component named Symbol. Confirm the runtime failure, then trace the compiler entry point that emits the Symbol.for call; done means the same repro runs without the "Symbol.for is not a function" error.
