Stale MutationObserver records abort callbacks for active observers #58236

Closed as not planned

Description

@OskarEichler

Description

The MutationObserver manager explicitly tolerates stale native records when an observer is disconnected between commit and mount. However, encountering one missing registration returns from the entire notification pass, dropping every later record and callback in the same native batch, including records for still-active observers.

Expected behavior

A stale record for a disconnected observer should be ignored while notification continues for all active observers in the batch, matching the equivalent ResizeObserver handling.

React Native Version

0.87.1 and current main
