Summary
React DevTools messages reach the app through a
Runtime.evaluateexpression that wraps their JSON in a single-quoted string without escaping it. A message containing an escape such as\"arrives as invalid JSON, and one containing'fails to evaluate, so the backend drops it and the app logs "Error while trying to send a message to domain react-devtools" to LogBox. Selecting a named boundary in the Suspense panel sends such a message on every click.Test Plan
Ran RNTester on an iOS simulator with the Suspense panel from #290, watching the app's console over CDP while selecting the Feed and Comments boundaries.
Error while trying to send a message to domain react-devtools: SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected character: F(Cfor Comments), shown as a LogBox toast.
