Summary
Renaming props only considered Fibers without an instance (e.g. Function Components) and Class Components. However, Host Components have an instance but don't implement
forceUpdatethus crashing the frontend. Now we only useforceUpdatefor Class Components like we do in all the other places where we useforceUpdate. Otherwise we useoverridePropsRenamePathregardless of theinstancewhich allows renaming props of Host Components.Found with Claude + Opus 4.6
