Research direction

Start with content/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation.md and review the existing React and npm installation guidance. Search the documentation for repeated UI Elements React compatibility notes, update the relevant wording to state the supported maximum version, and verify that all applicable installation pages consistently describe the restriction.

Description

The documentation regarding installation off UI Elements doesn't list the maximum React version (<19).

Since React 19 has been in stable release since 2024-12-05 (source), it's important to let users know they may need to downgrade React to use this the npm package for this library (until that's no longer the case).

I believe a few small copy edits on the page I referenced above would be enough to alert users to the situation although there may be other pages that repeat the same info (and thus would need similar changes).
