Research direction

Start with packages/core/src/baseclient.ts in the linked Sentry JavaScript implementation and compare its no-DSN behavior with the React Native JS layer. Check whether events can reach Spotlight without native changes, while noting the linked Cocoa and Java issues as blockers. Done means Spotlight-enabled initialization works without a DSN.
