Research direction
Start at the React Native structuredClone polyfill entry point and inspect its RegExp handling. Add regression coverage for own overrides of source, flags, and individual flag properties, then run the relevant structuredClone tests. Done means RegExp clones use the built-in pattern and canonical flags without invoking user overrides.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Description
The React Native structuredClone polyfill reads value.source and value.flags, so own overrides replace a RegExp's internal pattern/flags while cloning. Capturing only the aggregate flags getter is also insufficient because it reads user-visible per-flag properties such as global.
Expected behavior
RegExp cloning should read the built-in internal source and canonical d g i m s u v y flags without invoking or trusting own overrides, matching native structuredClone.
