This should be "0.77-stable" but Meta hasn't made that tag yet, just pinged them to create it
edit: they'll add the tag manually tomorrow

If you are manually creating a 0.77-stable app here, I'm not sure if you need to add the warning above, the app will always be 0.77-stable (and should be since it's the 0.77 documentation) and not use latest.

I don't think this is necessary - we only get out of sync in the delay between the when RN releases a new latest and then we release our matching latest.
Since they don't create a 0.XX-stable until after they release a new latest, we can't rely on that either.
I think that now that we have to use the react-native community CLI, it's easier to just call init with a hat version : ^0.77.0

Description
Fix steps for creating a new app to avoid incompatible versions of
react-nativeandreact-native-windowsbeing usedWhy
Prevents bad experience for new users of RNW.
An issue was hit where using the latest version of
react-native(0.78) to create an app would lead to it being incompatible with the latest version ofreact-native-windows. These steps make sure that the user is using a compatible version ofreact-nativefor their desired version ofreact-native-windows.Screenshots
