Description

Issue occurs because there is a legacy code path that forces all interface parameters to be declared as 'const' in function declarations, even if CPF_ConstParm is not set in exported C++ code. This case conflicts with our unsupported 'const ref' term type in Blueprint functions, and is handled for native C++ APIs that are overridden, but not for non-native Blueprint functions, which is how it manifests here.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open the attached project (4.25).
  2. Attempt to package it for Win64 (inclusive nativization is already enabled).
  3. A C++ compile error will result after cooking, but before packaging is complete:
