The existing parity harness hand-authors the facts on both sides, so it proves that given identical facts both hosts select identical candidates, and says nothing about the two code paths that derive those facts from a real page. Four divergences lived in that blind spot and it passed throughout. This drives one real page and compares clickable, enabled, editable, scrollable and positiveBounds element by element, plus the element sets themselves, which is what catches a host that omits html or includes head. Reverting any of the four fixes makes it fail naming the element and the fact. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01A5KmftdEJ49A9z5mF5ESrX
@sanderling/spec
TypeScript spec API for sanderling, a property-based UI fuzzer for mobile and web apps.
Spec authors write properties (what the app must always or eventually do), extractors (structured state from the UI), and action generators (what sanderling is allowed to do). The sanderling CLI evaluates the spec in a loop against a running app.
Install
npm install --save-dev @sanderling/spec
Usage
import { extract, always, eventually, actions, weighted, taps, swipes, InputText, Tap } from "@sanderling/spec";
const loggedIn = extract((s) => !!s.ax.find("id:home-tab-bar"));
const balance = extract<number>((s) => (s.snapshots.balance as number) ?? 0);
const emailField = extract((s) => s.ax.find("id:email-field"));
const submitButton = extract((s) => s.ax.find("id:sign-in-button"));
export const properties = {
balanceNeverNegative: always(() => balance.current >= 0),
loginSucceeds: eventually(() => loggedIn.current).within(30, "seconds"),
};
const doLogin = actions(() => {
if (loggedIn.current) return [];
const email = emailField.current;
const submit = submitButton.current;
if (!email || !submit) return [];
return [InputText({ into: email, text: "[email protected]" }), Tap({ on: submit })];
});
export const actionsRoot = weighted(
[50, doLogin],
[10, taps],
[2, swipes],
);
Setup actions
Some action generators are not fuzz targets but preconditions: they drive the
app from a fresh state into the surface you actually want to fuzz (login,
onboarding, permission grants, seed data). Export them as setup instead of
mixing them into actionsRoot. The runner tries setup first; if it yields
no action, it falls through to actionsRoot. State regressing back across the
precondition (e.g. logout under fuzz) automatically re-engages setup.
const login = actions(() => {
if (loggedIn.current) return [];
return [InputText({ into: emailField.current!, text: "[email protected]" }), Tap({ on: submitButton.current! })];
});
export const setup = login;
export const actionsRoot = weighted([60, browse], [40, edit]);
(globalThis as { setup?: unknown }).setup = setup;
Setup is just an ActionGenerator; compose with actions, weighted, or
whenRoute exactly like the main pool.
Works identically across Android, iOS, and web targets.
