pj 90224dfd06 Physical-device iOS support (#64) (#66)
* feat(companion): add appState, eraseText, pressKey runner handlers

The Go runner transport already calls these methods; the in-device runner
implemented them only latently. They become load-bearing on the device
path, where the hybrid's legacy-companion fallback is absent. Backward
compatible: the simulator hybrid never calls them.

* feat(ios): resolve physical devices from devicectl

ResolveDevice parses xcrun devicectl list devices into Device{Name,
HardwareUDID, CoreDeviceID}: the hardware UDID feeds xcodebuild/iproxy
and the CoreDevice id feeds devicectl install. Matches by name or either
id; errors list candidates on none/ambiguous. Fixes the stale sidecar
comment on ResolveTarget.

* feat(ioscompanion): runner-only device driver mode

NewDevice reuses Driver with d.companion set to the runner dialed over an
iproxy usbmux tunnel, hybrid=false, runnerClient=nil. The existing accessor
seams then route launch/snapshot/text/gesture to the runner with no new
DeviceDriver methods. Device seams swap clear-state to a devicectl
reinstall, container reset to a warn-once no-op, and paste grant to a no-op.
realSpawnDeviceRunner builds and signs the runner at run time via the App
Store Connect API key (no Xcode UI), caching on a source hash.

* test(ioscompanion): cover device wiring, routing, and shell-out argv

Seam-driven NewDevice wiring + gesture/text routing (asserting no keyboard
HID), devicectl/build/test/iproxy argv builders, xctestrun test-target dict
name parsing, signing-credential env checks, and source-hash cache keying.

* feat(testrun): route physical-device iOS runs to the device driver

Execute resolves a non-simulator iOS target through ios.ResolveDevice into
its hardware UDID and CoreDevice id; buildDriver constructs NewDevice via a
seam instead of rejecting the device. Generalizes the --ios-device and
--ios-app-path help to cover the device path; signing stays env-read, never
a flag.

* feat(doctor): device prereqs replace java/sidecar for ios-device

iosDeviceChecks now verifies devicectl, iproxy on PATH, a connected+paired
device (via ios.ConnectedDevices), and App Store Connect signing creds (via
ioscompanion.VerifyDeviceSigning). The retired JVM sidecar checks stay only
under android.

* feat(conformance): device backend uses iphoneos app and tunnel orphan checks

The device backend now builds via just ios-device, points --ios-app-path at
the Debug-iphoneos bundle, and reinstalls each run for clear-state. The G5
orphan scan replaces the retired sidecar.jar check with lingering iproxy and
device test-without-building sessions (destination platform=iOS,id=).

* feat(folio): device build linking the iosArm64 framework

project.yml selects the Kotlin framework slice by SDK (iosArm64 for
iphoneos, iosSimulatorArm64 for simulator) and links via -framework Shared
on the SDK-conditional search path. New ios-device/test-ios-device recipes
mirror ios/test-ios, signing the Debug-iphoneos build with the .env API key.

* docs(cli): document ios-device doctor checks and the device flags

The --ios-device flag now also selects a connected device; --ios-app-path
covers the device install; the doctor gains an ios-device platform whose
checks are devicectl, iproxy, a paired device, and signing credentials.
Corrects the --clear-data default to true.

* fix(ioscompanion): resolve signing key path to absolute

xcodebuild's -authenticationKeyPath requires an absolute path, but .env
files commonly carry a repo-relative one. Resolve it against the working
directory before the stat so a relative ASC_API_KEY_PATH still signs.

* fix(ioscompanion): re-enable signing for the device runner build

companion/project.yml disables code signing for the simulator build, so
the device build inherited it and produced an unsigned runner that the
device rejected at install (0xe8008018). build-for-testing now forces
CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED/REQUIRED=YES so automatic provisioning signs it.

* fix(ioscompanion): key the device build cache on signing identity

The cache marker hashed only sources, so switching signing team or key
reused a runner signed with the stale identity, which the device rejects at
install (0xe8008018). Fold team + key id into the cache key so a signing
change forces a rebuild.

* docs(getting-started): document physical iOS device setup

Lists the iproxy requirement and the App Store Connect signing env vars
(SANDERLING_IOS_TEAM, ASC_API_*) a device run needs, plus the
test-ios-device recipe and the doctor check.

* feat(ios): native usbmux client and in-process tunnel forwarder

Talk to macOS usbmuxd directly instead of shelling out to iproxy, so the
device path depends on nothing beyond macOS + Xcode.

* refactor(ios): drive device tunnel via io.Closer seam

Replace the tunnelChild *exec.Cmd and spawnTunnel seam with a tunnel
io.Closer and startTunnel seam backed by the in-process usbmux forwarder.

* refactor(ios): remove iproxy spawn from device runner

* test(ios): cover tunnel close via io.Closer not child process

* feat(doctor): check usbmuxd socket instead of iproxy on PATH

* chore(conformance): drop iproxy orphan check; tunnel is in-process

* docs(ios): device tunnel uses native usbmux, nothing to install

* chore: gitignore the signing keys directory

* feat(folio): add Android launcher icon (black bg, white dot)

* feat(folio): add iOS app icon (black bg, white dot)

* feat(folio): add web favicon (black bg, white dot)

* docs(ioscompanion): fix stale const comments

* refactor(ioscompanion): inline single-use devicectl argv builders

* refactor(ioscompanion): inline xcodegenArgs, drop tautological argv tests

* refactor(ioscompanion): inline firstNonEmpty

* refactor(doctor): dedup usbmuxd socket path via ioscompanion seam

* test(doctor): trim redundant signing-check test

* refactor(ioscompanion): deliver COMPANION_PORT via TEST_RUNNER_ env

* fix(testrun): seam preflight so iOS routing tests pass on CI without xcrun

sanderling <command> [flags]

sanderling test

Run a spec against an app for a fixed duration.

Flag Default Description
--spec required Path to the TypeScript spec.
--bundle-id required Target app bundle ID (Android: applicationId).
--launcher-activity resolved Optional <pkg>/<activity> to launch. Overrides default resolution.
--platform android Target platform: android, ios, or web.
--avd optional (android) Android AVD name to boot if no device is connected. Required only when no device is connected and multiple AVDs exist.
--ios-device optional (ios) iOS target: a simulator name/UDID to boot, or a connected device's name, UDID, or CoreDevice id.
--ios-app-path optional (ios) Path to the .app bundle for clear-state reinstall (simulator via simctl, device via devicectl).
--duration 5m Total test duration (30s, 5m, 2h, 1d).
--seed 0 PRNG seed. 0 uses a random seed and records it in meta.json.
--output ./runs Output directory for traces.
--clear-data true Clear app data before launching so the run starts from a fresh install. Pass --clear-data=false to resume prior state.

sanderling replay [run-or-runs-dir]

Serve a local web UI for browsing traces. The positional argument is optional and may point at either a runs directory (the parent of many runs) or a single run directory (auto-detected by the presence of meta.json). Defaults to ./runs.

Flag Default Description
--port 0 (ephemeral) TCP port to listen on.
--no-open false Skip opening the default browser on startup.
--dev false Reverse-proxy non-API requests to the Vite dev server on 127.0.0.1:5173.

See the replay UI page for the panel reference and keyboard shortcuts.

sanderling doctor

Check the host environment for a working sanderling setup.

sanderling doctor [--platform web|android|ios|ios-device|all]

--platform defaults to all, which runs every platform's checks (deduped). Pass a specific platform to scope the output.

Platform Checks
web headless Chromium can launch (the bundled CDP surface boots a real browser).
android adb on PATH; emulator on PATH or under ANDROID_HOME; Java 17+; embedded native sidecar JAR is real.
ios xcrun on PATH; simctl on PATH. The simulator path drives the native companion with no JVM.
ios-device the ios checks plus devicectl; the macOS usbmuxd socket; a connected, paired device; App Store Connect signing credentials present.

sanderling version

Print the CLI version.
