* refactor(boundaries): move shared contracts below their consumers Acts on the depgraph findings: type-only edges are invisible to R5, so vocabulary that everything depends on had drifted above the zones that use it. - contracts/: the four platform-plugin facet tags (LogBackend, RecordingBackendTag, PerfMetricsSamplerTag, PlatformGatedProviderResolverKey) now live beside the plugin contract itself, which also moves out of core/; NetworkEntry moves next to the command surface that renders it; and the click-button, recording-export-quality, interactor-types and runner-lease-context vocabularies move down out of core/. - (root) drops from 29 files to 13: the internal *-contract/output/annotation modules move into contracts/, kernel/ (daemon-error, observability-redaction beside kernel/redaction), core/ (batch-policy, an ADR 0008 projection), commands/ (cli-command-aliases) and remote/ (upload-progress, upload-stream). What remains is entrypoints and the composition roots that R2 requires to sit outside the spine. - utils/ joins the ranked spine at rank 1 after its only two upward files move to the zones they were reaching for (cli/resolve-cli-options, cli-schema/cli-config), putting ~336 value edges under the gate. - Internal imports that routed types through the client-types re-export hub now name their real source. Type-only spine inversions drop from 61 to 35; the remainder is two clusters (client/client-types.ts and the ADR 0003 daemon facet). No behaviour change: 4470 unit tests and the layering gate pass.

Each hop invented a cross-zone edge the architecture never asked for — including every apparent replay -> daemon and utils -> commands dependency. They now name the module that declares them. Within-zone hops are left alone; those are a local style choice, not a boundary claim. 2. `find`'s three positional/flag checks existed in both daemon entry points with hand-repeated messages, and the copy in dispatchFindReadOnlyViaRuntime was unreachable — its only caller validates first. Both now call checkFindArgs in selectors/find.ts, beside parseFindArgs and isReadOnlyFindAction, for the reason that module's own comment already gives: so the two paths cannot disagree. The refusal is returned rather than thrown, because the two mechanisms are not observationally identical in the session event log. Type-only spine inversions: 61 -> 35. 4470 unit tests and every gate pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * feat(layering): ratchet type-only spine inversions (R6) R5 ignores type-only edges by design — they cost nothing at runtime and do not affect cold start — so nothing was watching the direction they point. Ranking them the same way found 61 inversions, including contracts/ and utils/ declared in terms of rank-4 zones. 26 are fixed by the preceding commits; R6 pins the rest per zone pair so they can only shrink, and a new pair fails outright rather than being added to the baseline. The two remaining clusters each need their own change, and the baseline says so: the per-command Options/Result vocabulary declared inside the public Node-client surface, and the ADR 0003 daemon facet shape that core's descriptor registry composes. Both ratchet directions are covered: growth fails, and shrinking without lowering the number fails too, so the baseline cannot quietly stop describing the tree.

The graph tool that produced it lives on the claude/depgraph-viewer branch, deliberately out of this change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * refactor(selectors): state the shared selector argument rules once R2 (commands-floor) forbids the daemon from importing commands/, and that is the right call: commands/ is the client-side surface — its only consumers are cli/, cli-schema/, mcp/, client/ and the composition roots — while the daemon is the executor on the other side of the wire. ADR 0008 protects exactly that seam. Relaxing R2 would let the executor depend on a client projection and pull CLI grammar and output formatting into the daemon's bundle. But the rule does force duplication: the daemon must validate independently because it accepts requests from any client, so 10 refusal messages existed in both zones. The only place a shared rule can live is below both, and selectors/ already held the parsers (splitIsSelectorArgs, splitSelectorFromArgs, isSupportedPredicate) and even the `is` predicate message — just not the checks that use them. Three drifts had already appeared in the `is` predicate rule alone: - commands/interaction/selectors.ts re-implemented the predicate list as an inlined seven-way `!==` chain while importing the message and hint from selectors/predicates.ts, so adding a predicate to the shared list would not have reached the CLI grammar. - That inlined chain compared the raw token, so the CLI rejected `is TEXT ...` while the daemon it hands the command to accepts it. The CLI now matches the executor; this is an intentional alignment, not an accident. - isCommand raised the same refusal without IS_PREDICATE_USAGE_HINT, so whether an agent got recovery guidance depended on which layer noticed first — the failure mode ADR 0010's audit calls out. checkIsPredicate, checkIsArgs, checkGetFormat, checkElementTargetArgs and checkWaitText now hold those rules, each beside the parser it wraps, and report a refusal rather than choosing how to raise it: the daemon returns a response, the command surface throws. Those mechanisms are not interchangeable — they write different session events — so the shared check stays out of that decision. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * feat(daemon): give ADR 0014's ref frame one transition, pin SessionState owners `SessionStore.get()` returns the live record out of a private Map and `set()` re-puts the same reference, so every `session.<field> = …` in the daemon is a durable write to store-owned state: 57 of them across 17 files, against 26 `set()` calls that are therefore ceremonial. Nothing at the store boundary can check what those writes are supposed to keep true. Measuring which module writes which field showed the problem is narrower than the raw count suggests — 16 of 27 fields already have exactly one writer. The sharp case is ADR 0014's ref frame: `refFrameState`, `refFrameScope`, `refFrameTree` and `refFrameGeneration` must move together or the frame is incoherent (an `active` state with a stale tree resolves refs against a namespace nobody authorized), yet complete issuance wrote them in ref-frame.ts and partial issuance wrote the same four in session-snapshot.ts. ref-frame.ts's own header claims to be "the single owner of the frame's transitions", and session-snapshot.ts documented itself as the exception. Both forms now go through `activateRefFrame`; they differ only in scope. `recordSession` deliberately moves alone in two paths (recording without arming a publication), so the save-script cluster gets no invented abstraction — it gets ownership instead. R7 records every field's owner and stops the set from growing quietly: a new SessionState field must declare one, a foreign write fails naming the owner to call, and an owner that stops writing must be removed so the table cannot drift into fiction. Field names are read out of the `SessionState` declaration, so a daemon module with an unrelated local named `session` — a provider or runner session — cannot trip it. 4475 unit tests and every gate pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * docs: record the reference semantics and refresh the findings SessionStore.get/set now document that the record is handed out live, since that is the fact behind R7. The findings snapshot picks up the resolved R2 question, the ref-frame consolidation and the two new gate scopes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * refactor(boundaries): rank every satellite zone, extract the provider port Second-order effect of the earlier rounds. With `utils` on the spine and `(root)` emptied of shared contracts, the eleven zones that were unranked "because ranking them would invent an order the architecture had not committed to" turned out to have a consistent rank already — the order was there, unasserted. Solving the constraint system showed one blocker: `utils/remote-config.ts` projected a remote-config profile into `CliFlags` while reaching up into `remote/`, and its only three consumers were in `cli/`. It moves there as `cli/remote-config-flags.ts`, and every satellite zone joins the spine. Ranked coverage goes from 730/895 files to 882/895. Only `(root)` stays out, and now for one stated reason: R2 forbids `daemon/` from importing `commands/`, so the files that wire them compose the spine from above. Ranking them exposed 22 type-only inversions R6 had never been able to see, and they were concentrated rather than scattered: - The device-provider port. `providers/` and `cloud-webdriver/` implement what the daemon calls, so both sides name `DeviceLease`, `LeaseLifecycleProvider`, `LeaseLifecycleContext` and `DeviceInventoryProvider` — now declared in contracts/device-provider.ts, below both. The adapters also imported the daemon's NARROWED `DaemonRequest` while only ever reading `req.flags`; they now name the public one from kernel/contracts. - `MetroPrepareKind` and the remote-config profile field groups move to contracts/ for the same reason: the command surface validates them and contracts/cli-flags.ts is composed from them. Two clusters remain, ratcheted with their reasons in TYPE_INVERSION_BASELINE: the client-types vocabulary, and `SessionAction`, which needs `CommandFlags` and `DaemonBatchStep` to move with it. Also fixes two things CI caught: the eight type re-exports my earlier import redirection orphaned (none published through any src/sdk/* entrypoint, so no public surface changes) and `isSupportedPredicate`, now module-private since `checkIsPredicate` is the admission API. `fallow-baselines/health.json` is keyed by path, so the moved cli-config entry moves with the file rather than being regenerated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * fix(selectors): use the admitted predicate, not the raw option Review finding. `isCommand` called `checkIsPredicate` and then kept reading `options.predicate` for the capture policy, the `exists` branch, `evaluateIsPredicate`, the failure message and the returned result. Admission normalizes case, so an upper-case predicate was let past the gate and then evaluated against lower-case branches: `EXISTS` skipped its own branch and fell through to the generic path, and the result echoed the raw token. I widened admission at that surface without threading the normalized value through it — the CLI-grammar surface in the same change does use the admitted value. Every decision after admission now reads it. Two tests, both verified to fail without the fix: - a production-route regression driving `device.selectors.is` with `EXISTS`/`TEXT`, plus one pinning that an unknown predicate is still refused WITH the ADR 0010 usage hint; - a surface parity gate (selectors/__tests__/is-argument-surface-parity.test.ts) in the repo's existing parity style, asserting the daemon and CLI-grammar surfaces reach the same verdict and hand the same normalized predicate downstream across an input table. A helper-only test cannot catch a surface that admits correctly and then discards the result, which is what happened here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * docs: name the pre-push gate, and the formatter's path allowlist Both misses in this PR's review were process, not judgement, and the docs pointed the wrong way for both. AGENTS.md said "prefer the aggregate package.json scripts" without naming which aggregate, and CONTRIBUTING listed `pnpm test` and the targeted checks but never `pnpm check`. `check:tooling` looks like the gate and is a subset of it: it stops before the Fallow audit, so the dead exports this PR introduced passed a clean `check:tooling` and failed CI. Both files now name `pnpm check`, say what it covers, and say what it cannot (the device matrix). The same gap produced a second mistake twice: `oxfmt <path>` reformats whatever you point it at, while the repo's `format` script is an allowlist that excludes `scripts/` and every `.md`. One run reformatted 50 unrelated script files into a commit; the next nearly did it to AGENTS.md. AGENTS.md now says to run `pnpm format`, never `oxfmt <path>`. It also records the rule that cost a CI cycle: Fallow's baselines are keyed by path, so a renamed file needs its baseline entry moved, not the baselines regenerated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * revert: undo stray formatter output across docs and scripts Three separate `oxfmt <path>` runs in this branch reformatted files the repo's `format` script deliberately excludes: 55 files under scripts/maestro-conformance plus scripts/perf, sync-mcp-metadata and the slow-test reporter, and 12 markdown files including six ADRs and docs/agents/. All of it was whitespace, quote style and markdown table padding — no content — but it inflated the diff a reviewer has to read and would have rewritten prose ownership across files this change has no business touching. All 70 are back to their origin/main content, so the diff outside src/ is now exactly this change's scope: three docs, scripts/layering, the Fallow baseline, and five provider integration tests. The rule this violated is now in AGENTS.md: run `pnpm format`, never `oxfmt <path>`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * style: reformat two provider tests with the repo's pinned oxfmt `pnpm format:check` failed in CI on the two files whose imports I merged by hand. The repo pins oxfmt 0.42.0 as a devDependency and both `format` scripts invoke `./node_modules/oxfmt/bin/oxfmt`; I had reformatted with `npx oxfmt`, which resolved 0.60.0, and the two versions disagree about wrapping a 100-column import. This is the rule AGENTS.md already states — run `pnpm format`, never oxfmt directly — so there is nothing to add to the docs, only to do. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * fix(ci): install deps for the layering guard, and gate the zero-dep contract The Layering Guard job failed with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND on `oxc-parser`. The job ran with `install-deps: false` — no `pnpm install`, so no `node_modules` — and R7 had started parsing the daemon with oxc-parser instead of matching assignment operators with a regex. `pnpm check:layering` passed on every local run, because locally `node_modules` is always there. The job now installs dependencies. The alternative was to put R7 back on a regex, which cannot see `??=` or a computed `session[key] =` write, so it would trade a correct rule for a fast job. That leaves the interesting part: the zero-dep contract is real for the jobs that keep it, and it is invisible to every local run, which is the worst combination a constraint can have. R8 makes it checkable. It reads the zero-dep job list out of `.github/workflows/` rather than restating it — declaring a job zero-dep is what puts it under the rule — walks each job's entry scripts and their whole relative-import closure, and requires every specifier to be a Node builtin or another repo file. A zero-dep job whose entry scripts the scan cannot identify fails too, so the rule cannot be escaped by changing how the job invokes them. Specifiers come from oxc-parser's module record, not a line scan. The closures include `--test` files, and a test about imports naturally embeds import syntax in a fixture string; the line scanner reported two such phantom violations in model.test.ts before the switch, which is how a gate stops being trusted. Verified by re-running the real gate against three injected regressions: the layering job back on `install-deps: false` (reproduces the exact CI failure, pointing at session-state.ts:24), a package import added to the still-zero-dep affected-selector closure, and a zero-dep job whose run step names no script. Also corrects the CONTEXT.md spine paragraph, which still described the satellite zones as deliberately unranked after they had all joined the ranked spine. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * fix(layering): make R7 exhaustive, and follow session records through aliases Review finding: `SESSION_STATE_FIELD_OWNERS` covered 27 of `SessionState`'s 42 fields and nothing asserted parity, so a new field could be added and pass the gate by being invisible to it. R7's advertised claim — "every SessionState write is inside its declared owner" — was broader than what it checked. Investigating that turned up a second, larger gap the finding did not name: the scan only recognized a binding literally named `session`. The daemon names these records by role, so `nextSession`, `provisionalSession`, `completedSession`, `preRunSession` and `preEntrySession` were all invisible — and three of those writes were genuine violations R7 existed to catch: src/daemon/snapshot-runtime.ts:256 nextSession.snapshotScopeSource src/daemon/snapshot-runtime.ts:265 nextSession.snapshotGeneration src/daemon/handlers/session-replay-runtime.ts:707 preEntrySession.pendingRecordAndHeal The first two are the #1076 versioned-ref invariant: the generation advances exactly when the stored tree is replaced. That rule lived in `setSessionSnapshot` and had acquired a second statement of itself in snapshot-runtime.ts, whose own comment admitted the bypass. It now goes through `setSnapshotLineage` in the owning module. The third clears a watermark stamped by session-replay-resume.ts; `clearPendingRecordAndHealWatermark` puts the clear beside the stamp. Gate changes: - Binding detection accepts aliases, paired with the existing declared-field filter so an unrelated `…Session` local only registers if it also writes a field SessionState owns — where the remedy is the same anyway. - `fieldClassificationDrift` asserts parity in all three directions: unclassified, in-both, and naming a field SessionState no longer declares. - `STORE_OWNED_SESSION_STATE_FIELDS` classifies the 11 fields the store establishes at construction. It is a positive claim, so a direct write to one fails and names both remedies. - Four fields the widened scan made visible (`lease`, `deviceClaim`, `appName`, `saveScriptComplete`) got real owners. `nextSnapshotGeneration` is now module-private: replacing its only external call site orphaned the export, which `pnpm check` caught via Fallow. Verified against three injected regressions: a new SessionState field with no direct write (the reviewer's exact scenario), a foreign write through an alias binding, and a direct write to a store-established field. All three rejected. `pnpm check` green, 4486 unit tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bfu8HofkhybiAm5LECfqur * docs(daemon): correct the snapshot-lineage claim, and pin the real contract Device verification of the snapshot-lineage route found that a ref pinned before a `diff` keeps resolving with no pinned-ref warning. That is the designed ADR 0014 behaviour, not a regression — the comment describing it was wrong, and I propagated it. `main`'s comment in snapshot-runtime.ts said a diff "leaves client refs pinned to the previous generation, which is exactly what the pinned warning diagnoses". The counter and the authorization epoch are different clocks: - `diff` passes `issuesRefsToClient: false`, so it never reactivates the frame; - `resolveRefStalenessWarning` compares a pin against the frame EPOCH, not the observation counter, and its own comment says why — a capture that bumped the counter must not make a valid pin from the issuing frame look stale. So advancing the counter is not the same as invalidating client refs, and the observable the comment promised does not exist. I carried the sentence into `setSnapshotLineage`'s doc when the transition moved, and then into a hardware verification request, which cost a reviewer a device run against a false claim. `setSnapshotLineage` itself is unchanged and was a pure move: same expressions, same inputs as the inline assignments it replaced, so this route behaves exactly as it does on main. A comment that contradicts the code should be an assertion instead, so the contract is now pinned in session-snapshot.test.ts: the diff advances the counter, preserves the epoch, leaves the pre-diff pin resolving without a warning, and still warns for a pin from a different frame. Verified to fail when the epoch comparison is swapped for the counter. A second test covers the keep-current branch, which had no coverage. `pnpm check` green, 4488 unit tests.

Contributing
Thanks for your interest in contributing to agent-device.
Development
Requirements:
- Node.js 22+
- pnpm
- Android SDK tools (
adb) for Android support - Xcode (
simctl/devicectl) for iOS support
Setup:
pnpm install
Build all CLIs and Xcode projects:
pnpm build:all
Apple XCTest builds now share a common helper script. pnpm build:xcuitest:ios and
pnpm build:xcuitest:tvos keep their existing cleanup behavior, while
pnpm build:xcuitest:macos reuses the existing DerivedData by default for faster local
iteration. Set AGENT_DEVICE_IOS_CLEAN_DERIVED=1 when you need a clean macOS runner rebuild.
Before pushing, run the aggregate gate:
pnpm check
That is check:tooling && check:fallow && check:unit, and it is the only command that covers
every non-device CI job. pnpm check:tooling on its own is not the gate — it stops before
check:fallow, so a dead export or a complexity finding your diff introduces still fails CI
after a clean check:tooling run. pnpm test likewise runs the unit projects only. What
pnpm check cannot cover is the device/smoke matrix, which needs real devices.
Run tests:
pnpm test
Targeted checks, while iterating:
pnpm check:quick
pnpm check:unit
pnpm exec vitest run src/compat/maestro/__tests__/replay-flow.test.ts src/compat/__tests__/replay-input.test.ts
Code quality (fallow): CI runs pnpm check:fallow --base "$FALLOW_BASE", a diff-based
audit of dead code, duplication, and complexity in the files your PR changes, compared
against the grandfathered baselines in fallow-baselines/. Locally, pnpm fallow runs
the same kind of audit against origin/main and is expected to pass on a clean tree;
pnpm fallow:all shows the full-project picture, including known legacy findings that
the baselines grandfather, so it reporting issues is normal. CRAP scores depend on
estimated test coverage, so a finding can occasionally be exposed — not introduced — by
your change. Run pnpm fallow:baseline to regenerate the baselines only when you are
intentionally accepting a finding.
pnpm fallow— diff-based audit vsorigin/main(what CI runs, with CI picking the PR base)pnpm fallow:all— full-tree summary, includes grandfathered legacy findingspnpm fallow:baseline— regenerate baselines (only to intentionally accept a finding)
Code quality (production exports): pnpm check:production-exports runs Fallow's native
production graph, which excludes test/story/dev files, and fails when a new export has no
production consumer. This includes the test-only-export bug class that shipped in #1199's first
revision, while also catching exports that are unreachable from every graph. It is intentionally
baseline-free: there is no grandfather file, so a new unused production export fails loudly. Fallow's
ignoreExportsUsedInFile option in the gate's inherited config keeps exports with a real
same-file consumer out of this report without weakening the general Fallow audit.
Fix a finding by wiring the export into production or removing the unnecessary export/code. For
an intentional test seam or other non-production consumer, add a JSDoc @internal tag with a short
justification beside the declaration. An inline
// fallow-ignore-next-line unused-export is not suitable here: the general test-inclusive graph
sees the test consumer and correctly reports that suppression as stale. Production usage reached
only through dynamic property access remains invisible to a static import graph, so register those
exports in .fallowrc.json ignoreExports instead (as with the daemon route handlers loaded
through typeof import()).
Optional device selectors for tests:
ANDROID_DEVICE=Pixel_9_Pro_XLorANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5554IOS_DEVICE="iPhone 17 Pro"orIOS_UDID=<udid>
Test App and Maestro Compatibility
The Expo test app lives in examples/test-app. Install its dependencies once:
pnpm test-app:install
For Maestro compatibility, we currently have 15 parser/compat unit tests and one
top-level test-app Maestro flow, examples/test-app/maestro/checkout-form.yaml,
which includes examples/test-app/maestro/helpers/open-checkout-form.yaml.
Run only the parser/compat tests:
pnpm exec vitest run src/compat/maestro/__tests__/replay-flow.test.ts src/compat/__tests__/replay-input.test.ts
Run the Expo test-app flow on iOS:
pnpm test-app:ios -- --device "iPhone 17 Pro"
pnpm ad --session test-app-maestro open "Agent Device Tester" --platform ios --device "iPhone 17 Pro"
pnpm ad --session test-app-maestro wait "Agent Device Tester" 30000 --platform ios --device "iPhone 17 Pro"
pnpm test-app:maestro:ios -- --session test-app-maestro -- --device "iPhone 17 Pro"
pnpm test-app:ios keeps Metro in the foreground after launching the app. Leave
that terminal running and run the agent-device and Maestro commands from a
separate terminal.
When targeting a specific Android emulator or device, build and install the development client on that same target before running Maestro:
pnpm test-app:android -- --device "$ANDROID_DEVICE"
pnpm test-app:maestro:android -- --session test-app-maestro -- --device "$ANDROID_DEVICE"
Guidelines
- Keep dependencies minimal.
- Preserve the CLI’s agent-friendly JSON output.
- Ensure tests open and close sessions explicitly.
- Add/adjust integration tests when introducing new commands.
- Prefer built-in Node APIs over new packages.
Conservative Code Comments
When code deliberately chooses a slower or more conservative path, leave a short inline comment at the decision site. The comment should name:
- the failure or regression the conservative path prevents; and
- the condition that should trigger a revisit.
Use a grep-able CONSERVATIVE: prefix when the choice is expected to outlive the current change.
This applies to defensive fallbacks, temporary guards, disabled fast paths, serialization, retries,
over-preservation, and teardown-to-be-safe behavior.
Examples:
// CONSERVATIVE: Keep the preflight for non-allowlisted runner commands because only the
// allowlist has proven healthy-mutation recovery. Revisit when lifecycle status coverage can
// distinguish every mutating command's terminal state.
// CONSERVATIVE: Preserve external runner artifacts because the checkout does not own their cache
// root. Revisit only if external artifacts get an ownership marker that makes cleanup safe.

Issue labels describe workflow state, not who will do the work. See
