* fix(ios): unify multi-touch gestures on two-finger synthesis + hinted unsupported errors

Make RunnerSynthesizedGesture the single iOS multi-touch engine and drop the older
incompatible models:

- rotateGesture now drives the two-finger XCTest synthesis path (dx=dy=0, scale=1,
  degrees), mirroring the pinch migration in #634. The native XCUIElement.rotate(withVelocity:)
  injected a single synthetic rotation that React Native's rotation recognizer did not read
  reliably; synthesis fixes it. velocity is ignored on iOS (kept in the wire contract for
  compatibility; rotation direction comes from the sign of degrees).
- pinch is now synthesis on iOS and a clear UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION on tvOS/macOS. The macOS
  coordinate double-tap+drag heuristic (performCoordinatePinch) is removed: synthesis is
  iOS-only, so macOS multi-touch is reported honestly as unsupported rather than approximated.
- RunnerInteractionOutcome.unsupported now carries an actionable hint, mapped to ErrorPayload.hint
  (#639). Every unsupported gesture/tvOS path returns a concise message plus a next-step hint
  (existing messages kept verbatim).

Net: on iOS, pinch/rotate/transform all flow through one synthesis primitive. swipe/scroll/pan/
fling remain single-finger drags (correct, unchanged).

Coverage: examples/test-app/replays/gesture-lab.ad exercises pinch + rotate against the gesture
lab and asserts "pinch changed yes" / "rotate changed yes".

* fix(ios): fail-fast macOS pinch + align capability/docs with synthesis-only

Follow-through for removing the macOS coordinate pinch path (the runner now returns
UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION for macOS pinch): reject it at admission instead of round-tripping.

- capabilities.ts: pinch now matches rotate-gesture/transform-gesture (Android + iOS
  simulator only); macOS dropped. Removes the now-unused isMacOsOrMobileAppleSimulator helper.
- capabilities.test.ts: pinch expected unsupported on macOS and tvOS.
- website/docs/docs/commands.md: pinch listed for Android + iOS simulators only (removed from
  the macOS app-session list); documents that iOS rotate ignores the optional velocity arg
  (synthesis uses a fixed duration; direction comes from the sign of degrees).

Addresses PR #645 review HIGH #2 and MEDIUM #3.

* fix(ios): surface a hinted unsupported error for synthesis gestures at admission

Removing macOS pinch from the capability matrix makes macOS pinch (and the already-excluded
rotate-gesture/transform-gesture on macOS/tvOS/physical iOS) fail fast in ensureGenericCommandReady
before reaching the runner. That left the runner's macOS-specific hint unreachable on the daemon
path, so callers only saw the generic "<cmd> is not supported on this device".

Add an optional unsupportedHint to the capability matrix and surface it at admission, so the
synthesis-only gestures fail fast (no runner round-trip) AND return an actionable hint pointing to
where they work (Android + iOS simulator). Applied to pinch / rotate-gesture / transform-gesture.

Addresses PR #645 review (P2: route macOS pinch to the hinted failure).

agent-device iOS Runner

This folder contains the lightweight XCUITest runner used to provide element-level automation for Apple-family targets.

Intent

  • Provide a minimal XCTest target that exposes UI automation over a small HTTP server.
  • Allow local builds via xcodebuild and caching for faster subsequent runs.
  • Support simulator prebuilds where compatible.

Status

Current internal runner for iOS, tvOS, and macOS desktop automation.

Protocol and maintenance references:

UITest Runner File Map

AgentDeviceRunnerUITests/RunnerTests is split into focused files to reduce context size for contributors and LLM agents.

  • RunnerTests.swift: shared state/constants, setUp(), and testCommand() entry flow.
  • RunnerTests+Models.swift: wire protocol models (Command, Response, snapshot payload models).
  • RunnerTests+Environment.swift: environment and CLI argument helpers (RunnerEnv).
  • RunnerTests+Transport.swift: TCP request handling and HTTP parsing/encoding.
  • RunnerTests+CommandExecution.swift: command dispatch (execute*) and command switch.
  • RunnerTests+Lifecycle.swift: activation/retry/stabilization and recording lifecycle helpers.
  • RunnerTests+Interaction.swift: tap/drag/swipe/type/back/home/rotate/app-switcher helpers.
  • RunnerTests+Snapshot.swift: fast/raw snapshot builders and include/filter helpers.
  • RunnerTests+SystemModal.swift: SpringBoard/system modal detection and modal snapshot shaping.
  • RunnerTests+ScreenRecorder.swift: nested ScreenRecorder implementation.

Protocol Notes

  • The daemon posts JSON commands to POST /command on the runner's local HTTP listener.
  • The runner responds with a JSON envelope shaped as { ok, data?, error? }.
  • The protocol is internal to agent-device; when adding or renaming commands, update both wire models and the protocol tests/docs in the same change.
