## Why 20.12.0 and not 20
My first answer was `>=20` — CI's lowest tested line, satisfied by every
runtime dependency, and the
version the issue reporter (and I) installed successfully. **It is
wrong**, and shipping it would
have told npm it is safe to install onto runtimes where the CLI cannot
execute a single line.
The mistake was looking at first-party `src/`. The published artifacts
are four esbuild bundles with
their dependencies **inlined**, and that is where the real floor lives.
Confirmed in
`packages/argent/dist/`:
| blocker | added in | consequence below it |
|---|---|---|
| `import { styleText } from "node:util"` (via inlined `@clack/*`, in
`installer.mjs` and `cli-cmds.mjs`) | **20.12.0** | a **link-time**
`SyntaxError` — `argent init` and every CLI subcommand fail to load |
| `import.meta.dirname` at module scope (`bundled-paths.js`, `cli.js`) |
20.11.0 | `TypeError` during module init |
So 20.12.0 is the lowest version on which the package actually loads. It
is also the lowest line CI
exercises (7 workflows pin Node 20), and it satisfies every runtime
dependency's own constraint
(`@fails-components/webtransport` `>=20`, `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`
`>=18`).
`electron`'s `>=22.12.0` does **not** apply — it is an
`optionalDependency`, and npm does not
engine-check those. Verified: installing `0.18.0` on Node 20.19.5
produces no `EBADENGINE` at all and
electron is never materialized.
I did not go to `>=22` on EOL grounds: it would refuse a runtime seven
CI workflows still test and
that users demonstrably run.
## Docs corrected alongside
- `README.md` said **20.11** — one minor below where the package can
load.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` said **Node.js 18+** — predates what the repo's own
lint toolchain needs
(`eslint@10` requires `^20.19.0 || ^22.13.0 || >=24`).
`packages/argent/README.md` is generated by `scripts/sync-readme.cjs` on
`prepack`, so it follows
automatically and is deliberately untouched.
## What a reviewer should know
**Enforcement is package-manager-dependent**, which matters because
`argent init` installs with
whichever PM the project uses:
| | behaviour on too-old Node |
|---|---|
| npm (default) | `npm warn EBADENGINE` — installs anyway |
| npm + `engine-strict=true` | hard error, install aborts |
| **yarn 1.x** | **hard error by default** |
| **pnpm** | **silently ignores it** |
So this achieves the issue's "warn" but only conditionally its "refuse".
There is no `.npmrc` in the
repo, so contributors are unaffected either way.
**Nothing in the repo validates `engines`** — `repo-hygiene`,
`check-workspace-versions.mjs` and
`pack-mcp.cjs` all ignore unknown manifest keys, and
`next-canary-version.mjs` round-trips the
manifest through `JSON.parse`/`stringify`, which preserves the new field
and stays prettier-clean.
**One inconsistency I did not resolve:**
`packages/argent/scripts/bundle-tools.cjs:383` builds with
`target: "node22"`, which now sits above the declared floor. In practice
the node20→node22 syntax gap
is negligible (tsc targets ES2022 and I found no post-20 *syntax*), so I
left the shipped artifact
alone rather than change build output in a manifest-only PR — but it
should either be lowered to
match or consciously kept. Your call.
## Separate bug found while verifying this
`ios-remote` is broken on the **entire Node 20 line**, independent of
this change: the inlined
`@moq/*` client uses `Promise.withResolvers` (Node 22+) ungated — 6
occurrences in
`dist/tool-server.cjs`, reached from `utils/moq-client.ts` via the
simulator-server blueprint.
Reproduced on Node 20.19.5: `TypeError: Promise.withResolvers is not a
function`.
I deliberately did **not** raise the floor to `>=22` to paper over it —
that would refuse Node 20 for
every user to hide one broken path. `moq-client.ts` already has an
`ensurePolyfill()` that polyfills
`WebSocket`/`WebTransport`; this belongs there. Filed separately.

## Summary
- New top-level CLI commands `argent enable <flag>` / `argent disable
<flag>` / `argent flags`.
- Storage is a small JSON file at `~/.argent/flags.json` by default;
`--scope project` writes to `<project-root>/.argent/flags.json` instead.
- `enable` writes `true`. `disable` removes the entry at the chosen
scope (and deletes the file + empty `.argent/` when it becomes the last
flag).
- `isFlagEnabled` walks project → global, so a project entry shadows the
same key in the global file. To opt a single project out of a
globally-enabled flag, hand-edit `<project>/.argent/flags.json` to
`{"flags":{"name":false}}` — there is no CLI for an explicit override.
- The dispatcher routes the new commands to `@argent/cli` exports;
bundling needs no config changes (only `node:fs|path|os`).
## Behaviour
- `argent enable foo` → writes `{ "flags": { "foo": true } }` to global
file.
- `argent disable foo` → removes `foo` from the global file (clean round
trip with `enable`).
- `argent enable foo --scope project` → writes to
`<project-root>/.argent/flags.json`.
- `argent flags` → lists effective state with the winning scope;
`--json` for scripting.
- Project root is the nearest ancestor with `.argent`, `.git`, or
`package.json` — falls back to cwd when none found.
- POSIX `--` separator: `argent enable -- weird-name` is supported.
- Help (`--help` / `-h`), invalid `--scope`, invalid flag names, missing
arg, unknown flags all produce a clear stderr error and `exit 2`.
- Flag-name validation: `/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*$/`.
- Writes are atomic (tmp file + rename) so concurrent invocations cannot
tear the JSON.
## Reader API
`isFlagEnabled(name)` is exported from `@argent/cli` for future
consumers; it walks project → global and returns `false` when unset.
## Files
- `packages/argent-cli/src/flags.ts` (new) — storage + CLI handlers
- `packages/argent-cli/src/index.ts` — re-exports `enable` / `disable` /
`flags` / `isFlagEnabled` / `FlagScope`
- `packages/argent-cli/test/flags.test.ts` (new) — 41 tests
- `packages/argent-cli/vitest.config.ts` (new)
- `packages/argent-cli/package.json` — description bump
- `packages/argent/src/cli.ts` — dispatcher routes + help text
- `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md` — command tables
## Test plan
- [x] `npm test --workspaces --if-present` → 1085 tests pass (41 in
`@argent/cli`).
- [x] `npm run typecheck:tests --workspaces --if-present` → clean.
- [x] `npm run build` (root `tsc --build`) → clean.
- [x] `npm run build -w @swmansion/argent` (dispatcher + esbuild
bundles) → clean.
- [x] `npx prettier --check .` → clean.
- [x] End-to-end against the built dispatcher in a tmpdir:
- `argent enable my-feature-flag` (global) writes to
`~/.argent/flags.json`.
- `argent enable proj-only --scope project` writes to
`<proj>/.argent/flags.json`.
- `argent disable my-feature-flag` removes the entry; round trip leaves
a clean tree (file + empty `.argent/` removed when no other state lives
there).
- `argent disable foo` preserves sibling flags in the same file.
- `argent flags` lists each flag with the winning scope.
- `argent enable --` errors cleanly; `argent enable -- name-after`
accepts the literal.
- `argent enable foo --scope project` walks up to `.git` /
`package.json` / `.argent`; stray editor configs (`.claude`, `.cursor`,
…) do NOT count as project roots.
- Error paths (`--scope bogus`, no name, `1bad-name`) exit `2` with a
clear message.

* fix: move describe to native devtools
Replace the AX describe path with an app-scoped native hierarchy adapter so coordinate discovery stays on the supported injection flow.
Also add safer targeting and restart guidance to reduce ambiguous Home and cold-start recovery paths.

- Adds native-devtools-ios package with pre-built dylibs (libNativeDevtoolsIos, libKeyboardPatch, libInjectionBootstrap)
- Passive simulator watcher injects dylibs into all booted simulators on tool-server startup, eliminating manual restart requirement
- Lazy network activation: NSURLProtocol interception is opt-in per bundleId via Control socket command, re-activated on reconnect
- New tools: native-find-views, native-full-hierarchy, native-network-logs, native-devtools-status
- dev script: non-fatal argent-private submodule (uses pre-built dylibs when source unavailable)
- Adds Prettier config and format script
- Updates CONTRIBUTING.md with npm run dev workflow and project structure
