Hubert Gancarczyk 64468f86e7 docs: correct what the deviceless test and the e2e cleanup phase claim
- flow-deviceless.test.ts said the `devices` key is "stripped at record time
  and re-injected at replay". It is not stripped — stripDeviceKeys touches
  only the target keys, and flow-tools.test.ts asserts the opposite. The empty
  args in that fixture are a recording of the UNSCOPED sweep.
- 90-cleanup.sh said it stops "any simulator-servers this run started". The
  unscoped `{}` is now the machine-wide sweep across every device-owned
  namespace. Say so, and say why unscoped is right in that one place (the
  run's HOME is the sandbox, so the server it discovers is its own).
- 20-validation.sh skipped stop-all-simulator-servers entirely, so neither the
  `.strict()` rejection of the `udids` slip nor the `unmatched` report had any
  E2E coverage. Both now have a targeted case; the bogus-id scope reaps
  nothing, so it is safe to run there.

Full Argent E2E harness

A release-gating end-to-end test that starts from nothing but a swmansion-argent-*.tgz bundle and exercises the whole product: the install flow, every CLI command, all 70 tools' argument validation, and a happy-path run of every tool that applies against real devices.

Run it on the real Linux box and the real Mac before a release.

Quick start

# from the repo root, with a swmansion-argent-*.tgz present there:
bash scripts/e2e-full/run-e2e.sh

# a subset of phases:
bash scripts/e2e-full/run-e2e.sh --phase install,introspection,validation

# offline core only, driving the unpacked bundle (no npm install, fast):
bash scripts/e2e-full/run-e2e.sh --skip-install --phase introspection,validation

A markdown report is written to scripts/e2e-full/results/report-<ts>.md and the raw per-case log to results/e2e-<ts>.jsonl. The process exits non-zero if any hard assertion failed (skips do not fail the run).

What it does (phases)

phase needs covers
install npm + network npm i -g <tgz>, bundled binaries, init (global + --local), update, uninstall, telemetry, MCP-config generation
introspection — --version/--help, tools, tools describe for all 70 tools, feature flags, server start/status/logs/stop, link/unlink
validation — for every tool: missing-required / bad-enum / bad-type rejection (deterministic, no hardware)
android Android emulator happy-path of every touch/gesture/screenshot/app-lifecycle tool
chromium Electron (bundled optional dep) + a display boots a generated Electron app; drives CDP tools (scroll/drag/tabs/cookies/storage)
rn ~/dev/bluesky + Android device debugger + react/native profiler + network chain against the real Bluesky app

Tiers auto-skip (with a recorded reason) when their prerequisites are missing, so a partial run still produces a meaningful report. iOS / tvOS / Vega tiers are intentionally out of scope.

Isolation

Everything runs under a throwaway HOME and npm prefix ($(mktemp -d)), so the real machine's ~/.argent, editor MCP configs, and global packages are never touched — safe to run on a shared box. Add --keep to inspect the sandbox after.

Providing a device

The device tiers need a booted device. Two ways:

  • Inject an already-booted one (recommended on shared/CI machines): --android-serial emulator-5554 (the harness attaches, doesn't boot/teardown it).
  • Let the harness boot it: --android-avd Pixel_9a (uses boot-device).

The Chromium tier needs no device — it generates and boots its own Electron app (requires DISPLAY, or xvfb-run on a headless Linux box).

RN (Bluesky) tier

E2E_RN_DIR=~/dev/bluesky E2E_RN_PKG=xyz.blueskyweb.app \
  bash scripts/e2e-full/run-e2e.sh --phase rn --android-serial <serial>

Assumes the Bluesky dev-client is already built and installed on the device (E2E_RN_PREBUILT, the default). Pass E2E_RN_BUILD=1 to let it run expo run:android first (slow). It starts Metro itself and tears it down.

Flags

--tgz PATH             tarball to test (default: newest swmansion-argent-*.tgz at repo root)
--phase a,b,c          subset of: install introspection validation android chromium rn
--skip-install         drive the unpacked bundle directly (offline phases only; skips `install`)
--system               install to the REAL global prefix (dedicated release machine only)
--android-serial S     use an already-booted Android device
--android-avd NAME     boot this AVD via boot-device
--keep                 leave the sandbox dir for inspection

Layout

run-e2e.sh          orchestrator: env setup, phase dispatch, report, exit code
lib/common.sh       logging, argent_cli/run_tool, assert_* helpers, server + screenshot helpers
lib/discover-tools.sh   parses `argent tools describe` into per-tool arg models
lib/report.py       JSONL -> markdown (per-phase + per-tool coverage matrix + failures)
phases/*.sh         one run_phase() per phase
results/            generated JSONL + report (gitignored)
