On the SwiftUI iOS client, Add project always starts its existing-folder browser and clone destination at ~/, even when the selected environment has Add project starts in set to ~/projects. The server returns the setting correctly; the native client did not decode or use it.
Carry addProjectBaseDirectory from each environment's server settings into the native environment model. Seed the folder browser, existing-folder path, and clone destination from the trimmed setting, falling back to ~/ when absent or blank. Environment switches reseed from the selected environment. Late settings update untouched paths, including after repository lookup, while user edits, navigation, and active clone operations retain their paths.
Fixes #16507
Triaged bug via the automated issue flow; GitCafe issue #16507. Swift-only fix against t3code/rebuild-mobile-app-swift, under the explicit SwiftUI triage guidance. No server, web, desktop, React Native, authentication, permission, or MCP behavior changes. No merge or auto-land requested.
server.getConfig returns the configured /tmp/issue-16507-projects; filesystem.browse of ~/ returns /home/ubuntu, and of the configured directory returns /tmp/issue-16507-projects. Runtime transcript. This verifies the host contract, not native rendering.git diff --check passed; commit formatter hooks passed. Both requested reviewers (GPT-6.1-Sol and Claude Opus 5.5) returned MERGE on final head 7a5fcf45e1.bash apps/swift-ios/Scripts/ci-test.sh fails with missing required command: xcodebuild on this Linux VM. No Swift compilation, executable regression tests, or native before/after recordings were produced. Native-check log.Evidence status (native rows require Apple-host verification; no substitute web/RN captures):

Final fixture matrix and proof audit: insufficient native proof, eligible only under the explicit platform exception. The audit pins the first late-config correction; the final commit additionally retries seeding after repository lookup, with the same native proof gap.
Evidence index. Native fixtures and captures remain outstanding for Julius under the Swift platform exception. No visual comparison or claim that nothing else changed is made.

Verdict: Needs Human Approval
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change threads an existing server setting into the Swift Add Project flow and changes the initial browser, folder, and clone locations for configured environments while retaining the ~/ fallback. Because this changes the effective user-facing starting default, its behavior warrants deliberate review.
