Problem

iOS Simulator screenshots fail on Xcode 26: the pinned device hub always passes a numeric --display, which Xcode 26's simctl rejects. Refs https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/28035

Change

  • When the hub rejects a screenshot of an iOS 26-or-older simulator, take it again with simctl io <udid> screenshot on the default display.
  • The Device panel's Save screenshot button goes through the same device service as the device_screenshot tool, so both get the retry.
  • iOS 27 runtimes (which can have several displays), Android, and hosts that route their own requests keep the hub's result.

The simctl retry only runs after the hub has already failed. It is there because the hub, including its latest release 0.22.1, still builds --display=<number> for simctl, and Xcode 26 hosts are still in use (both reporters on the issue).

Verification

Web Device panel on corex against a fake iOS 26 Mac (fake iOS 26 simctl): a stub SSH host whose xcrun rejects --display=1 the way Xcode 26.3 does, and a stub hub that calls it like hub 0.19.1. The server, its SSH device host and the retry script are the real ones.

Before, main: look at the top of the Device panel after Save screenshot: "Screenshot capture failed (500). Try again."

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/40a83a63-353e-4eda-965a-29edb27ca5f5

After, this PR: same click, no error, and the PNG downloads.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2096794c-d3ad-459c-8d2b-b77740974920

The downloaded file: byte-identical to the PNG the fake xcrun wrote for the default-display capture.

  • Test that fails on main: "retries a hub-rejected (400 and 500) screenshot with simctl only on iOS 26 and older" in apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.test.ts. Main returns hub_rejected where the test expects the PNG.
  • fleet-job check (format, lint, knip, typecheck, tests) passed at b4f01a0f91. Captures were taken at 9b18dc5f18; the head only adds a merge of main that touches no device code.
  • Diff is now 5 files, +61/-14 (was +137/-31).

Not shown: a real Xcode 26 Mac (none available), the native iOS client, and a live multi-display iOS 27 simulator.

Implemented with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, reviewed with gpt-6.1-sol in Codex; cut down and re-tested by Claude Fable 5.2 in Claude Code (T3 Code).

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Validated head d55fb49cca04d18e6308cde35c764a773d6702d2. The implementation started from 1aa46d0cdfa4927a77b854752c62ed51868d3048; current base 54c5f25249961a1aa0b61932329092eadbd9d6fc has the same screenshot-operation module. Its new hub 0.19.1 pin still uses numeric display arguments.

  • Regression fixture first failed on the original code: 2 failed, 3 passed. Both legacy cases returned hub_rejected instead of capture bytes or the native capture error.
  • Corex: vp test run apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.test.ts -t screenshot passed all 5 selected cases. vp run check:changed passed formatting, lint, knip, GraphQL checks, affected typechecks and 75 tests across 3 files.
  • Physical shiv, macOS 27.0.1, Xcode 27.1 build 27A9275: seven isolated runtime checks passed, including actual modern help, HTTP PNG success, native-command error status, macOS shell cancellation cleanup, and nested command quoting. Capture-success fixtures in that run were synthetic images, not simulator evidence.
  • Real capture follow-up: imported this head's committed makeDeviceHubOperations on corex and used actual SSH to shiv with the repository's quoteRemoteArg and remoteDeviceEnvironment. With controlled hub HTTP 500 and legacy-help inputs, main returned hub_rejected; this head returned 331,495 PNG bytes, 1206×2622 from a freshly leased iPhone 17 Pro on iOS 27.0. The test executor added the pool's device-set argument and confined temporary files to the task folder. The production capture script and base64 transfer ran unchanged. Every PNG chunk CRC, the image data and IEND validated; I inspected the Settings image embedded in the PR. The allocated capture file was absent afterward, and the device lease was released.

Independent review found one issue, R1: cancellation could leave a temporary capture. Commit d55fb49cca04d18e6308cde35c764a773d6702d2 adds exit/signal cleanup; a fresh independent review marked R1 resolved and found no new issues. The before/after shell check left one file before the fix and zero afterward, preserving ordinary failure exit status.

Unproven: actual Xcode 26.3 and Intel hardware; a complete Device panel/MCP screenshot flow; output near the 64 MiB cap. The test uses injected legacy help and hub rejection, so it does not claim an actual Xcode 26.3 reproduction. The existing hub path stays first, and the fallback is limited to rejected iOS captures with legacy help. A revert removes the fallback cleanly.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 7d1f93d

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Restores screenshots for older iOS simulators using a bounded simctl fallback when the hub rejects capture. Existing authentication and host/device resolution remain intact, and custom upstream routing is unchanged.

Walkthrough

The change adds an optional local command output limit, a conditional simctl fallback for rejected iOS screenshots, and local handling for eligible simulator screenshot requests. Other requests retain existing routing.

Changes: Simulator Screenshot Handling

Layer / File(s)Summary
Local command output limit
apps/server/src/device/DeviceHost.ts, apps/server/src/device/LocalDeviceHost.ts
DeviceHostReady.run accepts the optional maxOutputBytes setting. LocalDeviceHost.run forwards it to the process runner when set.
Legacy iOS screenshot fallback
apps/server/src/device/DeviceHubOperations.ts, apps/server/src/device/DeviceService.test.ts
Screenshot operations try the hub first. After an iOS hub rejection, the code checks simctl io help for the specified legacy display options. If the output matches, it captures and decodes a PNG. Tests cover hub rejection, fallback success, and command failure.
Local simulator screenshot routing
apps/server/src/device/DeviceHubProxy.ts, apps/server/src/device/DeviceHubProxy.test.ts
Eligible simulator screenshot requests without an upstream use devices.screenshot. Successful responses return PNG data with no-store; errors return 404 or 502. Tests cover local capture, failure handling, and upstream forwarding.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

The capture command currently avoids the unsupported selector, but its test would not catch that regression. Strengthen the assertion to protect legacy screenshot capture.

Verification for 8736096ad62b2ea8d8f3b833f567d67c604e013a on corex Linux x64, Node 26.12.1:

  • vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL, affected typechecks, and 91 tests in five files.
  • Current-head screenshot regression table: 5 passed. Standalone production-operation runtime fixture: 6 passed, including failure on main 23075af981e40f7c1071871782d489896c3919f6 and successful recovery on this head.
  • The proxy regression failed before the route fix; proxy and stream tests pass 16/16 after it.
  • Real web Device panel Save screenshot downloaded the expected 351,381-byte fixture PNG. SHA-256 219f41ba0aa1d4cd1a8a2d3553478615dc2b74d6d116e9e6432b924330c92afd. Recording and limitations are in the PR body.
  • Independent review found no new findings. R1 cleanup remains resolved; R4 proxy bypass is resolved. The earlier live-Xcode26 evidence requests remain unverified; Shivam explicitly accepted fixture-backed verification because Apple access is unavailable.

The HTTP rejection, legacy capability text, video, and PNG are fixtures. Actual Xcode26.3/Intel and a genuine legacy SSH Device panel/MCP run remain unverified. The current-head client recording uses the web client, not Electron or the iOS client.

Log bounded screenshot failure fields.

A failed hub request can put a URL with a device query parameter in error.cause. A failed native capture can put command output there. Logging the complete error as a cause annotation can therefore record those values. Log bounded fields such as _tag and reason instead. The coding guidelines state: “Attributes and log annotations stay bounded: no raw payloads, command arguments or output, signed URLs, credentials, query strings, or arbitrary defect text.” (raw.githubusercontent.com)

✅ Addressed in commit b8c6ca5

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Fixed in b8c6ca5501751216eb12cdf99000bdd8ca2f81e3. The warning now contains only the error tag and the enum-valued DeviceOperationError reason. It no longer annotates the underlying cause. vp run check:changed passed, including 91 tests in five files. Screenshot capture and client responses are unchanged.

A production-proxy runtime fixture also passed: its 502 response is unchanged; the warning contains errorTag and reason and excludes the fixture URL and command output.

text
1[06:42:51.834] WARN (#2): Device screenshot failed { errorTag: 'DeviceOperationError', reason: 'command_failed' }
2PASS: production proxy returns safe 502 for the fixture failure.
3PASS: warning excludes fixture URL and command output.

@shivamhwp The supplied code addresses this finding. The warning logs only errorTag and the conditional DeviceOperationError.reason. It no longer logs the underlying cause.

Native iOS evidence for head b8c6ca5501751216eb12cdf99000bdd8ca2f81e3 against main 54c5f25249961a1aa0b61932329092eadbd9d6fc.

The native client has no Save screenshot button. These recordings trigger device_screenshot from native chat and expand the actual MCP result. Each side uses its commit-specific native client, Metro bundle, and unchanged production server code. Main fails; the PR renders a PNG captured from the simulator.

Before, main:

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f1ca5d58-29e5-43d1-a83e-24627a002bae

After, PR head:

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3601bfc3-540b-42f2-86de-d9d442017db0

Environment: shiv, arm64, macOS 27.0.1, Xcode 27.1 build 27A9275, Node 26.12.0, pooled iPhone 17 Pro on iOS 27.0. T3 Code Dev 2.2.0 build 1. Native fingerprints were 887f84d7e8ee2e1063658bf884c9d17f60d6cbb3 on main and 953468b560e21a2a7cfb6d86a69eda1e061efb8a on the PR. Main ran its pinned hub 0.19.1; the PR ran its pinned canary 0.19.0-canary-20261023-1357114.

The legacy simctl command contract is a fixture on Xcode 27.1. A temporary xcrun shim rejects numeric display selection with the reported error and supplies the documented legacy help excerpt. Default-display capture delegates to real xcrun on the leased simulator. The deterministic ACP provider calls T3's real MCP bridge; it supplies no canned tool result or image. OpenSSH, the production SshDeviceHost bootstrap and tunnel, pinned hub, screenshot operation, and native rendering all run normally. The SSH endpoint is loopback on shiv; this does not prove the Linux-to-Mac network route.

Runtime output for the final head recording:

text
112:57:45.201 simctl io <leased-udid> screenshot --display=1 <hub-file>
2 Error: Device does not have a '1' display port
312:57:45.330 simctl help io
4 iOS: supports "internal" or "external". Default is "internal".
512:57:45.535 simctl io <leased-udid> screenshot --type=png <temporary-file>
6 real PNG returned through SSH and MCP
7SHA-256 00c2c2affed7c7ebc15db0594bf68c5db5b2e9fc226fe54a714052367c44905f

The main recording used an earlier equivalent shim; the final before still and after recording use the exported documented shim. Main never reaches legacy help detection. Both fail at numeric display selection. The lease was returned, owned servers/Metro/SSH daemons stopped, and capture files removed.

Still unverified: actual Xcode 26, Intel, T3 Connect, Linux Electron Save screenshot, and working device streaming. The latter visibly failed on the pooled device and is not claimed as a pass. The Linux desktop build passed for this head in Boat job j_jrkrco643yimz4guvjlx, but its recording is blocked now: opening both iPhone 17 Pro and then iPhone 17 through the pool returned “The simulator or emulator could not start.”

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Additional runtime proof for b8c6ca5501751216eb12cdf99000bdd8ca2f81e3: the Linux desktop build's bundled server on physical corex returned a real simulator PNG through the production SSH device host and pinned hub on shiv. This extends the earlier loopback-on-shiv evidence across the actual Linux-to-Mac SSH route.

Build: Boat job j_jrkrco643yimz4guvjlx, vp run build:desktop, exit 0. Electron 44.10.0, bundled Node 24.22.1. The app ran with isolated state. Its bundled CLI submitted a deterministic ACP fixture turn to that server; the fixture invoked real device_open and device_screenshot through T3's MCP bridge. This was a runtime test, not a click on Save screenshot.

The Mac used Xcode 27.1, iOS 27.0, and a fresh pooled iPhone 17 Pro. The pinned canary hub and production SSH bootstrap ran unchanged. The fixture only modeled legacy xcrun behavior and supplied a deterministic agent. The shim rejected the hub's numeric display request; default capture delegated to real xcrun on that leased simulator.

The simulator boot blocker cleared. The remaining desktop before/after recording is blocked by the computer-use driver: it reports background_unavailable, while the configured workflow requires background input. No desktop Save screenshot click or download is claimed. Actual Xcode 26, Intel, T3 Connect, and working video streaming remain unverified. The desktop/server, temporary SSH daemon, and pool lease were stopped or returned.

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Rechecked current main and rebased the unchanged fix. This evidence uses head b14d43a95c3a8fee13a7044efbdd9a86182fd663 and base cefb544af3c98224874419198c0359b652ca3c94. Main still pins expo-device-hub 0.19.1 and sends numeric display IDs. No other PR supersedes this fix. Fresh independent review found no remaining findings.

Boat job j_3w443vnfsx5uh4tn5w4a exited 0. It ran check:changed against that base: format, lint, knip, GraphQL, typechecks for three packages, and 92 tests in five files passed. It also built both Linux desktop apps. The live GitHub checks passed at this head.

The recordings use the genuine Linux Electron builds on physical corex, isolated state and display, production SSH host bootstrap/tunnel, and the real pinned 0.19.1 hub on shiv. The simulator is iPhone 18 Pro, iOS 27.0, on arm64 macOS 27.0.1 and Xcode 27.1 build 27A9275. Simlock still could not boot; the normal SSH simulator host worked.

A temporary xcrun command shim models legacy simctl: it rejects numeric display selection and returns a legacy help excerpt. Default-display capture delegates to real xcrun on this simulator. HTTP responses, video, and PNGs are real. The deterministic ACP provider invokes the real MCP bridge and supplies no canned tool result.

Linux desktop before, current main: clicking Save screenshot displays Screenshot capture failed (500).

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/58a94b62-64e6-4f5b-a528-d55ea3942235

Linux desktop after, current head: the same button completes a real PNG download. The isolated Electron session's download directory was configured through Browser.setDownloadBehavior; the button, HTTP request, proxy, service and capture ran unchanged. The GTK picker also opened in a separate attempt, but background keyboard delivery could not complete that picker.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2fd2b0fd-6460-43c0-bd22-be96fc1f9fcb

Electron reported Browser.downloadProgress with state: completed, 138,215 bytes. The downloaded PNG is 1206×2622, SHA-256 c08b7d0fc6f9e608edae977688a3ea9827fb4f615d35ad52ef54ceb4e1a55cfb. The simulator was showing an unrelated stale Metro URL error during this desktop capture; the PNG contains that screen.

Native iOS after, current head: submit Take screenshot from chat, expand the completed tool, and view the real returned image. The native client and Metro source are at current main; this PR changes only server files, so mobile source is identical at head. The installed native fingerprint is 887f84d7e8ee2e1063658bf884c9d17f60d6cbb3. The backend is the current-head Linux desktop server, reached over the tailnet, with the same real SSH simulator host.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/930d9125-bcf3-49c8-8884-cf7ce15b59a3

The native before/after baseline from the earlier build remains at https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/28353#issuecomment-6578064907, with its exact commits named there. A fresh native before recording against current main did not finish: after restarting the backend, the first attempt hit a fixture provider-session reopen error; a fresh prepared thread then hit repeated remote device daemon outages. Those attempts are not counted as screenshot repros. Current-main failure is demonstrated by the desktop recording above.

The host's native command log for the successful desktop download shows screenshot --display=1, then simctl help io, then screenshot --type=png with no display override. Checks and runtime output:

Unverified: actual Xcode 26.x help text and live capture, Intel hardware, T3 Connect, and a fresh native before recording at the current base. No Xcode 26 installation was available; Apple download access is unavailable, and fixture verification was explicitly requested. The native current-head pass and Linux desktop before/after are complete.

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

The evidence review requested live Xcode 26 before/after recordings. I rechecked availability: shiv has only /Applications/Xcode.app, Xcode 27.1 build 27A9275. Applications, Downloads and Spotlight found no Xcode 26 installation or archive; corex has no archive either.

Live Xcode 26 verification remains unproven. The task's explicit verification scope accepts fixture proof in place of that unavailable toolchain: “Finish with what you can prove without it: current-head tests, a reproduction of the code path with a fixture or fake where the live service is missing, and real-client captures of anything you can run. Name the unverified live path plainly in Evidence, then post Ready to merge with the Checked and Evidence lines.” No Apple login or download is pending.

For head b14d43a95c3a8fee13a7044efbdd9a86182fd663, the evidence at https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/28353#issuecomment-6604996286 covers that scope: 92 passing tests, current-base/current-head Linux desktop button recordings, a completed real PNG download through the pinned hub and SSH host with the legacy command shim, and current-head native iOS rendering. This proves the exercised fallback and client paths; it does not prove actual Xcode 26 help wording or capture. Incorrect legacy detection would leave the original hub error in place, so that remaining compatibility uncertainty is a possible missed fix. Required checks still pass, and the only code-review thread remains resolved.

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Rebased on current main 935818e422f9b58c46e14d70f4ef386fa3575105. New head is 0741bd75391f8ee8ec0591e820931d36d55ada9e. All four patches compare equal in git range-diff; no implementation change was needed.

I checked main beyond GitHub's file-list limit. The screenshot operation, proxy, local host and runner, SSH command script, hub pin, device MCP handlers and image conversion, and web/shared screenshot client are unchanged from the recorded head b14d43a95c3a8fee13a7044efbdd9a86182fd663. Main still lacks the fallback. New device changes add EAS secret resolution, tolerate missed SSH health probes and explain Windows bootstrap failures. They do not change macOS capture or screenshot delivery. Independent review of the first base move found no findings; I also reviewed the subsequent Windows error changes.

The prior desktop before/after and native iOS result recordings at https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/28353#issuecomment-6604996286 still apply to those unchanged screenshot paths. Those are the original builds, including Electron 44.10.0. They are not new recordings of main's Electron 44.10.1. The current head is checked separately below.

Unverified remains actual Xcode 26 help text and live capture, Intel hardware, T3 Connect and a fresh native-before recording at this base. The task explicitly accepts fixture proof because legacy Xcode access is unavailable, as recorded at https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/pull/28353#issuecomment-6607598577.

Assert that the fallback uses the default display.

The mock accepts any sh command ending in phone, so the fallback test would still pass if the script added a numeric display selector that legacy simctl rejects. Inspect the shell script before returning the mocked PNG, and assert that it invokes simctl io "$1" screenshot without a numeric display selector.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @shivamhwp

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Fixed in bd6202617a13dcd9527ab82ad263a482cf39f71e. The existing shell-command mock now checks that capture invokes simctl for the requested UDID and omits every --display selector before returning its result. Unexpected commands still fail. Injecting --display=1 made both legacy rows fail at the new assertion, with the other three rows passing; the production script was then restored. check:changed passes all 98 tests, and all 10 SSH-host tests pass. This follow-up changes only the test.

@shivamhwp The supplied test code addresses this finding. The mock checks the requested UDID and screenshot command, rejects --display, and still fails on unexpected commands. Your reported mutation test confirms that both legacy cases detect the regression.

15- Proof for a bug fix depends on the bug. Logic, data, state, and protocol bugs get a failing test first (the fewest that fail on `main` for that reason, in an existing case of the module's test file where one fits), then the fix. Purely visual bugs (spacing, colour, alignment, a layout shift) get before/after captures as their proof and no test: do not add UI tests for nitpicks, and do not ask for one in review when a capture already shows it. A server-only fix with no visible surface ships the test plus a short runtime transcript.

Verified head bd6202617a13dcd9527ab82ad263a482cf39f71e against base 67eebaca23f8f7bc46e8817434087fc9c5acf8e3 on physical corex, Node 26.12.1 and Vitest 5.0.5. check:changed passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL, three package typechecks and 98 tests in five files. The 10 SSH-host tests also passed.

The final commit strengthens the existing screenshot test. Injecting --display=1 into the production capture script made both legacy rows fail at the new assertion, while the other three rows passed. The production script was restored before the successful checks. The four implementation patches are unchanged from the recorded head b14d43a95c3a8fee13a7044efbdd9a86182fd663.

Desktop before/after, actual downloaded PNG and native iOS result retain their original commit and build labels. Those recordings use production SSH and pinned hub 0.19.1 with a command shim for legacy selector rejection and help; capture itself uses real simctl. They are not new recordings of this head. The new base migrates typed errors but preserves the screenshot request, successful download and failure message. Current-head tests cover the changed integration.

Unverified: actual Xcode 26.x help and live capture without a shim, Intel hardware, T3 Connect, and a fresh native-before recording at this base. The task explicitly accepts fixture proof while Xcode 26 access is unavailable.

Resolved the main conflict at head 23355c5b140c6e354a0b74c393bc2dff841fe4c5, based on 202d5b5616e3edf65706371e2b8a9c4f486d0a96. Main adds simulator-discovery retention and timeouts but still lacks the screenshot fallback. The mechanical resolution preserves both listing and capture constants and renames the screenshot test fixture option to platformAvailable. No screenshot behavior changed.

A fresh independent Codex review found no findings. The original client recordings remain evidence of the unchanged capture and PNG-delivery paths under the accepted legacy shim scope. They retain their original commit/build labels; they do not show this head or its newer native header.

Unverified: actual Xcode 26.x help text and live capture without the shim, Intel hardware, T3 Connect and a fresh native-before recording at this base. Fixture verification remains the explicitly accepted scope while Xcode 26 access is unavailable.

Reviewed implementation head d1b423a7739e6403adfce9b14a2d20a6753e869c. It removes the simctl help-text probe and retries a rejected hub screenshot on the default display for iOS 26 or earlier. iOS 27 keeps the hub error, preserving its multi-display path. A fresh independent review found no code findings.

The review did find an evidence gap: the earlier after recordings used iOS 27, so they no longer demonstrate the current fallback branch. They are historical evidence, not current-head verification. New real-client capture evidence for the iOS 26 branch is pending. Actual Xcode 26 remains unavailable; the explicit fixture/shim verification scope still applies.

Main's subsequent move to 83a3674ffd84ffb33de768210c806cb1ac53fd80 does not change the device service, screenshot clients or MCP paths. This report does not mark the PR ready while the client-evidence gap remains.

Checked CodeRabbit's description finding against live head 19ecd0dc7fb2efe5d11bd8d52bb89785cd9c10bd. The help-text walkthrough describes the old implementation. The current source tries the hub first, then permits default-display capture only for rejected iOS screenshots whose runtime major version is 26 or earlier. There is no help probe. The PR body describes that code and now follows the current template, including why this qualifies as a focused fix of an obvious bug under CONTRIBUTING.md.

The current client-evidence gap remains open. The existing shiv verification task is recording the real client against this head with a clearly labeled legacy fixture, as authorized for unavailable Xcode 26 access. Historical iOS 27 recordings do not prove the current runtime-gated fallback. Required checks pass and Macroscope explicitly carries its implementation approval to this merge head.

Fresh macOS desktop evidence at head 19ecd0dc7fb2efe5d11bd8d52bb89785cd9c10bd and base 83a3674ffd84ffb33de768210c806cb1ac53fd80. I inspected the recordings, end states, downloaded PNG and runtime traces. Both desktop bundles built successfully from clean tracked source. Environment: macOS 27.0.1 arm64, installed Xcode 27.1, Electron 44.10.0, Node 24.22.1. Electron 44.10.0 was cached; the lockfile's 44.10.1 download stalled.

These are real desktop Save screenshot actions against the pinned production server, DeviceService, DeviceHubOperations and DeviceHubProxy. The LocalDeviceHost layer, device metadata, hub HTTP/WebSocket replies and xcrun capture output are fixtures. The unavailable legacy infrastructure is simulated under the accepted verification scope. The PNG visibly says it is canned. There is no actual Xcode 26, real simulator, pinned-hub or SSH proof in these recordings.

Base, simulated iOS 26.5: the button returns HTTP 500, shows the error and produces no download.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6a6c18dc-2719-4eed-b831-3f288d011e54

Head, the same simulated iOS 26.5: the hub fixture returns 500, the actual service runs its default-display shell script, the proxy returns HTTP 200 image/png, and Electron completes the PNG download. Native file-picker selection alone is bypassed with will-download/setSavePath in the isolated session.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e8ccda64-de25-45e8-81ef-2a73af4b7a8a

The actual downloaded file was decoded and opened in macOS Preview. It is 780x1200, 53,489 bytes, SHA-256 7539c8de721b55cf6ecdd3a913fa8bda0c51bf31afff00e479db6cc615cae18b, matching the labeled canned fixture.

Head, simulated iOS 27.0: the button keeps the hub rejection, returns HTTP 502, and runs no fallback or second download.

Runtime trace, correlated with the actions:

4head iOS27: hub POST 500; DeviceOperationError reason hub_rejected; proxy POST 502
5exactly one fallback span and one completed download, both iOS26

The production script ran through real sh, mktemp, traps and base64, with xcrun replaced by a canned-PNG copier. It invoked simctl io fixture-ios26 screenshot --type=png <tempfile> without --display or a help probe. Exit 0, 71,321 base64 stdout bytes. Its temporary file was confirmed removed by the exit trap.

Without fixture hooks, current-head focused tests passed:

This is a fresh 101-test run, distinct from the earlier 102-test Boat check. Full required CI is also green on this head. Test apps, checkouts, processes and lock were cleaned on shiv.

Unverified: actual Xcode 26 simctl capture without substitutes, real legacy/pinned-hub/SSH integration, current native iOS flow, native save-picker selection, live iOS 27 multi-display capture. Native follow-up and independent evidence review remain pending. No ready claim yet.

[gpt-6.1-sol][Codex] on behalf of shivam.

Fresh round-two independent Codex review at head 19ecd0dc7fb2efe5d11bd8d52bb89785cd9c10bd, base 83a3674ffd84ffb33de768210c806cb1ac53fd80, resolved R1 within the explicitly accepted fixture scope. No findings remain. The current-head desktop captures and 101 focused-test output exercise the actual production service/proxy/client with simulated iOS 26 metadata, hub failure and xcrun PNG output. Base fails; head executes the fallback and completes the download; the simulated iOS 27 case preserves the hub error. Parent and independent reviewer inspected the evidence. The reviewer ran no new tests or mutations.

The current native iOS flow remains unverified. The separate shiv attempt waited one minute for ios-sim and exited 3 because both global device slots were occupied by Windows and macOS jobs. It created no build and touched no simulator. Corex Device tools expose no local Android device. The historical native recording proves rendering only. The reviewer accepted that limitation alongside current gate tests and desktop execution because this PR changes neither native UI nor the MCP image contract. There is no pending native job or Apple login request.

Actual Xcode 26 capture without substitutes, real pinned-hub/SSH integration, current native flow, native save-picker completion and live iOS 27 multi-display capture remain unverified. These limits are retained in the PR body. The fixture recordings do not prove those paths.

Live ready check: the head and base above are current; required checks pass; both review threads are resolved; Macroscope carries its implementation approval to this merge head; PR is open, non-draft and mergeable without conflicts; auto-merge is disabled. Ready for Shivam's review under the accepted verification scope. No merge was performed.

Updated head 18dc8753a9f6d304bbf5805379981cb6d47837e1, checked base 73fb49d0b3a61bff74aebc362fc6c17d6c0d39be. Merged current main without conflicts and reduced the diff from 6 files, +178/-33, to 5 files, +137/-31 by removing duplicate proxy tests and narrative comments. Screenshot behavior is unchanged from the previous PR head.

The default-display regression test fails on main 822671581383a357c5dc8d3ea9984b408c3e03c6 with hub_rejected instead of PNG bytes. Device code is unchanged between that commit and the checked base. This remains fixture-level unit proof. The updated tree passes 88 focused tests and check:changed, including 101 tests in five files. The first check attempt lost two processes while the shared 12 GiB container was at its memory limit; rerunning with a 1536 MiB Node heap and one Vitest worker passed every step.

Real capture proof is still missing; this PR is not ready. The follow-up on installed Xcode 27.1 build 27A9275 prepared exact main 20bb685e68fda77f60f9324f0db96d4ef06902d2 with actual Replay test data and the unmodified pinned hub, and reached its Device panel. Its full 60-minute device-lock wait exited 3 because both shiv slots remained occupied. No device was opened and no screenshot or PNG download was attempted. Xcode 27.1 numeric-display behavior and this head's real capture remain unknown. Servers, browsers, worktrees and lock requests were cleaned up. No sign-ins or downloads occurred.

Runtime inventory confirms pre-existing iOS 26.5 build 23F77 as well as iOS 27.0 and 27.1. The earlier mounted-volume inventory missed 26.5. Xcode 26.3 and the original iOS 26.2 runtime remain absent. Earlier fixture captures and the separate Simlock upstream capture do not prove the pinned-hub behavior.

Next is the real default-set capture on main with Xcode 27.1 when a slot is available. If main rejects the numeric display, test this head on the same device. Only if main captures successfully should the original Xcode 26.3 build 17C529 plus iOS 26.2/iPhone 17 Pro be requested side by side, keeping Xcode 27 globally selected. Current native iOS, native save-picker completion and live iOS 27 multi-display capture also remain unverified.

Required CI and test output for this head. All required checks pass. The two review threads are resolved. The PR is open, non-draft, mergeable, and auto-merge is disabled. The real-device evidence gap prevents a ready claim.

The screenshot response omits Cache-Control: no-store, no-transform, so authenticated PNGs can be stored by browser or shared caches and stale captures can be served. This early return bypasses proxyHttp, which adds that protection; include the same header on this response.

Fixed in 7d1f93d: the simctl screenshot response now sends the same cache-control: no-store, no-transform that proxyHttp adds.
