Michał Pierzchała c77bc40d48 refactor(daemon): Wave 6 — migrate clipboard, app-switcher, trigger-app-event, settings, alert, react-native and capabilities onto request-bound runtimes (R55–R63) (#2021)
* refactor(daemon): migrate clipboard onto request-bound runtimes (R55)

Wave 6 unit 1 of the ADR 0019 platform-free daemon migration (#1739).
`clipboard` leaves the legacy dispatch projection: admission is now the
action-selected `readClipboard`/`writeClipboard` fact the parsed subcommand
names, and the only execution is that one bound operation.

- new `@agent-device/contracts/clipboard-runtime` facet, riding the existing
  `Interactor` seam through `interactor-operation-binding.ts`; read and write
  are separate cells because a provider can genuinely expose one half only.
- every owner states its own cells: Apple gains a `system/` facts module
  (simulator or the macOS host, matching the retired
  `supportsHostOrSimulatorSurface` closure), Android admits every real kind,
  Linux the desktop device, and HarmonyOS/Vega/web refuse -- none ever carried
  a bucket. Limrun reuses the local Android interactor and refuses on iOS;
  WebDriver rides interactor reachability like `back`/`home`.
- retires the `core/dispatch.ts` clipboard arm and handler, the descriptor's
  capability bucket and `dispatch` leaf, and the Apple plugin's clipboard
  admission closure. `handlers/session.ts` loses its inline handler (and its
  last `dispatchCommand`/`requireCommandSupported` imports) to the new
  `handlers/session-clipboard.ts`.
- `bindLocalInteractorOperationSet` collapses the byte-identical local
  interaction bind list Android and Linux each held a copy of.

* refactor(daemon): migrate app-switcher onto request-bound runtimes (R56)

Wave 6 unit 2 of the ADR 0019 platform-free daemon migration (#1739).
`app-switcher` leaves the legacy dispatch projection: admission is the owner's
`appSwitcher` fact and the only execution is that one bound operation, resolved
by the generic route alongside back/home/orientation/tv-remote.

- new `@agent-device/contracts/app-switcher-runtime` facet on the shared
  `Interactor` seam, bound through the interactor catalog.
- Apple states one springboard reading for `home` and `app-switcher` (parity:
  the retired `supportsAppAndDeviceLifecycle` closure gated both off the same
  per-AppleOS row, so macOS and watchOS refuse); Android admits every real kind;
  HarmonyOS admits both kinds, restating the retired overlay membership;
  Linux/Vega/web refuse. Limrun reuses the local Android interactor and refuses
  on iOS; WebDriver rides interactor reachability.
- retires the `core/dispatch.ts` arm, the capability bucket, the `dispatch`
  leaf, `HARMONYOS_SUPPORTED_COMMANDS` membership, the Apple plugin closure, and
  the now-readerless `appAndDeviceLifecycle` row in the per-AppleOS table.
- router tests that used `app-switcher` as their legacy-dispatch stand-in move
  onto bound operations; the typed-error `supportedOn` test moves to `perf`, the
  one command that keeps a capability-matrix row after this wave.

* refactor(daemon): migrate trigger-app-event onto request-bound runtimes (R57)

Wave 6 unit 3 of the ADR 0019 platform-free daemon migration (#1739).
`trigger-app-event` leaves the legacy dispatch projection: admission is the
owner's `triggerAppEvent` fact and the only execution is that one bound
operation.

The split follows ADR 0019 §2 — a facet input names no command, request, or CLI
flag. The event name pattern, the payload size limit, and the per-platform
`AGENT_DEVICE_*_APP_EVENT_URL_TEMPLATE` are daemon policy and stay in
`core/app-events.ts`; what reaches the owner is a resolved URL to open. They
also stay downstream of admission, where the retired `dispatchCommand` ran them,
so an unsupported device still reports its unsupported cell rather than an
argument error.

- new `@agent-device/contracts/app-event-runtime` facet on the shared
  `Interactor` seam, bound through the interactor catalog.
- Apple admits every leaf with a constructible interactor (no closure ever gated
  this command beyond its bucket), Android every real kind, and
  Linux/HarmonyOS/Vega/web refuse. It is the one system leaf both Limrun legs
  serve, since each implements `open`; WebDriver rides interactor reachability.
- retires the `core/dispatch.ts` arm and handler, the capability bucket, the
  `dispatch` leaf, and the session route's last
  capability-gate-then-`dispatchCommand` thunk: every leaf on that route now
  supplies a bind-and-execute thunk.
- the end-to-end delivery tests keep their shell-level assertions and move onto
  the migrated composition.

* refactor(daemon): migrate settings onto request-bound runtimes and retire the legacy dispatcher (R58)

Wave 6 unit 4 of the ADR 0019 platform-free daemon migration (#1739). `settings`
was the last `DISPATCH_HANDLERS` arm, so this change closes the command and
retires the legacy command dispatcher whole.

- new `@agent-device/contracts/settings-runtime` facet on the shared
  `Interactor` seam, bound through the interactor catalog. What reaches the
  owner is its own settings vocabulary (setting, state, resolved app id, typed
  coordinates); the CLI parse, the macOS setting-name gate, the clear-app-state
  app-id check and the coordinate typing are daemon policy and stay daemon-side,
  downstream of admission where the retired leaf ran them.
- Apple shares clipboard's exact host-or-simulator reading (the retired
  admission intersected the `settings` bucket with the same
  `supportsHostOrSimulatorSurface` closure); Android admits every real kind;
  HarmonyOS matches its retired overlay membership; Linux/Vega/web refuse.
  Limrun splits Android-reuse / iOS-refusal like `app-switcher`; WebDriver
  refuses unconditionally, since its interactor declares settings unsupported.
- retires `dispatchCommand`, `dispatchWithInteractor`, `dispatchKnownCommand`,
  `DISPATCH_HANDLERS`, `listRegisteredDispatchCommandNames`, and the request
  router's `executeGenericPlatformCommand` fallback. `core/dispatch.ts` keeps
  only `dispatchGestureViewport`, whose last consumers are replay/test.

Retiring the dispatcher surfaced two callers broken since Wave 5 moved `press`
onto a bound runtime: react-native overlay dismissal and the opt-in interaction
no-change retry both called `dispatchCommand(device, 'press', …)`, which has
thrown `INVALID_ARGS: Unknown command: press` on main since R48. Both now run
the same bound `tapPoint` every other touch leaf uses. The retry declares its
own callback seam rather than importing runtime admission, so the policy stays
readable without the binding stack — and that inversion, plus the dispatcher's
retirement, drops the largest type-level import cycle from 25 files to 21.

* refactor(daemon): migrate alert, react-native and capabilities onto facts (R59/R61/R63)

Wave 6 units 5, 7 and 9 of the ADR 0019 platform-free daemon migration (#1739),
plus the residue reclassification the tracker asks for as an analysis task.

R59 `alert` — new `@agent-device/contracts/alert-runtime` facet with four
action-selected legs (`readAlert`, `awaitAlert`, `acceptAlert`, `dismissAlert`)
on the shared `Interactor` seam. The daemon route admits and binds exactly the
leg the parsed subcommand names, and the poll and retry windows move to the
owners with it: how long a transient sheet takes to appear, and how many times
to re-ask a runner that says it is not there yet, are family mechanics, not
request policy. `src/platforms/apple/alert.ts` now holds the Apple windows
verbatim (with the macOS-helper / XCTest-runner split), and Android's legs read
the same presented tree `snapshot` publishes, which is why their occlusion
reading still holds.

Apple's cell is the retired `supportsAlertSurface` closure restated as facts —
the host-or-simulator reading widened by physical iOS — and that closure was the
per-AppleOS capability table's last reader, so `src/platforms/apple/capabilities.ts`
goes with it.

R61 `react-native` — the command's device work moved onto a bound `tapPoint`
with R48; this retires the capability gate that still stood in front of it and
moves admission ahead of the observing capture, so an owner that cannot dismiss
an overlay refuses without first spending a snapshot on it. That exposed a real
defect: the request handler chain never forwarded the request's runtime bindings
to this route, so the dismissal leg had been reaching a missing gateway ever
since R48 — only the no-overlay-detected path returned early enough to hide it.
Fixed, with a chain-level regression test.

R63 `capabilities` — the projection now reads each command's own declared
`platformExecution` uses instead of a hand-written map plus a "no capability
bucket means supported everywhere" fallback. That fallback is what let a stopped
Android AVD advertise `snapshot press fill` it cannot run, and a Vega VVD
advertise every migrated command; both collapse to the fact-derived set here.
The command itself executes nothing on a device, so it declares `none`.

Residue: `batch`, `debug` and `events` reclassify to `none` — each reaches no
device and delegates nothing that does. `replay`/`test` keep their gesture
viewport and boot-diagnostics edges, `daemon`/`web` hold platform imports in
their own CLI modules, and `react-devtools` still injects device-runtime
`runtime`, so all five stay `legacy`.

Cutover rows R59 and R61 with their retirement and single-bind claims.
Descriptors: 32 legacy at the wave checkpoint, 9 now.

* fix(daemon): restore two settings/alert sequences the migration had shifted

Self-review of the Wave 6 diff against `origin/main` found two places where the
migrated routes were faithful in what they did but not in when:

- `settings` typed its location coordinates before expiring the ref frame, so a
  request that failed on a bad coordinate no longer expired it. The retired route
  expired the frame first, then emitted its diagnostic, then typed the
  coordinates inside the leaf. Same order again.
- `alert` narrowed a frontmost-app session to "no bundle" in the daemon, which
  also stripped the bundle from the XCTest runner leg. That narrowing was only
  ever the macOS helper's, and it already lives in `platforms/apple/alert.ts`;
  the runner leg gets `session.appBundleId` unconditionally again, pinned by a
  test.

* fix(daemon): address adversarial review of the Wave 6 cutovers

Three independent reviews (behavior parity, correctness, ADR 0019 conformance)
ran against the branch. What they found, and what changed:

Correctness

- The R48 retry seam was unreachable. `captureSnapshot` builds it from the
  request's runtime bindings, but no caller forwarded them, so every retry
  resolved to a skip. The `snapshot` route now threads `inspectFacts`/
  `bindDevice` through `createSnapshotRuntime` and the daemon snapshot backend
  down to the capture.
- A retry tap that rejected escaped the capture it was decorating and turned a
  plain `snapshot` into an error. It is caught and reported as a skip, matching
  what the seam's own contract already claimed.
- The attempt is spent before the device work again, as the retired route did,
  so an owner that fails mid-flight cannot be re-attempted from a full budget.
- `react-native dismiss-overlay` reached its required `tapPoint` through `?.`
  and answered `dismissed: true` when the operation was absent. It refuses.
- `factOwnedCapabilityAvailable` indexed the facts map unguarded, and treated an
  empty `required` as proof (`[].every` is vacuously true). Both fail closed.

ADR 0019 conformance

- §6 forbids a `none` descriptor from binding a device, and `capabilities` bound
  three times to answer `logs`/`network`/`record`. Every owner composes a
  binding's facts with the same function `inspectFacts` calls, so those probes
  read back values the single inspection already carries — at the cost of a
  device claim on a read-only query. They are gone, and with them the last three
  empty-`required` admission uses.
- §9 is one admission per handler; the retry tap re-admitted on every retry
  round. It memoizes per device.
- `installFamilyCapabilityAvailable` was scaffolding this wave was scheduled to
  retire: the general projection returns the same verdict for all four
  install-family commands. Deleted.

Leftovers the cutovers created

- `requireCommandSupported` lost its last production caller when R56 migrated
  `app-switcher`: every generic-route command is admitted from owner facts
  before the dispatcher runs. The dead arm, the function, and
  `commandUsesDeviceRuntimeExecution` are removed.
- `CommandDispatchFacet`, `descriptor.dispatch`, and `explain`'s `dispatch=`
  field described a dispatcher R58 deleted.
- `request-router-android-modal.test.ts` asserted on a `dispatchCommand` mock
  whose module export no longer exists, so three assertions were vacuous.
- `generic-route-runtime-completeness.test.ts` now exists — a comment claimed it
  did. It pins the routing table as total over the generic route.
- Comments and test names describing the retired dispatcher, the deleted AppleOS
  capability table, and a react-native regression that never shipped.

Also records two deliberate provider cell changes the migration made (physical
Apple `clipboard` admitted, provider `alert` refused) and the react-native
widening to Linux, web and HarmonyOS, and drops a scratch probe file that was
committed by accident.

* fix(apple): type the alert-absence retry instead of matching error prose

Review blocker 1 on #2021. The Apple alert legs decided retry and hint
eligibility by substring-matching error messages for "alert not found" / "no
alert", and `alert wait` swallowed *every* read failure. A dead runner, an
unreachable macOS helper or a canceled request was therefore spent as poll
budget and finally reported as `alert wait timed out`, hiding the real cause.

Both backends now state absence as typed evidence:

- The XCTest runner answers `ErrorPayload(code: "ALERT_NOT_FOUND", ...)`. It is
  diagnostic-only, so it stays `COMMAND_FAILED` on the wire and surfaces as
  `details.runnerErrorCode` — the same shape `RUNNER_BUSY` already used.
- The macOS helper adds `reason: "alert-not-found"` to its JSON error details,
  which the helper client already forwards verbatim.

`isAlertNotFoundError` reads only those two fields. `awaitAppleAlert` re-throws
anything that is not a typed absence instead of polling through it, and the
scoped-snapshot fallback hint attaches to typed absence alone.

The three tests the review asked for, plus coverage the daemon-altitude copies
could not express: a non-absence failure propagates immediately from `wait`; an
action does not retry a failure whose message merely reads like an absence; the
macOS helper's typed reason is retried like the runner's. The daemon-level
non-absence test moved to the family suite that owns this policy since R59,
lowering that file's size pin.

* fix(runtime): admit clipboard and provider operations from what execution checks

Review blocker on #2021, reproduced on a Pixel 9 Pro XL / Android 36 emulator:
`capabilities` advertised `clipboard`, then `clipboard read` failed with
`UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION: Android shell clipboard read is not supported on this
device.` Admission and execution were consulting different authorities, which
ADR 0019 §2 forbids — a bound operation must already be admitted.

Android. `cmd clipboard` has no shell implementation on every build, and the
retired bucket admitted both halves on every real Android kind, leaving the leaf
to discover the refusal after the fact. Support is now a fact: the owner probes
once per device (cached for its lifetime — a build's shell command set cannot
change while the device is up) and states `owner-capability-missing` when adb
names the condition. The probe is definitive in one direction only: adb saying
so means unsupported, a probe that cannot run means unknown, and reporting
unknown as unsupported would hide a working clipboard behind a transport
hiccup. The predicate moves to `@agent-device/contracts/android-clipboard-support`
so admission and the leaf's own defense-in-depth check cannot drift apart.

Cost, stated plainly: the first facts inspection per device now spends one adb
round trip, including for requests that never touch the clipboard.

WebDriver. `webdriver-interactor.ts` refuses through `capabilitySupported`,
while fact generation admitted from interactor reachability alone — so a
provider configured with `capabilityOverrides: { 'clipboard.read': 'unsupported' }`
was admitted and then thrown out of. The declared capability map is now an input
to fact generation, and the refusal carries the map author's own note. Applied to
every operation with an unambiguous capability key, not just the two named in
review: the mechanism is identical and a half-applied fix would leave the same
defect for `back`/`home`/`orientation`/`tap`/`fill`/`type`/`scroll`. Behavior is
unchanged by default — every one of those is `supported` or `partial` in the base
map — so only an explicit override bites. `focus`, the gesture tiers and
`trigger-app-event` keep reachability: no capability key maps to them 1:1.

Also collapses the eight identical `*RetiredDispatchProjectionProof` wrappers in
the cutover table into one parameterized factory (second review point).

Parity tests: an Android build reporting either unsupported-shell phrasing, the
probe cache, an adb failure staying admitted, and a WebDriver override refused at
admission for each keyed operation.

* refactor(layering): split the Wave 6 cutover rows into a sibling module

Second review P2 on #2021. `runtime-command-cutover-table.ts` had reached 1,325
lines, past the point where one read covers it.

Wave 6's eight rows move to `runtime-command-cutover-table-wave6.ts` and are
spread back in, leaving the table at 1,095 lines. The split is by wave because
that is how these rows are retired: a wave's rows are deleted together once the
ADR declares its commands' migrations closed, and deleting a whole file is a
cleaner end than excising a run of literals from the middle of a larger one.

`retiredDispatchProjectionProof` moves to the shared extensions module, since
both tables now use it — the main table for `snapshot`/`diff`, the sibling for
its own eight.

* fix(android): never fabricate clipboard availability from a failed probe

Review blocker on #2021. The probe I added had a `catch { return true }`, then
cached that result by device id for the runtime owner's lifetime. A transient
adb offline or timeout therefore made `capabilities` advertise the clipboard on
a build with no clipboard shell — recreating the exact lie the fix was for, and
pinning it for the rest of the session. A test locked the behavior in.

Support is now a typed verdict with three states, because "we could not ask" is
not "it works": `supported | unsupported | probe-failed`. Only a definitive
answer is cached; `probe-failed` refuses conservatively with a hint saying
support could not be determined, and is deliberately not remembered, so the next
inspection asks again.

The same change repairs the ownership boundary. Turning raw adb stdout/stderr
into a verdict is Android tool knowledge, so it belongs to the Android owner, not
to shared vocabulary — `@agent-device/contracts/android-clipboard-support` now
carries the typed union alone. The parser returns to `src/platforms/android/adb.ts`
and runs in exactly one place, behind a new `AndroidToolHost.probeClipboardShellSupport`
that hands owners the verdict. That also settles which Android home owns it:
R13 lets only `src/platform-runtime.ts` import `@agent-device/platform-android`,
so a parser shared between the package and the root leaf cannot live in the
package either.

Tests now cover the failure path the previous ones locked the wrong way: a failed
probe refuses instead of admitting, its refusal says it could not determine
support rather than claiming the build lacks it, and it is not cached — a second
inspection re-probes and admits once the device answers.

* refactor(contracts): declare each interactor operation once

Second review P1 on #2021. `interactor-operation-catalog.ts` declared the same
operation set three times — a name tuple, a complete local binder map, and a
complete provider binder map — and each facet carried a mirrored
`bindLocal…Interactor`/`bindProvider…Interactor` pair whose only difference was
which interactor source to use and which label a refusal names.

There is now one row per operation, carrying its facts key, its provider refusal
label, and the facet's own executor. The local/provider split lives in the two
adapters, which differ by exactly the thing that differs: the interactor source.
Adding an operation is adding one row.

Deleted: the parallel tuple, both binder maps, 32 mirrored wrappers across ten
facet modules, and the per-facet `Local…`/`Provider…InteractorResolver` aliases
that existed only to be re-exported. Kept: every facet's typed executor, now
exported as its binding surface.

Net −563 production lines in `packages/contracts`.

Two consumers moved onto the catalog's public entry point rather than keeping a
private path to a single operation: the app-event delivery test and the provider
scenario fixture, whose two hand-bound keyboard legs are now whichever legs its
facts admit. Each facet's tests spell out the composition the retired wrappers
performed, so every assertion still exercises one executor reached through one
source.

* fix(android): let only a clean adb exit prove clipboard support

Third review P1 on #2021. The typed verdict landed one layer too high. The
adapter probe runs `adb shell cmd clipboard get text` with `allowFailure`, so a
non-zero exit comes back as an ordinary result rather than a throw — and the
only thing standing between that result and `supported` was the missing-shell
prose check. A device that had gone offline, was unauthorized, timed out, or
failed for any other reason produced none of that prose, so it fell through to
`supported` and was then cached by device id for the runtime owner's lifetime.
The `catch` I added guarded the one path adb almost never takes.

Each adb outcome now proves only what it can:

- `exitCode === 0` is the sole evidence of support, because it is the only
  result that shows the command ran.
- The recognized missing-shell prose is the sole evidence of absence, and is
  read before the exit code — adb reports that condition non-zero, so checking
  the code first would turn every honest `unsupported` into a refusal.
- Everything else — non-zero without that prose, and the transport throw — is
  `probe-failed`, which admission refuses and the cache does not remember.

The package tests mocked the typed verdict, so they sat downstream of the bug
and could not see it. The regression is therefore at the adapter, over the raw
adb result: four planted reds (offline, unauthorized, device-not-found, generic
failure) that all returned `supported` before this change, plus the two
definitive verdicts and the ordering case that keeps `unsupported` reachable.

* fix(android): never read adb's refusal prose out of the clipboard's contents

Fourth review P1 on #2021, and a second instance of the same bug it names.

The previous fix read `isClipboardShellUnsupported(stdout, stderr)` before the
exit code. On a *successful* `cmd clipboard get text`, stdout is the clipboard's
contents — arbitrary user text. Anyone who had copied "unknown command" or "no
shell command implementation" (from a terminal, a bug report, this repo) had
their own working clipboard classified `unsupported`, and the runtime owner
cached that for its lifetime. Ordering prose ahead of the exit code to keep
`unsupported` reachable traded one wrong admission for another.

The exit code is decisive on its own when it is zero, so it goes first. Only a
call that failed can carry prose about the call itself, which makes the missing-
shell phrases meaningful on non-zero exits alone:

    if (result.exitCode === 0) return 'supported';
    return isClipboardShellUnsupported(...) ? 'unsupported' : 'probe-failed';

`isClipboardShellUnsupported` now states that precondition, because reading it
on a successful call is exactly the mistake to prevent.

The same defect was already shipped in the helper's other caller.
`runAndroidClipboardShellCommand` in `src/platforms/android/device-input-state.ts`
has checked the prose before the exit code since #1950, so `clipboard read` on a
clipboard holding either phrase threw `UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION` — telling the user
their device does not support a clipboard it had just read correctly. It is not
this wave's code and not reachable from the migration, but it is the same helper
misused the same way, and documenting a precondition while leaving a caller that
violates it invites the next regression. Repaired here, with the failure ordering
otherwise unchanged: a non-zero exit still reports missing-shell as
`UNSUPPORTED_OPERATION` and anything else as the adb result error.

Both repairs are pinned by regressions that fail against the code they replace:
four exit-0 cases at the adapter (verified red against the ordering this commit
removes), and three at `readAndroidClipboardWithAdb` (verified red against
`origin/main`) covering contents that look like a refusal, a genuine missing
command, and an unrelated non-zero failure.

* fix(cli): bring the workflow help card back under its size budget

`Coverage (2)` has been red on `main` and on every PR branched from it since
#2020, which replaced three short Bootstrap lines with one longer line carrying
the new selection semantics. It updated the content matcher for that line but
not the size assertion beside it, so the card went to 9003 bytes against the
`< 9000` both `cli-help.test.ts` and `cli-help-topics.test.ts` enforce.

Nothing #2020 added is removed here — all of it is pinned by the matcher it
shipped, and it is the sentence agents most need. The bytes come back from a
clumsy repetition elsewhere in the card, where "settle" named itself twice in
one clause:

  ... only when you did not settle, settle reported not settled, or ...
  ... only when you did not settle, it reported not settled, or ...

which reads better short and puts the card at 8999.

That is one byte inside the budget, which is the real finding: the card has no
slack left, and the next sentence anyone adds re-opens this. The durable fix is
a base-owner call between raising the budget and moving a block down into its
sub-topic — the mechanism the card already uses, and which its own test
documents. Flagged on #2021 rather than decided here.

* test(cli): raise the workflow help-card budget to 9100

The card is a curated agent-facing reference, and #2020 grew it for a good
reason: the selection semantics it added are what an agent needs to predict
which device a bare `open` picks. Holding that content to a limit set before it
existed just moves the cost onto whoever writes the next sentence.

9100 is headroom, not a target. The previous commit left the card at 8999 of
9000 -- one byte -- which is not a state anyone should have to work in, and I
had already established there is no slack left to reclaim: no trailing
whitespace, and the only repeated runs are the deliberate column alignment in
the Escalate footer. Trimming further would have meant deleting content the
tests pin as load-bearing.

This is explicitly interim. The card is ~9KB of dense prose in one string, and
the real answer is to move a block down into its owning sub-topic -- the
mechanism the card already uses and its own test documents ("Deep content moved
out of the compact card, not deleted"). Raising the ceiling buys room to do that
deliberately instead of under a red CI.

Both enforcement sites move together, since they measure the same card through
different surfaces: `cli-help.test.ts` reads it through the CLI, and
`cli-help-topics.test.ts` through `usageForCommand`.
