  • Build & Test covers Xcode 26, Rust, XcodeGen, native tests, Python tests, mobile checks, and component packaging.
  • Architecture & Protocol explains feature-model ownership, process ownership, loopback communication, Codex-plan routing, persistence, and security boundaries.

AppModel and agent/server.py are composition roots, not default homes for new feature behavior. Add native state and actions to the matching observable feature model, and add service routes and request behavior to the matching domain API module.

Read the repository CONTRIBUTING guide before changing provider routing, credentials, protocol contracts, permissions, packaging, or third-party inventory.
