Grow the universal NucleicRemote app into a width-adaptive shell so a regular-width iPad renders the macOS sidebar+detail IA while the iPhone keeps its TabView -- both over the same RemoteStore projection (one host authority, N renderers). Phase 1 (adaptive shell): - AdaptiveRootView branches on horizontalSizeClass: CompactRootView (the existing iPhone TabView, moved verbatim) vs SplitRootView (NavigationSplitView) on regular width. - SplitSidebar: Home/Projects/To-dos/Settings destinations + sessions grouped under their projects (attention-sorted), connection chip footer. - SplitDetail selects a destination or a session; a selected session reuses SessionDetailView keyed .id(sessionID) so switching drives open/close. - RemoteStore.closeOpen(_:) is now id-guarded so a split-view A->B switch (onAppear(B) before onDisappear(A)) can't tear down B's fresh subscription. - IdentityStore.deviceID idiom-tags the prefix (ipad-/iphone-) for new installs so the host lists a paired iPad correctly. Phase 2 (width tuning + diff): - readableColumn() caps+centers Home and the transcript on wide layouts; a no-op at phone/portrait width. - SessionDiffView switches on available width (GeometryReader): a Mac-style two-pane diff (file list + selected file's patch) on wide/landscape, the phone stack otherwise. UnifiedPatch splits the combined patch per file. Read-only, same wire, no protocol change. - Demo diff fixture now carries both files' patches. iPhone layout and behavior unchanged. Builds clean; verified in the iPad simulator (demo mode). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
NucleicRemote (iPhone client)
The thin iOS remote client for Nucleic (PLAN milestone M4). It's a pure projection of the
Mac host over LAN: monitor sessions, read transcripts/diffs, answer approvals, and send
follow-up input — scope approve. No local git or CLI; the Mac is the single authority
(see docs/UX_IOS.md and docs/SYNC_PROTOCOL.md).
Architecture
All wire/crypto logic is shared with the Mac via the NucleicProtocol SwiftPM library
(this Xcode project links it as a local package at ../..):
- Transport —
NWFrameChannel(NWConnection) +LANDiscovery(Bonjour_nucleic._tcp). - Engine —
NucleicProtocol.SyncClientruns the Noise handshake (XXpsk0 to pair, IK to reconnect), exchanges hello/welcome, and turnsHostMsgs into aSyncClient.Eventstream. - State —
RemoteStore(ObservableObject) is the single on-device UI state, a pure projection of the host. Identity + pinned host live inIdentityStore(Keychain + UserDefaults). - UI — SwiftUI:
SessionsView(attention-first list),SessionDetailView(transcript/diff + status-driven action area),ApprovalCardView(Face ID gate on high-risk),PairingScannerView(QR),SettingsView.
Build & run
# Resolves the local NucleicProtocol package automatically.
xcodebuild -project ios/NucleicRemote/NucleicRemote.xcodeproj \
-scheme NucleicRemote \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17 Pro' build
Or open NucleicRemote.xcodeproj in Xcode and run. To pair, start the sync server on the Mac
(Nucleic ▸ Settings ▸ Add iPhone shows the QR), then scan it. On a real device, both must be
on the same Wi‑Fi.
Status
The full pair → list → subscribe → approve → reconnect path is implemented and the protocol/
server side is covered by tests in Tests/NucleicProtocolTests and Tests/NucleicCoreTests.
Push notifications / Live Activity (UX_IOS §5.1/§5.3) are the M5 follow-up (needs the relay).
