Adds a per-project "Allow host build/run" sandbox capability that lets a containerized agent request to build and run executables on the host machine, escaping the Linux sandbox — e.g. compiling and running a macOS binary the container can't. - New `host_exec` MCP tool on the approval server, advertised only when the session opts in. Pre-allowed via --allowedTools so the call reaches our handler directly rather than Claude's permission path: the handler is the sole gate, so `auto` mode can never auto-approve it. - Every host command surfaces an explicit approval (risk .hostExec) and runs on the host via /bin/zsh -lc in the session worktree only after approval. An explicit "Allow for Session" choice grants the rest of the session; auto-approve never sets that — only a deliberate user choice does. - ProjectSandbox.allowHostExec (off by default) with tolerant decoding so rows persisted before the field default to false instead of dropping the whole sandbox config. - Threaded allowHostExec through RunSpec/ResumeSpec/SessionController; Mac Project Settings toggle; Mac ApprovalBar "Allow for Session" button; iOS risk styling/biometric gate for .hostExec. - Tests: host_exec advertised/served only when registered + refused otherwise; allowHostExec round-trip and legacy-JSON default-to-false.

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).
