feat(ios): slim writes launchd overrides before one boot, reads them back - #1197
Implement: done (8/8 green, audit probed 8/8) Review: passed (round 2 + fix-check) Hardware: pass (lane run 2, 4/4) Gate: waiting for the stack
Next: ADR 0060 to Accepted, stack sync, gate on #1197
pnpm exec vitest run --project unit src/drivers/ios passes. — run by the build, audit and fix runs; 198/198 in index.test.ts
grep -rn '/bin/sh' src/drivers/ios/index.ts finds nothing. — checked by the audit
Slow lane, real simulator: e2e/slow-ios-slim.test.ts passes on a Mac whose newest iOS runtime is 27.0. — hardware verifier, lane run 2 on 4ba7745, 4/4 passed
src/drivers/ios/AGENTS.md, docs/internal/EVENTS.md and the three website pages no longer say a slim device boots twice, that erase removes the overrides, or that narrowing ios.slim.categories never turns a service back on. — audit stale sweep, review round 1 claims lens, R1 fix
On a Mac whose newest iOS runtime is 27.0, a slim lease on that runtime is granted slim and every slim service reads as disabled inside the simulator. — slow lane cold-lease test
A slim simulator released and leased again is still granted slim, with every slim service disabled. — slow lane re-lease test
A slim boot boots the simulator once. — unit test (one boot in the scripted runner) and slow lane
A simulator Simlock destroys has no folder left in /private/var/tmp. — unit tests for destroy and destroyLegacy
Assumptions
Assumption: a disabled.plist value that is not <true/> or <false/> — treated as "not a plist dict" (failed write, file left unchanged).
Assumption: readback cases "a true label reads true" and "a false label missing" are as wanted — granted slim with onSlimmed, no skip fact (ADR 0060 §2 rules).
Assumption: "first" mismatching label in the skip detail — first in sorted label order.
The iOS driver now writes managed launchd overrides while the simulator is shut down, boots once, and reads back service states. The readback result determines whether the device is reported as slim or full. The changes update managed labels, override-file cleanup, boot estimates, and related tests and documentation.
Merge Risk: Low · up to af6dd
Rare simulator state or process errors can prevent slim preparation from completing as intended. The test complexity check also remains unverified; these risks merit owner awareness before merge.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to af6dd
The normal preparation and reuse paths have useful verification and recovery controls. However, the new host-file writer trusts existing directories in a shared temporary location without checking their ownership or whether they are symbolic links. Local exploitation depends on access and timing that remain unverified.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: The new direct override writer accepts an existing per-UDID directory without validating ownership or rejecting directory symlinks. If a local actor can pre-create or control that path, parent-directory traversal can redirect temporary-file creation and the final disabled.plist replacement into another directory writable by the driver. The requested 0700 creation mode and exclusive temporary file protect newly created paths, not an already-controlled parent. Different-user reachability and practical timing remain unverified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — A successful directory redirection would affect the fixed disabled.plist basename in a directory writable by the driver account. The inspected code does not establish arbitrary filename replacement, root authority, or cross-user simulator control.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The conditional attack path is local control of the expected per-UDID directory, followed by symlink traversal during the driver's direct host write. The replacement occurs before boot and readback, so later simulator verification cannot undo an out-of-folder file mutation. Practical cross-user path control remains unresolved.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The driver establishes an owned simulator device root, but the override root is independent. Existing override directories receive no equivalent ownership proof. Countercontrols include 0700 for directories the driver creates and exclusive randomized temporary files followed by atomic rename; neither validates an existing parent directory.
observed — Lease selection compares the requested spec mode with the device's spec mode. A slim-spec device reported full after a readback mismatch therefore does not become eligible for a full-spec request through this planner.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The inspected core preparation path obtains a device operation claim before calling makeReady, commits readiness only after it returns, and releases the claim on failure. Recovery retains the leased registry state and revalidates the lease before returning, limiting unintended ownership changes during a reboot.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Establish explicit ownership and non-symlink requirements for existing override directories, and use race-resistant, directory-anchored filesystem operations where supported. Validate these controls against legitimate CoreSimulator-created folders before enforcing them.

Explanation
Open issue #1196 requires pre-boot override writes, one boot, readback-based mode selection, defined skip handling, updated labels, destroy cleanup, cold-boot estimates, tests, and documentation. The reviewed change summary reports these behaviors in the iOS driver and override helpers. It reports coverage for write/readback errors, mode exclusions, folder cleanup after both destroy paths, and updated labels. The unit and real-simulator tests cover cold leases and re-leases. The summaries also report preserved event and device-data contracts.

Reduce the branches in this test callback so the Fallow check passes.
The Fallow check reports this arrow function as a failure: CRAP 31.6 against a threshold of 30, cyclomatic complexity 10. The branches are the existing !== undefined setup, the ternary on configured, the rewritten && existing === undefined mode assertion, the ternary on rewritten, and unknown ?? []. Two changes reduce the count:
Give every table row explicit configured and unknown values.
Move the file-mode assertion into a separate case.
Then assert filesystem.modes in a dedicated "no file yet" test.

Handle readback process errors as a skipped slim.
883-886: Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win
Handle readback process errors as a skipped slim.
If process creation or wait() fails after boot, #invokeSimctl throws DriverCrashError. #readBack handles only timeouts and nonzero exits, so makeReady rejects instead of returning the specified slim fallback and emitting one onSlimSkipped warning. Catch invocation errors at this readback boundary and include the error in the skip detail. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update #readBack to catch DriverCrashError from #invokeSimctl and handle it as a
skipped slim: return the existing slim fallback and emit exactly one
onSlimSkipped warning whose detail includes the error. Preserve the existing
timeout and nonzero-exit handling.
Shut down the simulator before writing its overrides.
767-768: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Shut down the simulator before writing its overrides.
A lease boot can reach makeReady for a device recorded as shutdown, without checking the simulator’s actual run state. If an external tool has already booted it, #bootAndWait accepts the already-booted response, so the write is not followed by a real boot. When the live launchd state differs from the new file, readback can return full, leaving the requested slim mode unapplied until a later restart. ADR 0060 requires the write to occur while the simulator is shut down.

Review comment at @src/drivers/ios/index.ts around lines 767 - 768:
Update the `makeReady` flow so the simulator is confirmed shut down before
`#writeOverrides` writes overrides, including when its recorded state is
`shutdown` but it may have been booted externally. Ensure the subsequent boot is
a real boot after the write, preserving ADR 0060’s requirement that overrides
are written while the simulator is shut down.
