+Rules corpus refreshed to rules-swift v2.14.0 (e624c8c) on 2026-11-02. New since v1.1.2: 21 rule files, listed in the tables below as NOT yet audited against this repository (a refresh of the pinned copy, not a conformance claim). The acceptance commands of both rules were run on `Sources` (372 Swift files searched) on 2026-11-02 and printed nothing. The rules' app-level tests (every pose, the fold on the simulator, the pane UI test) belong to an app and are not run and not claimed here.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
-A conformance pass bringing the repository into agreement with its own rules.
+## [2.14.0] - 2026-11-02
+
+### Changed
+
+- `concurrency.md`: where a synchronous API must guard shared state (a protocol requirement, a synchronous engine), the rule now names `Synchronization.Mutex` (SE-0433) beside `actor`: it is `Sendable` without `@unchecked`, and the state is reachable only inside `withLock`. The gate's escape-hatch and `NSLock` checks are unchanged.
+
+## [2.13.0] - 2026-10-31
+
+### Changed
+
+- `ui/flowspec.md`: the verb list now includes `ambient` and `rotate`, the engine is described with `AsyncStepRegistry` and `AsyncScenarioRunner` for an async pre-UI door, and a new DO says to load hand-edited scenarios with `ScenarioLoader.loadValidated`.
+- `ui/flowspec.md`, `ui/pom.md`, `README.md`: the FlowSpec link points at its Codeberg home, `https://codeberg.org/Mihaela/FlowSpec`, instead of GitHub, where it no longer lives.
+
+## [2.12.0] - 2026-10-28
+
+### Added
+
+- `ui/pane-layout.md`: a section on one set of panes on a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone with SuperSplit, ten rules: one view per pane role with many containers (a phone gets the same views as pages, not a split); the arrangement is a value that names the saved layout; a pane's share and its least size are different limits and the least wins; the Mac hides the problem by being wide, so test every pane at its least width; the divider is the edge of a pane and its frame in the accessibility tree is what a test asserts against; the card's clip loses what does not fit, so pair it with a test and a picture; maximize is the way to give one pane the whole area; a platform view needs an owner that lives as long as the pane; chrome as glass is a background; and three levels of test (the pure layout, the real window's frames, a picture of each arrangement).
+
+## [2.11.0] - 2026-10-28
+
+### Added
+
+- `ui/pane-layout.md`: eight rules from an iPad and an iPhone Duo with a real editor, each a defect that shipped: the split sizes a pane and the content does not; an optional part is decided by a measurement (a tip in `ViewThatFits` widened a 240 point pane to 296); a header fits the narrowest pane; columns are decided by the room the parts need and not by a fixed 1000 points (a 13 inch iPad upright is 1032); a layout is saved for each way the device is held; the whole area for the document; a platform view is updated by its inputs and keeps its controller; and a picture of each arrangement is a deliverable. With two acceptance commands.
+- `iphone-duo.md`: a section of what was observed on the simulator, kept apart from what Apple documents: a vertical toolbar over a vertical tab bar on the closed display, a fold that rebuilt the navigation and lost the screen, and the tools that work (Device Hub only; screenshots are black unless closed).
+
+## [2.10.0] - 2026-10-28
+
+### Changed
+
+- `iphone-duo.md`: availability is now stated from the SDK's own Swift interface and headers, with two facts the Apple pages do not carry (the macOS SDK of Xcode 27.1 is 27.0 and lacks the 27.1 symbols; members of a type listed for a platform can be unavailable there, as `horizontalOnly`, `verticalPreferred`, `ToolbarOverflowMenu` and the compression behaviors are on macOS), the per-API versions of the bar APIs are corrected (`visibilityPriority` iOS 27.0 and macOS 26.1, `ToolbarOverflowMenu` iOS 27.0), and a new rule says the newer APIs are reached through one layer that checks the SDK and the OS separately and gives each a fallback (the `Forwards` package).
+
+## [2.9.0] - 2026-10-28
+
+### Added
+
+- `iphone-duo.md`: the foldable iPhone, from Apple's own pages (the Human Interface Guidelines page, the
+  documentation of Preparing your app for iPhone Duo, ArrangementView and reserved regions, five Tech Talks
+  and the WWDC26 UIKit session; none is in the Cupertino corpus yet). The app is resized by a fold while it
+  runs, so: the size is read on every change from the view and never from the screen or the launch; layout
+  is decided by size classes and the space, not by idiom, orientation or `UIScreen.main`; state lives above
+  anything a size class swaps; reserved regions, arrangement views and the hinge are iOS 27.1 and used in
+  their places (regions and arrangements for layout, the hinge for effects); the system's bars carry the
+  controls; safe areas are not symmetric; a second window is a request that can fail; and every pose and
+  every change between poses is tested. States what Apple has not documented (the transition, state across
+  a fold, scene behavior on a fold, sizes), and that the claim of support is made only after the transition
+  test has been run.
+
+## [2.8.0] - 2026-10-28
+
+### Changed
+
+- `accessibility.md`: the Mac is audited too, and what it found is in the rules (a divider with no role is a slider on the Mac and an adjustable action on iOS; a list, an outline and a placeholder-only text field are named; a ruler beside text is hidden). A finding is checked against the pixels of the picture before it is listed, and one the pixels contradict is recorded as a false positive with its measured ratio. The ledger may name element kinds, a finding with no element is let pass only by an entry with no label, and the macOS SDK's missing audit types are named by their raw values. Rule 14 now has a built answer (pages instead of columns at accessibility sizes, decided by a tested pure function) and says for which screens it was looked at.
+
+## [2.7.0] - 2026-10-27
+
+### Added
+
+- `accessibility.md`: text through text styles (Dynamic Type) with the app's own zoom applied as a shift of it,
+  every control named by what it does and never by its symbol's default name, 28 point tap targets, an
+  alternative for every gesture (named actions, adjustable elements), the name and actions on the element a
+  person reaches and not on a container, contrast as arithmetic (4.5 to 1, Light, Dark, Increase Contrast),
+  announcements, Reduce Motion, layer-drawn UI exposed element by element, and a UI framework's core that
+  describes while each surface must declare that it realizes it. The audit
+  (`performAccessibilityAudit`) runs in UI tests and fails for a finding that is not on a ledger of known
+  findings, each with its reason. Written from the Cupertino corpus (the Human Interface Guidelines pages
+  Accessibility and VoiceOver, Performing accessibility testing, the audit's documentation) and from what the
+  audit measured on an iPad app: 300 findings on five screens, 118 of them hit areas, 69 Dynamic Type, 59
+  contrast. States what is not established: the layout at the largest accessibility size, VoiceOver on a
+  device, and the audit on the Mac.
+
+## [2.6.0] - 2026-10-27
+
+### Added
+
+- `help.md`: an app's help is written once, in one JSON file, and every platform's help is made from it. The
+  Mac carries an Apple Help Book (the two Info.plist keys, the book's structure and indexes, generated and
+  checked against the file) and leaves the Help menu to the system; an iPad and an iPhone have an in-app
+  help sheet in a Help menu of the toolbar and in the menu bar of an iPad, and the version in the Settings
+  app through a Settings bundle; tips (TipKit) point at the first thing to do and go when it is done. Each
+  platform is told in its own words. Ships a build-checked acceptance list and tests; what was observed on a
+  built app is stated as observed, and the Help Book format, which the Cupertino corpus does not hold, is
+  marked as such.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `versioning.md` rule 14: the stamp phase names the built `Info.plist` as an input file, so that it runs
+  after the system writes the plist; observed on a clean build, where the stamp was lost without it.
+
+## [2.5.0] - 2026-10-18
+
+### Added
+
+- `app-logging.md`: every shipped app has one given recorder, entries that are facts and never the
+  person's content, every intent and state change logged, a Developer menu in Debug and Beta builds
+  only, and a report (log window, snapshot, optional content) made on the person's request and
+  sent only by their choice. Ships a build-checked acceptance list and tests.
+- `crash-and-state-reporting.md`: MetricKit and StateReporting used behind `canImport` and
+  availability, the system's crash reports as a second door, one crash seen through both doors
+  kept once, the call stack never in the log, states joined to the log. Claims about delivery and
+  the return of states are stated at the strength they were shown.
+- `versioning.md` rule 14: the stamp in an Xcode app target is a post-build script phase.
+
+## [2.4.0] - 2026-10-17
+
+### Added
+
+- `versioning.md`: the version is written once, in a `VERSION` file, and read as Semantic
+  Versioning 2.0.0 (a value outside the grammar stops the build); the store's short version is
+  the core only; the build number is the first-parent commit count of the release branch, which
+  grows by one per commit, never restarts, and names one commit; both reach the code through a
+  generated file from a build-tool plugin whose command names its inputs (`VERSION` and the
+  git `HEAD` files); a shallow clone or a missing history is refused, never defaulted to `1`;
+  CI fetches full history; release history is append-only; a store build comes from the release
+  branch with a clean tree; a second upload of one commit needs its own number (the dotted
+  form is stated as not established until one upload orders it). Each rule names its basis as
+  documented, observed, or design. Ships six acceptance commands and the tests, including a
+  regeneration check in a throwaway clone.
+
+## [2.3.0] - 2026-10-14
+
+### Added
+
+- `app-intents.md`: App Intents live in one adapter target; an intent in a package is
+  declared by an `AppIntentsPackage` that each app and extension includes; dependencies are
+  registered, not passed; every string a person sees is a localized resource that names the
+  package bundle and is handed to the system unresolved, so Siri and Shortcuts resolve it in
+  their own language; an interpolated sentence keeps its plural forms (one and other in
+  English and German, one, few and other in Croatian); a sentence is one key, not translated
+  fragments. Each rule names its basis as documented or observed. Ships five acceptance
+  commands, a test recipe for the languages (set `locale` on a copy of the resource, because
+  `String(localized:bundle:locale:)` reads the process's language), and the statement that a
+  unit test does not prove Shortcuts lists the intent in each language.
+
+## [2.2.0] - 2026-10-14
+
+### Added
+
+- `ui/appuikit.md`: imperative AppKit and UIKit renderers, features, and app shells import
+  the cross-framework layer and name its `AppUI*` types, never an `NS` or `UI` type or a
+  direct SDK import; a missing alias or helper is added to the layer first. Ships an
+  acceptance check (two greps to promote to a self-tested gate). `appkit-views.md` and
+  `uikit-views.md` point to it.
+
+## [2.1.1] - 2026-10-11
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `exp/common-mistakes.md`: the test-target pairing command filtered `swift package
+  describe` output on the target type `regular`, which that output never uses (it says
+  `library`), so the command checked no library target and passed vacuously. It now selects
+  `library` and `executable`, and the rule says how to confirm the command selects
+  something.
+
+## [2.1.0] - 2026-10-11
+
+### Added
+
+- `testing.md`: an exception to "mocks live in the test target" for test-support
+  targets that several test targets share, because SwiftPM does not let a test target
+  depend on another. It names four conditions (declared in a checked-in table, not
+  published, not shipped except by a named allowlist, mechanically checked) and ships a
+  runnable acceptance check.
+
+## [2.0.0] - 2026-07-11
+
+### Added
+
+- A complete local repository gate covering leak, namespacing, filenames,
+  relative links, rule structure, changelog, version bumps, and fault injection.
+- A checked-in five-label tracker manifest plus scheduled issue-body and label-drift
+  auditing against Codeberg.
+- An exact vendored core license, allowing the upstream README and every changed
+  core rule to remain byte-identical after synchronization.
+- A byte-for-byte core-sync gate with a planted divergent-vendor negative control.
+- Negative controls for commit-message rejection, breaking-change notation,
+  missing Markdown links, leaked prose, namespacing violations, missing rule proof
+  sections, missing changelog/version bumps, stale issue bodies, label drift, and
+  consumer freshness.
+- Acceptance checks for the remaining binding parsing, namespacing, planning,
+  design, dependency-injection, migration, and package-testing rules.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Breaking:** Renamed the non-conventional `CONVENTIONS.md` overview to
+  `conventions.md`; inbound repository links now use the lowercase path.
+- **Breaking:** Reconciled the target graph, DI seams, namespace exception,
+  protocol-creation threshold, test-framework scope, and dependency direction
+  into one non-contradictory architecture. Consumers must review these rules
+  before updating their freshness marker.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Made forbidden-byte matching portable across POSIX shells so Linux `sh` does
+  not treat hexadecimal escape text inside the gates as a leak.
+- Replaced the unavailable hosted priority-label action with a repository-owned
+  Forgejo API script and deterministic add, remove, and no-op fixtures.
+- Renamed the consumer workflow from conformance to freshness so its name matches
+  its actual proof: it compares the shared-rules version marker and does not claim
+  semantic conformance.
+- Strengthened the commit hook to enforce Conventional Commit types, the 72-column
+  limit, automated-author attribution prohibitions, and the em-dash rule.
+- Made missing SwiftFormat or SwiftLint fail instead of silently weakening a commit
+  that contains Swift files.
+- Repaired stale repository-relative links and narrowed the shared-path exception
+  in the folder-grouping rule so it no longer contradicts the default mandate.
+- Scoped the Apple framework policy to Apple client/UI targets so it no longer
+  contradicts the Swift Linux, Windows, WASM, and server rules.
+- Normalized ExtremePackaging terminology and examples to the repository's
+  one-package/many-targets architecture, removing impossible nested manifests.
+- Classified the repository's `VERSION` marker as a conventional root filename and
+  repaired the file-naming rule's non-Conventional commit example.
+- Removed the dead GitHub workflow badge and documented the Forgejo fallback and
+  local source of verification evidence.
+- Moved the shell-only consumer freshness job from an unproven `macos` label to
+  the repository's demonstrated `ubuntu-latest` Forgejo runner label.
+- Flattened the sole consumer workflow template from the one-file `templates/`
+  directory to `rules-freshness.yml` at the repository root.
+
+## [1.1.2]
+
+- **scripts/leak-gate.sh (.build exclusion):** all three scans and the file count now
+  exclude `.build/` directories. Fetched dependency checkouts carry their own vendor
+  names, absolute-path examples, and em dashes in documentation the repo does not own
+  and git does not track; scanning them made the gate permanently red on any consumer
+  with resolved dependencies, which trains readers to ignore it. Found by a rule-canon
+  audit on 2026-07-04 where the gate failed consumers solely on `.build/checkouts/`
+  markdown.
+
+## [1.1.1]
+
+- **scripts/leak-gate.sh (charter-file exception):** the vendor-name scan now excludes the
+  two agent charter files at the repository ROOT, where the filename is the tool's
+  addressing interface (function, not attribution). Root only; the same name in any nested
+  file still fails, and the exception is fault-injection tested downstream. A permanently
+  red gate trains readers to ignore it, which is worse than no gate.
+
+## [1.1.0]
+
+- **documentation.md Rule 0 (DocC scope):** DocC is packages-only (never apps), and only
+  for packages that are public OR heavily used. Non-qualifying packages skip the DocC
+  catalog entirely. Narrows the former "every project" framing.
+
+A conformance pass brought the repository closer to agreement with its own rules.

+# Accessibility: text that scales, controls that are named and large enough, every gesture with an alternative, and an audit that fails the build
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every app and every UI framework.** An app is used by people who see large text, no screen, little contrast, one finger, a switch, a voice or a keyboard. The app is built for them from the first view and checked by a test that fails, not by a look at the end. A UI framework (a split view, a tree, an editor) has a platform-neutral core and a surface for each renderer; the core says what is said and what can be done, and every surface is required to do it.
+
+Each rule below carries its basis: **documented** (Apple documentation or the Human Interface Guidelines, named so it can be read), **observed** (found by building and running it, with the number), or **design** (a choice, with the reason). Everything marked documented was read in the Cupertino corpus: the Human Interface Guidelines pages Accessibility and VoiceOver, the article Performing accessibility testing, the documentation of `XCUIApplication.performAccessibilityAudit(for:_:)` and `XCUIAccessibilityAuditType`, and the SwiftUI accessibility modifiers.

+- **Accessibility added at the end is a list of findings.** The first audit of an iPad app that had been built carefully, in every other respect, reported 300 findings on five screens (small tap targets, text that did not follow the system's size, secondary text that was too faint, controls named by the default name of their symbol). Each was cheap when the view was written and expensive afterwards.
+- **A name that is wrong is worse than no name.** The buttons that expand and collapse every row of an outline were announced as "Enter Full Screen" and "Exit Full Screen", the default descriptions of the arrow symbols they drew. A person using VoiceOver was told to do something the button did not do.
+- **A gesture with no alternative is a locked door.** Dragging a divider to resize panes and dragging a header to rearrange them cannot be done with VoiceOver, Switch Control or the keyboard. Where a gesture is the only way, the feature is not there for those people.
+- **A framework that leaves it to each surface gets it right once.** A split-view framework with a SwiftUI surface, a layer surface and an AppKit/UIKit surface had each surface decide its own names and sizes, and the surfaces disagreed (a 16 point control on two, a 28 point divider on one). The words and the sizes belong in the core, once, with a test.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Text follows the system's text size, through text styles.** Every piece of text in a view is a text style (`.body`, `.footnote`, `.caption` and the others) or a font made with `relativeTo:`, never `.font(.system(size:))` alone. The Human Interface Guidelines say to support larger text sizes, at least to 200 percent, and to use the system's Dynamic Type; the default and the least sizes are 17 and 11 points on iOS and 13 and 10 on macOS. A size that is not a text style may be used where the system has no text size setting (macOS), in a branch that says so with a comment `a11y: fixed size` on the same line (acceptance check 1). *Basis: documented (HIG, Accessibility; Typography); observed (an iPad app whose fonts were `.system(size:)`, even with `@ScaledMetric` for the size, was reported by the audit for 69 elements as "Dynamic Type font sizes are partially unsupported", though its text did grow at the largest accessibility size; moving the fonts to text styles left 5).*
+2. **An app's own zoom composes with Dynamic Type, never replaces it.** An app that lets the person zoom its text (Command-plus) applies the zoom on a touch screen as a number of steps of Dynamic Type, added to the system's size (`DynamicTypeSize.allCases` is ordered, so the shift is index arithmetic, clamped at both ends), applied once at the outermost window (an environment flag stops an inner window shifting it again). On the Mac, which has no Dynamic Type, the zoom multiplies the point size. Metrics that are not text (icon sizes, heights, spacing) use `@ScaledMetric(relativeTo:)`, so they grow with the text. *Basis: documented (SwiftUI `ScaledMetric`, `DynamicTypeSize`, `dynamicTypeSize(_:)`); design (the zoom as a shift, so that one setting does not fight the other).*
+3. **Every control has a name that says what it does.** A control with no text on it (an icon button) is built as `Button("Close All", systemImage: "...") { }` with `.labelStyle(.iconOnly)`, or has `.accessibilityLabel`. The name starts with a verb, does not say "button", and is the same name on every surface that shows the control (a core owns it, rule 11). A symbol's default description is never the name. A hint says what the control does when that is not clear from the name. A list or an outline is named too: on the Mac a SwiftUI `List` is an `NSOutlineView`, and the audit reported each as an element with no description until it had `.accessibilityLabel("Files")` or `("Outline")`; a text field whose only text is a placeholder has no label either, and gets one. A column drawn beside text (a ruler of line numbers) is not an element of its own and is hidden. *Basis: documented (HIG, VoiceOver: alternative labels for all key elements; Voice Control users say the name to tap the control); observed (the "Enter Full Screen" case above; on the Mac, two outlines, a search field and a ruler reported with no description).*
+4. **A tap target is at least 28 by 28 points on iOS and 20 by 20 on macOS, whatever is drawn in it.** The glyph may be 16 points; the target is the rule. A modifier gives an icon the target without changing the drawing (`.frame(minWidth: 28, minHeight: 28).contentShape(Rectangle())`). A bar a finger drags (a divider) is hit across 28 points on a touch screen and 16 with a pointer. The default size of a control on iOS is 44 by 44, and the padding around a bezeled element is about 12 points. *Basis: documented (HIG, Accessibility: control sizes, iOS default 44 by 44 and least 28 by 28, macOS 28 and 20); observed (118 "Hit area is too small" findings on five screens: 16 point header controls, 16 point disclosure chevrons, and 16 by 15 point icon buttons; none after the targets were raised).*
+5. **Every gesture has an alternative that needs no gesture.** A drag to rearrange is a set of named actions on the element (`.accessibilityActions`, a custom action in UIKit, `NSAccessibilityCustomAction` in AppKit): "Swap with Source", "Maximize pane", "Close pane". A drag to resize is an adjustable element: `.accessibilityAdjustableAction` in SwiftUI, `accessibilityIncrement()` and `accessibilityDecrement()` in UIKit, `accessibilityPerformIncrement()` in AppKit, each moving the value by a fixed step and the value read as a percentage. On the Mac a bare element with an adjustable action has no role (the audit reports "Unknown role"), so there the divider is represented as a slider (`accessibilityRepresentation` with a `Slider` stepped by the same step); on iOS the representation made the audit report a slider with nothing drawn, so iOS keeps the adjustable action. The actions and the steps are defined once in the core and tested there. *Basis: documented (HIG, Accessibility: provide alternatives to gestures; VoiceOver; SwiftUI `accessibilityAdjustableAction`, `accessibilityActions`, `accessibilityRepresentation`); observed (the Mac audit's "Unknown role" for the bare element, and the iOS findings with no element for the slider).*
+6. **Put the name and the actions on the element a person reaches, not on a container that holds controls.** A pane is reached by its title bar: one element named by the title, valued by its position and state ("2 of 3, focused"), with the actions of rule 5. Wrapping the whole pane in `.accessibilityElement(children: .contain)` with actions made the audit count every control and every line of text inside it as a small tap target (93 more findings on one app), and took the description of the pane's content from the host that owns it. Decoration (a symbol beside a title, a large number in an empty pane, a status symbol beside a word that says the same) is hidden with `.accessibilityHidden(true)`. *Basis: observed; documented for hiding decoration (HIG, VoiceOver: hide decorative elements, describe meaningful images).*
+7. **Contrast is at least 4.5 to 1 for text up to 17 points, and 3 to 1 for text of 18 points or bold, in Light, in Dark and with Increase Contrast.** Secondary text is not the system's `.secondary` on a tinted or translucent surface: it is the primary color at a strength that keeps the ratio on the lightest and darkest panes the app draws, and stronger when Increase Contrast is on (a `ShapeStyle` that resolves from the environment). A state shown by a color (good, wrong, to watch) has a darker variant in Light that keeps the ratio, and is never shown by color alone: it has a symbol and a word. Contrast is a number and is tested as one: the WCAG formula over the colors' own components, against the extreme backgrounds, in Light and Dark. *Basis: documented (HIG, Accessibility: color and contrast; Dark Mode and Increase Contrast; not color alone); observed (the audit reported 59 contrast findings, mostly secondary text; a text color of 72 percent primary, 88 with Increase Contrast, computed at 4.5 to 1 or better on backgrounds from white to a mid gray in Light and from black to a dark gray in Dark, removed all but a few).*
+8. **A change a person cannot see is announced.** When the layout changes (a pane is maximized, restored or closed), the app posts a short sentence (`AccessibilityNotification.Announcement` in SwiftUI, `UIAccessibility.post(notification: .announcement, argument:)` in UIKit, `NSAccessibility.post(element:notification:userInfo:)` with `.announcementRequested` in AppKit). *Basis: documented (HIG, VoiceOver: announce changes; SwiftUI `AccessibilityNotification`).*
+9. **Reduce Motion turns springs and slides into a snap.** A view that animates its layout reads the setting (`accessibilityReduceMotion` in SwiftUI, `UIAccessibility.isReduceMotionEnabled`, `NSWorkspace.accessibilityDisplayShouldReduceMotion`) and does not animate while it is on; a host that chose no animation keeps it off whatever the system says. *Basis: documented (HIG, Accessibility: Reduce Motion; the settings list of Performing accessibility testing).*
+10. **UI drawn on layers is exposed element by element.** A surface that draws panes, dividers and glyphs on `CALayer`s has no views to expose, so it builds accessibility elements (`UIAccessibilityElement` with the frame in container space, `NSAccessibilityElement` with the frame in parent space) from the same descriptions after every layout change, with activate, increment and decrement wired to the same operations as a tap and a drag. *Basis: documented (UIKit and AppKit accessibility element APIs); observed (the elements' labels and frames are read back in a headless test).*
+11. **The core describes, the surfaces realize, and the protocol makes a surface say so.** A UI framework with a platform-neutral core puts in the core, with no platform framework: the words of every control (label and hint), the minimum target size, the description of each element (label, value, actions), the step of an adjustable element, and the announcement sentences. It defines a protocol each surface must adopt that declares which duties it fulfils (an option set: element per pane, control labels, adjustable dividers, actions, announcements, reduced motion), and a test per surface requires the full set, so a new surface cannot be added without saying, and a duty cannot be dropped without a failing test. Platform setters that differ between AppKit and UIKit (label, value, hint, custom actions, announcement, Reduce Motion) live once in the cross-platform layer (AppUIKit, `ui/appuikit.md`). *Basis: design; documented for the underlying APIs.*
+12. **The audit is a UI test that fails.** Every screen and state of an app is audited in a UI test with `app.performAccessibilityAudit()` (iOS 17, macOS 14, Xcode 16.3), at least: the first screen, a document open, a selection made, each sheet, each tab of a phone, portrait and landscape, and Dark. The handler lets a finding pass only if it is on a ledger of known findings kept in the test target, each entry with the audit type, the element's label, the screens it is allowed on and the reason, and the reason says when the cause is not found. A finding not on the ledger fails the test, so nothing new gets in, and a fix is the deletion of its line. An entry may also name the kinds of element it covers (a disabled container, the Touch Bar the system adds on the Mac), and a finding with no element is let pass only by an entry with no label. A disabled control is let pass for contrast (inactive components are exempt in WCAG 1.4.3). Each audited screen is kept as a picture, and **a finding is checked against the picture before it is believed or listed**: measure the pixels (the text color against its background, with the WCAG formula) and record a finding the pixels contradict as a false positive with the measured ratio (the audit reported "Contrast failed" for titles that measure 13.9 to 1 and labels that measure 17.1 to 1). The audit enlarges the text while it checks; an app whose layout adapts at accessibility sizes (rule 14) changes while it is audited, so findings arrive without an element, and those are listed on their own, narrowly, with the reason. The macOS SDK has no member for the text-clipped and Dynamic Type checks, so a ledger shared with the Mac names them by their raw values (131072 and 65536, observed). The Mac app is audited too (`performAccessibilityAudit` is available from macOS 14); it found, on a window that had passed on the iPad, the divider with no role, two outlines and a search field with no description, and a ruler. *Basis: documented (`performAccessibilityAudit`; Performing accessibility testing: automate with audits in UI tests); design (the ledger); observed (the Mac findings and the pixel measurements).*
+13. **What the audit cannot do is done by hand and said so.** VoiceOver, Voice Control, Switch Control and Assistive Access need a physical device; the Simulator does not run them. The audit is run at the default text size and in Dark; it does not read a screen as VoiceOver does and does not judge whether a name is a good one. An app that has not been used with VoiceOver on a device says "audited, not used with VoiceOver", never "accessible". *Basis: documented (Performing accessibility testing: the settings and the tools that need a device).*
+14. **Layout at accessibility text sizes is part of the work.** At the largest accessibility size (AX5) a window of several panes cannot show them side by side. The arrangement changes (one pane at a time, a list instead of a row, a scroll view), and no information is carried only by a string that is cut off. A title that is cut is wrapped or reached another way. The decision is a pure function of the width and the text size (`usesPages(isCompactWidth:textSize:)`) and is tested over every size. *Basis: documented (HIG, Accessibility: support larger text; avoid truncation); observed (an iPad app at AX XXXL showed pane titles cut to one letter and the outline's rows to "r..." in the side-by-side arrangement; after the window took the phone's arrangement at accessibility sizes, the iPad showed the file list as one full-width page with readable text; looked at for the first screen only).*
+
+## How to test it
+
+- **The descriptions in the core.** Build a layout of three panes and require: each visible pane described once in reading order with its position and its focus; its actions are maximize or restore, close (only when the host allows closing) and a swap with each other pane; performing a swap action exchanges the two panes; a maximized pane is the only one described and has a restore action and no swaps; each divider's label names its two sides and its value is the percentage; an increment moves it by one step and a decrement back; a step never leaves 0 to 1 for any start; a side holding several panes is named by its count; every control role has a label, a hint, and a minimum target of at least 28.
+- **Each surface.** Require that its protocol value is the full set; read back from the surface what the core described: labels and values of the elements (SwiftUI: through the model; layer view: the elements' labels, frames and handlers; native views: the labels and values on the views), that incrementing a divider element changes the ratio, that activating the close element closes the pane, that the close target is at least 28 and fits the header. Run on macOS and on an iOS simulator, because the AppKit and UIKit branches are different code (a branch that was never compiled for iOS hid a build failure).
+- **The cross-platform setters.** Read back what was set (label, value, hint), the names and order of custom actions, that each runs its handler and that setting none clears them. Note: an `NSTextField`'s accessibility value is its text and ignores a value set on it, so state that must be spoken goes into the label there.
+- **Dynamic Type.** The shift is tested as a pure function: zero changes nothing, steps move along the ordered sizes, a shift past either end stops at the end, up and down by the same steps returns the size. The zoom's step offset is tested from the normal size to both ends with no gap.
+- **Contrast as arithmetic.** Compute the WCAG ratio from the style's own numbers against the lightest and darkest backgrounds, in Light and Dark, and with Increase Contrast; require 4.5.
+- **Reduce Motion.** Switch the model's setting and require that animation is off and restored, and that a host's choice of no animation wins.
+- **The audit.** The UI tests of the iPad (landscape, portrait, Dark) and iPhone (each page, each sheet) run it with the ledger.
+- **By eye, at the largest size.** Set the simulator's text size (`xcrun simctl ui <device> content_size accessibility-extra-extra-extra-large`), launch, and look; set it back (`content_size large`) when done.
+
+## Acceptance check
+
+Run from the repository root. `SOURCES` are the Swift sources of the views, `UITESTS` the UI test folders. Every command must print nothing, except where it says otherwise:
+
+```sh
+# 1. no fixed point size of a font without the marker that says why (the Mac has no Dynamic Type)
+grep -rnE 'font\(\.system\(size:|\.system\(size:' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift' | grep -v 'a11y: fixed size'
+
+# 2. no icon-only button named by its symbol: a Button whose label is just an Image must carry accessibilityLabel in the lines after it (or be a Button(title, systemImage:))
+find "$SOURCES" -name '*.swift' -exec perl -0ne 'while (/(Button *\{[^}]*\} *label: *\{ *Image\(systemName[^\n]*\n(?:[^\n]*\n){0,6})/g) { print "$ARGV: $1\n" unless $1 =~ /accessibilityLabel/ }' {} +
+
+# 3. every app target that has UI tests has an audit in them (this must print the files that have one)
+grep -rl 'performAccessibilityAudit' "$UITESTS" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 4. the audit's handler is never a bare "return true": a ledger decides
+grep -rnE 'performAccessibilityAudit *\{[^}]*return true *\}' "$UITESTS" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 5. the core of a UI framework imports no platform framework and declares the duties (this must print the protocol)
+grep -rn 'protocol .*AccessibilityRendering' "$CORE" --include='*.swift'
+grep -rnE '^import (SwiftUI|UIKit|AppKit)' "$CORE" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 6. no color given to text from the bright system palette without a contrast test beside it
+grep -rnE 'foregroundStyle\(\.(red|orange|green|yellow)\)|foregroundStyle\(Color\.(red|orange|green|yellow)\)' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 7. the test suites pass on macOS and on an iOS simulator (the two build different branches)
+swift test
+xcodebuild test -scheme "<package scheme>" -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,id=<id>'
+```
+
+Promote commands 1, 2, 4 and 6 to a build-failing script with a self-test (a fixture that breaks each must fail it; a fixture that obeys all must pass it), and the tests above to the project's test suite. The check passes when the commands print as stated, the tests pass on both platforms, the audit tests pass with their ledger, and the ledger's entries each have a reason. The claim "accessible" is made only with rule 13 stated: audited at the default size and in Dark (the Mac in its own appearance), not audited at the largest accessibility size, and not used with VoiceOver on a device, until each has been done. Rule 14 is established only for the screens that have been looked at at AX5 (the first screen of the iPad app); the others are not.

+# App Intents: one adapter, intents declared by package, every word a late-resolved localized resource
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every project that exposes actions to Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, or the Action button.** App Intents code lives in one adapter target and nothing else imports the framework. Each intent is thin: it builds one engine command from its parameters, asks an injected door, and reads the outcome. An intent that lives in a Swift package is declared by an `AppIntentsPackage`. Every string a person sees or hears is a localized resource that the system resolves late, never a `String` made inside `perform()`.
+
+Each rule below carries its basis: **documented** (Apple documentation, named so it can be read) or **observed** (found by running the toolchain; it names the version, and it is re-checked when the toolchain changes).
+
+## Why
+
+- **The system, not the app, owns the moment of use.** The system creates an intent with no arguments, fills its parameters, and runs `perform()` in a process that may be an extension while the app is not running. Anything the intent needs must therefore be registered, not passed, and anything it says must still be translatable by a process that has other language preferences than the one that wrote it.
+- **The framework is an adapter, not a layer.** App Intents is a way for the system to reach the app. The engine does not know it exists; the same command a button produces is the command an intent produces, so a test of the command covers both.
+- **A package is not an app.** The compiler extracts intent metadata when it builds an app or extension target. Source that sits in a package is found only when the app or extension says it includes that package.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **One adapter target.** `import AppIntents` appears in exactly one target, the adapter, and in the composition roots that register it. The engine, the models, and the protocols they share never import it. *Basis: project architecture (`package-architecture.md`, `package-import-contract.md`); the framework itself does not require it.*
+2. **Each intent is the twin of one engine command.** The intent holds no logic of its own beyond turning parameters into a command (rejecting a value that is not possible, and telling the person) and turning the outcome into words. A test pairs every case of the engine's command enumeration with a twin or with a written classification (exposed, planned, internal, ineligible), with no `default:` in the switch, so a new command cannot be forgotten silently. *Basis: Oracle First (`core/oracle-first.md`): every case handled or classified.*
+3. **Created without arguments; dependencies are registered.** The system instantiates an intent with `init()`, so an intent takes its collaborators from `@Dependency`, registered once with `AppDependencyManager` by the composition root of every process that can run an intent (the app and each extension). The dependency is one `Sendable` value that holds the door to the engine and nothing the intent could mutate. *Basis: documented (`AppIntent`, `AppDependencyManager`, `AppDependency`).*
+4. **A test never resolves the dependency through the framework.** `perform()` forwards to an internal `perform(using:)` that takes the door as a parameter, and every test calls that one. *Basis: observed (Xcode 27, Swift 6.4): `@Dependency` outside the intent flow traps, so a test cannot read it.*
+5. **An intent in a package is declared by a package type.** The adapter target declares a type that conforms to `AppIntentsPackage`; each app and each extension that uses the adapter declares its own `AppIntentsPackage` whose `includedPackages` lists it. A package whose intents are not included is silently absent from Shortcuts. *Basis: documented (`AppIntentsPackage`).*
+6. **Every word is a localized resource.** The title, the description, each parameter title, each display representation of an enum or entity, each dialog, each error, each parameter summary, and each App Shortcut phrase and short title is localized, in the languages the product ships. English is the source language. *Basis: documented (`Adding parameters to an app intent`: "Always provide localized strings for app intents, App Shortcuts, and their parameters").*
+7. **The bundle is named.** `LocalizedStringResource` and `String(localized:)` look in the main bundle unless told otherwise, and the main bundle is not the package. Every resource the adapter writes names the adapter's bundle (`.atURL(Bundle.module.bundleURL)`), through one helper, so no call site can forget. *Basis: documented (`LocalizedStringResource`, `#bundle` proposal: code in a framework or package must specify the bundle).*
+8. **Late resolution.** What the system shows or speaks is handed over as a `LocalizedStringResource`, not as a `String`: `IntentDialog(_:)` and `IntentDialog(full:supporting:)` take resources, and an error conforms to `CustomLocalizedStringResourceConvertible`. The system resolves it in the language of the surface that shows it, which can differ from the app's. `IntentDialog(stringLiteral:)` of a string built in `perform()` is a violation. *Basis: documented (`LocalizedStringResource`: "App Intents ... late resolution ... the Siri UI to potentially use different localization preferences").*
+9. **A sentence with interpolation keeps its plural forms.** Build the resource from a `String.LocalizationValue` and the bundle with `LocalizedStringResource(_:table:locale:bundle:comment:)`; the key is the format with its placeholders (`%lld new messages.`), and the catalog holds one plural variation per form of each language: one and other in English and German, one, few and other in Croatian. Never write "item(s)" and never decide a singular in Swift. *Basis: documented (initializer); the key derivation and the plural forms **observed**.*
+10. **A sentence is one key.** A clause that is sometimes present is its own whole sentence with its own key, chosen in Swift, and not a translated fragment appended to another: word order, agreement, and punctuation differ between languages. Where one sentence holds several numbers, the translation may read them as a label and a number, or use substitutions, so that no noun has to agree with a count it is not next to. *Basis: localization practice for string catalogs; the plural substitutions **observed**.*
+11. **Limits are checked once, in the adapter, and told.** A value outside what a command may take is a failure the person reads, never a value the engine is left to refuse. Constants an attribute needs (a range) must be literals in the attribute; keep one source and a test that the literal equals it. *Basis: observed for the literal requirement; the rest is the thin-intent rule.*
+12. **A restricted choice is an `AppEnum` or an entity with a query.** An enum is `String`-backed and `RawRepresentable`; a finite list is never a free `String` parameter. An entity names only what a person already sees and carries no content of a message. *Basis: documented (`AppEnum`, `AppEntity`).*
+13. **`perform()` is concurrency-safe by construction.** The system runs it on an arbitrary queue and an `AppIntent` is `Sendable`; work that touches UI is marked `@MainActor`, and the intent holds no mutable state. *Basis: documented (`Creating your first app intent`, `AppIntent`).*
+14. **Phrases name the app.** Each `AppShortcutsProvider` phrase contains `\(.applicationName)`, and the phrases are localized in the file Apple's sample uses for them (`AppShortcuts.strings`, in the app bundle). *Basis: documented (`AppShortcutsProvider` sample); where the file lives for a package is **not** established and is checked on a device.*
+15. **Metadata is proved where it is made.** A passing unit test proves the words and the command, not that Shortcuts lists the intent in each language. The proof is a build of the app or extension, then the steps of the Apple guide (Shortcuts, Apps, the app's icon, run), repeated with the device set to each shipped language. Until that is done, the claim is "tested at the reading level, not seen in Shortcuts". *Basis: documented (`Creating your first app intent`: the compiler generates the metadata when an app that contains intents is built).*
+
+## How to test the words
+
+- **Resolve in a language by setting `locale` on a copy of the resource** (`var r = resource; r.locale = Locale(identifier: "hr"); String(localized: r)`). That is the documented way and it picks the language. `String(localized:bundle:locale:)` does **not**: the `locale` there formats numbers while the process's languages choose the strings (observed), so a test that uses it reads the machine's language.
+- **Key sets agree.** A test reads the catalog from disk and the sources, and fails when a sentence in the sources has no entry or an entry is asked for by no source. The scan accepts both `LocalizedStringResource(` and `.init(` and a literal wrapped over lines, since the formatter changes the layout.
+- **Each key is complete.** Every key has every shipped language, every localization is non-empty, and the arguments a translation reads are exactly the key's (`%1$lld` positions and plural substitutions counted).
+- **Plural forms are those of the language.** Check the set of categories per language, and spell out expected text for counts that fall in each Croatian category (0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12, 21, 22, 25, 101), since a wrong category reads as correct English to a reviewer who does not read the language.
+- **The language asked for is the one read.** Assert that a language the catalog lacks reads as the source language, and that a locale with a region override reads the language of its tag, so a test passes on any machine.
+- **Mutations.** Mutate the language choice, a plural form of the catalog, and the point where a reading ignores its locale, and require the tests to fail (`core/testing-discipline.md`).
+
+## Acceptance check
+
+Run from the repository root, with `ADAPTER` the adapter target's source directory and `SOURCES` the directory of all package sources. Every command must print nothing, except check 2, which must print at least one line:
+
+```sh
+# 1. the framework is imported only by the adapter
+grep -rlE '^[[:space:]]*import AppIntents' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift' | grep -v "^$ADAPTER/"
+
+# 2. the adapter declares an AppIntentsPackage (this one must print a line)
+grep -rnE ':[[:space:]]*AppIntentsPackage' "$ADAPTER" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 3. no title, description, or parameter title is a bare literal (each must name the bundle)
+grep -rnE 'static (let|var) (title|description)[^=]*=[[:space:]]*(IntentDescription\()?"' "$ADAPTER" --include='*.swift'
+grep -rnE '@Parameter\(title:[[:space:]]*"' "$ADAPTER" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 4. no dialog is made from a String
+grep -rnE 'IntentDialog\(stringLiteral:' "$ADAPTER" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 5. no sentence is resolved to a String inside the adapter's intents
+grep -rnE 'String\(localized:' "$ADAPTER" --include='*Intent.swift'
+```
+
+Promote the five commands to a build-failing script with a self-test (a fixture that breaks each one must fail it; a fixture that obeys all must pass it), and the key-set, completeness, and plural tests above to the project's test suite. The check passes when the commands print as stated, the tests pass, and rule 15 is either done or stated as not done.

+# App logging: every app writes a structured log, and can turn a moment of it into a report
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every app that ships.** An app records what it does as structured entries (names, numbers and categories, never what the person is working on), through one recorder given to it, and has a Developer menu that turns the log around a moment into a report the person may send. The menu exists in a Debug build and a Beta build and not in a Release build.
+
+Each rule carries its basis: **documented** (Apple documentation, named), **observed** (found by running it), or **design** (a choice, with the reason).
+
+## Why
+
+- **A bug that cannot be reproduced can still be read.** A log of intents and state changes, with the version of the build, says what the app did before the moment someone marked.
+- **A log that holds the person's work is a leak.** The log is kept on disk and put in reports; what the person typed or pasted must never be in it.
+- **A report that is not the person's choice is surveillance.** Nothing is sent by the app; the person reads the message and presses Send.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **One recorder, given.** An app makes its recorder once, at its composition root, and hands it to what logs. No global logger, no singleton (`dependency-injection.md`). A test run gets a recorder that writes nowhere. *Basis: design.*
+2. **Entries are facts, not content.** An entry has a category, a name, a level, an outcome and fields of numbers, booleans and short names. A field never holds text the person wrote, pasted, or opened; a failure's reason is cut to its first line and a bounded length, and what it quotes between quotes is replaced. A fingerprint (a hash) of the content may stand for it. *Basis: design; the reason quoted text is cut is that a compiler or parser message quotes its input.*
+3. **Every intent and every change of state is an entry.** What a person does (selection, edit, toggle, command) and what the app then is (loading, done, failed) are written at the one place that makes the change, so the log is complete without each view remembering to log. *Basis: design.*
+4. **Spans for work that takes time.** Work with a start and an end writes both with its duration and its outcome, and a failure says why. *Basis: design.*
+5. **The log names the build.** The first entry of a run carries the version of the build in the form `versioning.md` rule 8 gives, so a report says which build it came from. *Basis: design.*
+6. **It can be switched off by the person, and is on by default.** A defaults key (`-<App>Logging NO`) turns it off. *Basis: design.*
+7. **The Developer menu is gated in the one file that starts the app.** `#if DEBUG || BETA` sets a flag in the app target's entry file and hands it to the coordinator; package code never reads the compile flag. The project has a `Beta` configuration (Release settings and the `BETA` condition) and the scheme archives with it. A Release build must not contain the menu. *Basis: design; verify it on a built app, not on the code (see the check).*
+8. **A report is made on the person's request, for any reason.** The menu item is "Send a Report…", not "Report a crash": a slow moment, a wrong picture or a bug is as good a reason. It takes a note, offers what else may go in, and makes a zip. *Basis: design.*
+9. **A report holds the log around the mark and facts of the window.** The log window is a bounded count of entries before the mark and all after it; the snapshot is counts, switches and fingerprints. Whatever else (the pasted source, the layers of the app being read, the log being read) is **content**: off by default, named to the person in the app's words, and in the report only when chosen. A content file cannot take a name the report keeps for itself or leave the report's folder. *Basis: design.*
+10. **The report is kept, and is mailed only on the person's choice.** The zip is kept beside the log (the newest twenty), so it can be sent later. "Open Email" opens a new message in the person's mail app with the zip attached and the note in the body; without a mail account the file is offered for sharing. The app sends nothing. *Basis: documented (Apple, the system's mail compose and share interfaces) for the means; design for the choice.*
+11. **The viewer is the same format.** The tool that reads logs and reports reads this log, refuses a report that holds a link or a path that leaves its folder, and shows the marks. An older viewer refusing a newer category is stated, so viewer and apps ship from one release. *Basis: observed (an older viewer refused the `bug` category).*
+12. **Every app, not most.** Each app of a repository has the log, the menu and the report, or its absence is a named row in the repository's audit with the reason (a test fixture app is one). *Basis: design.*
+
+## How to test it
+
+- **The log is held to the model.** Drive the model through every intent and require an entry for each, and no field of any entry equal to, or containing, the content the test fed it.
+- **The window of a report against its closed form.** For a log of known length and a mark at a known place, the report holds exactly the entries before and after that the rule states.
+- **A whole report, from the mark to the zip, read back.** Unpack it with the viewer's reader and require the mark, the snapshot, the README, and the content only when asked for.
+- **The menu in a built app.** Build Debug, Beta and Release; open the app and read its menu bar through the accessibility interface of that one process. Debug and Beta have the Developer menu; Release does not.
+- **The questions with a stand-in for the screen.** A scripted asker answers each question in turn so the order and the refusals (no mail account, a cancelled sheet) are tested without a window.
+
+## Acceptance check
+
+Run from the repository root. `SOURCES` is the directory of package sources, `APPS` the app targets. Each command must print nothing unless it says it must print a line:
+
+```sh
+# 1. the compile flag is read only in the app targets, never in package code
+grep -rnE '#if.*(DEBUG|BETA)' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift' | grep -v -E 'Tests/|#if (DEBUG|BETA).*(canImport|os\()'
+
+# 2. every app entry file gates the menu (each app must print a line)
+for f in $(grep -rlE '@main' "$APPS" --include='*.swift'); do grep -Ln 'DEBUG || BETA' "$f"; done
+
+# 3. a Beta configuration exists in each project (must print a line per project)
+grep -n 'BETA' "$APPS"/*/project.yml
+
+# 4. no singleton recorder
+grep -rnE 'static (let|var) (shared|default|current)[^=]*(Recorder|Logger)' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 5. the Release build has no Developer menu (prints the menu titles of the built app; "Developer" must not appear)
+# build -configuration Release, launch, then read the menu bar of that process through the accessibility interface
+```
+
+Command 5 is run on a built app, once per release, and its result is recorded in the release notes. Promote 1 to 4 to a build-failing script with a self-test.
+
+Cross-references: `versioning.md` (the version the log names), `crash-and-state-reporting.md` (the crashes and states the log also holds), `dependency-injection.md` (the recorder is given), `testing.md`, `core/oracle-first.md` (the window's closed form), `core/proof-discipline.md` (the basis of each claim), `ui/appuikit.md` (the questions and the mail go through AppUIKit).

 2. **Mirror the folder.** When a folder `Sources/Foo/Bar/` holds a type `X`, the type lives at `Foo.Bar.X`. The namespace tree is a literal reflection of the file system tree.

Where a synchronous API must guard shared state (a protocol requirement, a synchronous engine that cannot be `async`), use `Synchronization.Mutex` (SE-0433): `Mutex<State>` is `Sendable` without `@unchecked`, the state is reachable only inside `withLock`, and the critical section stays visible. Keep the work inside `withLock` short and never call back into the same lock from it.
 
 **Why (SE-0302, Swift 5.5).** `Sendable` was introduced because passing arbitrary references across isolation boundaries makes data-race safety impossible to verify locally. The protocol turns *"is this safe to send across a concurrency domain?"* into a property the compiler can check by induction on stored properties. Implicit conformance for value types is the design intent: most structs should be `Sendable` without ceremony, because most value types compose `Sendable` parts. Explicit annotation on public types is for API clarity, not for the compiler.

+# Crash and state reporting: MetricKit and StateReporting, joined to the app's own log
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every app that has the log of `app-logging.md`.** The app asks the system for what it knows about its crashes and hangs (MetricKit), tells the system what state it is in (StateReporting), and brings both into its own log and its reports, so a crash is read next to what the person did before it.
+
+Each rule carries its basis: **documented**, **observed**, or **design**. Where a claim about Apple's new frameworks was read from the documentation and not run, it says so.
+
+## Why
+
+- **A crash takes the log's last seconds with it.** The system's report has the stack and the process; the app's log has the intents. Neither is enough alone.
+- **The system can say which state the app was in.** A crash that says "while reading a report in the log viewer" is triaged in seconds; one that says nothing is not.
+- **The system delivers when it chooses.** An app cannot count on a crash arriving soon, so a second, local door is needed.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Use the system's frameworks where they exist, guarded.** MetricKit's `MetricManager` and its diagnostic reports, and the `StateReporting` framework, are used behind `#if canImport(...)` and `#available(macOS 27, iOS 27, macCatalyst 27, *)`; the deployment target stays where the app's rule sets it, and nothing happens before those releases. Building them needs the SDK that has them. *Basis: documented (Apple, MetricKit and StateReporting, 2026); the deployment guard is design.*
+2. **MetricKit is delivered on a device and when the system chooses.** Subscribe at launch, read the crash diagnostics of an earlier run, and treat the first delivery as late. On the Simulator, and in the test of one Mac in this repository's history, nothing arrived within three minutes. *Basis: observed (no delivery within three minutes on a Mac) and documented (delivery is the system's); a claim that MetricKit "reports crashes promptly" is **not established**.*
+3. **A second door on macOS: the system's crash reports for the app.** On a Mac, the crash reports in `~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports` (`.ips`) for the app are read at launch, within a bounded age (three days here), the newest alone prompting. *Basis: observed.*
+4. **One crash seen through both doors is one crash.** Merge by process id within a window of minutes (five here). The merge is tested, including that a report older than the age bound is not read. *Basis: design; a regression that dropped the age check was caught by this test.*
+5. **A kept crash is data for the next report, never for the log's fields.** The crash is stored beside the log (the newest twenty). The log gets `crash.diagnosed` with the signal, the reason and the version, and never the call stack. The system's report, which holds stacks and paths that can name the person's account, goes only into a report the person chooses to send, and a crash a report has taken is not put in the next. *Basis: design.*
+6. **The prompt is the person's.** At launch, in a Debug or Beta build, a recent crash opens the report flow with the note "The app crashed recently." for the person to add to or leave. It never sends. *Basis: design.*
+7. **The app reports its state.** One reporter per app (`AppStateReporter`) tells the system a label and facts of the app: which screen, which example, which target, whether a report is open. Never a fact of what the person works on. Where a state is a tab or a mode, the change is reported at the one place that changes it. *Basis: documented (StateReporting reports app state to the system); design for the facts allowed.*
+8. **The domain is told to MetricKit, and the states come back.** The domain of the reporter is given when the crash watch starts, so the system's report names the states active just before the crash; the kept crash copies them to the log as `states`. *Basis: documented that diagnostic reports carry environment states; the end-to-end return on a real crash of an app built with the new SDK is **not established** here until witnessed.*
+9. **Witness it on a real crash.** The doors are held by tests on fixtures, and by one real crash of a built app: crash it, relaunch it, and require `crash.diagnosed` in the log and the crash in the next report. *Basis: design.*
+
+## How to test it
+
+- **Fixtures for the `.ips` reader.** A report of the app, a report of another app, one older than the bound, one cut short, and one in the future; each is read or refused as the rule says.
+- **The merge.** The same crash through both doors gives one record; two crashes of two processes give two.
+- **The store.** The newest twenty are kept; a crash taken by a report is marked and not offered again.
+- **The log never holds the stack.** Feed a crash with a stack and require no field of `crash.diagnosed` to contain a frame.
+- **A real crash.** Crash a built Debug app, relaunch, and read the log and the report.

 How a TileKit-style library organizes its documentation: a single DocC catalog that is the source of truth and moves with the code in every PR.

+DocC is deliberately NOT universal. Applying it everywhere wastes build time and hosting on surfaces no one reads.

+- **Packages only, never apps.** A DocC catalog belongs to a reusable SPM package. App targets (the shipped product shells) do NOT get a `{Product}Documentation` target or a docs-publishing workflow; their behavior is documented by their code, tests, and the packages they compose.
+- **Not every package, only public OR heavily-used ones.** A package qualifies for DocC when it is (a) **public** (published / consumable outside this workspace), or (b) **heavily used** internally (a foundation package many other packages depend on). A private, single-consumer, or experimental package does NOT get a DocC catalog; inline `///` comments and its tests are its documentation.
+- If a package does not qualify, Rules 1-14 below simply do not apply to it. Skip the DocC target entirely rather than shipping an empty or unread catalog.

+# Help: one file of words, a Help Book on the Mac, in-app help and a Settings page on an iPad and an iPhone, tips where the work is
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every app that ships to people.** An app's help is written once, in one file, and every platform's help is made from that file: a Help Book on the Mac, an in-app help sheet and a page in the Settings app on an iPad and an iPhone, and a few tips (TipKit) at the places a person first needs them. Each platform says it in its own words, because a Mac is clicked and a phone is touched. The About page says the name and the version the build stamped (`versioning.md`).
+
+Each rule below carries its basis: **documented** (Apple documentation or the Human Interface Guidelines, named so it can be read), **observed** (found by building and running it), or **design** (a choice, with the reason). Where the Apple document is not in the Cupertino corpus the basis says so, and the claim rests on what was observed.
+
+## Why
+
+- **Help kept in several places says different things.** A Help Book, an in-app list and a web page written by hand disagree within a release. One file has nothing to disagree with.
+- **A platform's help in another platform's words is wrong for the reader.** The Human Interface Guidelines say help must not tell people to click a button on an iPhone or tap a menu item on a Mac. A reader who is told to hold Command on a phone stops reading.
+- **Each platform has its own place for help, and people look there.** A Mac has a Help menu with a search field; an iPad with a keyboard has the same menu bar; a phone has no menu bar, so help sits in the app and the version in the Settings app. Putting help where the platform puts it is what makes it found.
+- **A tip is for the moment of need, a page is for looking up.** The two do different work and neither replaces the other.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **One source of the words: a JSON file in the package that owns the editor.** `Resources/Help.json` holds the topics (`id`, `title`, `symbol`, and either `text` for every platform or `mac` and `touch` for a topic the platforms say differently) and the keys of the Mac. The file is a resource of the package; the in-app help decodes it, and the Help Book is made from it by a script. No topic is written as a string in Swift. A damaged file is refused when it is decoded, and the in-app help says so; it never shows an empty help. *Basis: design.*
+2. **Each platform is told in its own words.** The words are chosen for the platform the help is read on: the Mac's help says click, Command, the File menu and a window; a touch screen's says tap, touch, the list of files and the Files app. A touch screen's help has no list of keyboard keys. *Basis: documented (Human Interface Guidelines, Offering help: "don't write copy that tells people to click a button on an iPhone or tap a menu item on a Mac").*
+3. **The Mac carries an Apple Help Book, and the system makes the Help menu from it.** The app's `Info.plist` names the book with `CFBundleHelpBookFolder` (the folder, `<App>.help`) and `CFBundleHelpBookName` (the book's own bundle identifier). The book is a folder in the app's resources. An app that carries a book does not replace the Help menu: a SwiftUI `CommandGroup(replacing: .help)` is only for an app that has none, and the check for the keys decides which. The system's menu has the search field and the item that opens the help viewer. *Basis: observed (macOS 26, SwiftUI: with the two keys set and no replacing group, the Help menu showed "<App> Help", the item opened the system's help window with its search field and the book's access page; with a replacing group the system's window did not open). The Help Book format is described in Apple's Help Programming Guide, which is not in the Cupertino corpus.*
+4. **The Help Book has the structure the viewer reads.** `<App>.help/Contents/Info.plist` has `CFBundleIdentifier` (equal to `CFBundleHelpBookName` of the app), `CFBundleName`, `CFBundlePackageType` `BNDL`, `CFBundleSignature` `hbwr`, `HPDBookType` `3`, `HPDBookTitle`, `HPDBookAccessPath` (the access page), `HPDBookIndexPath`, `HPDBookCSIndexPath` and `HPDBookKBProduct`. `Contents/Resources/<lang>.lproj/` holds the access page, a page for each topic in `pgs/`, the shared style in `shrd/`, and the two search indexes. Each page has `<meta name="AppleTitle">`, `description`, `keywords` and `robots` `anchors`. The indexes are made by `hiutil -Caf <name>.helpindex <lang>.lproj` and `hiutil -I corespotlight -Caf <name>.cshelpindex <lang>.lproj`. The style follows the system's colors and appearance (`color-scheme: light dark`). *Basis: observed (the book built this way opened in the system's help window, with its topics, its pages, its search field, and in dark appearance).*
+5. **The Help Book is generated from the file, and committed.** One script writes the book from `Help.json`; `--check` regenerates it into a throwaway folder and compares it with the committed book, leaving out the two index files, which hold times. A build needs nothing outside its repository, and a change of the words that is not carried into the book fails the gate. *Basis: design.*
+6. **The book's own files are named in lowercase, as `file-naming.md` asks.** The names are free in the book's `Info.plist`, so the access page and the indexes are `<app>.html`, `<app>.helpindex` and `<app>.cshelpindex`. The names a tool expects verbatim (`Info.plist`, and `Root.plist` of a Settings bundle) are exempt in the file-name gate, by name. *Basis: design; documented for the exempt names (Apple, Settings bundle: the main file is `Root.plist`).*
+7. **An iPad and an iPhone have no Help Book; their help is an in-app page, in the places the platform has.** The page is the list of the same topics, in the touch words, in a sheet with a Done button. It is opened from a Help menu of its own in the toolbar (not from inside View), and, on an iPad, from the menu bar as well: About in the app menu and Help in the Help menu, which a keyboard reveals. A phone has no menu bar, so the toolbar is its place. *Basis: documented for the menu bar (Human Interface Guidelines, The menu bar: menu bar menus on iPad are similar to those on Mac and appear in the same order); design for the sheet and the toolbar.*
+8. **About says the name and the version, in the app menu of the Mac.** It shows the display name, the version and the build number as the build stamped them into the `Info.plist` (`versioning.md`), and the richer form for bug reports, small. It never holds a version written by hand. *Basis: design; documented for the place (the Mac's app menu, Human Interface Guidelines, The menu bar).*
+9. **The Settings app shows the version, from a Settings bundle.** An iPad and an iPhone app carry `Settings.bundle` with `Root.plist`: a group "About" and read-only title rows (`PSTitleValueSpecifier`, `Key` the defaults key) for the version and the build. The Settings app reads the rows from the app's defaults, so the app writes the two values to its defaults each time it starts, from the stamped `Info.plist`. The strings file is named by `StringsTable` (lowercase, `root`). *Basis: documented (Apple, Building a Settings bundle for your app: the title element "displays a read-only version of the setting's name and its currently configured value", read from the app's defaults database); observed (the values were in the app's defaults after a launch).*
+10. **Tips are for the first thing to do, and go when it is done.** A tip is a TipKit `Tip` with a rule that stops it once its feature has been used (a `@Parameter` set by the feature), shown inline where the thing is (`TipView`) and never over the work. TipKit is configured once, at launch, and a failure to configure is logged with its reason, not swallowed: without its store, tips are not shown, and nothing else changes. A tip never holds what the help does not also say. *Basis: documented (TipKit, iOS 17 and macOS 14; Human Interface Guidelines, Offering help: help is related to the task people are doing and easy to dismiss).*
+11. **The help is words, not pictures of the interface, until the interface is stable.** A picture of a screen is a second source that is not generated. A topic names the control and says where it is. *Basis: design.*
+12. **Language.** The help is in one language until a second is shipped; then each language has its own `<lang>.lproj` in the Help Book and its own text in the file, and the check of rule 5 covers all of them. A claim that the help is localized is made only with the files for the language present. *Basis: design; not established here (no second language has been shipped).*
+
+## How to test it
+
+- **The file against its rules.** Decode the bundled file in a test: topics and keys are present; every `id` and `title` is unique and not empty; every topic says something on the Mac and on a touch screen; a damaged file (empty, wrong shape, not JSON) is refused with an error and never read as empty help.
+- **The words against the platforms.** Join the Mac's words and the touch words of all topics and require that the Mac's contain none of `tap`, `touch`, `files app`, `open in`, and the touch words none of `click`, `command `, `file menu`. Run it on the Mac and on a simulator, so each platform is checked in its own build. Require one anchor phrase each (`command and click`, `tap it`) so that a test of absence cannot pass on an empty text.
+- **The check for a book, as a function of the plist.** Require `true` for both keys set and not empty and `false` for each of: only one key, an empty value, none.
+- **The book against the file.** Run the script's `--check`; it must say the book is current. Change a word in the file and require that it fails and names the difference.
+- **The Mac's menu in a built app.** Build and open the app; read its menu bar through the accessibility interface of that one process (`System Events`, the process, `menu "Help"`): the item "<App> Help" is there; click it and require that the system's help window opens (it belongs to the system's help viewer, whose process is not the app's), and look at the window: the access page, its topics, the search field. Never scan the windows of other processes.
+- **The sheets on a simulator.** A UI test opens the Help menu of the toolbar, reads the About page (the version matches `^Version \d+\.\d+\.\d+ \(\d+\)$` and the richer form contains `+`), closes it with Done, opens the help and finds a topic.
+- **The tip.** A UI test finds the tip, performs the thing it points at, and requires that the tip is gone.
+- **The Settings page.** After a launch the app's defaults hold the version and build keys; the built app contains `Settings.bundle`.

+# iPhone Duo: two displays, many poses, and the transitions between them
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every iPhone app and for every UI framework that runs on an iPhone.** iPhone Duo is Apple's foldable iPhone (announced September 2026). It has an outer display (5.4 inch) and an inner display (7.6 inch), a hinge between them, and many ways to hold it: closed, open, partly folded like a book, standing on a table, on its edges. An app on it is resized by the person, at any moment, while it runs: folding or unfolding the device changes the space, the size classes and the place of the controls under the app's feet. The app is built so that a resize is a re-layout of the same app, never a restart of it, and is tested in each pose and across the changes between poses.
+
+Each rule carries its basis: **documented** (an Apple page, named with its address, read on 2026-10-28), **observed** (found by running it, with the build), or **design** (a choice, with the reason). None of these pages is in the Cupertino corpus yet. The claims below rest on the pages themselves, read in full, and where a page is silent the rule says so (see "What Apple has not documented"). Availability is stated as the SDK states it (the Swift interface of the iOS 27.1 SDK and the UIKit headers, read on 2026-10-28): the arrangement, reserved-region, hinge and vertical-toolbar APIs are `anyAppleOS 27.1`, and the full-screen experience needs **Xcode 27.1**. Two facts the pages do not carry: **the macOS SDK shipped with Xcode 27.1 is 27.0 and does not contain those symbols**, and **a type listed for a platform is not a promise that every member of it is**: `ToolbarItemAxisBehavior.horizontalOnly` and `.verticalPreferred`, `ToolbarOverflowMenu` and the `prefers...` cases of `ToolbarVerticalCompressionBehavior` are marked unavailable on macOS.

+
+## Why
+
+- **The size is no longer the device's.** An app on iPhone Duo is one size on the outer display and another on the inner, and another again in Split View, partly folded, or rotated. Code that reads the size once, or decides the layout from the device, orientation or screen, is wrong the first time the person folds the phone.
+- **A fold is a transition the app lives through.** Apple says that "as iPhone Duo is opened, closed, partially folded, and rotated, content transitions between displays and adjusts for rotated positions", and that "apps resize when the device folds or unfolds". What the person was doing (a selection, a scroll position, a half-typed field, an unsaved edit, the page they were on) is still there on the other side, or the app is broken.
+- **The system does most of it, for an app that lets it.** Standard containers (split view, tab view, navigation stack) and standard bars adapt to every pose, and keep controls away from the fold. A hand-built layout has to do all of it and usually does not.
+- **The part Apple has not written down is the part most likely to bite.** The pages say little about what happens to state, scenes and animation across a fold. An app that relies on a behavior nobody documented has a bug that only shows on the device.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Build with the latest SDK, or the app is letterboxed.** Without a rebuild the app runs but the open display shows the usual iPhone size centered, and the closed display leaves the status bar and camera to its right. With the iOS 27 SDK it fills most of the inner display; with the **iOS 27.1 SDK (Xcode 27.1)** it is edge to edge and the toolbars and tab bars lay out vertically. The page of the documentation says that an app built with Xcode 26 or earlier does not extend under the status bar and camera. *Basis: documented (Preparing your app for iPhone Duo; the three steps; Tech Talk 111461).*
+2. **Read the size on every change, from the view, never from the screen or the launch.** A fold resizes the app in the middle of a session, so a size read at launch or in `viewIsAppearing` is stale. Use `view.bounds` or `window.bounds`; in SwiftUI `GeometryReader` or `onGeometryChange`; lay out in `layoutSubviews` or `viewDidLayoutSubviews`, and use `viewWillTransition(to:with:)` for work that must run on a change of size. In a window-scene delegate, `windowScene(_:didUpdateEffectiveGeometry:)` reports the scene's geometry changing and `windowScene.effectiveGeometry.coordinateSpace.bounds` is the space. Do not cache a size. *Basis: documented (the three steps: "reading size once at launch or in `viewIsAppearing` is not enough"; WWDC26 278).*
+3. **Layout is decided by size classes and the space, not by the device.** Outer display: compact width (portrait regular height, landscape compact height). Inner display: regular width and regular height. A phone app can have any combination of size classes, so `horizontalSizeClass == .regular` does not mean an iPad. Do not use `userInterfaceIdiom`, a model, a pixel size (`bounds.height == 844`), `UIDevice.current.orientation`, `statusBarOrientation`, `interfaceOrientation` or `windowScene.effectiveGeometry.interfaceOrientation` to lay out. Decide wide or tall by comparing the width and the height of the space. The inner display does not honor the orientations an app declares; they are a preference the system may ignore. Do not design a layout for each pose: design two size classes, compact and regular, and let one layout grow into the other. *Basis: documented (HIG: Device poses; the three steps; Tech Talk 111461 and 111466).*
+4. **No `UIScreen.main`.** On a two-display device it is ambiguous and "will be deprecated in a future release". Get a screen from the window scene (`view.window?.windowScene?.screen`), never store one, make a window with `UIWindow(windowScene:)`, and take the scale from `traitCollection.displayScale` (UIKit) or `@Environment(\.displayScale)` (SwiftUI). The scene lifecycle (`UISceneDelegate`) is required when building with the latest SDKs: without it the app no longer launches. *Basis: documented (the three steps; Tech Talk 111461; WWDC26 278).*
+5. **A fold changes the size class, so state does not live in anything the size class replaces.** Selection, scroll position, text, unsaved edits and the page the person is on are held by the model that is above the layout, and the layout is a pure function of the size classes (and the space). A hand-written `if compact { A } else { B }` (or two view controllers swapped by a size-class check) is a different view with a different identity on each side of the fold, and whatever `A` held in its own `@State` is gone when `B` appears. Prefer the system's adaptive containers, which keep one structure across the change: a split view (`NavigationSplitView`, `UISplitViewController`) shows two panes on the inner display and collapses to one on the outer, and tab views and navigation stacks adapt in every pose. Where a swap is unavoidable, the state is written to the model before it and read back after, and a test proves it (How to test it). Keep the information hierarchy the same on both displays and add a level on the inner one if it suits the content (the Mail example of the Human Interface Guidelines: a list or a message when closed, both side by side when open). *Basis: documented for "keep functionality and the state of elements the same between displays", "maintain the same functionality across device poses", the split view behavior, and the Mail example (HIG: Best practices; Split views); design for the rest (what a size-class swap does to a view's own state is a property of SwiftUI and UIKit, not a statement of the page).*
+6. **Move only what has to move when the device folds.** "Avoid extreme layout changes as people fold the device. Move only what's necessary to keep elements visible and easy to tap." Small adjustments, not a different arrangement. Keep controls in the same relative positions in every pose, so that nobody has to learn where actions went. Content that scrolls does not have to avoid the fold; interactive elements do, as far as they can. *Basis: documented (HIG: Reserved regions; Vertical controls; Tech Talk 111466).*
+7. **Reserved regions: ask for them, do not guess them (iOS 27.1).** A reserved region is "an area of your view that an entity reserves, such as the device hardware". There are two kinds. `occlusion`: something covers your content (the Dynamic Island, a camera, window controls): place content outside it. `division`: content splits into separate regions, as at the fold of the hinge: arrange content on both sides. A region has a frame, margins, an active state and an identifier. In SwiftUI call `GeometryProxy.reservedRegions(kind:options:layoutDirectionBehavior:)` on the proxy of a `GeometryReader`; in UIKit call `UIView.reservedRegions(kind:options:)`. By default only the active regions come back; pass `includeInactive` for the others (an inactive fold has zero width, and is still useful for deciding, for instance, on an even number of grid columns). Frames are in the view's coordinate space, measured from the top-leading corner, and are mirrored for right-to-left languages unless `layoutDirectionBehavior` is `fixed`: compute from (0, 0) and add `bounds.origin` only when placing a view. The fold's division region is active only while the device is folded. The inner camera is an occlusion region that is active only while the camera is. Framework views, alerts, menus, sheets and split views already adjust; custom layouts do it themselves, for their highest-priority controls first. The API is **iOS 27.1**: gate it with `#available(iOS 27.1, *)` and lay out without it before. *Basis: documented (GeometryProxy.reservedRegions; Tech Talk 111463; HIG: Reserved regions).*
+8. **An arrangement view for two related views, in its place (iOS 27.1).** `ArrangementView` (SwiftUI) and `UIArrangementViewController` (UIKit) lay out a primary and a secondary view by size class, orientation and reserved regions. **Split**: next to each other when wider than tall, one above the other when taller than wide; closed in landscape it shows only the primary view. **Overlay**: stacked on a flat display, and next to each other on a folded one (secondary leading and primary trailing in landscape; secondary on top and primary below in portrait). `arrangementViewStyle(.split.axes(...))` or `.overlay` chooses, and `overlayArrangementZIndex` (SwiftUI) or `state(for:)` (UIKit) lets a view follow the change between stacked and side by side. A layout already built with `HStack` or `VStack` maps to split, one built with `ZStack` to overlay. An arrangement view is not put inside a scroll view, a list, a grid, a navigation split view or another container that lays out views, and it does not hold a navigation split view or a tab view: it lays out content and has no navigation, so navigation is placed around it. *Basis: documented (ArrangementView documentation; Tech Talk 111463; HIG: Arrangement views).*
+9. **The hinge is for effects, regions are for layout.** `onHingeChange` (SwiftUI) and `UIHingeInteraction` (UIKit) report the status (closed, partly open, fully open) and the angle continuously, and the hinge is optional (`context.hinge` is nil on a device without one). Use them for live interactions and effects; use the arrangement and reserved-region APIs for layout. A state driven by the hinge is reset when the hinge is not in the state that drives it. *Basis: documented (Tech Talk 111464).*
+10. **Bars: use the system's bars, say what each item is, and let the system place it.** Toolbars, tab bars and navigation controls move to the side on the outer display and in landscape on the inner display, and stay horizontal on the inner display in portrait. Only bars the navigation containers provide are considered: a toolbar on a `NavigationStack` or `NavigationSplitView` (SwiftUI), or items on a view controller in a `UINavigationController` or `UITabBarController` (UIKit); a hand-built `UIToolbar`, `UINavigationBar` or `UITabBar` is left horizontal. Every item has a symbol and a title (the symbol is used vertically, the title in the overflow menu); an item with only a title or a custom view stays horizontal. Primary navigation (Back, Close) is first and prominent actions (Done) next: `ToolbarItemPlacement.cancellationAction` and `.topBarPinnedTrailing`, or `leadingItemGroups` and `pinnedTrailingGroup`. `axisBehavior` (27.1; its `.horizontalOnly` and `.verticalPreferred` are iOS only), `visibilityPriority` (iOS 27.0, macOS 26.1), `ToolbarOverflowMenu` (iOS 27.0, not macOS) or `additionalOverflowItems`, and `toolbarVerticalCompressionBehavior` (27.1) decide the rest; a custom view reads `toolbarVerticalEdge` (SwiftUI) or `verticalBarEdge` (UIKit) to know that its bar is vertical, and fits a fixed width. In general the default placement is not overridden (`toolbarVerticalBehavior(.disabled)` or `preferredVerticalBarBehavior` is for a single-page layout that needs the width or a sheet with one button), and no spacing is added by hand. In a split view only the detail column's bars go vertical; on the outer display a sheet's bar is vertical, and on the inner a centered sheet's stays horizontal. *Basis: documented (Preparing your app; Tech Talk 111462; HIG: Vertical controls).*
+11. **Safe areas are not symmetric.** Controls sit on one edge, and in Split View each app's controls are on its outer edge, so the left inset and the right inset differ. Never compute `bounds.width - insets.left * 2`; use `bounds.inset(by: safeAreaInsets)`. Foreground content that is interactive stays inside the safe area; a full-bleed background may extend past it. Layout margins are asymmetric too. Use `ConcentricRectangle` (SwiftUI) or `UICornerConfiguration` (UIKit) to match the corners of the screen. *Basis: documented (Tech Talk 111461; HIG: Dynamic layouts).*
+12. **Scenes: a second window is a request that can fail.** iPhone Duo is the first iPhone to support more than one scene of an app. New windows cannot be created from the outer display, only the inner, so a request for one is handled as something that can fail, and `UIWindowSceneActivationAction` hides itself when it is not available. Scene accessories (content on another display) are enabled by default, can be toggled, and their availability changes at run time: observe it (`onAvailabilityChange`) and disable what depends on it. The camera capture accessory (`CameraCaptureAccessory`, registered with `sceneAccessory` on the camera's view) puts content on the outer display while the app is full screen on the inner display with an active camera session. *Basis: documented (Tech Talk 111464).*
+13. **A camera app follows the camera by the direction it faces.** When the device is opened, closed or rotated, the display and the camera in use may change and a camera may face the opposite way. Choose a camera by the direction it faces, not by its place, and handle the change. *Basis: documented (Preparing your app: Improve your app's camera handling; Choosing a camera by the direction it faces).*
+14. **Games fill the screen in every pose.** A game may lock to portrait or landscape (`UIRequiresFullScreen` is honored on iPhone in resizable environments from iOS 27) and still fills the screen as the pose changes; it keeps the text and control sizes as steady as it can, prefers changing the aspect ratio to letterboxing, and puts artwork in the padding where letterboxing cannot be avoided. *Basis: documented (HIG: Best practices; WWDC26 278).*
+15. **Test every pose, and the changes between them.** Use the iPhone Duo simulator in Device Hub (Xcode 27.1), whose controls open, close, rotate and fold the device; the resizable iOS simulator in Device Hub and iPhone Mirroring on macOS 27 for the extremes of size in both directions; and the App Resizability skill of Xcode 27.1 (its output is reviewed: Apple says it misses some issues). Then do what the pages do not: a UI test that changes the pose while the app is in a state (a selection, a scrolled list, a typed field, an unsaved edit, a sheet open, a page chosen) and requires that the state is the same after the change and back, that no control is lost, and that every control is still reachable; run in each pose and with the largest text size (`accessibility.md`). *Basis: documented for the tools (Preparing your app; Tech Talk 111461); design for the transition test.*
+16. **The newer APIs are reached through one layer that detects the SDK and the OS, and gives each a fallback.** A call site does not carry an `if #available`: it calls a forward (`view.forwards.glassEffect(...)`, `proxy.forwards.reservedRegions(kind:)`), which holds the availability check, the fallback and the mapping in one tested function, and is removed from a call site when the deployment target reaches the OS. Two checks are needed and are not the same: whether the **SDK** being built against has the symbols (`#if canImport(SwiftUICore, _version: ...)`, because a macOS SDK that lacks them fails to compile an `#available`-guarded call) and whether the **OS** being run on has them (`#available`). The threshold is kept honest by a script that, for each installed SDK, checks that the symbols are present exactly when the version is at least the threshold. A fallback is the closest honest behavior (an empty list of regions, the flat-display layout of an arrangement, a bordered button for a glass one), never a pretence of the new API. The shared implementation is `Forwards` (`codeberg.org/Mihaela/Forwards`): `ForwardsCore` (pure values and the arrangement layout), `ForwardsSwiftUI` (iOS and macOS), `ForwardsUIKit` (iOS); the cross-framework AppKit and UIKit layer (`ui/appuikit.md`) delegates to it and answers with nothing on AppKit. Mac Catalyst is not a target. *Basis: observed (the macOS 27.0 SDK without the symbols, the module versions of each SDK, the members marked unavailable on macOS; the fallbacks tested on macOS, on an iOS 27.0 simulator and on the iPhone Duo simulator of iOS 27.1); design for the layering.*
+17. **Do not rely on what Apple has not documented.** See the next section. An app that needs one of those behaviors observes it on the simulator and on a device, records it as observed with the OS build, and does not state it as a rule until Apple does. *Basis: design.*
+
+## What Apple has not documented
+
+On 2026-10-28, in the pages named above, read in full:
+
+- **The transition itself.** The pages say content "transitions between displays" and that the app is resized, and describe the system's own effects (the wallpaper reacts to the hinge angle and zooms as the device opens; sheets, alerts, menus and toolbar buttons move away from the fold; a picture-in-picture video pins to the top and the app resizes with it). They give no duration, no curve, no intermediate frames, and no way to take part in the animation other than the layout APIs.
+- **State across a fold.** No page says whether views, view controllers, scenes or `@State` survive, are recreated or are suspended when the device folds or unfolds, or what the person's state should be written to. The Human Interface Guidelines say to keep "the state of elements the same between displays"; they do not say how the system helps.
+- **Scene lifecycle on a fold.** The pages name scene geometry updates and the scene lifecycle requirement, but not what a fold does to a scene (a new scene, the same scene, a new screen for it), nor `windowScene.screen` changes.
+- **Detecting a pose change.** There is no named event for "the device was folded" other than a change of size class and trait, a change of scene geometry, a change of a reserved region, and the hinge API.
+- **Sizes.** No page gives the points, the pixels or the scale of either display, or the exact aspect ratio (only "both displays share the same aspect ratio"), or the safe-area values.
+- **State restoration**, **Split View on an iPhone versus an iPad**, and **the keys to opt in to multiple scenes** are not described.
+
+These are the questions the transition test of rule 15 exists to answer, for the app, on the build in hand.
+
+## What was observed on the simulator
+
+On 2026-10-28, on the iPhone Duo simulator (iOS 27.1, Xcode 27.1), with a real app (a YAML and JSON editor with an outline, a source view and an inspector), poses driven from Device Hub (closed, open, half-folded, closed again, open again). These are observations of that build, not Apple's documentation (rule 17):
+
+- **A vertical toolbar and a tab bar overlapped.** On the closed (outer) display, which is compact width, the system put a navigation toolbar down the side as a vertical bar; a `TabView` inside the same `NavigationStack` also drew its tab bar vertically; the two sat on the same coordinates, so the tab buttons were covered by the toolbar buttons. Setting `toolbarVerticalBehavior(.disabled)` on that screen (through the layer of rule 16) gave a horizontal tab bar at the bottom and a horizontal toolbar at the top with a More overflow. Found by dumping the accessibility tree, which gave the frames; a screenshot of a closed device does not show it.
+- **A fold rebuilt the navigation and lost the screen.** Folding open to closed made the app swap its columns for pages, and the pages (a `NavigationStack`) were made again with an empty path: the person landed on the list of files with the document still open in the model. The stack now starts on the document when one is open. State above the swap (the open document, the search text, the chosen node) survived every change of pose in the run; state held in the swapped views (the chosen tab) did not.
+- **Tools.** The pose can be set only from Device Hub, by clicking its pose buttons; `simctl`, XCUITest and AppleScript cannot. `simctl io screenshot` and the screenshot of a UI test are black unless the device is closed, in any other pose; a capture of the Device Hub window works in every pose. The first tap on a tab right after a pose change did not always switch the page; the test taps again and records how many taps it took.
+
+## How to test it
+
+- **Pure functions first.** The decision between arrangements (pages or columns, one pane or two) is a function of the size classes and the space, not of the device; test it over every combination of the two size classes and over widths from the narrowest to the widest, with equal results for equal inputs, and with no state in the function.
+- **The state across the change.** In the simulator, put the app in a state, change the pose with the Device Hub controls, and read the state back: the selected row, the scroll offset, the text of a field and its caret, an unsaved edit, the open sheet, the chosen tab. Do it closed to open and open to closed, open to partly folded and back, rotated and back, and into and out of Split View. Record which of them survive on the build in hand (rule 17).
+- **Every control, every pose.** Walk the accessibility tree in each pose and require that each control exists, is hittable, is not under the fold, and keeps its label (`accessibility.md`), and that the audit passes in each.
+- **The sources of wrong size.** The acceptance check below finds the screen, idiom, orientation and symmetric-inset habits mechanically.
+- **Availability.** Build for the oldest deployment target the app supports and require that the 27.1 APIs are behind `#available`.
+- **The text size.** Run each pose at the largest accessibility text size, where the arrangement changes (`accessibility.md`, rule 14).
+
+## Acceptance check
+
+Run from the repository root. `SOURCES` are the Swift sources of the app and its UI packages. Every command must print nothing, except where it says otherwise:
+
+```sh
+# 1. no main screen
+grep -rnE 'UIScreen\.main' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 2. no layout by idiom or by a device size
+grep -rnE 'userInterfaceIdiom|UIDevice\.current\.userInterfaceIdiom|bounds\.(width|height) *== *[0-9]' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 3. no layout by orientation
+grep -rnE 'UIDevice\.current\.orientation|statusBarOrientation|\.interfaceOrientation|isLandscape|isPortrait' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 4. no window made from the main screen
+grep -rnE 'UIWindow\(frame:' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 5. no symmetric inset arithmetic
+grep -rnE 'safeAreaInsets\.(left|right|leading|trailing) *\* *2' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 6. a regular width is not taken for an iPad
+grep -rnE 'horizontalSizeClass *== *\.regular.*(iPad|pad)|(iPad|pad).*horizontalSizeClass *== *\.regular' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 7. a hand-built bar is not a bar the system places
+grep -rnE '\bUIToolbar\(|\bUINavigationBar\(|\bUITabBar\(' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 8. the 27.1 APIs are used only in a file that gates them (this must print nothing)
+for f in $(grep -rlE 'ArrangementView|UIArrangementViewController|reservedRegions|onHingeChange|UIHingeInteraction' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'); do grep -q 'iOS 27\.1' "$f" || echo "$f: not gated"; done
+
+# 9. the scene lifecycle is adopted (this must print the delegate)
+grep -rnE 'UIWindowSceneDelegate|UISceneDelegate|WindowGroup|@main' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift' | head -3
+```
+
+Promote commands 1 to 8 to a build-failing script with a self-test (a fixture that breaks each must fail it; a fixture that obeys all must pass it), and the tests above to the project's test suite. The check passes when the commands print as stated, the tests pass in each pose, and the transition test has been run on the simulator and its result recorded as observed with the build. Until that run, say "built with the 27.1 SDK, laid out by size classes, not yet tested across a fold", never "supports iPhone Duo". Rule 17 stands: the section "What Apple has not documented" is the open frontier, and each item leaves it only when Apple documents it or the app has observed it.

 The rule for what each SPM target may `import`. Tiledown is a monorepo from day one with many targets in one package, and the engine (`TileKit`) and CLI (`tile-down`) are already two targets, so this contract applies now and governs every target added to the manifest.

+If you proceed past the stop rule, you have coupled two producers, which is exactly
+the coupling this rule exists to prevent. Every target keeps full autonomy and

+package at any time.
 
 ## The rules
 
-1. **External primitives are always allowed.** `Foundation`, `os`, `OSLog`, `Combine`, system frameworks, `ArgumentParser`, `Testing`, `XCTest`, and vetted third-party SPM products are ambient and never count as a violation.
-2. **A producer target may import its own protocol-seam companion.** That is the foundation-only protocol and value-type seam the producer publishes.
-3. **A producer target may import other protocol-seam targets.** They are foundation-only by construction; importing one carries no behavioural coupling.
-4. **A producer target may not import another producer (feature) target.** Cross-feature coupling goes through protocols defined in a seam package; the concrete is supplied at the composition root.
-5. **A producer target may not depend on a concrete writer.** Consumers hold the protocol type from the seam package; the binary supplies the live implementation.
-6. **Read-only foundation infrastructure can be imported widely** (embedded resources, read-only diagnostics). Treat it like Foundation.
-7. **Composition roots can import anything.** The CLI and any other app/binary wire the live concretes and pass them down.
-8. **No singletons reachable from producer code.** No `static let shared = X()`, no static config accessors. Pass the value as a parameter. The composition root constructs once and threads it down.
-9. **A "this singleton is sanctioned" argument is not a get-out.** Even where a singleton would be technically acceptable, the project rule is strict dependency injection.
+1. **Declared external primitives are allowed when they build on the target's
+   supported platforms.** Foundation, system frameworks, and vetted third-party
+   products still appear in the target's explicit dependency/platform contract;
+   test frameworks belong in test targets, not production producers.
+2. **A producer target may import `SharedProtocols`.** It is foundation-only by
+   construction and carries the named cross-target contracts and their supporting
+   value types.
+3. **A producer target may not import another producer (feature) target.** Cross-feature coupling goes through protocols defined in `SharedProtocols`; the concrete is supplied at the composition root.
+4. **A producer target may not depend on a concrete writer.** Consumers hold the protocol type from `SharedProtocols`; the binary supplies the live implementation.

 - A source-import audit: grep `^import` lines per target and fail if a consumer imports a forbidden producer.

 The protocol MAY be public (so the mock can implement it). The mock MUST live in the test target.
 
+#### Exception: test-support targets
+
+SwiftPM does not let one test target depend on another, so a double or a fixture that
+several test targets share cannot live in any one of them. A project MAY keep such
+shared code in a **test-support target** under `Packages/Sources/`. A test-support
+target conforms only when all four hold:
+
+1. **Declared.** It is listed, with the reason it exists, in a checked-in table
+   (`docs/test-support-targets.md`). A target that is not in the table is not a
+   test-support target, and the mocks rule above applies to it.
+2. **Not published.** No `.library` and no `.executable` product exposes it.
+3. **Not shipped, except by allowlist.** No target of a shipped product depends on it,
+   except the dependency edges the table names, each with a reason. The usual reason
+   is a demo or diagnostic executable that runs against an in-memory implementation.
+4. **Mechanically checked.** The project's gate reads the resolved package
+   (`swift package dump-package`) and fails on a published support target, on an edge
+   that is not in the allowlist, and on a support target missing from the table.
+
+A real implementation that happens to run in memory and that an app ships (an in-memory
+store behind a seam, chosen by the composition root) is not a test double. It is an
+adapter, it is subject to the import contract and not to this rule, and it is named for
+what it is and not `Mock` or `Fake`.
+
+Acceptance check, with `SUPPORT` set to the names in the table:
+
+```bash
+SUPPORT='["TestSupport","ConversationFixtures","CloudFake"]'
+swift package --package-path Packages dump-package | jq -r --argjson s "$SUPPORT" '
+  (.products[] | select(any(.targets[]; . as $t | $s | index($t) != null)) | "published: " + .name),

+```
+
+No line may begin with `published:`. Every `A -> B` line MUST appear in the table's
+allowlist with a reason, and the allowlist MUST NOT name an edge that the command does
+not print.
+
+WRONG: `Sources/FileClientMock/` exposed as a library product, so any consumer can link
+a mock into a release build.
+
+RIGHT: `Sources/TestSupport/` listed in the table, absent from `products:`, and
+depended on only by test targets and the one named diagnostic executable.

+# AppUIKit: imperative AppKit and UIKit code goes through the cross-framework layer
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every AppKit or UIKit renderer, feature, and app shell, in every app.** Imperative AppKit and UIKit code imports `AppUIKit` and names its `AppUI*` types. It never types an `NS` or `UI` UI type of its own and never imports `AppKit` or `UIKit` directly. When the layer lacks an alias or a helper the code needs, the component is added to the layer first, then used.
+
+AppUIKit is the sibling package that is the cross-framework namespace for imperative AppKit and UIKit code: one `AppUI*` alias for each type both frameworks have (`AppUIView`, `AppUIViewController`, `AppUITableView`, `AppUISplitViewController`, `AppUIToolbar`, `AppUIApplicationDelegate`, ...), a few semantic helpers (colors, fonts, the current graphics context, accessibility identifiers, SF Symbols), and a re-export of the platform framework and Core Graphics, so `import AppUIKit` alone reaches both. It is a naming layer, not a UI framework.
+
+## Why
+
+- **One name, one place.** A type reference reads the same on macOS and iOS, so shared logic (a status line, a persona control, a tool palette, a layer row) is written once, and the `#if canImport` noise stays inside the layer instead of at every call site.
+- **A missing piece is fixed once.** An alias or helper that one app lacks is added to the layer and every app gains it; the alternative is each app typing the platform name and drifting.
+- **It does not change what is native.** This rule governs how types are *named*, not what the UI looks like. `native-per-platform.md` still decides the shape of the interface per device: a menu bar and split columns on the Mac, one-handed bars on the iPhone. The renderer for each SDK is still its own, over the same framework-free model (`pre-ui-layer.md`). SwiftUI code does not use the layer.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Import.** An AppKit or UIKit renderer, feature, or shell target imports `AppUIKit`. A direct `import AppKit` or `import UIKit` is a violation (the layer re-exports them).
+2. **Names.** In those targets no `NS`-prefixed or `UI`-prefixed UI type is written. Use the alias: `AppUIView`, not `NSView` or `UIView`; `AppUIMenu`, not `NSMenu` or `UIMenu`; `AppUIApplicationDelegate`, not `NSApplicationDelegate` or `UIApplicationDelegate`. Use the layer's helper where one exists: `AppUIKit.currentCGContext()` for the drawing context, `AppUIImage.appUISymbol(_:description:)` for an SF Symbol, `setAXIdentifier(_:)` for an accessibility identifier.
+3. **Foundation names are not UI types.** `NSObject`, `NSString`, `NSNumber`, `NSError`, `NSLock`, `NSNotification`, `NSData`, `NSURL`, `NSDate`, and the like are Foundation and are fine. A project keeps this list short and checked in with its gate.
+4. **A missing component is added, not worked around.** If the layer has no alias or helper for what the code needs, add it to the layer (a one-line alias, with its test and changelog entry, on both frameworks where both have the type; on the one that has it where only one does), publish it, and then use it. Do not type the platform name "just this once", and do not write a private alias in the app.
+5. **Where the two frameworks genuinely differ, the code differs.** A split view controller, a toolbar, a table's data source, and event handling are not the same API in AppKit and UIKit; the alias names the type, the code around it is platform code in its own target. The layer does not paper over that and this rule does not ask it to.
+6. **Out of scope.** The strings of a property list or a project manifest (`UIApplicationSceneManifest`, `UISceneConfigurations`, and so on) are keys, not types, and stay as they are. The rule applies to Swift source of AppKit and UIKit targets, not to the layer itself, which is where the platform names live.
+
+## Acceptance check
+
+A gate, not a review. Run from the repository root, with `TARGETS` the directories of the AppKit and UIKit renderer, feature, and shell targets; both commands must print nothing:
+
+```sh
+# 1. no direct import of the platform framework
+grep -rnE '^[[:space:]]*(@preconcurrency[[:space:]]+)?import (AppKit|UIKit)$' $TARGETS --include='*.swift'
+
+# 2. no NS or UI type named (the tokens only; the framework name itself, Foundation names, and the module's own UIKit*/AppKit* names excepted)
+grep -rnoE '\b(NS|UI)[A-Z][A-Za-z0-9]*' $TARGETS --include='*.swift' \
+  | grep -vE ':(NSObject|NSObjectProtocol|NSString|NSNumber|NSError|NSLock|NSNotification|NSData|NSURL|NSDate|UIKit[A-Za-z0-9]*|AppKit[A-Za-z0-9]*)$'
+```
+
+A project promotes the second command to a build-failing script with a self-test (a fixture that names `UIView` after `import AppUIKit` must fail it; a fixture that names only `AppUIView` and `NSObject` must pass it), the same way `pre-ui-layer.md` requires the UI-import boundary to be mechanical.

 - A **step** is `{ verb, target, arg? }`. Its key is `"verb:target"`.
-- A **verb** comes from a small closed vocabulary (`open`, `tap`, `type`, `swipe`, `wait`, `assert`, `request`). The vocabulary is deliberately tiny so a scenario reads like a specification, not a script; adding a verb is a coordinated change across the schema, the enum, and every registry.
-- A **step registry** is the seam: one per UI, a `@MainActor` type with a single `execute(_ step: Step) throws` that turns a step into a real action against that UI. The registry throws on an unknown `verb:target`, so a scenario can never reference machinery that is not wired up. FlowSpec ships a default identifier-driven XCUITest registry in its `FlowSpecXCUI` module (see `pom.md` for the page-object pattern it drives); the headless registry that drives the model layer you write yourself. The core `FlowSpec` engine stays `Foundation`-only.
+- A **verb** comes from a small closed vocabulary (`open`, `tap`, `type`, `swipe`, `wait`, `assert`, `request`, `ambient`, `rotate`). `ambient` injects an automatic, no-user event (a timer, a notification, an agent's progress) at its true position in the ordered run; `rotate` turns the device to `portrait` or `landscape`. The vocabulary is deliberately tiny so a scenario reads like a specification, not a script; adding a verb is a coordinated change across the schema, the enum, and every registry.

The core `FlowSpec` engine stays `Foundation`-only.

+# Pane layout and adaptive columns
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every app that lays a document out in panes, columns or pages.** Learned on an iPad and an iPhone Duo with a real editor, and each rule below is a defect that was shipped and found by looking at the screen.
+
+## Why
+
+A split gives each pane a size; the content of a pane then asks for one too. When the two disagree the content wins, silently: the pane's content is wider than its pane, a divider is drawn over a search field, rows are cut. A window that counts as wide by a fixed number lays three columns out in a portrait iPad and leaves the document a hundred points. A model that changes under a view is not always seen by the view. None of this shows in a unit test of the model; it shows in a picture of the real window.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **The split sizes a pane; the content does not.** Lay the content of a pane over a view that takes whatever room it is offered (`Color.clear.overlay(alignment: .topLeading) { content }` then `.clipped()`), so that a part that needs more than the pane has is cut at the edge and cannot widen the pane. Do not rely on the content to be small.
+2. **Optional parts are decided by a measurement, not by a container that is meant to drop them.** A tip put in `ViewThatFits` with a `minWidth` was found to make a 240 point pane's content 296 points wide even when it showed nothing. Measure the pane (`onGeometryChange`) and put the optional part in only when the pane is wide enough for it.
+3. **A header fits the narrowest pane it will have.** Put the controls that are always there in one row and the ones that come and go in a second row that exists only when needed; give a field a short prompt. A UI test fails when any control is past the pane's edge (the divider beside the pane is the edge).
+4. **Columns are decided by the room the parts need, not by a fixed width.** The window is wide enough for the sidebar, the document and the inspector beside it when its width exceeds the sum of their widths and the document's least width. Put the sum in one pure function and test it with the real window widths of Apple's devices (a 13 inch iPad upright is 1032 points: a flat 1000 counted it as wide). Anything narrower gives the window to the document and puts the inspector in a popover.
+5. **A layout is saved for the way the device is held.** Key the saved layout by the arrangement and make the arrangement include the orientation; a comment that says two keys are separate is not a test, so test it.
+6. **A way to give the document the whole area.** A control in the toolbar that hides the outline and the panes beside it, and shows them again, is a toggle that looks pressed while they are shown; the pane's own maximize control and the toolbar control stay in step.
+7. **A view of a platform view is brought up to date by a change of its inputs, and keeps its controller.** SwiftUI's update of a representable was not called when a document was opened on an iPad, and a coordinator was made more than once for one view, so the update went to a controller whose view was not the one on screen. Read what the view shows where the parent makes it (so the parent's change makes a new value), and keep the controller in an object the view owns, so the view that is shown and the controller that is updated are the same.
+8. **Look at the screen, in both orientations and at the narrowest size, before saying it is done.** A picture of each arrangement is a deliverable of the change (`accessibility.md`, `iphone-duo.md`).
+
+## One set of panes on a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone (SuperSplit)
+
+Learned by running the same editor on all three with SuperSplit for the split. The panes are one set of views; what differs is the container, and the container is chosen by the room, not by the device.
+
+1. **One view per pane role, many containers.** Write each pane once, by role (`EditorPane(role: .outline)`), and let the container decide how roles are shown: all six side by side in a Mac window; the outline, the source and the diagnostics in a split on an iPad, with the inspector beside it or in a popover; a page of a `TabView` each on a phone, where SuperSplit is not used at all. A phone does not get a split of tiny panes: pages are the same views without the split. Never fork a pane per device.
+2. **The arrangement is a value, and it names the saved layout.** `desktop`, `tablet`, `upright` and `short` (little height) are cases of one enum; the container is made again (`.id(arrangement)`) when the arrangement changes, and each arrangement keeps its own saved layout, per device, per kind of document. A layout laid out for a wide window is not what suits a tall one, and a fold or a rotation must not apply one to the other. Test that the keys differ.
+3. **A pane's share and its least size are two different limits, and the least must win.** The outline is a share of the width (30 per cent on a tablet); on an iPad with a sidebar and an inspector that share came out below what the outline needs. Give the pane a least size, and have the layout clamp the share to it when the container shrinks (`setMinimumSize` and a ratio clamped at layout time), with an exhaustive test over container widths that the least holds. Whatever the share, the content must fit the least (rule 3 above).
+4. **The Mac hides the problem by being wide.** A pane that fits in a wide Mac window is squeezed on an iPad that shares its width with a sidebar and an inspector. Test every pane at its least width, on every platform, not at the size the app first opens at.
+5. **The divider is the edge of a pane, and the accessibility tree tells where it is.** A divider is a bar about 28 points wide centered on the boundary between two panes, drawn over both. Its frame in the accessibility tree is the line a UI test uses to assert that no control of a pane is past its edge (`Divider between Outline and 2 panes`); on the Mac it is a slider, on iOS adjustable. Read frames from the tree; a picture shows that something is wrong, the frames say what.
+6. **A pane's content is cut at the card, so what is cut is not seen.** The pane card clips its body: a control that does not fit is silently lost, which is the worst failure. Pair the clip with a test that fails on any control past the edge, and with a picture of each arrangement.
+7. **Maximize is the way to give one pane the whole area.** SuperSplit maximizes a pane over the layout; a toolbar toggle for "hide the outline" is maximize of the source, kept in step with the pane's own control, saved with the arrangement, and applied when the arrangement is made.
+8. **Platform views inside a pane need an owner that lives as long as the pane.** A pane's content is made by a closure inside the split, and SwiftUI made the coordinator of a text view more than once for one pane, so a change of the model went to a controller whose view was not on the screen. Keep the controller in an object the pane's view owns, and read the model where the pane builds the view.
+9. **Chrome as glass is a background.** The header strip and the round controls take the glass look as a background behind the title and the glyphs (through a layer that falls back, such as Forwards), so that what is drawn on them is drawn the same where a view is rendered off the screen and in pixel tests.
+10. **Test it at three levels, and keep them apart.** The pure layout (positions of panes and dividers for a list of container sizes, probed from the model), the real window (frames from the accessibility tree, in each orientation and at the largest text size), and a picture of each arrangement looked at by a person. The first would have found the squeezed outline, the second the header under the divider, and only the third the squeezed source pane.
+
+## How to find what widens a pane
+
+Switch the parts off one at a time at run time (an environment variable passed to the app through the test's launch environment, not the runner's) and measure the frame of the content, the pane and the divider from the accessibility tree: with the header and the list both off the content was still too wide, which named the tip. Never judge by what a view looks like; read the frames.
+
+## Acceptance check
+
+Run from the repository root; `SOURCES` are the Swift sources of the app and its UI packages. Both must print nothing:
+
+```sh
+# 1. no window counted as wide by a fixed width
+grep -rnE '(windowWidth|size\.width|width) *> *(9|1[0-9])[0-9]{2}\b' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift'
+
+# 2. no optional part left to ViewThatFits with a least width
+grep -rn -A4 'ViewThatFits' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift' | grep -E 'minWidth'
+```
+
+The change passes when those print nothing, the unit tests of the width rule and of the saved layouts for each arrangement pass, and the UI test that no control of a pane is past its edge passes in each orientation.

+# Versioning: one VERSION file, a semantic version, a build number that is the commit count
+
+**Status: MANDATORY for every app and service that ships a version number.** The version is written once, in a `VERSION` file, and is a Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 value. The build number is the number of commits on the first-parent chain of the release branch at build time. Both reach the code through a generated file, never through a constant that someone edits. The App Store fields take only what Apple documents for them, and everything richer stays in our own strings.
+
+Each rule below carries its basis: **documented** (Apple documentation or the Semantic Versioning specification, named so it can be read), **observed** (found by running the toolchain), or **design** (a choice, with the reason).
+
+## Why
+
+- **A version kept in several places drifts.** A hand-edited Swift constant, a project setting of `1.0`, and a store listing will disagree within a sprint. One file has nothing to disagree with.
+- **The store fields are narrow.** The short version takes three integers and the build takes one to three; neither takes a pre-release tag or a hash. A scheme that wants those keeps them in logs, bug reports, and headers, where they cost nothing.
+- **A build number that names a commit is a pointer.** A tester reports build 42; `git rev-list --first-parent --reverse main | sed -n 42p` returns the commit. A timestamp or a counter in a CI service cannot be walked back that way from a clone.
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **One source: the `VERSION` file at the repository root.** It holds one line, a version in the form `major.minor.patch` with an optional `-pre.release`. No other file states a version number by hand: no Swift constant, no project setting, no plist. *Basis: design.*
+2. **It is parsed by the grammar, not by habit.** A value that is not Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 (a leading `v`, a missing part, a leading zero, an empty identifier, a number too large for an `Int`) has no value, and the build stops with a message that names the file and the text. `VERSION` carries no build metadata; the build adds its own. *Basis: documented (semver.org, 2.0.0, sections 2, 9 and 10).*
+3. **The store's short version is the core and nothing else.** `CFBundleShortVersionString` is `major.minor.patch`: digits and periods, three integers. A pre-release or build metadata cannot go in it. *Basis: documented (Apple, `CFBundleShortVersionString`: "The required format is three period-separated integers ... can only contain numeric characters (0-9) and periods").*
+4. **The build number is the first-parent commit count of the release branch.** `git rev-list --first-parent --count HEAD`. On the release branch it grows by exactly one per commit and every value names one commit, which a plain `--count` does not guarantee once a merge brings in side commits. It never restarts when the version changes. *Basis: documented for the need (Apple, `CFBundleVersion` is "one to three period-separated integers"; and Xcode Cloud: "Mac apps must follow different build number requirements ... its build number must continuously increase, even across app versions"); design for the first-parent choice.*
+5. **It is generated at build time, by a build-tool plugin, into a file the code reads.** The generator reads `VERSION` and git and writes a Swift file of constants; the version type in the code returns them. The plugin's command names its inputs: `VERSION`, and the git files that move when `HEAD` does (`.git/HEAD` and its reflog, `.git/logs/HEAD`, which every commit, merge, reset and checkout appends to). Name only inputs that exist; SwiftPM treats a missing input as an error. *Basis: observed (SwiftPM 6.x, macOS): in a clone with the inputs named, one new commit changed the generated build number from 43 to 44 and the commit hash with it.*
+6. **No silent default.** A generator that cannot count commits stops. A shallow clone counts too few and is refused (`git rev-parse --is-shallow-repository`); a work tree with no repository is refused. A build that has no git history on purpose (a container image built from a copy of the sources) is given the facts in two named variables (`APP_BUILD_NUMBER`, a positive integer, and `APP_COMMIT`, a short hash), and a build with neither stops. Never fall back to `1`. *Basis: design. A shallow clone has fewer commits than the branch, so its count is smaller than the true one and can fall below a build already uploaded; a fallback to `1` is the same failure with a constant.*
+7. **CI clones the full history.** Every job that builds a version fetches all commits (`fetch-depth: 0` in GitHub Actions, `GIT_DEPTH: 0` in GitLab). *Basis: the generator refuses anything else (rule 6).*
+8. **The richer form is for our own strings.** `semanticVersion` is `major.minor.patch+build.commit` for a release and `major.minor.patch-pre.release.build+commit` for a pre-release, with `.dirty` appended to the metadata when tracked files had uncommitted changes. For a pre-release the count is a numeric identifier, which semantic versioning orders by value (`beta.9` before `beta.42`); metadata is ignored in precedence, so on a release it can name a build but not order it. It is used in logs, bug reports, and request headers, and nowhere a store field is. *Basis: documented (semver.org, section 11, precedence); design for where it is used.*
+9. **The release branch's history is append-only.** A rebase, a force-push, or a re-import of that branch can lower the count below a build already uploaded, and a Mac app cannot recover from a lower build number. Whatever syncs commits into the branch merges them. *Basis: documented (the Mac rule in rule 4); design for the consequence.*
+10. **A store build comes from the release branch, from a clean tree.** The release lane refuses any other branch and any uncommitted change to a tracked file, so the number leads back to one commit. *Basis: design.*
+11. **A second upload of the same commit needs its own build number.** A commit count numbers commits, not uploads; App Store Connect requires each version and build pair to be unique. The dotted form (`42`, then `42.1`) is available because Apple allows up to three integers, but how App Store Connect orders `42.1` against `42` is **not established** here and is tried with one real upload before it is relied on. *Basis: documented for the uniqueness (Xcode Cloud, "unique combination of CFBundleShortVersionString and CFBundleVersion"); the ordering is **not established**.*
+12. **The apps take the settings from the same place.** The release lane passes `MARKETING_VERSION` and `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION` to the build from one script that reads `VERSION` and git, so a project file's own `1.0` and `1` are never what ships. A plain run from the IDE shows the project file's values; that is a known limit, stated, not hidden. *Basis: design.*
+13. **Bumping is one command that edits one file.** It validates the text by the grammar of rule 2 before writing, and it writes nothing else. *Basis: design.*
+14. **In an Xcode app target the stamp is a post-build script phase.** Where the build is an Xcode project and not a package plugin, one script reads `VERSION` and the first-parent count (refusing a shallow clone, rule 6) and writes `CFBundleShortVersionString` and `CFBundleVersion` into the built product's `Info.plist`; user-script sandboxing is switched off for that target so the script can read git. The project's own `MARKETING_VERSION` stays a placeholder. The phase names the built `Info.plist` as an input file (`$(TARGET_BUILD_DIR)/$(INFOPLIST_PATH)`), so that the stamp runs after the system has written the plist: without it, a clean build wrote the plist after the stamp and the app reported no version. *Basis: observed (the stamped values read back from the built app's plist; on a clean build of an iPad app the stamp ran before `ProcessInfoPlistFile` and was lost, and after the input file was named it ran after it and was kept); design for the choice.*
+
+## How to test it
+
+- **The parser against the specification.** Accept the specification's own valid examples and read each back as written; refuse each of its invalid forms (leading zeros, empty identifiers, missing parts, a leading `v`, whitespace, a number past `Int`); check the precedence chain `1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-alpha.beta < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-beta.2 < 1.0.0-beta.11 < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0` in every pair; check that `1.9.0 < 1.10.0` (numbers, not text); check that metadata takes no part in precedence but is part of equality.
+- **The version type against the file.** A test reads `VERSION` and compares the core and the pre-release with the type's; it asks git for the first-parent count and requires the built number to be positive and no more than it.
+- **The rule that builds the richer form, apart from the generated numbers.** Take it as a function of its inputs and hold it to its closed form: the release shape, the pre-release shape, the ordering of two builds of one beta, a pre-release below its release, the dirty mark, and that the text parses back to an equal value.
+- **The generator's refusals.** Run the built tool against a shallow clone, a bad `VERSION`, a `VERSION` with metadata, a missing `VERSION`, a tree with no git and no variables, and a bad `APP_BUILD_NUMBER`; each must exit non-zero with a message that names the cause. Run it with both variables and no git; it must succeed.
+- **Regeneration.** In a throwaway clone, build, make an empty commit, build again, and require the generated number to rise by one. This is the test that the plugin's inputs are named.

+## Acceptance check
+
+Run from the repository root. `VERSION` is the file; `SOURCES` is the directory of package sources. Every command must print nothing, except where it says it must print a line:
+
+```sh
+# 1. VERSION is one line and is a semantic version without build metadata
+grep -Ex '(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)(-(0|[1-9][0-9]*|[0-9]*[A-Za-z-][0-9A-Za-z-]*)(\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*|[0-9]*[A-Za-z-][0-9A-Za-z-]*))*)?' VERSION | grep -c . | grep -vx 1
+
+# 2. no Swift source states a version number by hand (a constant named major, minor, patch, sprint or build with an integer literal)
+grep -rnE 'static (let|var) (major|minor|patch|sprint|build(Number)?)[^=]*=[[:space:]]*[0-9]+' "$SOURCES" --include='*.swift' | grep -v 'Generated'
+
+# 3. the generator never falls back to a made-up count
+grep -rnE 'return 1$' "$SOURCES"/*Generator* --include='*.swift'
+
+# 4. the plugin names its inputs (this one must print a line)
+grep -rn 'inputFiles' "$SOURCES"/../Plugins --include='*.swift'
+
+# 5. CI fetches the full history (each of these must print a line where the file exists)
+grep -n 'fetch-depth: 0' .github/workflows/*.yml 2>/dev/null
+grep -n 'GIT_DEPTH: 0' .gitlab-ci.yml 2>/dev/null
+
+# 6. the release build number equals the commit count of the commit built (prints the count; compare it to the build)
+git rev-list --first-parent --count HEAD
+```
+
+Promote commands 1 to 3 to a build-failing script with a self-test (a fixture that breaks each must fail it; a fixture that obeys all must pass it), and the tests above to the project's test suite. The check passes when the commands print as stated, the tests pass, and rule 11 is either tried with an upload or stated as not tried.
+
+Cross-references: `package-structure.md` (the plugin and its generator are their own targets), `dependency-injection.md` (the version type is read, never reached through a singleton), `testing.md` and `core/testing-discipline.md` (the tests and the regeneration check), `core/oracle-first.md` (the specification's examples are the answer key for the parser), `core/proof-discipline.md` (the basis of each claim), `core/git-discipline.md` (append-only history on the release branch).
