MobileBuildMCP Runtime Boundary Review

Review guardrails for runtime routing and invocation boundaries.

Review scope

• Review-only by default.
• Do not edit product code unless the user explicitly requests implementation changes.

Files to inspect

• src/runtime/tool-catalog.ts
• src/runtime/tool-invoker.ts
• src/runtime/types.ts
• src/cli/**
• src/daemon/**
• manifests/tools/*.yaml
• manifests/workflows/*.yaml
• xcodebuildmcp.com/app/docs/_content/architecture-runtime-boundaries.mdx
• xcodebuildmcp.com/app/docs/_content/architecture-manifest-visibility.mdx

Guardrails

• MCP, CLI, and daemon paths use shared handlers.
• Stateful CLI tools route through daemon only when routing.stateful requires it.
• Do not treat daemon as a third manifest availability mode.
• Dynamic Xcode IDE tools keep daemon routing semantics.
• Catalog filtering respects availability, workflow selection, and predicates.
• Runtime failures surface via runtime/rendering status and fragments.
• Avoid silent fallbacks and parallel invocation paths.

Validation

• npm test -- src/runtime/__tests__/tool-invoker.test.ts
• npm run typecheck
• npx skill-check .agents/skills/mobilebuildmcp-runtime-boundary-review
