abkslmandClaude Opus 4.8 34aa01a724 iPad: adaptive sidebar+detail shell and Mac-style diff (remote Phases 1-2)
Grow the universal NucleicRemote app into a width-adaptive shell so a
regular-width iPad renders the macOS sidebar+detail IA while the iPhone
keeps its TabView -- both over the same RemoteStore projection (one host
authority, N renderers).

Phase 1 (adaptive shell):
- AdaptiveRootView branches on horizontalSizeClass: CompactRootView (the
  existing iPhone TabView, moved verbatim) vs SplitRootView
  (NavigationSplitView) on regular width.
- SplitSidebar: Home/Projects/To-dos/Settings destinations + sessions
  grouped under their projects (attention-sorted), connection chip footer.
- SplitDetail selects a destination or a session; a selected session reuses
  SessionDetailView keyed .id(sessionID) so switching drives open/close.
- RemoteStore.closeOpen(_:) is now id-guarded so a split-view A->B switch
  (onAppear(B) before onDisappear(A)) can't tear down B's fresh subscription.
- IdentityStore.deviceID idiom-tags the prefix (ipad-/iphone-) for new
  installs so the host lists a paired iPad correctly.

Phase 2 (width tuning + diff):
- readableColumn() caps+centers Home and the transcript on wide layouts;
  a no-op at phone/portrait width.
- SessionDiffView switches on available width (GeometryReader): a Mac-style
  two-pane diff (file list + selected file's patch) on wide/landscape, the
  phone stack otherwise. UnifiedPatch splits the combined patch per file.
  Read-only, same wire, no protocol change.
- Demo diff fixture now carries both files' patches.

iPhone layout and behavior unchanged. Builds clean; verified in the iPad
simulator (demo mode).

NucleicRemote (iPhone client)

The thin iOS remote client for Nucleic (PLAN milestone M4). It's a pure projection of the Mac host over LAN: monitor sessions, read transcripts/diffs, answer approvals, and send follow-up input — scope approve. No local git or CLI; the Mac is the single authority (see docs/UX_IOS.md and docs/SYNC_PROTOCOL.md).

Architecture

All wire/crypto logic is shared with the Mac via the NucleicProtocol SwiftPM library (this Xcode project links it as a local package at ../..):

  • Transport — NWFrameChannel (NWConnection) + LANDiscovery (Bonjour _nucleic._tcp).
  • Engine — NucleicProtocol.SyncClient runs the Noise handshake (XXpsk0 to pair, IK to reconnect), exchanges hello/welcome, and turns HostMsgs into a SyncClient.Event stream.
  • State — RemoteStore (ObservableObject) is the single on-device UI state, a pure projection of the host. Identity + pinned host live in IdentityStore (Keychain + UserDefaults).
  • UI — SwiftUI: SessionsView (attention-first list), SessionDetailView (transcript/diff + status-driven action area), ApprovalCardView (Face ID gate on high-risk), PairingScannerView (QR), SettingsView.

Build & run

# Resolves the local NucleicProtocol package automatically.
xcodebuild -project ios/NucleicRemote/NucleicRemote.xcodeproj \
  -scheme NucleicRemote \
  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17 Pro' build

Or open NucleicRemote.xcodeproj in Xcode and run. To pair, start the sync server on the Mac (Nucleic ▸ Settings ▸ Add iPhone shows the QR), then scan it. On a real device, both must be on the same Wi‑Fi.

Status

The full pair → list → subscribe → approve → reconnect path is implemented and the protocol/ server side is covered by tests in Tests/NucleicProtocolTests and Tests/NucleicCoreTests. Push notifications / Live Activity (UX_IOS §5.1/§5.3) are the M5 follow-up (needs the relay).
