Design system: Palette (teal accent + the Mac's categorical status colors, status→color refined by turn disposition), StatusStyle glyphs/labels, a card surface modifier, app-wide teal tint. Fixes the reported bug: Sessions now hides archived chats and uses disposition to split NEEDS YOU from DONE (a finished-the-work turn no longer shows as needing you). Rows gain status dots, favorite star, approval-count badge, diffstat; swipe to favorite/archive/delete. New surfaces, full control-scope parity with the Mac: - Home: greeting + day-streak flame, GitHub-style activity grid, stat cards, quick to-dos, and a start-chat composer (project picker + Auto). - Projects: per-project session counts → project detail with a scoped composer. - To-dos: capture, group by project, complete/dispatch/delete. - Session detail: a control menu (rename, favorite, interrupt, integrate merge/squash/rebase, archive, delete). RemoteStore handles the dashboard event + exposes all control intents; claims control scope. A NUCLEIC_DEMO/NUCLEIC_TAB env seam seeds mock state for offline UI preview. iOS app builds for the iOS 27 simulator; Home + Sessions verified rendering via screenshots.

NucleicRemote (iPhone client)
The thin iOS remote client for Nucleic (PLAN milestone M4). It's a pure projection of the
Mac host over LAN: monitor sessions, read transcripts/diffs, answer approvals, and send
follow-up input — scope approve. No local git or CLI; the Mac is the single authority
(see docs/UX_IOS.md and docs/SYNC_PROTOCOL.md).
Architecture
All wire/crypto logic is shared with the Mac via the NucleicProtocol SwiftPM library
(this Xcode project links it as a local package at ../..):
- Transport —
NWFrameChannel(NWConnection) +LANDiscovery(Bonjour_nucleic._tcp). - Engine —
NucleicProtocol.SyncClientruns the Noise handshake (XXpsk0 to pair, IK to reconnect), exchanges hello/welcome, and turnsHostMsgs into aSyncClient.Eventstream. - State —
RemoteStore(ObservableObject) is the single on-device UI state, a pure projection of the host. Identity + pinned host live inIdentityStore(Keychain + UserDefaults). - UI — SwiftUI:
SessionsView(attention-first list),SessionDetailView(transcript/diff + status-driven action area),ApprovalCardView(Face ID gate on high-risk),PairingScannerView(QR),SettingsView.
Build & run
# Resolves the local NucleicProtocol package automatically.
xcodebuild -project ios/NucleicRemote/NucleicRemote.xcodeproj \
-scheme NucleicRemote \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17 Pro' build
Or open NucleicRemote.xcodeproj in Xcode and run. To pair, start the sync server on the Mac
(Nucleic ▸ Settings ▸ Add iPhone shows the QR), then scan it. On a real device, both must be
on the same Wi‑Fi.
Status
The full pair → list → subscribe → approve → reconnect path is implemented and the protocol/
server side is covered by tests in Tests/NucleicProtocolTests and Tests/NucleicCoreTests.
Push notifications / Live Activity (UX_IOS §5.1/§5.3) are the M5 follow-up (needs the relay).
