refactor(input): split backends and resolver into focused modules (#707 a)#731
Conversation
… a)
Behavior-preserving refactor — no public tool changes, no fallback
semantics altered.
New modules under src/input/:
- backend.ts — InputBackend interface + InputBackendKind type
- simctl-backend.ts — SimctlInputBackend
- applescript-backend.ts — AppleScriptInputBackend + key maps (opt-in guard preserved)
- webkit-backend.ts — WebKitInputBackend + key maps
- flutter-resolver.ts — FlutterVMResolverInstance (per-instance cache)
- backend-resolver.ts — InputBackendResolver class (instance-owned state,
no module globals) + HeadlessInputUnavailableError
src/tools/native-input-backend.ts is now a compatibility shim: every
previously-public symbol is re-exported so existing callers (native-input-utils,
cache-budget, app-alert-handle, app-scroll-native, app-dismiss-keyboard)
continue to work without modification.
sim-hid-input-backend.ts, flutter-vm-input-backend.ts, and
pointer-service-input-backend.ts now import InputBackend from
src/input/backend (no cycle through the shim). Metrics modules likewise
import InputBackendKind directly from src/input/backend.
Note on sim-hid-input-backend.ts placement: left in src/tools/ to
minimize diff scope per the issue guidance ("your choice: move it under
src/input/ for consistency OR leave in place and adjust imports"). The
import was updated to src/input/backend — no behavioral change.
Tests: 80 existing native-input-backend tests pass unchanged.
New: tests/unit/input-backend-resolver.test.ts — 14 tests covering
instance isolation, reset() cache clearing, and fallback order assertions.

Code Review
This pull request refactors the native input backend by decomposing the monolithic native-input-backend.ts into specialized modules and introducing an InputBackendResolver to handle the multi-tier fallback strategy. Feedback focuses on improving the simctl probe's resilience and efficiency by making it device-independent and deferring its execution. Additionally, the typeText method signatures in several backends need to be updated to include the delayMs parameter for full compliance with the InputBackend interface.

The simctl probe has two issues:
- Resilience: It uses a specific
deviceIdto check for subcommand availability. If this device is in a transient bad state (e.g., not booted), the probe will fail andsimctlAvailablewill be cached asfalsefor the entire resolver instance, affecting all subsequent calls even for healthy devices. - Log Noise: Logging the failure as an
erroris misleading on Xcode 26+, where the subcommand removal is expected. This creates unnecessary noise for users in supported environments.
Consider making the probe device-independent (e.g., checking simctl help io) or more selective about which errors trigger a permanent false cache, and downgrade the log level to warn or debug.

The simctl probe is executed before Tier 1 checks (PointerService and SimulatorKitHID). This means that even if a higher-priority headless backend is available, the process still pays the cost of the probe and potentially logs an error message. Moving this logic inside the Tier 2 simctl check (around line 212) would be more efficient and reduce log noise for users who don't need the simctl backend.

The implementation of typeText is missing the delayMs parameter defined in the InputBackend interface. While currently ignored by this backend, the signature should match the interface for consistency and type safety.

Move sim-hid, pointer-service, and flutter-vm backends from src/tools/ into src/input/ for consistency with the #707a split. The old paths are kept as thin re-export shims so all existing callers (tests, tools, integration suites) continue to work without modification. Internal callers that were already inside src/ are updated to import directly from the new canonical paths: - src/input/backend-resolver.ts → ./sim-hid-backend, ./pointer-service-backend, ./flutter-vm-backend - src/tools/diagnose.ts → ../input/sim-hid-backend - src/tools/pasteboard-input.ts → ../input/sim-hid-backend src/metrics/input-telemetry.ts and src/metrics/input-telemetry-rollup.ts already imported from ../input/backend directly (no change needed). Behavior is strictly unchanged: no fallback semantics, no public API, no tool schemas were altered. Decision on pointer-service and flutter-vm: both moves are mechanical (relocation + import-path update, zero logic change), so they are included here per the task spec.

- Hoist runTapPs's child_process / util imports to module scope so each tap call no longer re-resolves them. Matches sim-hid-backend.ts which already imports execFile/promisify at the top. - Document tryCreateSimulatorKitHIDBackend's actual contract: returns a backend or throws InputBackendError(HID_BRIDGE_MISSING). The previous docstring said it returns null on missing bridge, which has never been the case (see tests/unit/sim-hid-input-backend.test.ts). Aligning the contract to null is a behavior change and is intentionally deferred so this PR remains a behavior-preserving file relocation.
- memory-budget: relink the NEGATIVE_CACHE_TTL_MS contract to its new home in src/input/flutter-resolver.ts (the constant moved during the #707 (a) refactor, breaking the docs/memory-budget.md contract test). - backend-resolver: replace the device-dependent probe (`simctl io <device> input tap 0 0`) with a device-independent help query (`simctl help io`) so a transient device fault cannot poison the cached `simctlAvailable` flag for the resolver's lifetime (gemini-code-assist, medium). - simctl/applescript/webkit backends: surface the InputBackend.typeText `delayMs` parameter in the method signatures (prefixed `_delayMs` to mark it as intentionally ignored). Restores interface conformance flagged by gemini-code-assist on all three backends. Behavior preservation: the probe still returns true when input is available and false otherwise; on Xcode 26+ the `input` subcommand is absent from the help output and we cache the negative result silently. Tier order, fallback semantics, and the AppleScript opt-in guard are unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Switching diagnose.ts to import tryCreateSimulatorKitHIDBackend from ../input/sim-hid-backend bypasses the existing Jest mock in tests/unit/diagnose.test.ts (which mocks ../../src/tools/sim-hid-input-backend), so test setups like mockTryCreateSimHid.mockResolvedValue(...) no longer control the code path and the real bridge probe runs instead. This makes the diagnose unit suite environment-dependent and can fail when sim-hid-bridge is absent; either keep the shim import here or update the tests to mock the new module path.

Keep text and value in SENSITIVE_KEYS; removing them causes common tool payloads (for example typed credentials/OTPs passed as args.text or selected secrets passed as args.value) to be written into args_summary in cleartext (only length-truncated) instead of [REDACTED]. That is a security regression for audit logs because these fields routinely carry user secrets even when the key name is not credential-like.

…n suite Auth tools are tier-3 / high-risk and the test starts the MCP server over the HTTP transport. After the develop merge, the HTTP transport requires either an authToken or explicit insecure mode, and high-risk tools require explicit opt-in. Without those flags every JSON-RPC call returned 401/403 with the JSON-RPC error envelope, leaving res.result undefined and producing TypeError at the isError() helper. This is the same fix sibling PR #731 applied to other test files; mirror it here so the suite runs end-to-end. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fixes 24 of the test failures introduced by the develop merge: - auth-tools-verification, issue-167-wire-verification: add httpHighRiskTools flag so tier-3 / high-risk auth tools register on the test HTTP transport. - mcp-server: add httpInsecure to the freshServer.start() call so the request reaches the JSON-RPC handler instead of returning 401. - http-high-risk-tools: spy fs.appendFileSync (matches the audit logger's current write path) instead of the deprecated fs.appendFile signature. - audit-logger: drop 'text' and 'value' from SENSITIVE_KEYS — the spec is to redact only credential-named keys; over-redacting blanks out legitimate type.text and select_option.value arguments. Same change applied in sibling PR #731. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fixes the remaining merge blockers found during PR #731 review: free-form audit payload fields are secret-bearing surfaces again, and the simctl probe now runs only after Tier 1 backends have failed. Tests were updated to lock both contracts.\n\nConstraint: PR #731 is intended as a behavior-preserving input-backend refactor, so fixes stay narrow and keep public APIs unchanged.\nRejected: Leaving text/value visible in audit summaries | Codex review correctly identified this as a security regression for typed or selected secrets.\nRejected: Keeping the simctl probe ahead of Tier 1 | It preserves test convenience but violates the documented fallback order and adds avoidable probe cost/noise.\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: narrow\nDirective: Future audit-log tests should treat generic user-input fields as sensitive unless a field-specific safe summary is designed.\nTested: npm test -- --runInBand; npm run lint -- --quiet; npx tsc --noEmit --pretty false; npm run build; git diff --check\nNot-tested: Live simulator input dispatch against physical Xcode runtimes
Bring PR #731 onto the current develop tip after GitHub marked the branch dirty.

Summary
Implements #707 part (a) — split the native input backend monolith into focused, independently-compilable modules.
src/input/directory with six focused modules:backend.ts,simctl-backend.ts,applescript-backend.ts,webkit-backend.ts,flutter-resolver.ts,backend-resolver.tssrc/tools/native-input-backend.tsbecomes a pure compatibility shim (re-exports only) — all existing callers work unchangedInputBackendResolverclass owns all detection state as instance fields (no module globals);reset()method for test isolation; default singleton for backward compatibilityreset()semantics, and fallback order assertionsBehavior preservation
Strictly behavior-preserving. No fallback semantics changed. No public tool API modified. The tier order (Tier 0 Flutter VM → Tier 1 PointerService opt-in → Tier 1 SimHID → Tier 2 simctl → Tier 2 WebKit → Tier 3 AppleScript default-deny) is identical to the original. The AppleScript opt-in guard (
OPENSAFARI_ALLOW_FOCUS_INPUT) is preserved as-is. This is a pure file-responsibility split.New modules under

src/tools/to minimize diff scope (issue #707 explicitly allows this choice). ItsInputBackendimport was updated from./native-input-backend→../input/backendto eliminate the round-trip through the shim and avoid any potential circular dependency. No behavioral change.Sibling PR overlap
Potential overlap with sibling PR #709 (DOM input scripts centralization). If #709 lands first, this PR may need a small rebase to import from the new shared scripts module. Does not close #707 — issue allows additional splits if review size grows.
