File contents

Native apps

Four apps, one DiffuseUI. Platform code only for platform mechanisms (menu bar extra, widgets, complications, BGAppRefresh, Watch refresh).

No per-capability screens. Lists, inspectors, and search are generic on schema.
iPad regular width always shows three columns (IPadRootView.threeColumnWorkspace).
Mac Snapshots inspector auto-selects the latest snapshot.
Preferences (DiffusePreferences) already cover retention, redaction, schedule, search.
Unsigned CI builds: never add a development team to project.yml.

Build and run without opening Xcode or looking up a simulator UDID:

make ios-run      # DiffuseiOS on an iPhone simulator
make ipados-run   # DiffuseiPadOS on an iPad simulator
make watch-run    # DiffuseWatch on a watch simulator
make mac-run      # DiffuseMac on this machine
make apple-devices

Each resolves and boots the right device family. Pin one with DIFFUSE_SIMULATOR_ID. Use these rather than calling xcrun or xcodebuild bare; Scripts/apple.sh handles project generation, device resolution, install, and launch.

Read Documentation/adr/0006-four-native-apps.md and Apps/AGENTS.md.
