Summary

Stacked on #307. Brings mobilewright-cli output in line with @playwright/cli and adds the next batch of commands.

  • Codegen after every action: each command prints ### Ran Mobilewright code with the exact test call, e.g. await screen.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' }).tap();. Refs now remember a locator (test ID → role+name → label → text → placeholder → type), and find/expect render their flags as chained locator code.
  • Playwright-style report: ### Ran Mobilewright code / ### Result / ### Device / ### Snapshot, with a fresh snapshot written to .mobilewright-cli/screen-<ts>.yml after every action instead of inlined.
  • Agent skill: skills/mobilewright-cli/SKILL.md shipped in the package, path printed at the top of --help; install copies it to .claude/skills/.
  • New commands: apps, app-install <path>, logs [--filter] [--limit], video-start [file] / video-stop, screenshot [ref] (clips to the element).
  • type is unchanged: types into the focused element with no tap/clear (fill does tap + clear + type).

logs and video-start spawn the mobilecli binary (no RPC for logs; recording must outlive the command process). Approved in conversation.

Test plan

  • npm run lint
  • 22 unit tests (codegen, report format, snapshot, find options, target, session)
  • Live on iOS 26 simulator: launch, find, tap, screenshot by ref, expect, apps, logs with filters, video-start → swipe → video-stop (MP4 written), install, error paths

Walkthrough

The CLI now returns structured action results with generated Mobilewright code, device and app metadata, snapshots, logs, screenshots, videos, and assertions. Locator generation and session references now preserve reusable element locators. Report utilities persist snapshots and videos. The CLI can install agent skills. Documentation, package contents, and tests cover these workflows and output formats.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5dcdb

Generated tests and reused sessions can fail, machine-readable output is inconsistent, and recording failures can leave incorrect state or a running process. These issues should be fixed before merge.

🟠 Major · Invalidate legacy refs when loading a session.

packages/cli/src/session.ts:46
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Invalidate legacy refs when loading a session.

Existing session files store refs as bounds objects. This change requires { bounds, locator }. loadSession() casts the old JSON without migration. A reused ref then reaches centerOfTarget() with bounds === undefined and crashes.

Drop legacy refs during loading, or add an explicit session-version migration. Add a test that loads a pre-change session file.

Wait for the recorder process to start before saving the session.

spawn() reports launch failures through its error event. Line 354 can save an undefined PID before that event occurs. The command can then leave stale recording state after an EACCES, EMFILE, or process-launch failure.

Wait for the spawn event. Reject on the error event. Save session.video only after child.pid is available.

Proposed fix
     const child = spawn(resolveMobilecliBinary(), ['screenrecord', '--device', session.deviceId!, '-o', output, '--silent'], {
       detached: true,
       stdio: ['ignore', openSync(join(dirname(output), '.screenrecord.log'), 'a'), openSync(join(dirname(output), '.screenrecord.log'), 'a')],
     });

Keep the recording state when the stop timeout expires.

If the recorder remains alive after 10 seconds, Line 384 discards its PID. If the output file already exists, the command then reports success while the process continues to write to the file.

Check isRunning(pid) after the loop. If it is still true, retain session.video and report a timeout.

Proposed fix
     while (isRunning(pid) && Date.now() < deadline) {
       spawnSync('sleep', ['0.2']);
     }

Keep the --json contract consistent across commands.

install emits { ok, lines }, and video-stop emits { ok, video } instead of the documented common object. logs bypasses emit() and inherits JSON-lines output from the child process. The documentation explicitly allows the devices array, but it does not define install, video-stop, or logs as --json exceptions. The command descriptions alone do not override the global contract.

Route these commands through the common schema, or document their exact --json shapes in both documentation files. Preserve and document devices as the array exception.

Escape line terminators in generated string literals.

q() leaves \n and \r unchanged. If a label, text value, or placeholder contains a line break, the CLI emits an invalid single-quoted JavaScript string. Serialize string values with a literal generator that escapes control characters.
