xcodebuild succeeded, the .app is ad-hoc signed and installed on the iPhone 15 Pro / iOS 26.5 simulator, the app launched without crashing, the V0.26 Info.plist entries are present.
1. Created new simulator GamesRoom-Test-iPhone (UUID 625C621A-393D-4E60-81D0-26E90DCE5579) on iOS 26.5. Reason: every existing iPhone sim on the system was iOS 17.5, but GamesRoom's deployment target is iOS 26.0. The new sim matched. 2. xcodebuild with the xcrun simctl build + generic/platform=iOS Simulator destination. First attempt failed with two errors, both from codesign: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed. The .app directory had com.apple.FinderInfo and com.apple.fileprovider.fpfs#P extended attributes from a prior build. 3. Stripped detritus with xattr -cr on the .app, then re-built with CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO (skipping the broken CodeSign step). The clean build succeeded — the Swift code compiles and links clean. 4. Ad-hoc re-signed the .app with codesign --force --sign -. The signature is valid (Format=app bundle with Mach-O universal x86_64 arm64, Signature=adhoc). 5. Installed and launched on the new sim:
Important change to the standing arrangement, recorded 2026-07-27: Connor is not the engineering lead for Games Room. Both Nathan and Connor direct the vision; the implementation role is split between opencode loops and TARS, not a human engineer. Future migrations, builds, and simulator work will be run by TARS as part of the loop, not deferred to a human engineer.
iPhone 15 Pro device class supports Foundation Models per Apple's docs, but the sim check would require the app to actually invoke SystemLanguageModel.default.availability (which happens on the broadcast path, not the sign-in path). The fallback path is implemented and parse-clean per the opencode loop's exit report.
