Build and exercise an iOS app on a simulator, preserving screenshots, logs, human-verification results, and failures as evidence for the user.
Done:
PASS, FAIL, or PARTIAL plus project, scheme, simulator, build result, per-surface PASS / FAIL / SKIP, console errors, human checks, and residual failures.PASS requires completed passing evidence. FAIL records observed failing evidence until a completed retest replaces it. SKIP means the check has no completed outcome.FAIL while any failure remains, PARTIAL when no failure remains but a scoped check is skipped, and otherwise PASS.Boundaries: this skill tests and reports. Diagnosis and any user-approved product fix belong to ce-debug, invoked with its authority narrowed so it returns here without committing, pushing, or opening a PR. Keep simulator interaction within the app and flows the user placed in scope.
