feat: batch-first agents, Jev on the phone, and a quieter setup - #133

…ction streaks
Hardware census: a tap costs ~0.47 s on the phone, but every agent call
costs a full model turn. So the lever is fewer round trips, not faster taps
(packing taps into one WDA /actions call scrambles their order on iOS 27;
measured and dropped).
- POST /agent/actions {observe:true}: after a passing batch, settle and
return snapshot/elements/settle/alert in the same reply.
- phone_run_steps observes by default.
- Three single /agent/input actions in a row get a one-shot batch_hint;
a batch or a minute's pause resets it.
- SKILL.md step 3 and the MCP instructions now say batch first.
… jev run / phone_jev_run) TypeSafe's Jev picks each step's operation and target from an indexed table of the visible controls (/agent/elements); a small OpenAI-compatible model writes text only for TYPE_TEXT, entered with set_value so a Chinese keyboard cannot swallow it. Operations: CLICK, TYPE_TEXT, SCROLL_DOWN/UP, BACK, PRESS_RETURN (keyboard up), WAIT, DONE, BLOCKED. Every step is an ordinary daemon action with the owner lease, so the trail and phone_flow_draft work on Jev runs too. Policy adapted from browser-use/jev-ultrafast (MIT) via chrome-use's jev run. MCP tools 22 -> 23.
…, settle, field fallbacks On iOS 27 Settings: Jev answered BLOCKED on a sub-page (it only knew the app, not the page, and '设置' read like a destination), pressed BACK twelve times on a top-level page, tapped a search field seventeen times as its keyboard came and went, hit stale snapshots reading mid-animation, and set_value could not find the search field once focused; one hung text-model call cost 25 s. Now: the navigation bar title and 'Back to «…»' are in the table, an action that changed nothing (or repeats 3 of the last 4 steps) is not offered again, reads wait 300 ms, set_value falls back to typing into the focused field (and re-finds a field by name on a stale snapshot), and the text model times out at 8 s.
…ich changed A daemon restart drops every in-flight request, hold and owner lease. Setup restarted it whenever any managed key differed, including WDA_ALLOW_LAN, which the daemon never reads (setup takes it from the plist). The plist is still updated; the restart now needs a key the daemon reads at startup, and the log names the keys that changed.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds Jev as an MCP tool and CLI command, adds optional observations for batched actions and hints after repeated single actions, updates agent guidance and tool-count checks, and changes which daemon configuration updates trigger a restart.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new Jev agent and observed batches work, but three small issues remain. A failed text-entry fallback loses the step report. An observed batch can respond after the batch time limit. A batch hint can appear after a failed batch.

Keep the run report when a TYPE_TEXT fallback fails. In two places, the TYPE_TEXT fallback uses ? inside the step. A failure there returns Err from run and discards history. The phone may already have been changed by earlier steps. Record the error in the step's result, as the loop does for other step failures.

Keep observation within the batch deadline.
If the steps finish near the 75-second batch_deadline, this call can spend another 15 seconds settling the screen. The alert probe can add more time. Limit the settle budget to the time left before batch_deadline, and skip the alert probe when that deadline has passed. Otherwise, an observed batch can respond well after the endpoint’s batch limit.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reset the single-action streak when a valid batch starts.
agent_actions calls flow_after_actions only after every step succeeds. A failed batch therefore leaves the previous single-action streak intact. A successful X-Phone-Flow-Run batch also skips this call. After either batch, the next single action can receive a batch_hint for a streak that the batch should have ended. Move note_batch() to the validated batch entry path; keep flow-step recording conditional on success.

Why: a tap takes about 0.47 s on the phone, but every agent call costs a full model turn. The lever is fewer round trips, not faster taps. Packing several taps into one WDA `/actions` call scrambles their order on iOS 27; I measured it and dropped the idea.
Batch first
Jev on the phone: `iphone-use-mcp jev run --goal … [--app]` and MCP `phone_jev_run` (tools 22 → 23).
Setup: the daemon now restarts only for settings it reads, and the log names which keys changed.
Hardware validation (iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 27, USB):
Tests: `cargo test -p server` and `-p iphone-use-mcp` pass (109 MCP tests). There are new integration tests (observed batch) and unit tests (batch hint, jev table, guards, answer parsing).
