yaver-mobile-headless

yaver-mobile-headless

A headless surrogate for the Yaver mobile app. Shares the exact code from mobile/src/lib/* (auth, QUIC client, beacon, wizard, guests, phone-projects, dev-server, install catalogue) via TS path aliases into thin shims for the few native modules the lib actually touches.

Three surfaces, one facade:

• Programmatic — import { MobileClient } from "yaver-mobile-headless" in a jest/bun test.
• CLI — yaver-mobile-headless <command>. Every screen action has a verb, JSON on stdout.
• MCP — yaver-mobile-headless mcp exposes mobile_tap_* and mobile_api_* tools over stdio.

For the full design, see MOBILE_HEADLESS.md at the repo root.

Quick start

cd mobile-headless
bun install
bun test test/hermetic.test.ts      # no external services needed

# drive a real agent
bun run src/bin/cli.ts sign-in --token=...
bun run src/bin/cli.ts devices
bun run src/bin/cli.ts install-list
bun run src/bin/cli.ts install ollama

# create a phone-backed todo app locally, then push its backend to a remote Yaver/Hetzner box
bun run src/bin/cli.ts phone-project-create --name="Todo App" --template=todos --prompt="Ship a mobile todo app backend"
bun run src/bin/cli.ts phone-project-push --slug=todo-app --base-url=https://your-box.example.com --target-token=$CLOUD_OWNER_TOKEN --include-data --containerize

# same flow as one command
bun run src/bin/cli.ts todo-cloud-bootstrap --name="Todo App" --base-url=https://your-box.example.com --target-token=$CLOUD_OWNER_TOKEN --prompt="Deploy the backend to my paid cloud box"

# emit a Hermes preview manifest with git + CI metadata for reopening inside Yaver
bun run src/bin/cli.ts preview-manifest-create \
  --name="Todo Preview" \
  --bundle-url=https://your-box.example.com/dev/index.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true \
  --repo-url=https://github.com/you/todo-app \
  --branch=main \
  --commit=abc1234 \
  --workflow=yaver-hermes \
  --run-id=123456789 \
  --compile-time-injected \
  --guest-visible \
  --out .yaver/preview-manifest.json

Env knobs

Var	Meaning
YMH_DATA_DIR	Where async-storage + secure-store are persisted. Set per-test for isolation.
YMH_PLATFORM	"ios" or "android" — Platform.OS in the lib reads this.
YMH_DEVICE_NAME	Device name surfaced to the agent.
YMH_CONVEX_URL	Override Convex site URL (defaults to prod).
YMH_AUTH_TOKEN	Pre-seed the auth token so MCP/CLI don't need sign-in first.

Shim coverage

Resolved via tsconfig.json paths:

• react-native → Platform / Alert / AppState / NativeModules stubs
• react-native-udp → wraps Node dgram (beacon actually works)
• @react-native-async-storage/async-storage → JSON file under $YMH_DATA_DIR
• expo-secure-store → chmod-600 JSON file under $YMH_DATA_DIR
• expo-device, expo-constants, expo-application → env-overridable constants
• expo-apple-authentication, expo-auth-session, expo-web-browser → stubs (headless uses direct-token sign-in)
• expo-crypto → node:crypto

If a new lib file imports a module not listed above, add a matching shim to src/shims/ and wire it in tsconfig.json. Never fork the mobile source.

CI

.github/workflows/mobile-headless.yml runs two jobs on every PR that touches mobile-headless/, mobile/src/lib/, or desktop/agent/:

• hermetic — typecheck + bun test test/hermetic.test.ts against the in-process mock agent.
• smoke-local — builds the Go agent, runs it in background, drives a handful of CLI commands against it.

Both on free GitHub-hosted ubuntu-latest runners.
