Closes #1061

Status

Implement: done Review: passed (round 1, round 2, 2 fix-checks) Hardware: n/a Gate: waiting for the stack
Next: stack with #1058, then gate on the top PR

Done when

  • pnpm test:unit passes with the three test lines above — src/cli/index.test.ts setup tests.
  • simlock setup --json on this machine prints a machine object and exits 0 — e2e/setup.test.ts in CI's e2e lane.
  • The simlock setup section of cli.mdx shows the machine line and field, and no longer says the command never contacts a daemon — docs commit 0353a65.

Assumptions

  • Assumption: --gateway setup skips the machine check instead of launching a gateway — closest to today's behaviour, where setup never connects in gateway mode, and doctor.run is refused by a gateway anyway.
  • Assumption: host platform for the iOS entry — added an optional hostPlatform to CliEnvironment (set from process.platform), the smallest way to know macOS in the CLI.

Review

Spec review: 0 blocking, 0 fixed, 0 notes. Code review: 2 blocking, 2 fixed, 0 notes. Claims review: 3 blocking, 1 fixed, 1 notes.
Rounds: 2. Tokens: 3.3M.
Runs: 16. Cost USD: 3.7578. Agent seconds: 1826.
Assessment: complete

Round 2 ran no lens (coordinator-only, incomplete); the orchestrator ran one extra targeted fix-check, on the record, so the fixes of the first fix-check got a lens.

Rejected:

  • claims: src/cli/AGENTS.md:59 lists setup among exempt commands — [nonblocking] the sentence is about GATEWAY_NOT_PRESENT commands; updated with R1 anyway.

Written by an agent.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Setup now includes iOS and Android machine-check results in its text and JSON reports. Missing prerequisites are reported without causing setup to fail.
    • When checks can’t run, setup reports that they weren’t checked. Checks are skipped when setup is routed to a gateway.
  • Documentation
    • Updated CLI reference to describe setup’s machine checks and JSON report.

Walkthrough

Setup now runs doctor checks after skill installation when it can connect to the daemon. It reports platform status and doctor findings in text and JSON output. Gateway routing and unavailable checks produce a “not checked” status.

Changes: Setup machine check

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform context and doctor findings
src/cli/types.ts, src/cli/environment.ts, src/cli/index.ts, src/cli/commands/doctor.ts
The CLI environment now carries the host platform. Doctor exposes a helper that writes its findings.
Setup check and report
src/cli/commands/setup.ts, src/cli/AGENTS.md, src/cli/index.test.ts, e2e/setup.test.ts, website/src/content/docs/docs/reference/cli.mdx
Setup runs the machine check when applicable and includes the summary and findings in its reports. Tests and documentation cover the resulting output, including gateway and unavailable-check cases.

Possibly related issues

  • Issue 1060 defines the broader onboarding goal; this change implements its machine-check component.
  • Issue 1058 asks onboarding documentation to rely on simlock setup for the machine check; this change adds the check and updates the CLI reference, but not the onboarding pages.
  • Issue 1057 identifies the missing machine check as part of the onboarding problem; this change adds that check to setup.

Possibly related PRs

Merge Risk: Low · up to 5f0e6

Setup can create daemon data outside the skill directory, and its integration test could miss a skipped machine check. These are bounded follow-ups.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 5f0e6

Setup can now start the worker daemon and activate its configured behavior. The machine check does not request repairs or destructive cleanup, skips gateway mode, and reports failures as “not checked.” No introduced security vulnerability was established, but deployment-specific environment and network exposure remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The change extends setup beyond skill installation into the invoking user's worker-daemon lifecycle, configured driver execution, diagnostics, and configured network behavior. Its effective exposure depends on the selected daemon home and inherited configuration; it is not bounded solely by the skill directory.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — No introduced privilege-escalation or destructive-operation path was established for the checked invocation. Setup supplies no project path or user-controlled doctor options: its literal empty request leaves repair and orphan-purge branches disabled. This conclusion does not establish the safety of arbitrary substituted drivers or deployed network configuration.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The diagnostic operation retains its input-dependent authority boundary: empty input requires agent/read authority, while fix or purgeOrphans requires admin/write authority. Setup does not request either stronger branch, even when its connection has admin credentials.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The launcher creates a new daemon data directory owner-only and a new daemon log with mode 0600. Existing directories are left unchanged. These existing controls also apply when setup becomes the auto-launch caller; they do not prove the permissions of a pre-existing deployment.

Explanation

PR #1061 requirements are implemented. setup.ts runs doctor.run({}) after setup, writes doctor findings through the existing writers, and adds a human machine line plus a JSON machine object. The summary reports platform status, includes iOS only for darwin, and reports missing prerequisites without changing the exit code. Connection and gateway cases produce not checked output. Tests cover text, JSON, stderr, missing prerequisites, unavailable drivers, non-macOS output, MCP failure, and gateway behavior. The CLI reference documents the new output.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within #1061. The doctor.ts change extracts the existing finding writers without changing simlock doctor output or doctor.run. The environment fields, tests, CLI guidance, and CLI reference support the setup behavior. The PR does not change the out-of-scope getting-started or connect-your-agent pages.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 12.50% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 50.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 8 functions across 7 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Require a daemon-backed machine result in this e2e test.

mode: "auto" leaves the daemon stopped so the setup command must auto-start and connect to it. The default fixture registers both fake drivers and provides a doctor response. The current regex also accepts not checked, so a regression that skips the connection and returns the fallback can pass CI. Remove that alternative.

Skill statuses are `wrote`, `replaced` and `skipped`; MCP statuses are `connected`, `already`, `failed` and `skipped`. The command never contacts a daemon.
Skill statuses are `wrote`, `replaced` and `skipped`; MCP statuses are `connected`, `already`, `failed` and `skipped`.

After the skill is installed, `setup` also runs the checks of [`simlock doctor`](#simlock-doctor) (without `--fix`), starting the daemon if it is not running, and ends the report with a `machine` line. The line names each platform this machine checks, iOS only on macOS: `ok`, `missing: <prerequisite>[, <prerequisite>]` or `unavailable: <reason>`, joined with `, `. Doctor's own lines about what to do go to stderr, as they do for `simlock doctor`. A missing platform is reported, never a failure: the exit code stays what it was. When the check cannot run (the daemon does not start, or it is a gateway), the line reads `not checked: <message>`.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Correct the setup side-effect promise.

This new daemon-start behavior contradicts the statement above that setup “touches nothing outside the simlock directory.” That statement now misleads users even with --no-mcp. Limit the promise to skill installation, and describe daemon startup separately. As per coding guidelines, “A change to the public surface … updates the pages that describe it in the same change.” (raw.githubusercontent.com)

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Documentation**
* Clarified when to install an agent skill versus paste setup rules, and
documented user and project scopes for Claude Code and user-only scope
for Codex.
* Added an agent-focused setup example covering global installation,
project and tool options, MCP configuration, JSON output, and device
lease and release commands.
* Clarified that setup checks the machine, so a separate `simlock
doctor` step is unnecessary.
