Summary

Fixes parameter validation bug in three project-discovery tools where tools were receiving {signal:{}, requestId:1} instead of actual user parameters, and updates Reloaderoo documentation to reflect latest v1.1.2+ changes.

Background/Details

Bug Fix Root Cause Analysis:

  • Root Cause: Tools using z.object({...}) schema pattern were not receiving parameters correctly from MCP clients
  • Specific Conditions: Affected list_schems_ws, show_build_set_proj, and show_build_set_ws tools when called via Cursor AI or other MCP clients
  • Why Current Code Failed: The z.object() wrapper in schema definitions prevented proper parameter parsing, causing tools to receive internal MCP protocol objects instead of user parameters

Documentation Updates:

  • Reloaderoo documentation was outdated and referenced older CLI interface from pre-v1.1.2

Solution

Bug Fix Technical Approach:

  • Changed schema definitions from z.object({param: z.string().describe('...')}) to plain object {param: z.string().describe(...)}
  • Added proper parameter casting in list_schems_ws for safe property access: const paramsRecord = params as Record<string, unknown>;
  • Maintained all existing validation logic and error handling

Documentation Updates:

  • Added version reference (v1.1.2+) to both documentation files
  • Updated command structure to match latest CLI interface
  • Fixed info command options to use -v, --verbose format
  • Preserved important debug logging capabilities for development workflows
  • Removed outdated --raw and per-command --log-level options that don't exist in v1.1.2

Testing

Bug Fix Reproduction & Validation:

  • Reproduction Steps: Called list_schems_ws via Cursor AI with valid parameters, received "Required parameter 'workspacePath' is missing" error despite parameter being provided
  • Validation Method: Used Reloaderoo CLI to systematically test affected tools before and after fix
  • Manual Testing: Verified all three tools (list_schems_ws, show_build_set_proj, show_build_set_ws) work correctly with the fix
  • Edge Cases: Tested with various parameter combinations and verified error handling remains intact

Documentation Testing:

  • Verified all command examples work with latest Reloaderoo v1.1.2
  • Confirmed debug logging options are correctly documented
  • Tested command structure matches actual CLI behavior

Notes

  • Bug affects only tools that used z.object() schema pattern - other tools with plain object schemas were unaffected
  • No breaking changes to tool interfaces or functionality
  • Documentation updates preserve development-critical debug logging capabilities
  • Both changes are backward compatible and improve user experience

Walkthrough

This update introduces extensive type safety improvements, stricter ESLint rules, and enhanced documentation for manual and automated testing. TypeScript parameter types are now explicit across all MCP tools, replacing generic records. ESLint and code pattern scripts enforce and report on unsafe patterns. Documentation is expanded for manual QA, release, and linting processes. Several runtime type guards and error handling improvements are also included.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
TypeScript Type Safety Refactor (MCP Tools)
src/mcp/tools/**/*
All MCP tool logic and handler functions now use explicit, strongly-typed parameter interfaces or type aliases instead of Record<string, unknown>. Defaulting, validation, and error handling are updated for type safety. Non-null assertions and explicit casting are introduced throughout.
UI Testing Tool Type Safety
src/mcp/tools/ui-testing/*
All UI testing tools' logic and handler functions use explicit parameter types. Non-null assertions are added for validation errors. The executeAxeCommand function's return type is changed to Promise<void> in all tools, shifting response creation to the caller.
Simulator/Device/Mac Project Tool Type Safety
src/mcp/tools/simulator-, src/mcp/tools/device-, src/mcp/tools/macos-*
All simulator, device, and macOS project tools now use explicit parameter types, with improved type guards, non-null assertions, and default value handling via nullish coalescing. Type safety is improved for command construction and validation.
Project Scaffolding Type Safety
src/mcp/tools/project-scaffolding/*
Scaffolding tools for iOS and macOS projects now use explicit parameter types. Nullish coalescing replaces logical OR for defaulting. Directory entry handling is explicitly typed.
Resource and Dynamic Tool Registration
src/core/dynamic-tools.ts, src/core/resources.ts
Server and tool handler interfaces are explicitly typed. Resource registration uses array conversion for iteration.
Diagnostics and CLI Improvements
src/diagnostic-cli.ts, src/mcp/tools/diagnostics/diagnostic.ts
Diagnostic tool invocation is type checked at runtime. Result parsing uses type assertions and nullish coalescing for safer fallback.
Type Guards and Runtime Validation
src/mcp/tools/device-shared/list_devices.ts, src/mcp/tools/simulator-shared/list_sims.ts, ...
Device and simulator listing tools introduce type guards to validate parsed JSON structures before processing, improving runtime safety.
Test and Mock Improvements
src/mcp/tools//tests/.test.ts
Test imports updated for type safety. Mock process objects are explicitly typed. Test assertions use nullish coalescing.
ESLint and Code Pattern Enforcement
eslint.config.js, scripts/check-code-patterns.js, docs/ESLINT_TYPE_SAFETY.md
ESLint config adds strict type safety rules, especially for unsafe TypeScript patterns. The code pattern checker script is expanded to detect TypeScript anti-patterns. A new documentation file explains ESLint rules, migration, and agent orchestration for linting.
Manual Testing and QA Documentation
docs/MANUAL_TESTING.md, docs/TESTING.md, .claude/agents/xcodebuild-mcp-qa-tester.md
New and expanded documentation mandates exhaustive manual black-box testing of all MCP tools using Reloaderoo, with detailed QA agent instructions and reporting templates.
Release and Workflow Enhancements
docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md, .github/workflows/ci.yml
Release and CI/CD docs now require typecheck, lint, and test before commit/merge. A new CI workflow step runs npm run typecheck.
Tool Summary and Scripts
scripts/tool-summary.js, package.json
New CLI tool script summarizes available tools/resources in the MCP server. New npm scripts added for tool listing and summary.
Documentation Updates
docs/RELOADEROO.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/ESLINT_TYPE_SAFETY.md
Documentation updated for clarity, versioning, and best practices. Reloaderoo usage examples are clarified and updated.
Nullish Coalescing Operator Adoption
src/index.ts, src/utils/*, ...
Codebase-wide replacement of logical OR (`

🐛 Critical Issues Found

1. Type Safety Issue in show_build_set_proj.ts

File: src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/show_build_set_proj.ts:33-36

// ❌ PROBLEM: Accessing properties on params: unknown without type casting
const projectValidation = validateRequiredParam('projectPath', params.projectPath);
const schemeValidation = validateRequiredParam('scheme', params.scheme);

Issue: TypeScript error - cannot access properties on unknown type.

Fix Needed: Cast params to Record<string, unknown> first, similar to list_schems_ws.ts:

const paramsRecord = params as Record<string, unknown>;
const projectValidation = validateRequiredParam('projectPath', paramsRecord.projectPath);
const schemeValidation = validateRequiredParam('scheme', paramsRecord.scheme);

2. Test Coverage Issues - Tests Will Fail

All three test files need updates to work with the new parameter handling:

Files Affected:

  • src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/__tests__/list_schems_ws.test.ts
  • src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/__tests__/show_build_set_proj.test.ts
  • src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/__tests__/show_build_set_ws.test.ts

Problem: Tests still pass typed objects directly to logic functions that now expect unknown parameters.
Example: Line 112 in list_schems_ws.test.ts:

const result = await list_schems_wsLogic(params, trackingExecutor);
// Should be: await list_schems_wsLogic(params as unknown, trackingExecutor);

Positive Findings

Code Quality & Best Practices

  • Consistent Implementation: Good use of the same validation pattern across tools
  • Type Safety: Proper casting after validation (except for the issue noted above)
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling maintained
  • Documentation: Clear descriptions updated appropriately

Bug Fix Assessment

  • Root Cause Correctly Identified: The z.object() wrapper was indeed causing parameter parsing issues
  • Solution is Sound: Moving to plain object schemas with manual type casting is the right approach
  • Backward Compatibility: No breaking changes to tool interfaces

Documentation Updates

  • Accurate Version References: Properly updated to reflect Reloaderoo v1.1.2+
  • Command Consistency: Info command now shows correct -v, --verbose format
  • Comprehensive Coverage: All relevant documentation sections updated

🔒 Security & Performance

Security

  • No Security Concerns: Changes don't introduce security vulnerabilities
  • Validation Maintained: All parameter validation logic preserved
  • Type Safety: Proper type casting prevents runtime errors

Performance

  • Minimal Impact: Schema changes have negligible performance impact
  • No Regression: No performance degradation expected
  • Efficient Implementation: Type casting approach is lightweight

📋 Recommendations

High Priority (Must Fix Before Merge)

  1. Fix TypeScript Error: Update show_build_set_proj.ts to cast params before property access
  2. Update Tests: Modify all three test files to pass unknown parameters to logic functions

Medium Priority (Consider for Follow-up)

  1. Test Consistency: Consider standardizing the parameter casting pattern across all three tools
  2. Documentation: Add a comment explaining why the parameter casting is needed for future maintainers

Low Priority (Nice to Have)

  1. Type Definitions: Consider creating a utility type for the parameter casting pattern to improve maintainability

🧪 Test Coverage Impact

Current Status: Tests will likely fail due to type mismatches
Required Updates:

  • Update test calls to pass parameters as unknown type
  • Verify all test assertions still work with the new parameter handling
  • Consider adding specific tests for the parameter casting logic

Recommendation: Run the test suite after fixing the TypeScript issue to identify any additional test failures.


Overall Assessment: This is a solid bug fix with good root cause analysis and appropriate solution. The main concerns are the TypeScript error and test compatibility issues that need to be addressed before merge.

🧹 Nitpick comments (8)
CLAUDE.md (3)

25-29: Spelling typo in introductory sentence

assistants is miss-spelled as “assisants” on line 1.
Tiny, but this is the very first sentence readers see—worth correcting.


27-27: Minor wording tweak for version qualifier

“Reloaderoo (v1.1.2+) provides …” is clear, but the parentheses break the normal flow.
Consider:

-**Reloaderoo** (v1.1.2+) provides
+**Reloaderoo v1.1.2 and later** provides

Removes the parenthetical and keeps the version constraint explicit.


91-96: Duplicate examples – collapse to avoid noise

The timeout & debug examples here repeat the exact commands shown a few lines above.
Trimming to a single authoritative example keeps this section terse.

-# Use timeout configuration if needed
-npx reloaderoo inspect server-info --timeout 60000 -- node build/index.js
-
-# Debug logging (use proxy mode for detailed logging)
-npx reloaderoo proxy --log-level debug -- node build/index.js
+# Timeout configuration
+npx reloaderoo inspect server-info --timeout 60000 -- node build/index.js

(since full debug-logging examples already exist in Proxy Mode).

docs/RELOADEROO.md (5)

146-148: Highlight case-sensitive -V vs -v to avoid mix-ups

Later in the doc -v, --verbose is introduced (Info command).
Because -V vs -v differ only by case, add a quick note:

-V (uppercase) prints version, -v (lowercase) enables verbose output.

Helps readers avoid a classic “why is nothing printing?” moment.


207-208: Consistent option ordering

Here the verbose flag is introduced as -v, --verbose. Elsewhere (proxy options) long flags precede short ones. For visual consistency throughout:

-  -v, --verbose
+  --verbose, -v

Purely cosmetic, but uniform patterns aid scanning.


352-354: CLI debug hint lacks an explicit inspect example

The guidance tells users to “Enable debug logging for CLI commands (via proxy debug mode)” but never shows an inspect-level flag. Add one to prevent unnecessary context-switching:

-# Enable debug logging for CLI commands (via proxy debug mode)
-npx reloaderoo proxy --log-level debug -- node build/index.js
+# Enable debug logging directly in CLI mode
+npx reloaderoo inspect list-tools --log-level debug -- node build/index.js

388-388: Redundant debug example

Lines 385 – 388 show two proxy-debug commands that do the same thing (--debug--log-level debug). Keeping one avoids reader confusion.

-npx reloaderoo proxy --debug -- node build/index.js  # For proxy mode
-npx reloaderoo proxy --log-level debug -- node build/index.js  # For detailed proxy logging
+npx reloaderoo proxy --log-level debug -- node build/index.js

399-399: Nit: wrap flags in back-ticks for monospace

Inline flags look better quoted:

-4. **Enable debug logging**: Use --log-level debug or --debug for verbose output
+4. **Enable debug logging**: Use `--log-level debug` or `--debug` for verbose output

3-4: Version guard reads well – LGTM

The added clarification that the guide applies to v1.1.2+ tightens expectations.

src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/list_schems_ws.ts (3)

28-29: LGTM: Safe parameter casting implementation.

The explicit casting to Record<string, unknown> properly addresses the MCP protocol issue by ensuring safe property access while maintaining type safety.


32-32: LGTM: Consistent parameter access pattern.

The usage of paramsRecord.workspacePath is consistent with the new parameter casting approach and maintains the existing validation flow.

Also applies to: 37-37


105-107: LGTM: Schema fix addresses MCP protocol issue.

Removing the z.object() wrapper while preserving individual field validation correctly resolves the parameter reception bug described in the PR objectives.

src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/show_build_set_proj.ts (1)

88-91: LGTM: Schema change resolves MCP parameter reception issue

The schema update correctly removes the z.object() wrapper while preserving per‐field validation. This file already uses validateRequiredParam checks and casts params to typedParams, so no further adjustments are needed here.

src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/show_build_set_ws.ts (1)

81-84: LGTM: Schema change addresses MCP protocol issue.

The removal of z.object() wrapper correctly fixes the parameter reception bug while preserving field validation. This file already has proper parameter typing (Record<string, unknown>) which explains why additional parameter casting wasn't needed here.

🐛 Critical Issues Found

1. Test Compatibility Issue in list_schems_ws.test.ts

File: src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/__tests__/list_schems_ws.test.ts:115

// ❌ PROBLEM: Potential TypeScript error
const params: ListSchemsWsParams = {
  workspacePath: '/path/to/MyProject.xcworkspace',
};
const result = await list_schems_wsLogic(params, trackingExecutor);

Issue: The list_schems_wsLogic function now expects params: unknown, but the test passes a typed ListSchemsWsParams object.

Fix Needed: Cast the params to unknown:

const result = await list_schems_wsLogic(params as unknown, trackingExecutor);

2. Inconsistent Test Patterns

The test files use different approaches:

  • list_schems_ws.test.ts: Uses typed interfaces then calls logic functions
  • show_build_set_ws.test.ts: Uses plain objects directly

Recommendation: Standardize on using plain objects or add as unknown casting for consistency.


Positive Findings

72-94: Improve type safety by using typed parameters.

The function accepts Record<string, unknown> but then casts properties to specific types. Consider using the typed interface:

-function updatePackageSwiftFile(content: string, params: Record<string, unknown>): string {
+function updatePackageSwiftFile(content: string, params: ScaffoldMacOSProjectParams & { platform?: string }): string {
   let result = content;

   // Update ALL target name references in Package.swift
-  const featureName = `${params.projectName as string}Feature`;
-  const testName = `${params.projectName as string}FeatureTests`;
+  const featureName = `${params.projectName}Feature`;
+  const testName = `${params.projectName}FeatureTests`;

This would eliminate the need for type casts and provide better compile-time safety.


99-151: Use typed parameters to eliminate excessive type casting.

Similar to the previous function, this could benefit from proper typing:

-function updateXCConfigFile(content: string, params: Record<string, unknown>): string {
+function updateXCConfigFile(content: string, params: ScaffoldMacOSProjectParams & { platform?: string }): string {

This would eliminate all the as string casts throughout the function, making it cleaner and more type-safe.


265-291: Use proper Node.js Dirent types instead of casting.

The cast on line 266 is unnecessary. Use the proper type from Node.js:

+import { Dirent } from 'fs';

 for (const entry of entries) {
-  const dirent = entry as { isDirectory(): boolean; isFile(): boolean; name: string };
+  const dirent = entry as Dirent;

Or better yet, ensure FileSystemExecutor.readdir returns properly typed Dirent[] to avoid any casting.

🧹 Nitpick comments (18)
src/mcp/tools/ui-testing/button.ts (1)

150-152: Good response format standardization

Converting to structured ToolResponse format improves consistency. Note that this uses inline object creation while other files use createTextResponse utility - both approaches work but using the utility function would be more consistent.

src/mcp/tools/simulator-project/test_sim_id_proj.ts (1)

66-66: Consider using double casting for consistency

Direct casting as TestSimIdProjParams works but other files in this PR use the safer double casting pattern as unknown as TestSimIdProjParams. Consider using the double casting approach for consistency and to avoid potential TypeScript casting issues.

-    return test_sim_id_projLogic(args as TestSimIdProjParams, getDefaultCommandExecutor());
+    return test_sim_id_projLogic(args as unknown as TestSimIdProjParams, getDefaultCommandExecutor());
src/mcp/tools/simulator-workspace/build_run_sim_id_ws.ts (2)

22-29: Consider reducing explicit casting complexity.

While the type safety improvements are good, the extensive explicit casting suggests the parameter flow could be simplified. The function receives typed parameters but immediately casts them back to Record<string, unknown> for validation.

Consider refactoring the validation functions to accept typed parameters directly:

-const sharedBuildParams: SharedBuildParams = {
-  workspacePath: params.workspacePath as string | undefined,
-  projectPath: params.projectPath as string | undefined,
-  scheme: params.scheme as string,
-  configuration: params.configuration as string,
-  derivedDataPath: params.derivedDataPath as string | undefined,
-  extraArgs: params.extraArgs as string[] | undefined,
-};
+const sharedBuildParams: SharedBuildParams = {
+  workspacePath: params.workspacePath,
+  projectPath: params.projectPath,
+  scheme: params.scheme,
+  configuration: params.configuration,
+  derivedDataPath: params.derivedDataPath,
+  extraArgs: params.extraArgs,
+};

100-111: Excessive casting in command construction.

The command array construction has multiple explicit casts that could be simplified with better typing upstream.

Consider creating a helper function for command construction to reduce casting:

function buildCommandArray(params: Record<string, unknown>): string[] {
  const command = ['xcodebuild', '-showBuildSettings'];
  
  if (params.workspacePath) {
    command.push('-workspace', String(params.workspacePath));
  } else if (params.projectPath) {
    command.push('-project', String(params.projectPath));
  }
  
  command.push(
    '-scheme', String(params.scheme),
    '-configuration', String(params.configuration),
    '-destination', `platform=${XcodePlatform.iOSSimulator},id=${String(params.simulatorId)}`
  );
  
  return command;
}
src/mcp/tools/device-workspace/build_dev_ws.ts (2)

27-33: Validation pattern could be simplified.

The pattern of casting typed parameters back to Record<string, unknown> for validation adds unnecessary complexity.

Consider creating typed validation functions or using the typed parameters directly:

-const paramsRecord = params as Record<string, unknown>;
-const workspaceValidation = validateRequiredParam('workspacePath', paramsRecord.workspacePath);
+const workspaceValidation = validateRequiredParam('workspacePath', params.workspacePath);

This would require updating the validation utility to handle typed parameters, but would eliminate redundant casting.


66-66: Double casting indicates design issue.

The as unknown as BuildDevWsParams double cast suggests a type system mismatch that could be resolved with better type alignment.

Consider using a single cast or better type alignment:

-return build_dev_wsLogic(args as unknown as BuildDevWsParams, getDefaultCommandExecutor());
+return build_dev_wsLogic(args as BuildDevWsParams, getDefaultCommandExecutor());
src/mcp/tools/simulator-workspace/build_sim_name_ws.ts (1)

56-56: Redundant nullish coalescing operation.

The processedParams.preferXcodebuild ?? false is redundant since processedParams already defaults this value to false on line 42.

Remove the redundant nullish coalescing:

-processedParams.preferXcodebuild ?? false,
+processedParams.preferXcodebuild,
docs/TESTING.md (2)

16-16: Fix table of contents numbering

The table of contents numbering is off - item 10 should be 11 and item 11 should be 12.

-10. [Manual Testing with Reloaderoo](#manual-testing-with-reloaderoo)
-11. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+10. [Manual Testing with Reloaderoo](#manual-testing-with-reloaderoo)
+11. [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)

482-1174: Consider condensing the manual testing section

While the thoroughness is commendable, the 700+ line section is quite verbose and repetitive. The key points could be communicated more concisely while maintaining the same level of detail.

Suggestions for improvement:

  • Consolidate repetitive warnings into a single "Critical Rules" section
  • Move detailed command examples to appendices
  • Use more structured formatting (tables, bullet points) instead of long paragraphs
  • Reduce psychological coaching content and focus on technical procedures

The content is technically sound, but the presentation could be more professional and easier to navigate.

docs/TYPESCRIPT_FIXING_PROCESS.md (1)

28-80: Fix fenced code block language specification.

The fenced code block should specify the language for proper syntax highlighting.

-```

[static_analysis_hints]

docs/MANUAL_TESTING.md (1)

1-235: Document needs structural improvements for better readability.

While the comprehensive testing methodology is valuable, consider these improvements:

  1. Fix heading structure: The static analysis correctly identifies that bold text is being used instead of proper headings (lines 21, 58, 100, etc.)
  2. Reduce repetition: The "no shortcuts" principle is repeated extensively - consider consolidating these sections
  3. Improve conciseness: Some sections are very verbose and could be more succinct while maintaining the key information

Example fix for heading structure:

-**🚨 MANDATORY TESTING SCOPE - NO EXCEPTIONS:**
+## 🚨 MANDATORY TESTING SCOPE - NO EXCEPTIONS

-**❌ FORBIDDEN EFFICIENCY SHORTCUTS:**
+### ❌ FORBIDDEN EFFICIENCY SHORTCUTS
src/mcp/tools/device-project/test_device_proj.ts (2)

32-32: Remove misleading comment.

This comment about "Remove all custom dependency injection" doesn't align with the actual changes made. The dependency injection pattern with executors is still present and functioning correctly.

-// Remove all custom dependency injection - use direct imports

140-140: Consider removing unnecessary cast.

Since the function now accepts TestDeviceProjParams and all usage within the function accesses properties directly from params, this cast to Record<string, unknown> may no longer be necessary.

-  const _paramsRecord = params as Record<string, unknown>;
src/mcp/tools/logging/stop_device_log_cap.ts (1)

94-164: Defensive legacy compatibility implementation.

The runtime checks for fsToUse.promises with fallbacks to fs.promises provide good compatibility, but the pattern is quite repetitive. Consider extracting this logic to avoid duplication.

Example refactor to reduce duplication:

const fsToUse = (fileSystem as typeof fs) || fs;
+const fsPromises = fsToUse.promises || fs.promises;

const mockFileSystemExecutor: FileSystemExecutor = {
  async mkdir(path: string, options?: { recursive?: boolean }): Promise<void> {
-    if (fsToUse.promises) {
-      await fsToUse.promises.mkdir(path, options);
-    } else {
-      await fs.promises.mkdir(path, options);
-    }
+    await fsPromises.mkdir(path, options);
  },
  // ... apply same pattern to other methods
src/mcp/tools/project-scaffolding/scaffold_macos_project.ts (1)

58-67: Consider using Zod's type inference to avoid duplication.

Instead of manually defining the type, you could derive it from the schema to ensure they stay in sync:

-type ScaffoldMacOSProjectParams = {
-  projectName: string;
-  outputPath: string;
-  bundleIdentifier?: string;
-  displayName?: string;
-  marketingVersion?: string;
-  currentProjectVersion?: string;
-  customizeNames?: boolean;
-  deploymentTarget?: string;
-};
+type ScaffoldMacOSProjectParams = z.infer<typeof ScaffoldmacOSProjectSchema>;
src/mcp/tools/simulator-project/build_run_sim_name_proj.ts (1)

56-70: Simplify validation by using typed parameters directly.

The cast to Record<string, unknown> is unnecessary since params are already typed:

-  const paramsRecord = params as Record<string, unknown>;
-
   // Validate required parameters
-  const projectValidation = validateRequiredParam('projectPath', paramsRecord.projectPath);
+  const projectValidation = validateRequiredParam('projectPath', params.projectPath);
   if (!projectValidation.isValid) return projectValidation.errorResponse!;

-  const schemeValidation = validateRequiredParam('scheme', paramsRecord.scheme);
+  const schemeValidation = validateRequiredParam('scheme', params.scheme);
   if (!schemeValidation.isValid) return schemeValidation.errorResponse!;

-  const simulatorNameValidation = validateRequiredParam(
-    'simulatorName',
-    paramsRecord.simulatorName,
-  );
+  const simulatorNameValidation = validateRequiredParam('simulatorName', params.simulatorName);
   if (!simulatorNameValidation.isValid) return simulatorNameValidation.errorResponse!;
src/mcp/tools/macos-workspace/build_run_mac_ws.ts (1)

211-217: Consolidate default value handling.

Defaults are being applied both here and within the logic functions. Consider handling defaults in one place for clarity:

   async handler(args: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<ToolResponse> {
     const typedArgs = args as BuildRunMacWsParams;
-    return build_run_mac_wsLogic(
-      {
-        ...typedArgs,
-        configuration: typedArgs.configuration ?? 'Debug',
-        preferXcodebuild: typedArgs.preferXcodebuild ?? false,
-      },
-      getDefaultCommandExecutor(),
-    );
+    return build_run_mac_wsLogic(typedArgs, getDefaultCommandExecutor());

Let the logic function handle the defaults to avoid duplication.

src/mcp/tools/simulator-project/build_run_sim_id_proj.ts (1)

67-77: Remove unnecessary type casting for validation.

Similar to other files, the cast to Record<string, unknown> is unnecessary:

-  const paramsRecord = params as Record<string, unknown>;
-
   // Validate required parameters
-  const projectValidation = validateRequiredParam('projectPath', paramsRecord.projectPath);
+  const projectValidation = validateRequiredParam('projectPath', params.projectPath);
   if (!projectValidation.isValid) return projectValidation.errorResponse!;

-  const schemeValidation = validateRequiredParam('scheme', paramsRecord.scheme);
+  const schemeValidation = validateRequiredParam('scheme', params.scheme);
   if (!schemeValidation.isValid) return schemeValidation.errorResponse!;

-  const simulatorIdValidation = validateRequiredParam('simulatorId', paramsRecord.simulatorId);
+  const simulatorIdValidation = validateRequiredParam('simulatorId', params.simulatorId);
   if (!simulatorIdValidation.isValid) return simulatorIdValidation.errorResponse!;

🐛 Critical Issues Found

1. Type Safety Issue in show_build_set_proj.ts

File: src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/show_build_set_proj.ts:28-46

// ❌ PROBLEM: Function signature mismatch
export async function show_build_set_projLogic(
  params: unknown,  // Expects unknown
  executor: CommandExecutor,
): Promise<ToolResponse> {
  const paramsRecord = params as Record<string, unknown>;
  // Accessing properties on unknown type without explicit casting

Issue: Unlike list_schems_ws.ts which properly handles the parameter casting pattern, this file directly accesses properties on the unknown type parameter, which could cause TypeScript compilation errors.

Fix Needed: Follow the same pattern as list_schems_ws.ts - cast to Record<string, unknown> before property access.

2. Test Compatibility Issues

File: src/mcp/tools/project-discovery/__tests__/list_schems_ws.test.ts:41-44

// ❌ POTENTIAL ISSUE: Schema validation pattern change
const zodSchema = z.object(plugin.schema);
expect(zodSchema.safeParse({ workspacePath: '/path/to/MyWorkspace.xcworkspace' }).success).toBe(true);

Issue: The test creates a z.object() wrapper around the schema, but the bug fix was specifically to remove this wrapper. This test may not accurately reflect the actual MCP parameter handling.

Recommendation: Update tests to verify the actual parameter parsing behavior rather than just schema validation.


Positive Findings

Code Quality & Best Practices

  • Consistent Implementation: Good use of the same validation pattern across list_schems_ws.ts and show_build_set_ws.ts
  • Type Safety Improvements: Extensive addition of typed interfaces and explicit parameter casting across 100+ files
  • Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling maintained throughout
  • CI Enhancement: Addition of npm run typecheck step improves quality gates

Bug Fix Assessment

  • Root Cause Correctly Identified: The z.object() wrapper was indeed causing parameter parsing issues with MCP clients
  • Solution is Sound: Moving to plain object schemas with manual type casting is the right approach
  • Backward Compatibility: No breaking changes to tool interfaces

Documentation Updates

  • Accurate Version References: Properly updated to reflect Reloaderoo v1.1.2+
  • Command Consistency: Examples updated to match current CLI interface
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Both CLAUDE.md and docs/RELOADEROO.md updated appropriately

🔒 Security & Performance

Security

  • No Security Concerns: Changes don't introduce security vulnerabilities
  • Input Validation: All parameter validation logic preserved and improved
  • Type Safety: Proper casting prevents runtime type errors

Performance

  • Minimal Impact: Schema changes have negligible performance impact
  • No Regression: Type casting is lightweight and efficient
  • CI Performance: Added typecheck step increases build time but catches issues earlier

📋 Recommendations

High Priority (Must Fix Before Merge)

  1. Fix Parameter Handling: Update show_build_set_proj.ts to use the same parameter casting pattern as the other fixed files
  2. Review Test Coverage: Ensure all tests properly handle the new parameter passing pattern

Medium Priority (Consider for Follow-up)

  1. Test Pattern Consistency: Consider standardizing the parameter validation testing approach across all affected tools
  2. Documentation: Add brief comment explaining why parameter casting is needed for future maintainers

Low Priority (Nice to Have)

  1. Type Utilities: Consider creating utility types for common parameter casting patterns to improve maintainability

🧪 Test Coverage Impact

Current Status: Most tests appear to maintain good coverage with dependency injection patterns
Potential Issues: Some test files may need updates to work with the new unknown parameter handling
Coverage Quality: Good coverage of error conditions, success cases, and edge cases maintained

Recommendation: Run the full test suite after fixing the parameter handling inconsistency to ensure no regressions.


💡 Architecture Assessment

The parameter validation fix represents a sound architectural decision:

  • MCP Compliance: Fixes compatibility issues with MCP client parameter passing
  • Type Safety: Maintains compile-time safety while enabling runtime flexibility
  • Maintainability: Consistent pattern across affected tools
  • Separation of Concerns: Logic functions remain testable with dependency injection

The extensive type safety improvements across the codebase (100 files) show good attention to code quality and maintainability.


Overall Assessment: This is a solid bug fix with good root cause analysis and appropriate solution. The main concern is ensuring consistent parameter handling across all three affected tools, and verifying test compatibility with the new parameter passing pattern.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
src/mcp/tools/device-shared/list_devices.ts (1)

54-67: Simplify the complex type guard implementation.

The nested type assertions make this type guard difficult to read and maintain. Consider extracting helper functions or using a more straightforward approach.

-        // Type guard to validate the device data structure
-        const isValidDeviceData = (data: unknown): data is { result?: { devices?: unknown[] } } => {
-          return (

-            data !== null &&
-            'result' in data &&
-            typeof (data as { result?: unknown }).result === 'object' &&
-            (data as { result?: unknown }).result !== null &&
-            'devices' in ((data as { result?: unknown }).result as { devices?: unknown }) &&
-            Array.isArray(
-              ((data as { result?: unknown }).result as { devices?: unknown[] }).devices,
-            )
-          );
-        };

+          const typedData = data as Record<string, unknown>;
+          if (typeof typedData.result !== 'object' || typedData.result === null) return false;
+          const result = typedData.result as Record<string, unknown>;
+          return Array.isArray(result.devices);

156-212: Solid simulator lookup implementation with suggestion for simplification.

The simulator finding logic is robust with proper error handling. Consider extracting the JSON type checking into a separate function for better maintainability.

// Extract to helper function
function parseSimulatorDevices(jsonOutput: string): Array<{udid: string, name: string}> {
  const parsed: unknown = JSON.parse(jsonOutput);
  // Type checking logic here
  // Return array of available simulators
}

🔇 Additional comments (23)
src/mcp/tools/ui-testing/__tests__/swipe.test.ts (1)

326-326: Excellent type safety improvement with as const satisfies

The change from SwipeParams to as const satisfies Partial<SwipeParams> enhances type safety by:

  • Ensuring the object literal is treated as readonly/const
  • Validating the structure against the expected type
  • Providing better type inference and preventing accidental mutations

This aligns well with the broader type safety improvements across the codebase.

Also applies to: 349-349

src/mcp/tools/logging/__tests__/start_device_log_cap.test.ts (1)

91-91: Good refinement using nullish coalescing operator

The change from || to ?? correctly handles falsy values - now only null or undefined values of result.isError will trigger the fallback to false, while preserving other falsy values like false itself. This is more semantically correct for this assertion.

src/utils/build-utils.ts (1)

311-311: Improved semantic correctness with nullish coalescing

The change from || to ?? ensures that only null or undefined values of simulatorId will trigger the fallback to simulatorName, preserving any other falsy but potentially valid values. This is more semantically correct for this use case.

src/utils/xcodemake.ts (1)

43-43: Consistent nullish coalescing usage

The change from || to ?? is semantically correct here - we only want to fall back to the default 'xcodemake' command when overriddenXcodemakePath is specifically null or undefined, not for other falsy values. This aligns with the type safety improvements throughout the codebase.

src/mcp/tools/macos-workspace/__tests__/launch_mac_app.test.ts (1)

31-31: Better error message handling with nullish coalescing

The change from || to ?? correctly preserves falsy but defined error messages (like empty strings) while only falling back to 'Command failed' when stub.error is null or undefined. This provides more accurate error reporting in tests.

src/utils/template-manager.ts (1)

71-71: Good use of nullish coalescing operator.

The change from || to ?? correctly preserves falsy but defined environment variable values (like empty strings), which is the expected behavior when handling environment variables.

src/utils/sentry.ts (1)

46-46: Consistent improvements with nullish coalescing.

All changes correctly use ?? instead of || for default values, ensuring that falsy but defined values (like empty strings or false) are preserved. This is particularly important for environment variables and version strings where an empty value might be intentional.

Also applies to: 90-90, 115-116, 120-120, 124-124

eslint.config.js (1)

34-57: Excellent type safety improvements to ESLint configuration.

The new rules provide comprehensive protection against unsafe TypeScript patterns:

  • Preventing dangerous type assertions (especially object literal assertions)
  • Catching all forms of unsafe any usage
  • Requiring descriptions for @ts-expect-error while banning @ts-ignore
  • Encouraging modern TypeScript patterns with warnings

The relaxation of these rules for test files (lines 74-79) is appropriate as tests often need more flexibility.

src/mcp/tools/simulator-shared/list_sims.ts (2)

9-55: Excellent addition of runtime type validation.

The new interfaces and comprehensive type guard function provide robust runtime validation of the JSON response from xcrun simctl. This defensive programming approach prevents runtime errors from malformed data and makes the code more maintainable.


79-92: Proper use of type guard for JSON validation.

Good practice using the type guard to validate parsed JSON before casting. The error handling provides clear feedback when the data format is unexpected.

src/mcp/tools/ui-testing/swipe.ts (5)

58-58: Safe use of non-null assertions.

The non-null assertions on errorResponse! are safe here because validateRequiredParam guarantees that errorResponse is defined when isValid is false.

Also applies to: 60-60, 62-62, 64-64, 66-66


152-152: Improved type assertion pattern.

Good practice using the intermediate cast to unknown before the final type assertion. This pattern is safer and aligns with the stricter ESLint rules.


157-162: Clear type definitions for session tracking.

The DescribeUISession interface and explicit typing of the Map improve code clarity and type safety.


187-187: Better separation of concerns.

Changing executeAxeCommand to return void improves separation of concerns by letting the caller handle response creation. This is a cleaner design pattern.

Also applies to: 223-223


210-210: Correct use of nullish coalescing.

Using ?? instead of || ensures that falsy but valid error messages (like empty strings) are preserved.

src/mcp/tools/device-shared/list_devices.ts (4)

111-124: LGTM! Excellent use of nullish coalescing.

The replacement of logical OR with nullish coalescing (??) improves handling of falsy but valid values, following TypeScript best practices.


127-129: LGTM! Consistent nullish coalescing usage.

These changes align with the broader pattern of replacing logical OR with nullish coalescing for safer default value handling.


147-151: LGTM! Proper fallback handling.

The nullish coalescing operators provide appropriate fallback values while preserving valid falsy values.


240-262: LGTM! Complete nullish coalescing implementation.

The nullish coalescing operators complete the consistent pattern throughout the file, ensuring safe handling of optional properties in response formatting.

scripts/check-code-patterns.js (1)

204-375: LGTM! Well-integrated TypeScript anti-pattern detection.

The TypeScript anti-pattern detection is properly integrated into the existing architecture, with consistent filtering, reporting, and analysis logic.

src/mcp/tools/simulator-project/build_run_sim_name_proj.ts (3)

9-18: Excellent type safety improvement!

The explicit BuildRunSimNameProjParams interface significantly improves type safety and code clarity compared to the generic Record<string, unknown>.


28-34: LGTM! Clean parameter transformation.

The creation of the SharedBuildParams object is well-structured and uses appropriate nullish coalescing for default values.


56-69: LGTM! Balanced approach to validation.

The type casting for validation compatibility combined with non-null assertions provides a good balance between type safety and backward compatibility.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Improve non-null assertion pattern detection.

The regex pattern for non-null assertion only matches when followed by a semicolon, but non-null assertions can appear in various contexts.

-  /\!\s*\;/,                         // Non-null assertion operator - USE SPARINGLY (ensure safety)
+  /[a-zA-Z_$][a-zA-Z0-9_$]*\s*!/,   // Non-null assertion operator - USE SPARINGLY (ensure safety)

This pattern better captures non-null assertions after identifiers in various contexts, not just at statement end.

⚠️ Potential issue

Fix misleading device type guard.

The type guard claims to validate a complex device structure but only checks if the input is a non-null object. This could lead to runtime errors when accessing device properties.

             const isValidDevice = (
               device: unknown,
             ): device is {
               visibilityClass?: string;

                 pairingState?: string;
                 tunnelState?: string;

In src/mcp/tools/device-shared/list_devices.ts between lines 72 and 95, the type
guard function isValidDevice currently only checks if the input is a non-null
object, which is misleading given the complex device structure it claims to
validate. To fix this, enhance the type guard by adding checks for the presence
and types of key properties within the device object to ensure it matches the
expected structure before returning true. This will prevent runtime errors when
accessing device properties later.
