feat(native): add macOS setup and diagnostics

[seanperez29]

Summary

• reject entitlement ownership claims from unmodeled sibling platforms and preserve the approved platform during remote reinspection
• permit unrelated siblings with unsupported platforms only when every inspected layer proves they have no entitlement assignment; retain shared-file and uncertain-ownership blockers
• extend native Apple inspection, setup, and Doctor diagnostics to macOS application targets
• enable App Sandbox outgoing-network access for supported sandboxed macOS targets
• validate shared iOS and macOS targets across every supported platform view
• reconcile platform-specific SDK linkage, Swift sources, deployment floors, Bundle IDs, and entitlements
• diagnose but refuse automatic mutation when a target also ships an unmodeled platform such as visionOS or Mac Catalyst
• reuse shared target selection and entitlement XML editing while retaining macOS-specific validation
• label interactive target choices with iOS, macOS, or shared-platform support and the project path

Scope

This layer generalizes the native coordinator for macOS and supported iOS/macOS targets rather than introducing a second setup pipeline.

Targets containing visionOS, Mac Catalyst, or another unmodeled shipping platform can still be inspected and diagnosed, but automatic local and remote mutation is blocked. Xcode JSON project-format support remains in the following PR.

Validation

Current head: 33e0ea2db881654e38d7a8e469eb918c5c59d0ac.

• Formatting, lint, typechecking, git diff --check, and all 4,138 unit tests passed. Lint retains the existing unused-parameter warning in commands/apps/shared.ts.
• Integrated head e07409d7 passed all 4,338 unit tests and compilation. All three updated branch heads (feat(native): add macOS setup and diagnostics #486, feat(init): support Xcode JSON project format #488, fix(init): improve established Apple app setup and interactive flow #493) passed local checks independently; the earlier six branches are unchanged.
• Regression coverage verifies unmodeled-platform entitlement ownership, the default platform-aware remote reader, and strict Associated Domain options while preserving Sign in with Apple sharing support.
• All 36 PBX/JSON corpus scenarios passed dry run, apply, unchanged rerun, and read-only Doctor assertions as applicable. All 12 relevant unsigned shared-target builds passed (iOS Simulator and macOS). The previous 2aed604b integrated validation's 40-build result is historical; 40 builds were not rerun in this pass.
• Four targeted Xcode ownership probes verified blocked existing-file and new-file mutations for visionOS-only siblings in PBX/JSON, with unchanged project bytes. Four real shared-project checks exercised the actual macOS remote target reader successfully.
• Toolchains: Xcode 26.5 (17F42) for PBX and Xcode 27.2 beta (27B5019j) for JSON. APIs used read-only stubs; no live backend writes were performed.
• Credential-backed E2E was attempted but timed out in 1Password after 45 seconds before tests started. It remains an outstanding release check, not a passing or failing test. GitHub CI was not awaited; signed-device Apple sign-in was not rerun.
• Detailed local evidence: clerk-cli-real-xcode-corpus/reports/2026-09-25-coderabbit-followup.md. Prior 40-build and signing-output validation remains recorded in the earlier reports.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change extends native Apple project inspection, setup, and doctor checks to macOS and multiplatform iOS/macOS targets. It adds platform-aware build-setting and target evidence, macOS network capability planning, and platform-specific entitlement, SDK, and registration handling. Setup revalidates platform identity before local commits and remote mutations. CLI descriptions and tests cover macOS targets and unsupported platform cases.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

- Around line 477-478: Fail closed when an unmodeled sibling may assign
entitlements but its SDK-conditional file path cannot be checked. Update the
ownership check in `associated-domain.ts` at lines 477–478 to reject exclusive
ownership in that case, and apply the same rule before authorizing a new
entitlement destination in `entitlements-settings.ts` at lines 788–790.
- Line 471: Update the plan produced by prepareIOSAssociatedDomainMutation to
retain the approved allowSelectedTargetPlatformSharing choice, and pass that
recorded choice to both the ownership check and the postcondition so preparation
preserves selected-target sharing.

In `@packages/cli-core/src/commands/init/ios/native-remote.ts`:
- Around line 819-820: Update defaultTargetReader to pass platform:
snapshot.platform to inspectIOSProject, ensuring shared iOS/macOS targets are
inspected through the approved platform view before the identity comparison
rejects stale targets.
