feat(init): compose native iOS local setup

[seanperez29]

Summary

• validate satisfied Associated Domains using the prepared exact host while preserving custom runtime-key uncertainty
• ignore unrelated stale source entries during prebuilt UI ownership checks while retaining alias and access-error protections
• compose native project inspection and mutation engines into a local inspect → plan → prepare → apply → verify lifecycle
• select compatible ClerkKit and ClerkKitUI products for the detected authentication flow
• plan direct Clerk configuration, SwiftUI environment injection, Associated Domains, and Apple entitlements
• optionally prepare a conservative AuthView starting point for supported SwiftUI projects
• revalidate target ownership, platform evidence, source bytes, and mutation postconditions before reporting success
• reuse the shared Swift file snapshots and entitlement XML helpers for AuthView and Apple entitlement setup

Scope

This layer implements local iOS setup orchestration using the preceding inspection and mutation engines.

It does not authenticate the CLI, select or create a Clerk application, call remote Clerk APIs, expose the flow through the public clerk init command, or add Doctor diagnostics.

Validation

Current head: bc52bf8b058a43f8b09cdfcd018298902a781af9.

• Formatting, lint, typechecking, git diff --check, and all 3,551 unit tests passed.
• Integrated head 2aed604b passed all 4,315 unit tests and compilation. All seven updated branch heads passed local checks independently; feat(init): add iOS project inspection foundations #431 and feat(init): add transactional native iOS mutation engines #453 are unchanged.
• Forty new regressions cover prepared-domain validation, source ownership, atomic retry records, prefix casing, entitlement ownership, JSON document/package ambiguity, platform drift, and equivalent file paths.
• All 36 PBX/JSON corpus scenarios passed dry run, apply, unchanged rerun, and read-only Doctor assertions; all 40 unsigned simulator/macOS builds passed. The two custom-runtime existing-domain cases explicitly verify the dirty-file guard before rerunning unchanged with --allow-dirty.
• Toolchains: Xcode 26.5 (17F42) for PBX and Xcode 27.2 beta (27B5019j) for JSON. Corpus APIs used local GET-only stubs; no live backend writes were performed.
• Credential-backed E2E could not start because the current 1Password account cannot access the AI Enablement vault. It remains an outstanding release check, not a passing or failing test. GitHub CI was not queried or awaited; signed-device Apple sign-in was not rerun.
• Detailed local evidence: clerk-cli-real-xcode-corpus/reports/2026-09-25-coderabbit-five.md. Prior conditional SwiftUI-root and signing-output validation is recorded in the earlier reports.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add an iOS local setup workflow that inspects Xcode projects, builds setup plans, reports native readiness, and previews supported changes before application. The workflow includes planning and transactional mutation support for prebuilt AuthView, Associated Domains, and Sign in with Apple entitlements. Inspection adds exhaustive container discovery and evidence for structurally proven SwiftUI app roots. The changes also add setup error codes and tests for planning, blockers, stale inputs, file preservation, and rollback.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~100 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bc52b

The previously reported failure when adding another iOS setup change alongside an existing associated domain is addressed. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains in the supplied evidence.

- Around line 813-823: Update validateSatisfiedAssociatedDomain to re-plan with
the same deferToPublishableKey setting and compare against the domain derived
during preparation. Accept a deferred ready result only when its file set and
hashes match the prepared plan; update both call sites to pass the prepared
expected domain. Add a custom-configure route test for an already-present
domain, unlinked SDK, and supplied publishable key that verifies
applyIOSPlannedLocalSetup succeeds.

In `@packages/cli-core/src/commands/init/ios/prebuilt-auth.ts`:
- Around line 333-340: Update sourceIdentityOccurrences to use stat so symlink
aliases resolve to their target, and skip membership entries whose paths fail
with ENOENT; rethrow other errors. Keep incomplete memberships returning
undefined and avoid treating stale entries as ownership occurrences.
