-## Build only
+## Build, then run
+
+`stim-ci build` is the only step that compiles. `stim-ci run` never compiles:
 
 ```sh
-npx --yes --package @stim-cli/ci stim-ci build --platform ios --project ./app --artifacts ./build-results

-This compiles or restores an artifact without starting a simulator, emulator,
-Metro server, or app. It does not stop an existing workspace session. iOS builds
-target the simulator; archives, device distribution and web compilation are
-not supported. By default, iOS and Android builds use the same native artifact
-cache as `run`. A later `run` in the same job validates that cache normally; its
-`run.json` reports `cacheKey` and `cacheHit`, which show whether it reused the
-build. Android reuse requires the run's emulator system image to have the host's
-ABI; a configured `android.systemImage` with another ABI, or a physical device,
-misses. An iOS Debug build with `--arch all` is keyed without an architecture,
-so a later Debug `run` misses. macOS builds are not cached, so a later macOS
-`run` builds again.
-
-The result has `stage: "build"`, `build`, `buildPath`, and `artifactPath`.
-The results directory contains `build.json`, `result.json`, `diagnostics.json`,
-and `app.apk` for Android or `app.tar.gz` for iOS/macOS. iOS and macOS also
-keep the archive command's output in `artifact.stdout.log` and
-`artifact.stderr.log`. The archive preserves app
-executable permissions and symlinks when uploaded through an artifact service.
-Extract it with `tar -xzf app.tar.gz`. Importing a downloaded artifact into a
-Stim run is not part of this command.
-
-The library exports `buildCI({ projectRoot, build: { platform: "ios" }, ... })`.
-It accepts the same home/cache, timeout, cancellation and progress options as
-`runCI`. Build cancellation waits for the owned build operation to finish
-cleanup and retains diagnostics; it never calls workspace `stop()`. A cancel or timeout after the artifact is exported does not fail the build
-stage.
+`build` compiles or restores the app from the native artifact cache, without
+starting a simulator, emulator, Metro server, or app, and without stopping an
+existing workspace session. It records the resulting app in the checkout's Stim
+state (the workspace state under the Stim home) for the platform and selectors:
+iOS scheme and configuration, Android variant. A later `build` with the same
+selectors replaces the record. Architecture and ABI are build-only; the last build
+for the selectors wins whatever its architecture.
+
+`run` installs and launches the recorded app exactly as built, then runs the
+test. It does not fingerprint, consult the cache, build or replace the app's JS:
+it trusts the recorded build, so rebuild after changing the project. A Debug app
+loads its JS from Metro, which `run` starts as before. With no recorded build for
+the selectors (or after its app was removed), `run` refuses before touching a
+device with `STIM_NO_RECORDED_BUILD`, and the failure's `remedy` names the command
+to run first, such as `stim-ci build --platform ios --scheme App`. `build` and
+`run` must use the same Stim home: pass the same `--home`, or keep the default.
+
+`--eas-profile <name>` (iOS and Android, build only) downloads a completed EAS
+development build instead of compiling, as `stim ios --eas-profile` does; `run`
+then installs it. Stim never starts an EAS build.
+
+macOS and web are unchanged: `run --platform macos` builds its app itself and web
+has no native build. iOS builds target the simulator; archives, device
+distribution and web compilation are not supported.
+
+`build` exports nothing by default. `--export <path>` also writes the app there:
+`app.apk` for Android, a tar.gz for iOS and macOS that preserves executable
+permissions and symlinks (extract with `tar -xzf`). On a cache hit the archive is
+the slowest part of `build`, so export only when something consumes the file.
+
+The build result has `stage: "build"`, `build`, `buildPath`, and `artifactPath`
+(the export, or null). With `--artifacts` the directory also contains
+`build.json`, `result.json` and `diagnostics.json`.
+
+The library exports `buildCI({ projectRoot, build: { platform: "ios" }, exportPath, ... })`
+and `runCI`. `runCI`'s `run` option takes the selectors of the build to run; build-only
+options such as `easProfile` belong to `buildCI`. Build cancellation waits for the
+owned build operation to finish cleanup and retains diagnostics; it never calls
+workspace `stop()`. A cancel or timeout after the export is written does not fail
+the build stage.
