 | Command | What it does |
 |---|---|
+| `init [<dir>]` | Writes a new SwiftUI app into `<dir>` (default `.`, created if missing): an Xcode 16 project (`<Name>.xcodeproj`, one app target, iOS 18) whose sources live in a synchronized folder `<Name>/` (`<Name>App.swift`, `ContentView.swift`, an asset catalog), plus a `.gitignore` and a README. It opens in Xcode as is and runs with `dev`; any Swift file added under `<Name>/` belongs to both. `--name <Name>` sets the app name (default: from the directory, `my-app` → `MyApp`), `--bundle-id` the bundle identifier (default `com.example.<Name>`). An existing directory is fine as long as `<Name>.xcodeproj` and `<Name>/` are free; its `.gitignore` gets the missing lines and its README is kept. |
 | `doctor [--install]` | Checks Node ≥ 22, Swift 6.4, the Swift SDK for WebAssembly and `wasm-opt`; `--install` fetches the SDK (`swift sdk install`) and Binaryen into `~/.cache/swiftbrowser`. Swift itself comes from [swiftly](https://www.swift.org/install/) (`swiftly install 6.4.0`), or point `SWIFT_TOOLCHAIN_BIN` at a toolchain's `usr/bin`. |
 | `check <path>` | Lists what the app imports (supported / rewritten / unsupported, with the usual way around each), then compiles the app natively against the shim. Seconds, no wasm; every error names your file and line. |
 | `dev <path>` | Builds the app for WebAssembly and serves it with the SwiftBrowser dev server: landing page with a QR code at `/`, the app at `/app/?app=<Name>`; saving a Swift file rebuilds and reloads with the app's state carried over. `--port`, `--host` (expose on the LAN for phones), `--open`. |
-| `build <path> [-o dist]` | A release build, optimized and stripped with `wasm-opt` (about 18 MB for a small app, 4.6 MB with brotli; 4.5 MB and 1.2 MB in lean mode), and a complete static site around it. `--no-optimize` skips wasm-opt. |

+`dev` and `build` build apps against SwiftBrowser compiled ahead of time
+(with Swift 6.4 and its Swift SDK for WebAssembly): every module of the shim,
+and an archive of each module's objects, in a *kit* under
+`~/.cache/swiftbrowser/kits/` (`SWIFTBROWSER_CACHE` moves the cache). A
+released CLI comes with its kit, @swiftbrowser/kit (23 MB to download) and
+the macros for your machine (@swiftbrowser/kit-linux-x64, -linux-arm64 or
+-darwin-arm64, 4 MB): the first build copies it into the cache and checks
+that your toolchain reads its modules. Where it cannot (another host, a
+toolchain whose compiler reads only modules it wrote), or in a checkout of
+this repository, the first build compiles the kit itself, in a minute or two. A kit takes 83 MB: 50 MB of archives, 15 MB of
+modules and the 18 MB macro executable; SwiftPM's scratch path for building
+kits takes 325 MB more.
+Every app built after that, in any project, compiles its own code and
+packages only: Counter's Swift build takes 6 s where it took 100 s. The app's
+staged package depends on a package in the kit that stands in for
+SwiftBrowser's, with the same products, whose targets link the archives of
+the modules the app's imports need, and the compiler finds the modules
+themselves in the kit (src/kit.ts). The kit is named by the shim's sources,
+the toolchain and the SDK, so a change to any of them (a newer
+`@swiftbrowser/cli`, an edit to the shim in this repository) builds another;
+SwiftPM's scratch path for kits stays in the cache, so that rebuild compiles
+only the modules the change touched, and the three most recent kits are kept.
+`SWIFTBROWSER_KIT=0` builds the shim from its sources in the app's own build
+instead, as before kits. `check` compiles natively and does not use the kit.
+
+Building several apps in a row (a CI job, a script) can compile the
+SwiftBrowser package once for all of them: set `SWIFTBROWSER_BUILD_ROOT` to a
+directory, and every app is staged at `<root>/<Name>/` and built with one
+SwiftPM scratch path, `<root>/.build`. After the first app, a `check` takes a
+few seconds instead of compiling the shim natively again. SwiftPM recompiles a
+dependency when the staging package's parent directory changes, which is why
+apps staged in their own projects cannot share it. One build at a time per
+root (SwiftPM locks the scratch path), and two apps with the same name take
+turns in the same staging directory.

+`packages` adds Swift packages to the ones the Xcode target links: the only
+way a plain folder of sources depends on one. Each has a `url` with one rule
+(`from`: up to the next major version, `exact`, `branch` or `revision`), or
+a local `path` (relative to the project), and the `products` the app
+imports. They are built as described in "Swift packages".
+
+`corsProxy` (or `--cors-proxy <url>` on `dev` and `build`) names a CORS proxy:
+the page retries a cross-origin GET or HEAD the browser refused (the server
+does not allow the page's origin, as image servers often don't) through
+`<corsProxy>?url=<target>`. The proxy is a small Cloudflare Worker you deploy
+yourself ([packages/cors-proxy](https://github.com/noya-app/SwiftBrowser/tree/main/packages/cors-proxy));
+it is meant for screenshots and demos.
+
+`blockHosts` (or `--block-host <host>`, repeatable) makes the app's requests
+to those hosts and their subdomains fail as if offline, without leaving the
+page. It is for a public deploy of an app whose analytics or other services
+belong to someone else, such as Ice Cubes' TelemetryDeck signals.
+
+A module larger than 24 MiB (Cloudflare Pages takes files up to 25 MiB) is
+published as `<App>.wasm.0`, `.1`… with a `<App>.wasm.parts.json` manifest,
+and the page joins the parts before compiling (so does `scripts/run-wasi.mjs`,
+given `<App>.wasm`). Unoptimized builds (`--no-optimize`) are often this
+large.
+
+On Linux, Binaryen's release `wasm-opt` is linked against musl, whose threads
+get 128 KiB stacks; a large module overflows them. The CLI runs a copy (made
+once, in its cache) whose program header asks musl for 8 MiB thread stacks,
+so `wasm-opt` uses every core: 106 s for Ice Cubes on four, where one thread
+took 300 s, for the same module byte for byte (src/threadStacks.ts). If it
+still crashes, the CLI runs it again on one thread with a large stack.
+
+The app target's language mode (`SWIFT_VERSION`) and concurrency settings come
+from the Xcode project as well: `SWIFT_DEFAULT_ACTOR_ISOLATION = MainActor`
+becomes `.defaultIsolation(MainActor.self)` in the staged package, and
+`SWIFT_APPROACHABLE_CONCURRENCY` and each `SWIFT_UPCOMING_FEATURE_…` its
+upcoming features (those the language mode does not have already), so an app
+written against Xcode 26's main-actor default compiles as it does in Xcode.
 
 ## Frameworks
 
-Supported: SwiftUI (the shim's compatibility matrix is in the repository
-README), Observation, Swift Charts, Foundation (full mode), FoundationEssentials
-and FoundationLite (lean mode).
-`check` names the frameworks it knows have no browser counterpart yet (UIKit,
-SwiftData, Core Data, Combine, MapKit, Core ML, AVFoundation, UserNotifications,
-StoreKit, WidgetKit, PhotosUI, WebKit, …) with the usual way out: keep that code
-behind `#if !SWIFTBROWSER` and give the browser a stand-in behind `#if SWIFTBROWSER`.
+Supported: SwiftUI (see the shim's
+[compatibility matrix](https://github.com/noya-app/SwiftBrowser/blob/main/docs/compatibility.md)), Observation, Swift Charts, Foundation, networking (`URLSession`,
+`URLRequest`, `HTTPURLResponse`, `URLError` and `AsyncImage` run over the
+browser's `fetch`, so the servers an app talks to must allow its origin, CORS),
+and SwiftData: `@Model`, `ModelContainer`, `ModelContext`, `@Query`,
+`#Predicate`, relationships with their delete rules, autosave. The models live
+in memory while the app runs and the page keeps them in IndexedDB, one database
+per app (`sb-swiftdata:<App>`); `?swiftdata=reset` on the app's URL starts it
+with no data. An app that imports SwiftData also builds SwiftData's macros,
+which need swift-syntax: SwiftPM fetches it on the first build and uses its
+prebuilt release where swift.org publishes one (Swift 6.4 on Linux and macOS),
+else compiles it once (several minutes).
+Files an app writes in its home (`URL.documentsDirectory` and the other
+iOS directories, through `Data`, `String` or `FileManager`) are kept the same
+way, in `sb-files:<App>`; `?files=reset` starts with none.
+`check` names the frameworks it knows have no browser counterpart yet (Core
+Data, WidgetKit, Metal, …) with the usual way out: keep that code
+behind `#if !SWIFTBROWSER` and give the browser a stand-in behind
+`#if SWIFTBROWSER`.
+The frameworks under SwiftUI that libraries build on are there, as far as
+image and utility code uses them: UIKit's `UIImage`, `UIColor` and
+`UIScreen` (its view classes exist so that code declaring UIKit views
+compiles; none can be shown), Core Graphics contexts that draw, scale and
+clip images, Image I/O sources, Combine (OpenCombine), CryptoKit's hashes and
+os's locks and logs. AVKit and AVFoundation are empty: an unused import
+compiles, and `check` warns about it. With them, real packages such as
+[Nuke](https://github.com/kean/Nuke) build from their own sources.
+StoreKit, Core Location and LocalAuthentication import fine, as far as apps
+usually use them: `requestReview` does nothing, `CLLocationCoordinate2D` is a
+plain struct (`CLLocation` measures distances), and an `LAContext` evaluation
+always succeeds. MapKit's SwiftUI
+`Map` draws its region without map data: a plain surface with latitude and
+longitude lines, with its annotations, markers and overlays where they are on
+it; `MapReader` converts a tap's location to a coordinate. It does not pan or
+zoom. UIKit's `MKMapView` draws the same map at its camera. WeatherKit's
+requests throw `WeatherError.permissionDenied` (Apple's service answers only
+apps signed with the capability), and passkey and password requests
+(`ASAuthorizationController`, SwiftUI's `AuthorizationController`) end in
+`ASAuthorizationError.notHandled`, so an app takes its own fallback. PhotosUI's
+`PhotosPicker` opens the browser's file chooser, and the picked files' bytes
+load with `loadTransferable(type: Data.self)`. Core Image
+(`import CoreImage`, or `import CoreImage.CIFilterBuiltins`, which the staging
+turns into `import CoreImage`) has its common built-in filters and the QR code
+generator, drawn by the page; `UIImage` and `CGImage` come with SwiftUI, as on
+iOS. UserNotifications runs over the browser's Notification API: the app asks
+for permission with the browser's prompt, schedules its requests with timers of
+its own and the page shows each one as it comes due. Notifications are
+delivered only while the page is open (a closed tab delivers nothing), and
+Safari on iPhone shows them only for an app added to the Home Screen.
+
+### Core ML
+
+The target's Core ML models (`.mlmodel` files and `.mlpackage` bundles in its
+Sources phase or synchronized folders; in a plain folder, every one found, or
+those `"sources"` names) compile into the classes Xcode generates for them:
+`SleepCalculator.mlmodel` becomes `SleepCalculator`, `SleepCalculatorInput`
+and `SleepCalculatorOutput`, with `init(configuration:)`,
+`prediction(wake:estimatedSleep:coffee:)` (each input typed as Xcode types
+it), `prediction(input:)`, `predictions(inputs:)`, the `load` functions,
+`model` and `urlOfModelInThisBundle`. The CLI reads the model's protobuf and
+embeds its specification in the class; the shim's `CoreML` module evaluates
+it (`MLModel`, `MLFeatureValue`, `MLMultiArray`, `MLDictionaryFeatureProvider`
+and friends). That covers what Create ML makes from tables: linear and
+logistic regression, boosted trees, random forests and decision trees, and
+the one-hot encoders, imputers, normalizers, scalers and vectorizers around
+them. Any other model (a neural network, an ML program, an image, sound or
+text model) stops the build with its type named, for example
+`Classifier.mlmodel: the model is a neural network (neuralNetwork), which the
+browser cannot run`. `dev` rebuilds when a Swift file changes; a retrained model
+is picked up by the next rebuild.
+
+## Swift packages
+
+The Xcode target's package dependencies (File › Add Package Dependencies)
+are added to the staging package: each remote package with the version rule
+Xcode records (up to next major or minor, exact, a range, a branch or a
+revision), each local package by path. SwiftPM fetches and builds them for
+the browser with the app, so a pure-Swift package works if it builds for
+WASI.
+
+A package that imports SwiftUI (or Charts, SwiftData, or another framework
+SwiftBrowser stands in for) is built against the shim, from a copy under
+`.swiftbrowser/<Name>/Packages/`: its sources get the same adjustments as
+the app's, and lines appended to its manifest link the shim's modules to the
+targets that import them and define `SWIFTBROWSER`. A package that depends
+on such a package, directly or not, is copied too and pointed at the copy.
+Your package folders and SwiftPM's checkouts are never written to.
+
+A package that cannot work in the browser and that SwiftBrowser knows is
+replaced by a module of the same name instead, and never fetched (when one of
+your packages depends on it, that package gets the stand-in too). Today
+there are none.
+[WrappingHStack](https://github.com/dkk/WrappingHStack) builds from its own
+sources: it measures its items with `UIHostingController`, whose
+`sizeThatFits(in:)` answers from the page's measurements a render later.
+[CodeScanner](https://github.com/twostraws/CodeScanner) builds from its own
+sources over AVFoundation's capture sessions: it scans with the camera where
+the browser has `BarcodeDetector` (Chrome on Android and macOS) and asks
+for the code's text elsewhere. `check` lists each package and which way it

+A package's `type: .dynamic` libraries are built as automatic ones (the
+browser build is one module), so Apple's Backyard Birds sample builds with
+its three local packages as they are:
+
+```sh
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/apple/sample-backyard-birds
+npx @swiftbrowser/cli dev sample-backyard-birds --target "Backyard Birds"
+```
+
+Apple's Food Truck sample builds as it is too:
+
+```sh
+git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/apple/sample-food-truck
+npx @swiftbrowser/cli dev sample-food-truck --target "Food Truck"
+```
+
+A package SwiftBrowser has a patch for is built from its own sources with
+a few passages replaced first: code that only works with the Objective-C
+runtime and no general adjustment can take. Today that is
+[RevenueCat](https://github.com/RevenueCat/purchases-ios-spm), patched for
+5.92.0 (packages/cli/src/packagePatches.ts). The patch names each passage
+exactly; when the version SwiftPM resolves no longer has one, the build stops
+and says which, and the package has to be pinned to the release the patch
+was written for (or the patch updated).
+
+A package that needs a framework the browser has no counterpart for (Core
+Data, Metal, a UIKit view on screen…) fails to compile with an error naming
+it; keep its uses behind `#if !SWIFTBROWSER` in your own packages. Images a
+package downloads itself (Nuke does, with `URLSession`) go through the
+browser's `fetch`, so their host must allow CORS. The SwiftUI it uses is held
+to the same [compatibility](../../docs/compatibility.md) as an app's.
 
 ## Example
 
-Twelve of the nineteen "Hacking with SwiftUI" projects run from their Xcode
-projects without a change (WeSplit, Guess the Flag, Views and Modifiers,
-WordScramble, Animations, iExpense, Moonshot, Navigation, Accessibility,
-Flashzilla, Layout and Geometry, SnowSeeker); `check` names what stops each
-of the others, which all need a framework the browser has no counterpart for
-yet (Core ML, URLSession, SwiftData, Core Image, MapKit):
