 - `npx rn-iso start` — start Metro detached on the project's assigned port WITHOUT building/installing. Useful to keep Metro alive across builds.
 - `npx rn-iso stop [<port>|<shortcut>|<path>]` — kill Metro. No arg = current project. Passing a port (e.g. `8083`) kills whatever is on it; a project shortcut (label or unique basename) or absolute path targets that project. Finds the process by port, so it works whether Metro was started by `npx rn-iso start` or by the build CLI.
 - `npx rn-iso release [<port>|<shortcut>|<path>] [--platform <p>] [--shutdown]` — free a project's sim assignment. Defaults to the current project. Target can also be a Metro port (`8083`) or a shortcut (label / unique basename). `--shutdown` also stops the sim/emulator.
+- `npx rn-iso shutdown [<shortcut>|<path>] [-y] [--keep-sims]` — kill Metro, shut down sims/emulators, and clear device assignments. With no arg, scopes to **every** registered project (end-of-day reset); pass a project shortcut (label or unique basename) or absolute path to scope to one. Note this does NOT default to the current project (deliberate — `shutdown` is the explicit "tear it all down" command). Prompts unless `-y` / non-TTY; `--keep-sims` only kills Metro and clears assignments without touching the sims. Project entries themselves stay registered, so `metroPort` allocations and labels survive.
 - `npx rn-iso config [<key> [<value>]] [--unset] [--project <target>]` — persist per-project settings. Allowed keys: `packageManager` (npm|yarn|pnpm|bun), `ios.script`, `android.script`. Resolution order on `ios`/`android`: CLI flag > stored setting > inferred default.

-When the Android picker fires, AVDs are sorted by running state (running emulators first), then alphabetically.
+When the Android picker fires, candidates include both AVDs on disk and physical devices currently visible to `adb`. They are sorted by running state (running emulators and connected physical devices first), then physical above AVDs within the same running group, then alphabetically. Physical devices show with a `[physical]` tag. Once selected, a physical device is claimed by serial just like an AVD; `release` clears the claim but never shuts the device down.
 
 Sims/AVDs claimed by other rn-iso projects show in yellow with a `[claimed by ...]` tag. They're selectable but require a confirm prompt before being taken over.
