 ## CRITICAL rules
 
 - **Pass `--auto` for non-interactive use** of `ios` or `android`. Without it, the command will prompt with an arrow-key picker if multiple unclaimed sims/AVDs exist. `--auto` is also implied automatically when stdin isn't a TTY (e.g., when an agent pipes the command), so under most agent harnesses you don't have to remember the flag — but passing it explicitly is harmless and clearer.
-- **Forward extra flags to the build CLI with `--`.** `npx rn-iso ios -- --variant=release` (or `android -- --mode=diaRelease`) appends those flags to the underlying `react-native run-*` / `expo run:*` invocation. Useful for release-mode builds, custom terminals, etc. Last-wins semantics, so extras can override defaults rn-iso set earlier in the command.

Useful for release-mode builds, custom terminals, etc. Last-wins semantics, so extras can override defaults rn-iso set earlier in the command. `start` accepts the same `--` extras and forwards them to `expo start` / `react-native start` — e.g. `npx rn-iso start -- --reset-cache`. If Metro is already running, extras are not applied (run `rn-iso stop` first and re-run).
 - **`--auto` will NOT take over a claimed sim/AVD.** If every device is claimed by other rn-iso projects, `--auto` errors. To take one over, run the command interactively (no `--auto`, with a real TTY) and confirm at the prompt — only do this if the user explicitly asks.
 - **Always use `npx rn-iso device` to discover your target.** Never assume `booted` is your sim — another project's simulator might be booted too.
 - **Always pass the UDID/serial explicitly** to `xcrun simctl` and `adb -s`. Examples:

 ## Other useful commands
 
 - `npx rn-iso status` — show all projects, their assignments, and Metro state.
-- `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 start [-- <extras...>]` — start Metro detached on the project's assigned port WITHOUT building/installing. Useful to keep Metro alive across builds. Extras after `--` are forwarded to `expo start` / `react-native start` (e.g. `--reset-cache`).
 - `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.
