iOS port M2: iOS app skeleton — onboarding, Citadel wrapper, Keychain, Dashboard

First iOS phase. Delivers all the code needed to build + TestFlight a
functional v1 iOS app (onboarding with SSH-key generate / import +
real Citadel-backed connection test; persistent Keychain key +
UserDefaults server config; placeholder Dashboard) — but NOT the
scarf-ios.xcodeproj. Creating that from scratch by hand is too risky
without an iOS SDK to build against, so Alan creates it in Xcode's UI
following scarf/scarf-ios/SETUP.md (~5 minutes, one-time).

## ScarfCore additions (all Linux-testable)

Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Security/:
  - SSHKey.swift         — SSHKeyBundle + SSHKeyStore protocol
                            + InMemorySSHKeyStore test actor
  - IOSServerConfig.swift — IOSServerConfig + store protocol + mock;
                            toServerContext(id:) bridges to the
                            existing ServerContext so all ScarfCore
                            services work against an iOS config
  - OnboardingState.swift — OnboardingStep enum + pure validators
                            (host, port, PEM shape, public-key parse)
  - SSHConnectionTester.swift — protocol + error enum + mock
  - OnboardingViewModel.swift — @Observable @MainActor state machine,
                            fully dependency-injected (key store /
                            config store / tester / generator closure)

## New Packages/ScarfIOS local SPM package

Depends on ScarfCore + Citadel (from: "0.7.0").

  - KeychainSSHKeyStore.swift    — real iOS Keychain storage
    (kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly, no iCloud
     sync). Gated on canImport(Security) for Linux skip.
  - UserDefaultsIOSServerConfigStore.swift — JSON-encoded single-key
    persistence of IOSServerConfig.
  - Ed25519KeyGenerator.swift    — CryptoKit-backed Ed25519 minting.
    Emits standard OpenSSH public-key lines (authorized_keys-ready).
    Stores the private half in a compact SCARF ED25519 PRIVATE KEY
    PEM shape that CitadelSSHService decodes back into a
    Curve25519.Signing.PrivateKey. Non-interop with OpenSSH's
    `BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY` envelope — export flow for sharing
    keys is deferred to a later phase.
  - CitadelSSHService.swift      — SSHConnectionTester conformance +
    key-generation wrapper. Runs `echo scarf-ok` over a one-shot
    Citadel exec for the onboarding connection test. One FIXME on
    buildClientSettings because Citadel 0.7→0.9 shifted the
    `.ed25519(...)` authentication-method variant name; every other
    line is Citadel-version-independent. Gated on
    canImport(Citadel) && canImport(CryptoKit).

## scarf/scarf-ios/ app source tree

  - App/ScarfIOSApp.swift         — @main, RootModel routes to
                                    onboarding or dashboard based on
                                    stored state.
  - Onboarding/OnboardingRootView.swift — 8 sub-views, one per
                                    OnboardingStep. Validated
                                    server-details form, key-source
                                    picker, generate / show-public
                                    / import / test / retry /
                                    connected.
  - Dashboard/DashboardView.swift — M2 placeholder: connected host
                                    details + Disconnect button.
                                    M3 replaces with real data.

## scarf/scarf-ios/SETUP.md

Step-by-step Xcode project creation:
  - iOS 18 / iPhone-only / team 3Q6X2L86C4 / Bundle ID
    com.scarf.scarf-ios / Swift 5 language mode.
  - Wire Packages/ScarfCore + Packages/ScarfIOS (Citadel resolves
    transitively).
  - Replace Xcode's default scaffolded files with this source tree.
  - Smoke-test procedure (simulator → physical iPhone).
  - TestFlight upload steps.
  - Troubleshooting for the known Citadel-variant-name drift.

## Test coverage (Linux, `swift test`)

M2OnboardingTests, 26 new tests (ScarfCore):
  - SSHKeyBundle memberwise + display fingerprint
  - InMemorySSHKeyStore + InMemoryIOSServerConfigStore round-trips
  - IOSServerConfig.toServerContext bridging (with + without
    remoteHome override)
  - All OnboardingLogic validators (empty / whitespace / port range /
    legacy-RSA rejection / public-key line parser)
  - MockSSHConnectionTester scripting (success + failure)
  - 10 OnboardingViewModel end-to-end paths: happy-path
    save-and-test, invalid-host blocks advance, connection-failure
    routes to .testFailed (and crucially does NOT save config),
    retry-after-failure-works, import-happy, import-rejects-bad-PEM,
    reset clears all state

ScarfIOSSmokeTests, 3 tests (Apple-only, won't run on Linux):
  - Ed25519KeyGenerator bundle shape + base64 wire format
  - OpenSSH public-key line byte-length pinned at 51 bytes
  - Corrupted PEM rejection on round-trip decode

Running
  docker run --rm -v $PWD/scarf/Packages/ScarfCore:/work -w /work swift:6.0 swift test
reports **88 / 88 passing** (62 pre-M2 + 26 new).

## Real bug caught in development

First pass of OnboardingViewModel had `confirmPublicKeyAdded()` set
`isWorking=true`, then call `runConnectionTest()` which bailed on
`!isWorking` — meaning the connection probe never ran and the config
was never saved. Caught by the end-to-end test. Fixed by extracting
the shared probe body into `performConnectionTest()` and letting
both entry points own their own `isWorking` transition.

## Manual validation still needed on Mac

1. Xcode project creation per SETUP.md — confirm the resulting
   project builds cleanly.
2. Citadel 0.9.x authentication-method variant — verify the one
   FIXME line in buildClientSettings.
3. End-to-end onboarding: simulator against `localhost:22` (or a
   test host), then TestFlight → physical iPhone → real SSH host
   with the shown public key in authorized_keys.

Updated scarf/docs/IOS_PORT_PLAN.md with M2's shipped scope, the
scope decision about NOT generating the xcodeproj, and the list of
rules M3+ can rely on (Citadel transport dispatch, ChannelFactory
hook, single-server invariant).

@@ -454,8 +454,106 @@ Two real regressions caught by a pre-M1 audit, both silent:
 - **The `ChannelFactory` closure is `@Sendable` and async.** Any per-context setup (env enrichment, SSH handshake) happens inside the factory — not inside `ACPClient.start()`. That keeps `start()` boring and portable.
 - **`ACPClient` does not handle subprocess spontaneous exits via `terminationHandler`** anymore — it notices via channel-stream EOF. Pipe-EOF fires reliably when a Mac subprocess exits (OS closes the pipe). If a future phase sees "session hangs after crash" symptoms, add a `terminationHandler` inside `ProcessACPChannel` that explicitly finishes the `incoming` continuation.
 
-### M2 — pending
+### M2 — shipped (on `claude/ios-m2-skeleton` branch, separate PR from M0+M1)
-### M2 — pending
+
+**Scope note:** M2 delivers all the **code** needed for TestFlight
+(onboarding, Keychain, Citadel, Dashboard placeholder, unit tests) but
+**not** the `scarf-ios.xcodeproj`. Hand-editing ~600 lines of pbxproj
+from scratch is too high-risk without an iOS SDK to build against, so
+the Xcode target is created once in Xcode's UI following the written
+instructions in `scarf/scarf-ios/SETUP.md`. Total setup time: ~5
+minutes.
+
+**Shipped — ScarfCore additions (testable on Linux):**
+
+- `Security/SSHKey.swift` — `SSHKeyBundle` struct, `SSHKeyStore`
+  protocol, `InMemorySSHKeyStore` test actor.
+- `Security/IOSServerConfig.swift` — `IOSServerConfig` struct
+  (single-server v1), `IOSServerConfigStore` protocol,
+  `InMemoryIOSServerConfigStore`. `toServerContext(id:)` bridges to
+  the existing `ServerContext` type so the rest of ScarfCore's
+  services work against an iOS-configured server unchanged.
+- `Security/OnboardingState.swift` — `OnboardingStep` enum,
+  `OnboardingKeyChoice`, `OnboardingServerDetailsValidation`, pure
+  functions `OnboardingLogic.validateServerDetails` /
+  `authorizedKeysLine(for:)` / `isLikelyValidOpenSSHPrivateKey` /
+  `parseOpenSSHPublicKeyLine`.
+- `Security/SSHConnectionTester.swift` — protocol +
+  `SSHConnectionTestError` enum + `MockSSHConnectionTester`.
+- `Security/OnboardingViewModel.swift` — `@Observable @MainActor`
+  state machine. Dependency-injects `SSHKeyStore`,
+  `IOSServerConfigStore`, `SSHConnectionTester`, and a `KeyGenerator`
+  closure so every transition is testable with mocks.
+
+**Shipped — new `Packages/ScarfIOS` local SPM package:**
+
+- Depends on local ScarfCore + remote Citadel (`from: "0.7.0"`).
+- `KeychainSSHKeyStore.swift` — real iOS Keychain impl
+  (`kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly`, no iCloud sync).
+- `UserDefaultsIOSServerConfigStore.swift` — JSON in UserDefaults.
+- `Ed25519KeyGenerator.swift` — mints fresh Ed25519 keypairs via
+  CryptoKit, emits standard OpenSSH public-key lines, stores the
+  private half in a compact custom PEM that
+  `CitadelSSHService` decodes back into
+  `Curve25519.Signing.PrivateKey`.
+- `CitadelSSHService.swift` — `SSHConnectionTester` conformance +
+  key-generation wrapper. Runs a one-shot SSH exec (`echo scarf-ok`)
+  for the onboarding probe. Clearly-marked FIXME on the Citadel
+  authentication-method call site because 0.7→0.9 has shifted the
+  variant name; other than that one line, everything is
+  Citadel-version-independent.
+
+**Shipped — `scarf/scarf-ios/` iOS app source tree:**
+
+- `App/ScarfIOSApp.swift` — `@main` + `RootModel` routing to
+  onboarding / dashboard based on stored state.
+- `Onboarding/OnboardingRootView.swift` — 8 sub-views, one per
+  `OnboardingStep`. Validated server-details form, key-source
+  picker, generate / show / import / test / retry / connected.
+- `Dashboard/DashboardView.swift` — M2 placeholder: connected
+  server details + Disconnect. M3 replaces with real data.
+
+**Shipped — `scarf/scarf-ios/SETUP.md`:**
+
+Step-by-step Xcode project creation + troubleshooting. Alan runs
+this once on a Mac (~5 minutes).
+
+**Test coverage:**
+
+- **ScarfCore (Linux):** 26 new tests covering key-bundle memberwise,
+  both in-memory stores, config-to-ServerContext bridging, all
+  `OnboardingLogic` validators (empty / whitespace / port range /
+  legacy-RSA rejection), mock tester, and 10 end-to-end
+  `OnboardingViewModel` paths (happy, bad import,
+  connection-failure → retry-success, reset).
+- **ScarfIOS (Apple-only):** 3 smoke tests for the Ed25519 generator,
+  OpenSSH public-key wire format (byte-length pinned at 51), and
+  corrupted-PEM rejection on round-trip decode.
+
+Total: **88 passing on Linux** (62 pre-M2 + 26 new). Apple CI adds
+the 3 ScarfIOS tests.
+
+**Manual validation needed on Mac:**
+
+1. Xcode project creation per SETUP.md.
+2. Citadel 0.9.x `SSHAuthenticationMethod.ed25519(...)` variant name
+   — verify and fix if it's been renamed.
+3. Onboarding end-to-end: simulator → physical iPhone via TestFlight
+   → real SSH host with the public key added to `authorized_keys`.
+
+**Rules next phases can rely on:**
+
+- **M3** adds a Citadel-backed `ServerTransport` in ScarfIOS; iOS
+  `IOSServerConfig.toServerContext(...).makeTransport()` dispatches to
+  it automatically.
+- **M4** adds `SSHExecACPChannel` in ScarfIOS; iOS wires the
+  `ACPClient.ChannelFactory` hook (from M1) to produce it — sibling
+  to Mac's `ACPClient+Mac.swift`.
+- iOS is single-server in v1 — don't prematurely generalize the
+  onboarding flow.
+- Source tree stays **pure SwiftUI + Foundation + ScarfCore + ScarfIOS**;
+  `#if canImport(UIKit)` fine for pasteboard but keep it minimal.

+This folder contains the source tree for the iOS app (`scarf-ios`), but
+**not** the Xcode project file. Creating the `.xcodeproj` is a one-time
+step you do in Xcode's UI — it's about 5 minutes, and doing it by hand
+produces a project file that's definitely correct for whichever Xcode
+version you're running, rather than a hand-edited pbxproj that might
+drift from Xcode's expectations.
+
+Everything the app needs — SSH key generation, Keychain storage,
+onboarding state machine, Citadel-backed connection testing — already
+lives in the shared SPM packages (`Packages/ScarfCore`,
+`Packages/ScarfIOS`) and is exercised by 88 passing unit tests on
+Linux CI. The Xcode target is mostly just a wrapper that assembles
+those packages behind a `@main` SwiftUI app.
+
+## One-time: create the Xcode target
+
+1. Open **Xcode** → **File → New → Project…**
+2. Choose **iOS → App**. Click Next.
+3. Fill in:
+   - **Product Name**: `scarf-ios`
+   - **Team**: `3Q6X2L86C4` (the same team the Mac app uses for notarization)
+   - **Organization Identifier**: `com.scarf`
+   - **Interface**: **SwiftUI**
+   - **Language**: **Swift**
+   - **Storage**: **None** (no Core Data, no CloudKit)
+   - **Include Tests**: unchecked (SPM covers them)
+4. On the save-location sheet, navigate to `<repo>/scarf/` (the same
+   level as `scarf.xcodeproj`) and hit **Create**.
+5. Xcode produces `<repo>/scarf/scarf-ios/scarf-ios.xcodeproj` and a
+   default source tree you'll immediately throw away.
+
+## One-time: set project settings
+
+In the **scarf-ios** project (target of the same name):
+
+1. **General → Minimum Deployments → iPhone**: `iOS 18.0`.
+2. **General → Supported Destinations**: keep **iPhone** only. Remove
+   iPad + Mac Catalyst + Vision.
+3. **Info → Bundle Identifier**: `com.scarf.scarf-ios`.
+4. **Signing & Capabilities → Team**: `3Q6X2L86C4` (same as Mac).
+5. **Build Settings → Swift Language Version**: `Swift 5` (matches
+   the Mac app and both SPM packages).
+
+## One-time: wire the SPM packages
+
+1. **File → Add Package Dependencies…**
+2. **Add Local…** button in the lower-left of the dialog.
+3. Select `<repo>/scarf/Packages/ScarfCore`. Click **Add Package**.
+4. Target to attach it to: **scarf-ios**. Click **Add Package**.
+5. Repeat steps 1–4 for `<repo>/scarf/Packages/ScarfIOS`.
+   - `ScarfIOS` already declares `Citadel` as a dependency — Xcode
+     will resolve it automatically when you add the local package.
+   - On first resolution expect a ~30s wait while Citadel +
+     SwiftNIO-SSH fetch from GitHub.
+
+## One-time: replace the default source tree
+
+1. In Xcode's Project Navigator, delete the auto-generated files
+   Xcode created for you:
+   - `scarf_iosApp.swift` (or `scarf-iosApp.swift`)
+   - `ContentView.swift`
+   - `Assets.xcassets` (keep this one — we'll reuse)
+2. In Finder, open `<repo>/scarf/scarf-ios/`. Drag the **App/**,
+   **Onboarding/**, and **Dashboard/** folders onto the `scarf-ios`
+   target in Xcode's navigator.
+   - In the import sheet: **Create groups**, **Add to target:
+     scarf-ios**.
+3. Build (`⌘B`). It should compile cleanly. If Citadel's
+   authentication-method variant has changed since I wrote
+   `CitadelSSHService`, adjust `buildClientSettings(...)` — see the
+   FIXME comment in that file.
+
+## One-time: app icon + accent color
+
+The `Assets.xcassets` that Xcode scaffolded already has a blank
+`AppIcon` and `AccentColor`. Drop your icon asset + pick an accent
+color in the Inspector. Nothing else to configure.
+
+## Info.plist additions for M2
+
+None required. Citadel uses SwiftNIO, which doesn't need the
+network-usage `Info.plist` key unless you hit local-network
+discovery — which onboarding doesn't.
+
+If you want to publish to TestFlight in M2, add these under
+**Info → Custom iOS Target Properties**:
+
+- `LSRequiresIPhoneOS = YES` (defaults to YES, usually already set)
+- `UIApplicationSceneManifest → UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes = NO`
+  (single-window for iPhone)
+- `UILaunchScreen` — empty dictionary is fine.
+
+## Smoke test the target
+
+1. Pick an iPhone simulator (any iPhone running iOS 18+) and hit ⌘R.
+2. You should see the onboarding flow: **Remote host** form → **SSH
+   key** choice → **Generate** → **Show public key** → …
+3. On **Show public key**, the OpenSSH line is selectable and
+   copy-able. The text renders as `ssh-ed25519 AAAA… scarf-iphone-XXXX`.
+4. Tap **I've added this key**. Onboarding calls `CitadelSSHService`
+   to connect. With no real server, this will fail with
+   `.hostUnreachable` — that's expected. You should land on the
+   **Connection failed** screen with a "Retry" button.
+5. Real end-to-end test: use a host you actually own, copy the shown
+   public key into its `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, tap Retry. You
+   should reach the **Connected** state and then the placeholder
+   **Dashboard** with a Disconnect button.
+
+## TestFlight (still M2 — optional)
+
+1. **Product → Archive** (select a physical iPhone or "Any iOS
+   Device (arm64)" as the target).
+2. **Window → Organizer → Archives → Distribute App → App Store
+   Connect → Upload**. Uses your existing team signing setup.
+3. First upload will trigger App Store Connect to create the app
+   record if it doesn't exist. Give it `com.scarf.scarf-ios` and
+   the same team.
+4. After processing, invite testers from App Store Connect.
+
+## What's *not* in M2
+
+- Dashboard data (sessions, messages, stats) — **M3** adds a
+  Citadel-backed `ServerTransport` so `HermesDataService` and friends
+  work over SSH from iOS.
+- Chat — **M4** adds an `SSHExecACPChannel` (the iOS counterpart to
+  `ProcessACPChannel`) so `ACPClient` runs over a Citadel exec
+  session.
+- Memory editing, Cron, Skills, Settings — **M5**.
+- Polish, App Store submission — **M6**.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Citadel fails to resolve.** Delete derived data (`~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/scarf-ios-*`)
+and `File → Packages → Reset Package Caches`, then rebuild.
+
+**`SSHAuthenticationMethod` has no member `ed25519`.** Citadel's
+private-key auth has changed variant names between 0.7 and 0.9. See
+`CitadelSSHService.buildClientSettings(...)` — there's one line to
+update. Keep the protocol conformance intact.
+
+**Keychain reads empty after relaunch.** Check that you haven't
+accidentally set `kSecAttrAccessible` to a value that requires
+biometric unlock — M2 uses `AfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly` which
+should always be readable.
+
+**The shown public-key line doesn't match what OpenSSH generates
+from the private key.** It won't — `scarf-ios` uses a compact
+internal PEM shape for the private key (see `Ed25519KeyGenerator`
+for the format). The **public** key is standard OpenSSH wire format
+and is interop-safe with `authorized_keys`. If you want to export
+the private key for use with `ssh`, that export flow is deferred
+to a future phase.
