Forced tool_choice ("any"/"required") makes both Anthropic and OpenAI
skip any text/thinking block before the tool call, which silently made
rationale and thinking always None despite the planner-reflection-history
change's capture code being correct. Switch the primary call to
tool_choice="auto" (Anthropic: type=auto, disable_parallel_tool_use=true;
OpenAI: "auto") so the model can emit its reflection text, and add a
one-time forced retry (Anthropic "any", OpenAI "required", thinking
disabled) if the model responds without a tool call, guaranteeing a step
never stalls. Also add OpenAI text_output capture from message.content,
which was never extracted before (Anthropic-only gap).
Update planner-reflection-history design.md/tasks.md to document the bug
found during the pending manual smoke test (task 8.5) and the fix (new
section 9).
Device Agent Runtime
Device Agent Runtime is a device-agnostic runtime for LLM-driven automation. It gives agents a stable way to observe, decide, and act against real devices through a small set of domain models, driver contracts, tools, perception providers, and runtime orchestration.
iPhone automation through WebDriverAgent/Appium is the first driver, not the platform boundary. Future drivers can target Android, browsers, desktop environments, or other device surfaces without changing the runtime's core contracts.
Current Shape

Python Workspace
The repository uses a uv workspace with one committed lockfile. From the repository root, synchronize every Python member with:
uv sync --locked --all-packages
Run the complete local test suite in a workspace environment:
uv run --all-packages pytest -m "not integration"
Select one member when running package-specific commands:
uv run --package device-agent-runtime python -c "import runtime"
uv run --package device-cloud-platform python -c "import cloud"
uv run --package device-cloud-api device-cloud-api --help
uv run --package device-host-agent device-host-agent --help
uv build --package device-agent-runtime
uv build --package device-cloud-platform
Runtime is an in-process execution library, not a standalone HTTP service. The
Host Agent console at http://127.0.0.1:8765/tasks is the authenticated
operator view for the tasks that actually execute on that Host, including
per-step screenshots, OCR observations, and UI-tree results. The Cloud Console
remains the fleet-level view for dispatch status and Cloud-proxy planner history.
Project Direction
The durable roadmap is in docs/ROADMAP.md. The architecture invariants future changes must preserve are in docs/CONSTITUTION.md.
Operator Guides
- Cloud Control Plane deployment: run local SQLite or deployed PostgreSQL, configure credentials and Runtime AI planning, and perform orderly shutdown or rollback.
- macOS migration and real iPhone setup: install Xcode, Appium/XCUITest, sign WebDriverAgent, verify a real device, and run a connected Host Agent.
