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

• core/: shared domain models and runtime errors.
• driver/: the Driver contract, concrete driver adapters, and driver-type registry.
• device/: device lifecycle and active driver management.
• tools/: device capabilities exposed to runtime and API layers.
• perception/: screen-to-Scene perception behind PerceptionProvider.
• runtime/: planning and execution orchestration.
• api/: REST/MCP transport adapters.
• storage/: timeline, task, and device configuration persistence.
• packages/cloud-platform/: cloud scheduling, device pooling, plugins, and the Python cloud SDK as the device-cloud-platform workspace member.
• apps/cloud-api/: deployable authenticated Cloud Control Plane with PostgreSQL/SQLite persistence, scheduling, leases, and health endpoints.
• apps/device-host-agent/: outbound Host Agent that synchronizes configured devices and executes leased tasks through the existing Runtime/workflow.

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

The Vue/Vite application under console/ remains an independent npm project; uv does not install or modify its JavaScript dependencies.

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 start a connected Runtime API.
