Relates to ARC-556.

Overview of Changes

Adds session, contexts, page-source and elements arms to qawolf runner inspect, alongside the existing browser-only element-html/page-html/variable arms. These call the platform's separate runner.inspectMobile contract (qawolf/platform#31758) rather than extending runner.inspect — the two answer unrelated requests (browser HTML/variables vs. an Appium session's status, WebView contexts, page source, or elements by point/text).

$ qawolf runner inspect session
$ qawolf runner inspect contexts
$ qawolf runner inspect page-source --context WEBVIEW_1
$ qawolf runner inspect elements --by point --x 200 --y 400
$ qawolf runner inspect elements --by text --text "Sign in" --partial

act now handles action-not-supported-on-mobile for double_click, scroll, move, keypress, navigate, and a click whose --button isn't left — none have a touchscreen equivalent.

skills/qawolf-cli/references/runner.md and SKILL.md are updated/regenerated.

Depends on the ARC-556 platform stack (qawolf/platform#31741, qawolf/platform#31758, qawolf/platform#31759) publishing runner.inspectMobile and the runner-is-not-a-browser refusal, plus a follow-up chore(deps): bump api-contracts PR once published.

CI on this PR is expected to fail typecheck/lint on src/domains/interactiveRunner/inspectMobile.ts, src/core/interactiveRunner/inspectMobileRequest.ts, and the new case in performAction.ts — they reference contract members api-contracts doesn't publish yet. Everything else (format:check, knip, naming check, full test suite) is green.

Testing

bun run typecheck   # fails today against published api-contracts; passes once the dependency bumps
bun run lint        # same
bun run format:check
bun run knip
bun run test
bun run build

Checklist

  • Changes follow the code style of this project
  • Self-review completed
  • Tests added/updated (or not applicable)
  • No breaking changes (or described below) — purely additive: four new subcommands, one existing command gains mobile-aware behavior with unchanged browser behavior
  • Platform stack merged and api-contracts bumped (qawolf/platform#31741, #31758, #31759) before marking ready for review

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Adds runner inspect commands for mobile Appium sessions, WebView contexts, page source, and element lookup. The CLI validates mobile inspection flags, resolves existing runners without auto-launching, calls the mobile inspection API, and maps response states to command results. The change also extracts action input parsing into readAction and reports unsupported mobile actions as invalid arguments. Documentation, release metadata, and help snapshots are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 84ef5

The PR adds mobile inspection commands and mobile-specific action handling, but the required published API contract is not yet available; the current code cannot type-check and may reject the new action response. Merge should wait for the platform contract publication and dependency/lockfile update.

Adds `qawolf runner inspect session|contexts|page-source|elements`
alongside the browser-only `element-html`/`page-html`/`variable` arms
already on main, reading a mobile runner's Appium session, WebView
contexts, page source, or elements — via the platform's separate
`runner.inspectMobile` contract (qawolf/platform#31758), not by
extending `runner.inspect`.

`qawolf runner act` answers `action-not-supported-on-mobile` for
`double_click`, `scroll`, `move`, `keypress`, `navigate`, and a `click`
whose `--button` isn't `left` — none of those have a touchscreen
equivalent. `--button` and `--path` note the mobile-specific behavior
(left-only clicks, drag collapses to its path's first and last point).

Screenshots need no change: the platform re-encodes a mobile device's
screen to JPEG before answering, same as a browser, so the format-aware
handling an earlier draft of this added is dropped as unnecessary.

Depends on `@qawolf/api-contracts` publishing `runner.inspectMobile`
and the mobile dispatch for `performAction` (ARC-556, platform PRs
#31741/#31758/#31759). Until that lands, `inspectMobile.ts` and
`inspectMobileRequest.ts` reference contract members the pinned
`api-contracts` does not export yet, and `bun run typecheck`/`lint`
fail on exactly those two files plus the new `performAction.ts` case —
expected and scoped to this dependency, same as the two-PR stack this
supersedes documented (#1516, #1517).

Upgrade @qawolf/api-contracts before merging.

The resolved 0.27.0 declarations export InspectOnRunnerRequest and inspectRequestSchema, not InspectMobileRequest, inspectMobileRequestSchema, or runner.inspectMobile. The references in src/core/interactiveRunner/inspectMobileRequest.ts:1,24-25 and src/domains/interactiveRunner/inspectMobile.ts:21-22,86-87 therefore prevent type-checking. The namespace fallback only defers the missing runtime schema lookup; it does not provide the missing type or endpoint. Use a published contract version that contains the mobile inspection API and update bun.lock.

🌐 Web query:

@qawolf/api-contracts 0.27.0 runner.performAction action-not-supported-on-mobile

💡 Result:

The reference to runner.performAction and action-not-supported-on-mobile within the context of @qawolf/api-contracts 0.27.0 relates to internal CLI development and command-line interface generation logic, rather than a standard user-facing error [1]. In @qawolf/api-contracts version 0.27.0, a specific design decision was implemented to skip runner.performAction when generating public API commands for the QA Wolf CLI [1]. This action included an action-union input that lacked a flag-based form, which would have caused the command generation process to fail during build time if it had been included [1]. Consequently, the CLI skips this specific contract to prevent build-time errors, with the intention that this functionality would instead be implemented via a hand-written command [1]. This is a technical implementation detail within the @qawolf/cli codebase to ensure compatibility between the generated public API commands and the underlying API contracts [1][2][3]. It is not a documented user error message or a general restriction on mobile testing functionality provided by QA Wolf [4][5][6].

Publish the updated action response contract before merge.

@qawolf/api-contracts@0.27.0 allows only "action-failed", "runner-unreachable", "runner-has-no-screen", "screen-needs-a-run", and "screen-not-ready" for runner.performAction. The new "action-not-supported-on-mobile" response can be rejected by response validation, and its type is absent from the switch input. Publish the contract, update the dependency and lockfile, and add a fixture that exercises the response parser rather than mocking callPublicApi.
