Fixture-first iOS prototype

Driftmark

A SwiftUI review prototype for examining API changes, affected call sites, supporting evidence, and patch suggestions.

Put human review between a detected change and a proposed patch.

Driftmark demonstrates three native review surfaces: an overview of the finding, the indexed call sites, and an in-memory patch suggestion.

The current app uses a deterministic mail-provider migration fixture. It does not inspect a repository, execute code, fetch provider documentation, or write a patch.

A finding is reviewed before any code could change.

  1. Scan fixture

    Start a deterministic local scan that changes only the current interface state.

  2. Read finding

    Review the provider change, affected surface, and sample response label.

  3. Inspect call sites

    Move through the three synthetic locations tied to the change.

  4. Check evidence

    Compare the indexed source text with the supporting specification fixture.

  5. Simulate export

    Receive a local confirmation without creating, writing, or applying a patch.

A small native shell around fixture models.

The app is intentionally independent from a real analysis engine so the review flow can be tested without repository or execution access.

Overview

  • Finding summary
  • Sample counts
  • Fixture disclosure
  • Scan state

Call sites

  • Synthetic paths
  • Indexed source text
  • Affected locations
  • Review toggles

Patch

  • Suggested change
  • Supporting evidence
  • In-memory review
  • Simulated receipt
Runtime
The standalone SwiftUI Simulator app has no package dependency on another workspace.
State
Review choices and the export receipt exist only for the current app session.

The prototype never crosses into repository execution.

EvidenceSynthetic specification and source spansFetch provider documentation or prove a real change
PatchA human-reviewable suggestionCreate, write, apply, or commit a patch
App sessionIn-memory toggles and receiptsPersist data, contact a network, or request credentials

The repository keeps the native bundle reproducible.

Project-free build

Shell scripts use the Swift compiler and Xcode asset tools to build the Simulator application.

Verification

Continuous integration lints Swift, builds the bundle, validates metadata and assets, and verifies its ad-hoc signature.

Editable identity

The application icon ships with both a compiled asset source and an editable SVG master.

A real analyzer would need a much larger security boundary.

Indexing

Repository parsing, provider-spec ingestion, and change detection are not implemented.

Permissions

A production tool would need explicit repository scope, secure credentials, and auditable read access.

Patch verification

Real output would need file writes, Git integration, build execution, tests, and a safe rollback path.
