v0.20.9

Highlights

• More resilient snapshots across Android and iOS: Android no longer lets empty focusable overlays hide app content, sparse captures now include a fallback screenshot, compact action labels survive presentation, and private-AX settling/custom-action reads are more stable. #1737, #1764, #1773, #1749, #1784
• Safer device ownership and command execution: Local device claims recover stale owners, while boot, apps, app state, shutdown, installation, and application lifecycle move onto request-bound runtimes for consistent cancellation, admission, and provider behavior. #1735, #1747, #1755, #1756, #1757, #1758, #1759
• Better failure evidence: Batch recovery keeps typed signals, URL credential errors are preserved, request-timeout cleanup is platform-aware, recording evidence survives faults, and iOS final-probe diagnostics remain available. #1761, #1762, #1751, #1734, #1776
• Physical-device and recording fixes: Physical iOS screenshots use the current devicectl syntax, iOS runner releases install their dependencies, and macOS recording finalization is validated before success is reported. #1769, #1785, #1732
• Stronger release and architecture gates: CLI help examples are checked against the schema, the built daemon is fingerprinted from its real import graph, previously missing CI checks now run, and runtime cutovers are enforced structurally. #1766, #1771, #1770, #1745, #1753
