- Git integration features work
- Session management operations work
- Error handling and offline mode work
- Terminal renderer switching works
- System logs viewer works
Summary
The iOS app has been successfully updated with all critical and most medium-priority features from the JavaScript front-end. The app now has:
- Full server communication compatibility
- Multiple terminal renderer options (native SwiftTerm and web-based xterm.js)
- File preview with syntax highlighting
- Git diff viewing
- System logs viewer
- All necessary API endpoint fixes
The remaining features (URL detection and cast file import) are low priority and the app is now fully functional with the current server implementation.
