feat(runner): add mobile support to qawolf runner (ARC-556)

[Erzhan Torokulov (erzhtor)]

Closes ARC-585. 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. inspect handles the platform's new runner-is-not-a-browser refusal the same way.

runner.inspectMobile's output answers outcome: "success"/"failure" plus a failureReason, same as every other runner verb, so handleRunnerInspectMobile switches on failureReason rather than on flat outcome literals. runner.inspectMobile is also added to skippedContractNames, alongside the rest of the hand-written runner.* group, so the flag generator does not try to synthesize a duplicate command for it.

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 cases in inspect.ts/performAction.ts — they reference contract members api-contracts doesn't publish yet. Everything else (format:check, knip, naming check, full test suite) is green; verified locally against a linked build of the updated contracts.

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

Walkthrough

Adds mobile runner inspect commands for sessions, contexts, page source, and elements. The commands build and validate requests, resolve existing runners, call the mobile inspection API, and map results or failures to CLI output. Updates document mobile behavior for runner act, including unsupported actions. Extracts stdin action parsing into readAction and adds help snapshots and release metadata.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 631e6

The mobile runner changes currently depend on an API contract version that is not yet published, so required typecheck and lint checks fail until the dependency is updated; merge should wait for that integration step. The mobile navigate failure message also needs a small wording correction to avoid misleading users.

src/core/interactiveRunner/inspectMobileRequest.ts (lines 1-12) and

include action-not-supported-on-mobile, then upgrade the `@qawolf/api-contracts`
dependency and lockfile to the published version. Extend the switch input type
to recognize the new response and add a fixture-based test that exercises
response parsing without mocking callPublicApi.

13-14: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe navigate accurately.

Line 14 groups navigate with pointer- or keyboard-only actions. navigate is not a pointer or keyboard input, so this gives users an incorrect reason for the rejection. State that these actions are unsupported on mobile, or list navigate separately.

Proposed wording fix

-    "This runner is a mobile device and this action has no touchscreen equivalent. double_click, scroll, move, keypress and navigate are pointer- or keyboard-only, and click only works with button left. Retrying will never help: click taps, drag swipes between its path's first and last point, and type types into whatever the last tap focused.",
