Stacked on #505 (feat/a11y-app-native-and-links) → #504 → #503: this PR's diff shows only its own two commits.

Why

After #504 and #505 an agent can read any App Accessibility build it has an id or link for. It still cannot find one: "what did the last run of the checkout app find?" had no way to be answered. And the reports people record by hand on the dashboard (the mobile Workflow Analyzer) were not readable at all.

What

App Accessibility's lists, as capabilities (no new tool): capability/app_accessibility.capability-index.json adds an app_accessibility product to the capability registry, reached through searchCapability / invokeCapability like TRA and Test Management:

  • list_app_accessibility_projects: the account's projects newest first, or a search by name.
  • list_app_accessibility_builds: a project's builds newest first, with the th_build_id fetchAccessibilityIssues reads, status, report_status, app, framework and issue counts; filters by build name, user, test health, time window and app.
  • list_manual_app_accessibility_reports: manual reports newest first, with the report id, app, status and issue counts.

These are documented access-key reads with nothing to add on top, which is what the registry is for; a first version shipped them as a listAppAccessibilityReports tool, which this PR no longer adds. Authored from the controllers, with the traps the API docs leave out in each capability's guidance: the projects list reads page (the docs say page_number) and has no page-size ceiling; build_name searches only the project's 500 newest builds; an empty list answers 404 ("No builds found" / "No reports found"); manual reports' created_between is echoed but never filters and user_id applies to admins only, so neither is offered.

fetchAccessibilityIssues reads manual reports (appReportId, or the /report/{id} dashboard link as reportUrl)

  • Issues come inline from the report's scanned screens, one row per element, most severe first, paged like the rest.
  • Read from the dashboard's own screens (app_scanner/{id}/snapshot?hide_duplicate_issues=true) when that route takes the access key (browserstack/app-accessibility#2803): the count is then the dashboard's, duplicates left out, and each issue names its element, fix and measurements. Until that ships the route answers a key with a login redirect, and the issues come from the Manual Reports API as before: every occurrence, which it does not mark as duplicates, with the dashboard's own count stated next to it.
  • A report that has not ended reads as in_progress and is waited on like the other sources.

Routing text: messages that need a report or project id point at the capability functions' lists; docs/TOOLS.md updated.

Changes after the isolated evals

  • An empty listing is not an error. The API answers an empty list with 404 ("No builds found") for access-key callers; each list capability's guidance says so.

Changes after review

  • A failed project search is reported as the failure (401/403/500), not as "No project named …". Only the API's "No … found" 404 means no match. The native-build link mapping uses the same search and gets the same behaviour.
  • The lists moved to the capability registry (above), and the listing tool was dropped. Every capability was invoked live through invokeCapability: projects (by name and paged), builds (plain and by name) and manual reports return what the index declares; the 404/400 answers match their guidance; check-contract.py is clean. The isolated evals' listing cases (projects, latest run of a project, recent manual reports, builds by name) pass through the capabilities.
  • Manual reports read through the dashboard's screens when allowed (above), with the fallback verified live.
  • docs/TOOLS.md says the tool waits for a finished run's report to process, and reads a run still in progress as it is.

Verified

  • npm run build: lint, prettier, 1444 tests, tsc.
  • Against production through the built code: the project list, a project's builds, the manual report list, a manual report link, its status and its issues (144 occurrences; the dashboard counts 97, 47 duplicates), and the near-match message. Tests use made-up ids.
  • The manual reports API answers at /api/v1/reports on api-app-accessibility.browserstack.com; the documented /api/accessibility/v1/reports path returns 404 in production. Worth a docs fix.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Changes after review (Shreyas)

  • A dashboard screens page that fails after the first falls back to reading the report in full from the Manual Reports API, rather than returning the part read as the whole.
  • The Manual Reports API's issue pages fail with their page and status. The report lookup treats only a 404 as an unknown report (checked live).
  • A report with more screens than the page limit says how many were read.
  • Checked live: the dashboard route's 302 carries no Location, so the access key never leaves the API host.
  • npm run build passes: 1459 tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Retrieve issues from manual App Accessibility reports, including scan and device details, issue occurrences, duplicate and hidden-issue counts, processing status, and dashboard links.
    • Select manual reports by report ID or dashboard link; reports with no scanned screens and no ongoing processing return a no-issues message.
    • Browse App Accessibility projects, builds, and manual reports, with optional name filtering and configurable result limits.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8dbba

Build listing can give misleading guidance during an API failure, and the documentation overstates when issue fetching waits. These bounded issues do not prevent merging, but should be corrected.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8dbba

Project-search errors can return externally supplied names outside the protection used for normal results, creating a conditional prompt-injection path. Requests remain read-only and reuse existing credentials, but name-author permissions and account isolation are not fully established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new project-search recovery path places API-provided near-match names in plain agent-facing error text, outside the untrusted-data envelope used for successful results. If another actor can influence those names, a partial-name lookup can introduce stored directives into the agent’s instruction context. Name-author permissions and downstream effects are unverified; exact matching and read-only metadata do not isolate the emitted text.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Discovery expands exposure from already-known report identifiers to the project and report metadata returned for the configured credentials. Backend authorization determines the accessible account and asset scope; the client source does not establish cross-account isolation. Any agent-level consequence of malicious returned text also depends on downstream capabilities not supplied here.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The conditional attack path is a controlled stored project name, followed by a partial-name lookup with no exact match, followed by unwrapped candidate-name interpolation in the public tool error. The text flow is observed, but attacker naming authority and successful agent redirection are not established. Earlier native-build errors also interpolated names; the PR adds a discovery-triggered path over matching projects.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Manual dashboard links are host-checked before extracting an identifier, and report identifiers and name filters are encoded into fixed request targets. Exact project matching prevents selecting a near-match project for build retrieval. These controls constrain routing and selection but do not isolate candidate names subsequently emitted in errors.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Preserve the same external-data boundary during recovery as during successful responses: return project suggestions as isolated data while keeping server-authored error instructions separate.

…ead manual reports

listAppAccessibilityReports lists what App Accessibility has on record, newest first,
with the ids fetchAccessibilityIssues reads: a project's builds (and, without a project
name, the projects, since a build list needs one), or the manual Workflow Analyzer
reports. A project name matching none exactly names the near matches.

fetchAccessibilityIssues reads a manual report by appReportId or its dashboard link.
Its issues come inline from the report's scanned screens. The API lists every
occurrence and does not mark the duplicates the dashboard folds, so the answer gives
both the occurrences retrieved and the dashboard's own count. A report that has not
ended reads as in_progress and is waited on like the other sources.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The API answers an empty list with 404 ("No builds found", "No reports found") for
access-key callers. listAppAccessibilityReports now reads that as "none" and says so,
with what to drop or change; any other failure is still an error, with its status.

Found by the isolated MCP evals: a name filter that matched nothing came back as
"Request failed with status code 404".

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The tools alone do not tell an agent that a web page and a mobile app are
scanned differently, so a request like "check my app for accessibility" could
reach for Website Scanner, or for nothing. The server instructions now route
it: a web page to Website Scanner, a multi-step web flow to Automate with
accessibility on, an app to its tests on App Automate with accessibility on,
then fetchAccessibilityIssues. A test keeps every tool the line names
registered.

…reliable build links

- The first page of an app build or manual report counts its issues by
  severity, rule and screen, so an agent need not page through every issue
  to say where the problems are.
- compareWith on an app build ("previous", or an earlier build's id or
  link) lists what is new, what was resolved and how many are still open,
  matching issues by rule and element (its id, or its class and text). It
  warns when the builds scanned different screens or ran different tests,
  as an issue on a screen not reached reads as resolved. "previous" is the
  newest earlier build of the same name, or the one just before it, as
  each native run is named apart.
- "N more issues" is now exact on every page (it was estimated from the
  first row's size past page one), and a row larger than a page is still
  returned, so paging cannot stall on it.
- An App Accessibility dashboard link is resolved by build name and
  number: numbers count up per build name, so a project's builds of
  different names share them, and the number alone could open another build.
- An Espresso / XCUITest build link finds its accessibility build by the
  run's start, among the project's newest builds, rather than by walking
  the account's newest 300 App Automate builds for its name, which missed
  older runs. The name still tells apart runs that started together.

…aring builds

An iOS issue often names its element by neither id nor class, only by a
frame and sometimes an accessibility label, so every issue of one rule
shared a match key: 40 font-size issues in one build and 9 in the next
counted as one issue still open, and the counts no longer added up to
either build's total. Issues that look alike are now paired one for one,
those on the same screen and spot first, and the label tells unnamed
elements apart. New and still open now add up to the later build's total,
and resolved and still open to the earlier one's; the answer says so.

…the cursor

A comparison listed the first 50 new and 50 resolved issues and said how
many more there were, but gave no way to read them: passing a cursor
returned the same 50 (an eval read only 50 of 111 resolved issues). The
cursor now counts the issues already listed, and the answer names the
next one while either list has more.

…stings, untrusted report names

- appReportId must be a UUID, as a dashboard link's is: ".." would have
  sent an authenticated request to another API path.
- A listing reads a 404 as empty only when the API says nothing was found
  ("No builds found", "No reports found"); a 404 from a wrong route or a
  missing permission is an error again instead of an empty list.
- A manual report's name and link are quoted in an untrusted block, as
  build names now are.

…mes, page limit

- compareWith naming a build newer than the current one no longer reverses
  the result: the comparison runs from the earlier build to the later,
  and says so.
- The compared builds' names and the names of tests not run again are
  quoted in untrusted blocks, as the build's own name now is.
- "previous" no longer answers "first build" when it stopped at the page
  limit: it says the build, or the one before it, is beyond the newest
  builds read and asks for the earlier build's id or link; and when no
  same-name build was found within those pages it says so rather than
  that none exists.

…earch, say when the tool waits

- A project search that fails (401, 403, 500) is reported as that failure, not as "No
  project named …", which sent the user to fix a name that was right.
- docs/TOOLS.md says the tool waits for a finished run's report to process, and reads a
  run still in progress as it is.

…e build identity

- A page of a project's build list that fails is reported as the failure, on the first
  page or a later one, instead of ending the list, which made a build with earlier ones
  read as its project's first.
- A native run is matched only to a build that can be native: an SDK suite (pytest, …)
  started at the same moment in the same project is no longer taken for it.

…n the user's framework

The routing line sent a mobile app only to its existing tests. An app with no tests yet
now has a path: the agent offers to write them, in the framework the user picks (Appium
in any SDK language, Espresso or XCUITest), and picks one, saying which, if left to it.

… its route takes the key

A manual report's issues are read from the dashboard's own screens
(app_scanner/:id/snapshot?hide_duplicate_issues=true) when that route takes the access key:
the count is then the dashboard's, and each issue names its element, fix and measurements.
Until it does (it answers a key with a login redirect today), they are read from the Manual
Reports API as before, every occurrence, with the dashboard's count stated next to them.
A manual report's page names each rule's text and each screen's screenshot once, as a
build's does.

…t reach as resolved

Screens are numbered by scan order, so comparing builds that scanned a different number of
screens matched issues across them but read every issue on a screen the later build never
reached as resolved: build #3 of an iOS app (3 screens) against #2 (5 screens) gave 111
resolved, 113 of the earlier issues sitting on the 2 screens #3 skipped.

Screens are now recognised by the elements on them. When the builds scanned a different
number of screens, issues on an earlier screen no later screen resembles are listed as not
confirmed resolved, and issues on a later screen with no earlier counterpart as first
scanned, not new. With as many screens in each build they correspond, and a screen with
nothing left was fixed. The same comparison now reads 1 resolved, 113 not confirmed.

…ties, not a tool

The App Accessibility lists (the account's projects, a project's builds, manual reports)
are documented access-key reads with nothing to add on top, which is what the capability
registry is for. They ship as an `app_accessibility` product in
capability/app_accessibility.capability-index.json, and listAppAccessibilityReports goes.

- Three read capabilities, authored from the controllers: list_app_accessibility_projects,
  list_app_accessibility_builds and list_manual_app_accessibility_reports, on the
  project, build and manual_report entities. Routing terms (app accessibility, workflow
  analyzer, manual accessibility report, …) settle those questions on the product without
  asking; bare "accessibility" stays shared with TRA.
- Guidance carries what the API does not say: the projects list reads `page` (not the
  documented `page_number`) and has no page-size ceiling; build_name only searches the 500
  newest builds; an empty list answers 404; manual reports' `created_between` is echoed
  but never filters, and `user_id` applies to admins only, so neither is offered.
- check-contract.py is clean, and every capability was invoked live through
  invokeCapability: projects, builds (plain and by name) and manual reports return what
  the index declares; the 404 and 400 answers match their guidance.
- The manual-report and project-search messages point at the capability functions; the
  project search's error handling stays, tested on the native-build path that uses it.

Review: #506

No security issues found. The only CI status is CodeRabbit (skipped).

Medium

  • dashboardScreens: a failure on page 2+ returns the partial list as success (deduplicated true), with total_issues below dashboard_count and no warning. Truncation at MAX_SNAPSHOT_PAGES (20) isn't reported either. Fall back to the manual API or throw, and surface screens_read.
  • manualApiScreens: no raise_error:false and no resp.ok check, so a failed /issues fetch can read as "0 issues". Throw HTTP <status> on non-OK, including mid-pagination.
  • (unverified) it probes the undocumented dashboard route app_scanner/<id>/snapshot with the access key on every call (currently 302). Confirm the Authorization header isn't forwarded across origins, and note the silent behaviour change once the route starts accepting the key.

Low-Medium

  • PROCESSING_STATUSES now includes in_progress globally, which could make other sources wait. Scope it to the appReport source.

Low

  • manualReportIdFromDashboardLink regex [0-9a-f-]{36} isn't a UUID regex (the tool-level zod is stricter).
  • Every cursor page refetches all screens.
  • listAppBuilds: dashboard_link can contain "undefined", the "Did you mean" text embeds unwrapped project names, and ordering/build_name semantics/single-page listing are unverified.
  • projectId() now throws on non-404 failures, so feat(accessibility): App Accessibility checks on native builds, and App Automate links #505's buildOfNativeBuild propagates a raw error.
  • Missing tests: page 2+ failure, /issues non-OK, in_progress waiting, executeListAppAccessibilityReports errors.

AI-assisted read-only review of the diff. Items marked (unverified) were not checked against the live APIs.

…s missing

From Shreyas's review:
- A dashboard screens page that fails after the first no longer returns the
  part read as the whole: the report is read from the Manual Reports API in
  full instead.
- The Manual Reports API's issues pages fail with their page and status rather
  than counting fewer issues; the report lookup treats only a 404 as an unknown
  report (checked live: unknown id 404, bad key 401).
- A report with more screens than the page limit says how many were read, as an
  App Automate build does.

Thanks @sarve-shreyas. Addressed in b479db6 (with the updated #505 merged in):

  • Medium (dashboardScreens): if a page after the first fails, the partial list is no longer returned. The report is read in full from the Manual Reports API instead, so deduplicated is false and the dashboard's count is stated next to it. When a report has more screens than MAX_SNAPSHOT_PAGES covers, the answer now gives screens_read and says "Only the first N of the report's M scanned screens were read…", the same as for App Automate builds.
  • Medium (manualApiScreens): it now sets raise_error: false, and any non-OK page throws Could not read page N of manual report …'s issues …: HTTP <status>, including mid-pagination. manualReport now treats only a 404 as an unknown report. Checked live: an unknown id is 404 on the details and on /issues, and a bad key is 401.
  • (unverified) the dashboard-route probe: checked live. The route answers an access key with a 302 whose body is {"success":false,"message":"redirect_to_login",…} and which has no Location header. Nothing follows it, so the Authorization header never leaves api-app-accessibility.browserstack.com. Separately, follow-redirects 1.16.0 (via axios 1.19.0) drops Authorization on a cross-host redirect anyway. The behaviour change once browserstack/app-accessibility#2803 ships is intended and shows in the answer. It goes from "N issue occurrences … the dashboard counts M" to "N issues … duplicates left out", and the PR description says so. It costs one request per read until then.
  • Low-Medium (in_progress): nothing waits on it. Only WAIT_STATUSES (finalizing, rule_processing) are waited on. PROCESSING_STATUSES decides the "issues are still being added" note and whether the export link is cached. Of the sources, only a manual report reports in_progress. Left as is.
  • listAppBuilds and the other listing items no longer apply. The listing tool was dropped, and the lists are capabilities in the registry.

Build passes: lint, prettier, 1459 tests, tsc. I also read a real manual report through the built code, along with an unknown id and a bad key.

…en the compare

From Savio's review:
- The accessibility routing line in the server instructions is removed (every
  session paid for it, and it repeated what the tools' own descriptions say).
  The "offer to write tests" directive goes with it, pending a product call.

From Shreyas's review:
- A comparison refuses a build with more scanned screens than are read, as the
  issues on the rest would count as resolved or new.
- Within one test, a screen that shares half of the smaller screen's elements
  with a screen of the other build is the same screen, so the fixes on a
  mostly fixed screen are resolved rather than "not confirmed". The sheet's
  builds (#2 and #3 of the iOS app) compare as before.
- The build before a build: a build missing from its project's list, or a
  project not found by name, is an error rather than "its project's first".
- A dashboard link whose name matches no build resolves to the one build with
  its number, and refuses to guess between several.

Also: fetchAccessibilityIssues points at searchCapability for the app lists,
and docs/TOOLS.md lists the three App Accessibility capabilities.

…pp Automate links (#505)

* feat(app-automate): run App Accessibility checks on an Espresso or XCUITest build on request

runAppTestsOnBrowserStack gains an `accessibility` input (default off). The Espresso
and XCUITest build requests then carry `accessibility: true`, and the answer says how
the issues are read once the build finishes: fetchAccessibilityIssues with the App
Automate build link.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(accessibility): read App Automate build and session links

fetchAccessibilityIssues maps an App Automate build or session link to the run's App
Accessibility build. An SDK (Appium) run: any session of the build, then its test code,
which carries the TestHub build id the results went to. A native (Espresso, XCUITest)
run has no SDK session and the test-code route does not know its sessions, so it is
found by name: the build's details name its project, the App Automate build list names
the build, and App Accessibility lists the run under the same project and name. A run
without accessibility on, a build with no sessions, or one too old for the newest pages
each get a message saying so and what to pass instead.

* test(accessibility): keep the server entry out of the registration test

apiClient reaches src/index.ts through lib/utils, and the entry runs main() on import,
which logs a missing-credentials error under vitest. Stub it as the other tests do.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(accessibility): list App Accessibility builds and reports, and read manual reports

listAppAccessibilityReports lists what App Accessibility has on record, newest first,
with the ids fetchAccessibilityIssues reads: a project's builds (and, without a project
name, the projects, since a build list needs one), or the manual Workflow Analyzer
reports. A project name matching none exactly names the near matches.

fetchAccessibilityIssues reads a manual report by appReportId or its dashboard link.
Its issues come inline from the report's scanned screens. The API lists every
occurrence and does not mark the duplicates the dashboard folds, so the answer gives
both the occurrences retrieved and the dashboard's own count. A report that has not
ended reads as in_progress and is waited on like the other sources.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(accessibility): an empty listing is not an error

The API answers an empty list with 404 ("No builds found", "No reports found") for
access-key callers. listAppAccessibilityReports now reads that as "none" and says so,
with what to drop or change; any other failure is still an error, with its status.

Found by the isolated MCP evals: a name filter that matched nothing came back as
"Request failed with status code 404".

* test(accessibility): the app source is named by buildId's description, not the prompt

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(server): say which product checks what for accessibility

The tools alone do not tell an agent that a web page and a mobile app are
scanned differently, so a request like "check my app for accessibility" could
reach for Website Scanner, or for nothing. The server instructions now route
it: a web page to Website Scanner, a multi-step web flow to Automate with
accessibility on, an app to its tests on App Automate with accessibility on,
then fetchAccessibilityIssues. A test keeps every tool the line names
registered.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(accessibility): app build summary and comparison, exact paging, reliable build links

- The first page of an app build or manual report counts its issues by
  severity, rule and screen, so an agent need not page through every issue
  to say where the problems are.
- compareWith on an app build ("previous", or an earlier build's id or
  link) lists what is new, what was resolved and how many are still open,
  matching issues by rule and element (its id, or its class and text). It
  warns when the builds scanned different screens or ran different tests,
  as an issue on a screen not reached reads as resolved. "previous" is the
  newest earlier build of the same name, or the one just before it, as
  each native run is named apart.
- "N more issues" is now exact on every page (it was estimated from the
  first row's size past page one), and a row larger than a page is still
  returned, so paging cannot stall on it.
- An App Accessibility dashboard link is resolved by build name and
  number: numbers count up per build name, so a project's builds of
  different names share them, and the number alone could open another build.
- An Espresso / XCUITest build link finds its accessibility build by the
  run's start, among the project's newest builds, rather than by walking
  the account's newest 300 App Automate builds for its name, which missed
  older runs. The name still tells apart runs that started together.

* fix(accessibility): match look-alike app issues one for one when comparing builds

An iOS issue often names its element by neither id nor class, only by a
frame and sometimes an accessibility label, so every issue of one rule
shared a match key: 40 font-size issues in one build and 9 in the next
counted as one issue still open, and the counts no longer added up to
either build's total. Issues that look alike are now paired one for one,
those on the same screen and spot first, and the label tells unnamed
elements apart. New and still open now add up to the later build's total,
and resolved and still open to the earlier one's; the answer says so.

* fix(accessibility): page a comparison's new and resolved issues with the cursor

A comparison listed the first 50 new and 50 resolved issues and said how
many more there were, but gave no way to read them: passing a cursor
returned the same 50 (an eval read only 50 of 111 resolved issues). The
cursor now counts the issues already listed, and the answer names the
next one while either list has more.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(accessibility): address review on #505: native suites' setup, Test Observability, failed lookups

- An Espresso build with accessibility on now also sends
  testObservability: true: Espresso's App Accessibility report is
  generated through Test Observability, and without it the build records
  no scans.
- With accessibility on, the run-started answer names what the suite needs
  to be scanned: BrowserStack's Gradle plugin and SDK for Espresso, the
  embedded, initialized Swift SDK for XCUITest.
- A native build that recorded no scans gets those causes, not the SDK's
  (browserstack.yml, driver fixture), which do not apply to it; the
  framework comes from the build's session_data.
- A failed App Automate session lookup (401, 429, 5xx) is reported with its
  HTTP status instead of as "accessibility was not on for this run".

* fix(accessibility): address review on #506: report id shape, empty listings, untrusted report names

- appReportId must be a UUID, as a dashboard link's is: ".." would have
  sent an authenticated request to another API path.
- A listing reads a 404 as empty only when the API says nothing was found
  ("No builds found", "No reports found"); a 404 from a wrong route or a
  missing permission is an error again instead of an empty list.
- A manual report's name and link are quoted in an untrusted block, as
  build names now are.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(accessibility): address review on #511: build order, untrusted names, page limit

- compareWith naming a build newer than the current one no longer reverses
  the result: the comparison runs from the earlier build to the later,
  and says so.
- The compared builds' names and the names of tests not run again are
  quoted in untrusted blocks, as the build's own name now is.
- "previous" no longer answers "first build" when it stopped at the page
  limit: it says the build, or the one before it, is beyond the newest
  builds read and asks for the earlier build's id or link; and when no
  same-name build was found within those pages it says so rather than
  that none exists.

The accessibility flag's description and the tool's docs row name the instrumentation a
native suite must be built with (Espresso: the Gradle plugin and Java SDK; XCUITest: the
Swift SDK), so the agent can check before a run that would otherwise record no scans.

* fix(accessibility): address review on #506: report a failed project search, say when the tool waits

- A project search that fails (401, 403, 500) is reported as that failure, not as "No
  project named …", which sent the user to fix a name that was right.
- docs/TOOLS.md says the tool waits for a finished run's report to process, and reads a
  run still in progress as it is.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(accessibility): address review on #511: failed build pages, native build identity

- A page of a project's build list that fails is reported as the failure, on the first
  page or a later one, instead of ending the list, which made a build with earlier ones
  read as its project's first.
- A native run is matched only to a build that can be native: an SDK suite (pytest, …)
  started at the same moment in the same project is no longer taken for it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(accessibility): offer to write tests for an app that has none, in the user's framework

The routing line sent a mobile app only to its existing tests. An app with no tests yet
now has a path: the agent offers to write them, in the framework the user picks (Appium
in any SDK language, Espresso or XCUITest), and picks one, saying which, if left to it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(accessibility): read a manual report as the dashboard does, when its route takes the key

A manual report's issues are read from the dashboard's own screens
(app_scanner/:id/snapshot?hide_duplicate_issues=true) when that route takes the access key:
the count is then the dashboard's, and each issue names its element, fix and measurements.
Until it does (it answers a key with a login redirect today), they are read from the Manual
Reports API as before, every occurrence, with the dashboard's count stated next to them.
A manual report's page names each rule's text and each screen's screenshot once, as a
build's does.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(accessibility): don't count issues on screens a later build didn't reach as resolved

Screens are numbered by scan order, so comparing builds that scanned a different number of
screens matched issues across them but read every issue on a screen the later build never
reached as resolved: build #3 of an iOS app (3 screens) against #2 (5 screens) gave 111
resolved, 113 of the earlier issues sitting on the 2 screens #3 skipped.

Screens are now recognised by the elements on them. When the builds scanned a different
number of screens, issues on an earlier screen no later screen resembles are listed as not
confirmed resolved, and issues on a later screen with no earlier counterpart as first
scanned, not new. With as many screens in each build they correspond, and a screen with
nothing left was fixed. The same comparison now reads 1 resolved, 113 not confirmed.

From Savio's and Shreyas's review:
- Mapping an App Automate link: the session list, the native build lookup and
  the build list now fail with their status on anything but a 404 (checked
  live: a native build lists no sessions, an unknown id is a 404 on each, a bad
  key 401). A 401 or 5xx no longer reads as "native build", "not an Espresso
  or XCUITest build" or "not among the newest builds".
- An Espresso run with accessibility says it turns Test Observability on, which
  the build request does for Espresso's accessibility report.
- runAppTestsOnBrowserStack keeps main's description (297 chars); the
  accessibility argument describes itself.
