 - `--udid` with `--platform android` (and `--serial` with an Apple platform) now fails as the flag mistake it is — `INVALID_ARGS` naming the right flag — instead of reaching device resolution and answering `No Apple device with UDID emulator-5580` for an explicitly Android request. `--udid` addresses Apple devices, `--serial` addresses Android and HarmonyOS; matching pairs and requests that name no platform are unchanged.
 - Breaking (`--session-lock strip`): a device selector that names a different device than the bound session is no longer silently discarded. `strip` exists to drop redundant platform/scope selectors; when it also dropped `--udid`/`--serial`/`--device`, the command kept running against the *bound* device instead of the one the caller named — a wrong-device action that looks like a success. Such a request now fails with `INVALID_ARGS` under both `reject` and `strip`, and the error carries the two identities structurally (`requestedDevice`, `boundDevice`) plus a hint offering the two real recoveries: close the bound session if the requested device is intended, or remove the selector if the bound device is. The hint no longer suggests `--session-lock strip` for an identity conflict, since following that advice is what produced the wrong-device run. Scope-only stripping (`--platform`, `--target`, `--ios-simulator-device-set`, `--android-device-allowlist`) is unchanged.
 - iOS regular snapshots now apply one backend-neutral eligibility rule after every capture backend: a node survives when its accessibility type is interactive or it carries a non-empty label, identifier, or value. This removes the tree backend's extra "hittable non-Other" membership path and drops unlabeled decorative nodes consistently; labeled images, identifier-only nodes, and value-only nodes still survive. Raw snapshot membership is unchanged.
+- iOS regular snapshots now run one shared clip fold inside presentation for every capture backend (#1797). Backends serialize reported facts -- every traversed node, at raw traversal depth -- and presentation alone decides what the viewport and scroll clips hide, books the scroll hints, and collapses depth; no backend carries its own copy of that interpretation anymore (the copies are what produced the scroll-overflow leak class, #1784). Three intentional edge deltas ride along, all in the direction of one backend-neutral rule: sub-pixel content-free decorations are now dropped by every backend (previously private-AX only); labeled offscreen Application/Window carriers now survive on every backend (previously tree only), still never hittable; and a query-sweep recovery snapshot without `-i` no longer lists offscreen elements. Nothing outside its clip, and nothing without geometry, is ever `hittable` in a regular snapshot, whatever the backend reported.
 - iOS `snapshot --raw` is now the acquired accessibility tree on every backend that can serve it (#1797). A raw request that recovered onto the private-AX backend — the route an app whose XCTest tree capture fails takes — returned the *regular* projection's viewport-pruned nodes labeled raw: everything scrolled out of the viewport, and every sub-pixel decoration, was missing from the one view whose purpose is showing what the pruned view hid. Raw now keeps every node the backend serialized, at traversal depth, and `--depth` still narrows it (for raw, presented depth *is* traversal depth). Two structural rules replace the hand-synchronized ones: the raw capture plan is derived from each backend's declared ability to serve raw, so the interactive query sweep — which has no hierarchy to return — cannot be planned for a raw request; and presentation refuses an acquisition captured for the other projection instead of relabeling it, dropping that tier with a structured failure. Breaking in the same direction: `snapshot --raw -i` now returns the acquired tree instead of an interactive-filtered one — `-i` narrows the regular projection, and the pair used to produce a third membership rule that differed per backend. Regular and `-i` output is unchanged. Backends now read one derived capture hint rather than the request itself, so what a capture is allowed to skip is stated once, next to the proof that skipping it keeps the projection complete.
 - Android `snapshot --raw` is now the acquired accessibility tree (#1832 C3): the three regular-projection pruners — nodes Android marks invisible, stale application windows, and covered same-window surfaces — no longer run at parse time, so `--raw` keeps everything the helper serialized (normalization only) and pruned content is recoverable for diagnosis. Regular and `-i` output is unchanged (property-checked identical to the previous implementation over 12,000 random tree × projection pairs, hidden-content hints included). Also: Android blocking-dialog recovery now reads the same daemon presentation an agent's `snapshot` sees instead of a hand-rolled subset, and acts on its occlusion result — a stale "App isn't responding" surface left under the foreground one no longer triggers recovery, and a covered "Close app" is never tapped ahead of the visible one; the Android freshness route signature no longer keys on `role`/`selected`, fields the Android backend never carries; and the Android helper's declared fidelity residues (no `checked`/`checkable`/`selected`/`long-clickable`, 5000-node cap before scoping, API-level cache-reset divergence) are recorded in `CONTEXT.md`.
 - `agent-device mcp` now carries its own usage guidance, so MCP-only clients (Codex CLI, Cursor, custom agents) no longer depend on a separately installed skill (#1833). The handshake `instructions` — returned by both `server/discover` and, newly, the legacy `initialize` — is a compact (< 2 KB, the Claude Code truncation limit) workflow card: start with `open {app, foreground: true}` instead of probing, act with `settle: true` and continue from the diff, verify with `wait`/`is`/`get`/`find`, copy `@refs` byte-for-byte, recover from sparse/AX-unavailable, follow error hints, `close`. A new MCP-only `help` tool serves the full guides on demand: no `topic` returns the CLI's decision card; `topic` returns `agent-device help <topic|command>` verbatim (workflow, gestures, scripting, tv, macos, web, remote, debugging, …, or any tool name for its complete flag reference), prefixed with the one-line CLI→tool-property mapping. `help` is router-owned rather than a command descriptor, so it appears in `tools/list` only — not in the CLI, Node client, or `batch` — and its description tells the model it is not a startup step. Legacy `initialize` gains the optional `instructions` field; no other legacy field changes.
