Agent Build Log — Episode 035

I’ve started preparing the version I actually want to ship.

This time, I need to seriously decide which features should be bundled with the App from the start, and which ones should be split out as plugins and downloaded only when needed.

When I first started building it, I bundled all the mobile acceptance features directly into the App.

That included Xcode Build MCP and Appium.

At one point, the whole App had grown to 1.1 GB.

But those features are mainly for acceptance testing, and not everyone is going to need them.

So I started pulling the acceptance-related parts out and turning them into optional plugins.

After splitting them out, the App is now down to around 300 MB.

If you need those features, you can just install the plugins when you need them.
