feat(cli): add --no-cache flag for native build requests - #3264
Conversation
Add --no-cache to build request so users can opt out of Xcode compilation cache. When set, the CLI sends cache_enabled: false on POST /build/request and POST /build/start/:job_id. Default behavior omits the field (cache on). Thread the option through SDK/MCP schemas, update native-build docs/skills, and add payload unit tests.

In `@cli/src/build/request.ts`:
- Line 1849: Update the --no-cache log in the shared build-request branch to
avoid the Xcode-specific wording for Android builds; use a platform-neutral
cache-disabled message while preserving the existing behavior for both supported
platforms.
In `@cli/src/mcp/tool-schemas.ts`:
- Line 146: Update the schema containing the cache field to reuse the existing
cache definition from the shared build schema in src/schemas/build.ts instead of
declaring a separate z.boolean().optional() contract. Preserve the current
description and optional/default-enabled behavior while composing or referencing
the shared schema.

Summary (AI generated)
--no-cachetobuild requestto opt out of Xcode compilation cachecache_enabled: falseonPOST /build/requestandPOST /build/start/:job_idwhen opted out; omits the field by default (cache enabled)cachethrough SDK (requestBuild) and MCP (capgo_request_build) schemascli/skills/native-builds/SKILL.md,cli/webdocs/build.mdx, and generatedcli/README.mdbuildJobCachePayloadMotivation (AI generated)
Capgo Builder is adding per-app Xcode 26 compilation cache stored in R2. Users need an explicit opt-out when they want a clean compile, while keeping cache enabled by default for faster builds.
Business Impact (AI generated)
Native build customers can force a clean Xcode compile when debugging cache-related issues without changing backend defaults. SDK/MCP callers get the same control for automation workflows.
