Summary (AI generated)

  • Added --no-cache to build request to opt out of Xcode compilation cache
  • Sends cache_enabled: false on POST /build/request and POST /build/start/:job_id when opted out; omits the field by default (cache enabled)
  • Threaded optional cache through SDK (requestBuild) and MCP (capgo_request_build) schemas
  • Updated cli/skills/native-builds/SKILL.md, cli/webdocs/build.mdx, and generated cli/README.md
  • Added unit tests for buildJobCachePayload

Motivation (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.

Test Plan (AI generated)

  • bun run lint (cli/)
  • bun run build (cli/)
  • bun test/test-build-cache-payload.mjs
  • bun run test:mcp
  • bun run test:bundle
  • CI green on PR

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a --no-cache option to build request, allowing Xcode compilation caching to be disabled. Caching remains enabled by default.
    • Added cache control support to build requests made through the MCP tool and SDK.
  • Documentation

    • Updated CLI help and build documentation with the new option, behavior, and usage example.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for default caching behavior and explicit cache opt-out.

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The build request flow now accepts an optional cache setting through CLI, SDK, and MCP interfaces. Disabled caching produces cache_enabled: false in builder API requests. Documentation and tests cover the new behavior.

Changes

Build cache control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache input propagation
cli/src/schemas/*, cli/src/mcp/*, cli/src/sdk.ts, cli/src/index.ts
Build request schemas accept an optional cache boolean. SDK and MCP handlers forward the setting. CLI help documents --no-cache.
Cache payload generation
cli/src/build/request.ts, cli/test/test-build-cache-payload.mjs, cli/package.json
Build creation and start payloads include cache_enabled: false when caching is disabled and omit the field otherwise. Tests validate both cases.
Cache option documentation
cli/README.md, cli/skills/native-builds/SKILL.md, cli/webdocs/build.mdx
Documentation describes --no-cache, its example usage, and the default enabled cache behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to db74d

This change adds an opt-out for native-build compilation caching while preserving cached builds by default. Cache-disabled requests are sent consistently through the supported interfaces, with no remaining merge-blocking risk identified.

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.
