Ios memgraph inspector

iOS Memgraph Inspector

Use for leaks from a live simulator process or existing .memgraph. Pair with ../ios-simulator-debugger/SKILL.md when build, launch, UI driving, logs, or screenshots are needed.

Workflow

1. Build, launch, and drive the exact flow that should release objects.
2. Capture with scripts/capture_sim_memgraph.sh.
3. Summarize with scripts/summarize_memgraph_leaks.py.
4. For app-owned leaked types, inspect ownership with leaks --traceTree=<address> <file.memgraph> and grouped leak evidence.
5. Patch the smallest retaining edge, then recapture the same flow/simulator when possible.
6. Report before/after counts, disappeared root types or paths, remaining leaks, memgraph paths, and build/test proof.

Do not claim a fix from a smaller memgraph alone; prove the specific type or ownership path disappeared.

Capture

SKILL_DIR is the loaded skill folder, not the app repo.

SKILL_DIR="<absolute path to this loaded skill folder>"
SIM="<simulator-udid>"
BUNDLE_ID="<app.bundle.identifier>"
MEMGRAPH_DIR="$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/codex-ios-memgraph.XXXXXX")"

"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/capture_sim_memgraph.sh" \
  --udid "$SIM" \
  --bundle-id "$BUNDLE_ID" \
  --out-dir "$MEMGRAPH_DIR"

If the process is missing, verify the bundle id and inspect running labels:

xcrun simctl spawn "$SIM" launchctl list

Summarize:

"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/summarize_memgraph_leaks.py" \
  /path/to/app.memgraph \
  --trace-limit 5 \
  --out /path/to/leak-summary.md

Use --trace-limit sparingly. If traceTree says Found 0 roots referencing, treat it as an unreachable/self-retained candidate and inspect leaks --groupByType <file.memgraph> plus source.

Root-Cause Rules

• Identify the first app-owned leaked type.
• Determine intended lifetime: process, session, account, view, request, or task.
• Lazy allocation is scope reduction, not proof of a fixed leak.
• Prove retain cycles with traceTree or an isolated repro.
• Separate framework/runtime noise from app-owned branches.
• Prefer removing the retaining edge over broad cleanup code.

Report

Include flow, simulator/app build, memgraph and summary paths, leaked app types/counts, ownership path or grouped evidence, applied/proposed fix, and before/after evidence. If only framework noise appears, say so and recommend a narrower capture.
