* feat(chat): task-owned direct-chat input batches + explicit no_response outcome (MUL-4351) Direct (web/mobile) chat no longer uses the last-assistant-row as an implicit input cursor. Each direct send now owns an immutable input batch: - agent_task_queue.chat_input_task_id makes a task the owner of the user messages it must consume; the send path creates the task + user message + attachment bindings + session touch in one transaction, and the daemon is notified only after commit. A claim reads exactly that batch, so a message that arrives mid-run belongs to the next task and is never absorbed. - Auto-retry inherits the root input owner and is queued at a bumped priority, created inside FailTask's transaction so no newer chat task can jump ahead. - CompleteTask writes exactly one assistant outcome inside the completion transaction: a normal message, or a visible no_response outcome (with a non-empty English fallback) when the final output is empty. The write failing rolls the completion back and the handler returns 5xx so the daemon retries; the status CAS keeps it idempotent. chat:done carries message_kind. - Web/desktop/mobile render no_response as a localized 'no text reply' state (keeping the tool timeline), suppress Copy, keep it unread, and keep the session-list preview non-blank. - Legacy/channel tasks (chat_input_task_id NULL) keep the trailing-message selector, so a rolling deploy never replays Slack/Lark history. Co-authored-by: multica-agent <github@multica.ai> * fix(chat): scope no_response to direct tasks; don't cancel task on input read error (MUL-4351) Addresses PR review (Niko): - writeChatCompletionOutcome only writes a no_response row for task-owned direct tasks (chat_input_task_id set). Legacy/channel (Slack/Lark) tasks keep the prior behavior: empty output writes no assistant row, so chat:done carries empty content and the channel outbound silently drops it — the no_response fallback body never reaches an external channel. - The daemon claim distinguishes a genuine zero-input batch from a failed input read: on ListChatInputMessages / ListChatMessages error it returns 5xx and preserves the dispatched task for redelivery instead of cancelling a valid task on a transient DB error.

Multica Mobile (iOS)
Expo + React Native iOS client for Multica. Independent from web/desktop — shares only types from @multica/core/. See CLAUDE.md for the locked tech-stack baseline and import rules.
Just want to use it on your phone? (no development)
Multica isn't on the App Store yet — until that changes, anyone who wants it on their iPhone builds from source. One command:
pnpm ios:mobile:device:prod:release
This connects to the same backend as multica.ai, so your existing account just works.
Prerequisites: Mac with Xcode, a free Apple ID added under Xcode → Settings → Accounts, iPhone connected via USB with Developer Mode enabled. Walk through Expo's Set up your environment (pick Development build → iOS Device) if any of that is missing.
Xcode signs the build with the "Personal Team" your Apple ID automatically owns — created silently the first time you signed into Xcode, no setup needed. The first build downloads CocoaPods + compiles React Native from source — expect 10–20 minutes. Subsequent builds reuse Xcode's cache.
If Xcode rejects signing with "No matching provisioning profiles found" — rare, happens if someone has claimed the default bundle id ai.multica.mobile on Apple's developer portal. Pick any reverse-domain you own and re-run:
export EXPO_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER_PROD=com.yourname.multica
pnpm ios:mobile:device:prod:release
7-day signing limit: a free Apple ID signs builds for 7 days. After that, plug back into the Mac and re-run the command to re-sign. An Apple Developer Program account ($99/yr) extends this to 1 year.
Everything below is for app developers — you can ignore the rest if you only wanted a personal install.
Scripts
| Command | What it does | Backend |
|---|---|---|
pnpm dev:mobile |
Metro only (reuse existing install) | local (.env.development.local) |
pnpm dev:mobile:staging |
Metro only (reuse existing install) | staging (.env.staging) |
pnpm dev:mobile:prod |
Metro only (reuse existing install) | production (.env.production) |
pnpm ios:mobile |
Full rebuild + install on iOS Simulator, Debug | local |
pnpm ios:mobile:staging |
Full rebuild + install on iOS Simulator, Debug | staging |
pnpm ios:mobile:prod |
Full rebuild + install on iOS Simulator, Debug | production |
pnpm ios:mobile:device |
Full rebuild + install on USB iPhone, Debug | local |
pnpm ios:mobile:device:staging |
Full rebuild + install on USB iPhone, Debug | staging |
pnpm ios:mobile:device:staging:release |
Full rebuild + install on USB iPhone, Release (standalone) | staging |
pnpm ios:mobile:device:prod |
Full rebuild + install on USB iPhone, Debug | production |
pnpm ios:mobile:device:prod:release |
Full rebuild + install on USB iPhone, Release (standalone) | production |
dev:* runs Metro only — assumes the matching variant is already installed. ios:mobile* does a full native rebuild + install.
Bundle id and display name switch on APP_ENV (see app.config.ts), so Dev / Staging / Production variants can coexist on the same device or simulator.
First-time setup
.env.staging is committed (public staging URL). .env.development.local is gitignored — copy the template once:
cp apps/mobile/.env.example apps/mobile/.env.development.local
# then edit EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL inside it to your Mac's LAN IP, e.g. http://192.168.1.42:8080
If your Apple ID isn't on the Multica Apple Developer team yet, also uncomment and set EXPO_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER_DEV to a reverse-domain you own (e.g. com.yourname.multica.dev). This only overrides the dev variant — staging / production bundle ids are intentionally not overridable so variants can coexist.
Build it onto your iPhone
Two paths, depending on what you want to do:
Day-to-day development (Mac in front of you)
pnpm ios:mobile:device:staging
Produces a Debug build with expo-dev-launcher embedded. Every launch the app probes Metro on your Mac and pulls fresh JS — perfect for hot-reload, painful when the Mac is asleep or you're on a different WiFi.
Standalone / "just use it" (walk away from the Mac)
pnpm ios:mobile:device:staging:release
Produces a Release build. No expo-dev-launcher, no Metro probe, no "Downloading…" screen. Splash → app, exactly like an App Store install. Trade-off: every JS change requires re-running this command.
Both paths share the same prerequisites: Mac with Xcode, free Apple ID added under Xcode → Settings → Accounts, iPhone connected via USB with Developer Mode enabled. Follow Expo's Set up your environment — pick Development build → iOS Device — if any of that is missing.
First build of either variant downloads CocoaPods + compiles React Native from source — expect 10-20 minutes. Subsequent builds reuse Xcode's DerivedData cache.
Try it in the iOS Simulator (no iPhone needed)
pnpm ios:mobile:staging
Boots the simulator, builds, installs the dev-client. Faster to iterate than a device build because no signing / provisioning step. Same dev:mobile:staging Metro flow afterward.
7-day signing limit (device only)
A free Apple ID signs builds for 7 days only, Debug and Release both. After that the app refuses to launch on the iPhone. Plug back into the Mac and re-run the corresponding ios:mobile:device* script to re-sign. Simulator builds are unaffected. The only workaround for the device limit is an Apple Developer Program account ($99/yr), which extends to 1 year.
Pointing at a different backend
Edit EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL in .env.staging, .env.production, or .env.development.local (whichever variant you're running). Then:
- For an installed Debug build: restart Metro (
pnpm dev:mobile:staging) so the next JS bundle picks up the new value. - For an installed Release build: re-run the
ios:mobile:device:staging:releasecommand — the value is baked into the embedded bundle at build time.
For local backend testing, use your Mac's LAN IP (ipconfig getifaddr en0), not localhost.
