apple ppo status | create --variant b[,c] | upload --variant b | start | stop: v2 experiments (platform IOS, traffic
proportion), one treatment per shots variant (max 3), a treatment localization per App Store locale, and the variant
renders synced into the treatment screenshot sets (shared MD5-idempotent set sync with apple screenshots, which no
longer creates sets on --dry). start / stop ask first and are not MCP tools; MCP: apple_ppo_status, apple_ppo_create,
apple_ppo_upload. Play experiments stay console-only (documented).
apple.iphoneMedium (off by default): iphone-medium size key, 1206 x 2622 (1179 x 2556 accepted), uploaded as

Play Developer Reporting API v1beta1 (crashRateMetricSet / anrRateMetricSet DAILY queries in America/Los_Angeles,
user-perceived 28-day rates, worst device models, errorIssues:search) and App Store Connect perfPowerMetrics,
diagnostic signatures and TestFlight crash submissions. Thresholds 1.09 % crash / 0.47 % ANR / 8 % per device

App Store listing (whatToTest or whatsNew), Test Information and Beta App Review details, builds by exact number to
groups, Beta App Review submission behind --submit-review and a confirmation. Pure planners in cli/lib/testflight.ts,

- Tablet frames default to the 13" iPad screen (1032 x 1352 @2x below a 24 px bar) when apple.ipad is set
- shots.capture.cropTop takes a number or { phone, tablet }; default is the frame's bar share per device class
- capture warns when a cropped frame does not match the frame aspect
- apple screenshots uploads ipad13 as APP_IPAD_PRO_3GEN_129 only with apple.ipad; validate requires it then
- ios-sim: one warm-up launch after a cold boot (ios.warmupMs, default 8000) so the first frame is not blank
- validate: read-only App Store Connect + Play report with ordered blockers (exit 1)
- apple release --phased on|pause|resume|complete and --manual-release (asks first)
- apple status --wait-review (exit 0 approved, 1 rejected, 7 timeout), apple next-build, apple encryption
- play rollout --fraction|--halt|--resume|--complete, play next-version-code
- check --aso, whats-new --since <tag>, privacy-manifest --ios <path>, version
