Promotes dev 694fc5e to production. mobile/Makefile and mobile/README.md only; no runtime change.

An APPLE_BUILD_HOST=haiku-50 override made this Makefile build on the user's Mac instead of
haiku-7. Off GitHub Actions the lane now stops naming the override, so every Apple goal
forwards to haiku-7 through remote-slot.

Agent-Session: b9d88027-560a-4ba9-b763-31ed8b5fd17a
The user permits a haiku-50 build by hand when needed, so the Makefile no longer refuses
the override. haiku-7 stays the default; the agent guidance that steered lanes to haiku-50
is fixed at its owner instead.

Agent-Session: b9d88027-560a-4ba9-b763-31ed8b5fd17a
…ng it

The Makefile and README named a private fleet machine in this public repository. The
Makefile now reads the build host from the dotfiles host tool remote-slot, which every
host that forwards a lane already needs; GitHub Actions still runs lanes in place.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Build Tooling
    • Apple builds outside GitHub Actions now use a dynamically selected build host instead of a fixed machine. If no host is available, the build stops with an error.
    • GitHub Actions builds no longer select a remote Apple build host.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the Mac build instructions to describe the dynamically selected host.

The Makefile now gets the Mac build host from remote-slot apple-host outside GitHub Actions and errors if the command returns no host. In GitHub Actions, the variable is empty. The README documents the updated host selection and existing forwarding behavior.

Changes: Mac Build Host

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host selection and forwarding documentation
mobile/Makefile, mobile/README.md
Outside GitHub Actions, the Makefile uses the host returned by remote-slot apple-host and errors if none is returned. In GitHub Actions, the host variable is empty. The README documents host selection and the existing forwarding behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 694fc

The README duplicates the Makefile’s host-selection instructions instead of referring to the canonical source. This is a low-risk documentation issue; update the paragraph to follow the project guidance.

The Mac build host that `remote-slot apple-host` names runs every lane in `mobile/Makefile`. From
any other host, `make -C mobile <lane>` forwards the goals and command-line variables to the
dotfiles host tool `remote-slot`, which mirrors this checkout's exact bytes into a warm
`.worktrees/remote-slot-<n>` on that host and runs the lane there; its outputs stay on that host.

Reference the Makefile instead of duplicating its behavior.

This paragraph restates the host-selection and forwarding contract owned by mobile/Makefile. Replace those mechanics with a reference to the Makefile to prevent the documentation from drifting.

As per coding guidelines, “docs […] must bind/import/project the canonical owner instead of restating it (No Mirrors).”

P2 Badge Skip remote-slot lookup when a host override is supplied

When an alternate Mac runs locally with make -C mobile <lane> APPLE_BUILD_HOST="$(hostname -s)", GNU Make still eagerly expands the right-hand side of this := assignment even though the command-line value takes precedence. If remote-slot apple-host is unavailable or unconfigured on that Mac, parsing therefore fails before the hostname check, breaking the supported manual override and even unsigned local lanes that do not otherwise need remote-slot; guard the lookup based on the variable's origin or use an assignment that does not evaluate the default when overridden.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

GNU make expands a := right-hand side even when a command-line value overrides it, so a
manual APPLE_BUILD_HOST run still failed on a host without remote-slot. The lookup now runs
only when no command-line value and no GitHub Actions run names the host, and its error
says how to fix a missing or outdated remote-slot.
