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

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The build request flow 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.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this narrow CLI enhancement because it adds an opt-out flag without changing default build behavior.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 128aa

This change adds an opt-out for Xcode compilation caching while preserving the existing default behavior. The option is forwarded through supported CLI, SDK, and MCP build-request paths, with payload behavior covered for default and disabled caching.

cursoragent and others added 2 commits September 8, 2026 10:49
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.

Co-authored-by: Martin DONADIEU <martindonadieu@gmail.com>
- Wire test:build-cache-payload into the CLI test chain
- Use platform-neutral cache-disabled log message
- Reuse shared buildCacheOptionSchema across SDK and MCP
