Wrap the PWA in a thin native iOS shell (Capacitor 8):
- capacitor.config.json (webDir dist, appId uk.timevans.thedirector,
iOS safe-area contentInset + theme background).
- @capacitor/{core,cli,ios} as devDependencies (web app keeps zero
runtime deps); ios:add / ios:sync / ios:open / ios npm scripts.
- main.js skips service-worker registration under Capacitor
(window.Capacitor.isNativePlatform) — assets are already local.
- iOS <meta> hints in index.html; .gitignore for native build output.
- docs/native-ipad-wrapper.md: full Xcode + CocoaPods build guide,
incl. the keep-awake plugin note for the wake toggle in WKWebView.
The iOS project generation/build (npx cap add ios → Xcode) needs a Mac
with full Xcode + CocoaPods, which this env lacks; it is documented for
the user to run. tests/tools/capacitor-config.test.js guards the config.
211 tests pass; build clean.
