mobster devices

List every device Mobster can drive: USB iPhones (set up or newly plugged in), Mobster’s simulators, and phone addresses from MOBSTER_WDA_DEVICES. Each shows its state: Ready, In use, Connected, Needs setup or Unplugged. Name one with --device on run, screen, doctor, serve, mcp and the terminal UI. It changes nothing. mobster devices lock-probe reads whether an iPhone is locked or showing a system sheet (Face ID, a locked app, the App Store’s side-button confirmation) the way a task’s check does, and lists what the lock screen shows. It taps and types nothing. mobster devices status reads a device’s battery and thermal state, and whether this Mac is on battery. A value the device doesn’t report is left out. Without --device it reads the only device, else the first iPhone set up.
