HomeKit Adopter - A+ Grade Transformation Plan

Goal: Transform from working prototype to production-grade A+ application Date: November 21, 2025 Authors: Jordan Koch

🎯 A+ Definition

An A+ application must excel in three critical areas:

Security - No vulnerabilities, secure by design, privacy-first
Stability - Zero crashes, graceful error handling, resilient
Performance - Fast, efficient, minimal battery/memory impact

🔒 SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS

Critical Security Issues to Address:

1. Input Validation & Sanitization 🔴 CRITICAL

Current State: Network data from Bonjour/mDNS is trusted without validation

Risks:

Malicious TXT records could cause crashes or exploits
Buffer overflows from oversized data
Code injection via crafted device names
DNS spoofing / man-in-the-middle attacks

Fix Required:

// In NetworkDiscoveryManager.swift - parseTXTRecords()
private func parseTXTRecords(_ txtRecord: NWTXTRecord) -> [String: String] {
    var records: [String: String] = [:]

    for (key, value) in txtRecord {
        // ✅ VALIDATE KEY LENGTH (prevent buffer overflow)
        guard key.count <= 255 else {
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("TXT record key too long: \(key.count) bytes")
            continue
        }

        // ✅ SANITIZE KEY (only alphanumeric + safe chars)
        guard key.range(of: "^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$", options: .regularExpression) != nil else {
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("Invalid TXT record key: \(key)")
            continue
        }

        switch value {
        case .string(let stringValue):
            // ✅ VALIDATE VALUE LENGTH
            guard stringValue.count <= 1024 else {
                LoggingManager.shared.warning("TXT record value too long: \(stringValue.count) bytes")
                records[key] = String(stringValue.prefix(1024)) + "..."
                continue
            }

            // ✅ SANITIZE VALUE (remove control characters)
            let sanitized = stringValue.filter { !$0.isControlCharacter || $0.isNewline }
            records[key] = sanitized

        case .data(let dataValue):
            // ✅ VALIDATE DATA SIZE
            guard dataValue.count <= 2048 else {
                LoggingManager.shared.warning("TXT record data too large: \(dataValue.count) bytes")
                continue
            }

            if let valueString = String(data: dataValue.prefix(2048), encoding: .utf8) {
                let sanitized = valueString.filter { !$0.isControlCharacter || $0.isNewline }
                records[key] = sanitized
            } else {
                records[key] = "<binary data>"
            }

        @unknown default:
            records[key] = "<unknown>"
        }
    }

    // ✅ LIMIT TOTAL RECORDS (prevent memory exhaustion)
    if records.count > 50 {
        LoggingManager.shared.warning("Too many TXT records: \(records.count), truncating")
        return Dictionary(records.sorted { $0.key < $1.key }.prefix(50))
    }

    return records
}

Additional Validation Needed:

// Validate device names
func sanitizeDeviceName(_ name: String) -> String {
    guard name.count <= 255 else {
        return String(name.prefix(255))
    }

    // Remove control characters, keep Unicode letters/numbers
    let sanitized = name.filter {
        !$0.isControlCharacter || $0.isWhitespace
    }

    return sanitized.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)
}

// Validate IP addresses
func isValidIPAddress(_ ip: String) -> Bool {
    let ipPattern = #"^((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)$"#
    return ip.range(of: ipPattern, options: .regularExpression) != nil
}

// Validate ports
func isValidPort(_ port: UInt16) -> Bool {
    return port > 0 && port < 65536
}

2. Rate Limiting & DoS Prevention 🟡 HIGH

Current State: No protection against flooding attacks

Risks:

Malicious device broadcasting millions of Bonjour packets
Memory exhaustion from unlimited device storage
CPU exhaustion from continuous scanning
Battery drain from runaway network activity

Fix Required:

// In NetworkDiscoveryManager.swift
class NetworkDiscoveryManager: ObservableObject {
    // ✅ ADD RATE LIMITING
    private var deviceDiscoveryCount: [String: Int] = [:]
    private var lastDiscoveryReset: Date = Date()
    private let maxDevicesPerMinute: Int = 100
    private let maxTotalDevices: Int = 500

    // ✅ ADD COOLDOWN BETWEEN SCANS
    private var lastScanEndTime: Date?
    private let minimumScanInterval: TimeInterval = 5.0 // 5 seconds

    func startDiscovery() {
        // ✅ ENFORCE COOLDOWN
        if let lastScan = lastScanEndTime,
           Date().timeIntervalSince(lastScan) < minimumScanInterval {
            errorMessage = "Please wait \(Int(minimumScanInterval)) seconds between scans"
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("Scan attempted too soon after previous scan")
            return
        }

        // ✅ RESET RATE LIMIT COUNTER
        if Date().timeIntervalSince(lastDiscoveryReset) > 60 {
            deviceDiscoveryCount.removeAll()
            lastDiscoveryReset = Date()
        }

        // ... existing code ...
    }

    private func handleDiscoveredDevice(_ result: NWBrowser.Result, serviceType: DiscoveredDevice.ServiceType) {
        // ✅ ENFORCE RATE LIMIT
        let currentCount = deviceDiscoveryCount.values.reduce(0, +)
        guard currentCount < maxDevicesPerMinute else {
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("Rate limit exceeded: \(currentCount) devices/minute")
            return
        }

        // ✅ ENFORCE MAX TOTAL DEVICES
        guard discoveredDevices.count < maxTotalDevices else {
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("Maximum device limit reached: \(maxTotalDevices)")
            errorMessage = "Maximum device limit reached. Clear results to continue."
            return
        }

        // ... existing validation and processing ...

        // ✅ INCREMENT COUNTER
        let key = makeKey(name: device.name, serviceType: serviceType.rawValue)
        deviceDiscoveryCount[key, default: 0] += 1
    }

    func stopDiscovery() {
        // ... existing code ...
        lastScanEndTime = Date()
    }
}

3. Secure Data Storage 🟡 HIGH

Current State: Device history stored in UserDefaults (unencrypted)

Risks:

Device names, IP addresses, network topology exposed
Backup files could leak network structure
No encryption at rest

Fix Required:

// Create SecureStorageManager.swift
import Foundation
import Security

class SecureStorageManager {
    static let shared = SecureStorageManager()

    private let keychainService = "com.digitalnoise.homekitadopter.secure"

    // ✅ STORE SENSITIVE DATA IN KEYCHAIN
    func securelyStore(_ data: Data, key: String) throws {
        let query: [String: Any] = [
            kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword,
            kSecAttrService as String: keychainService,
            kSecAttrAccount as String: key,
            kSecValueData as String: data,
            kSecAttrAccessible as String: kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlock
        ]

        // Delete existing item
        SecItemDelete(query as CFDictionary)

        // Add new item
        let status = SecItemAdd(query as CFDictionary, nil)
        guard status == errSecSuccess else {
            throw NSError(domain: NSOSStatusErrorDomain, code: Int(status))
        }
    }

    // ✅ RETRIEVE ENCRYPTED DATA
    func securelyRetrieve(key: String) throws -> Data? {
        let query: [String: Any] = [
            kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword,
            kSecAttrService as String: keychainService,
            kSecAttrAccount as String: key,
            kSecReturnData as String: true,
            kSecMatchLimit as String: kSecMatchLimitOne
        ]

        var result: AnyObject?
        let status = SecItemCopyMatching(query as CFDictionary, &result)

        guard status == errSecSuccess else {
            if status == errSecItemNotFound {
                return nil
            }
            throw NSError(domain: NSOSStatusErrorDomain, code: Int(status))
        }

        return result as? Data
    }
}

// Update DeviceHistoryManager.swift
class DeviceHistoryManager: ObservableObject {
    private let storageManager = SecureStorageManager.shared
    private let historyKey = "deviceHistory"

    private func saveToUserDefaults() {
        let encoder = JSONEncoder()
        encoder.dateEncodingStrategy = .iso8601

        if let data = try? encoder.encode(deviceHistory) {
            // ✅ ENCRYPT BEFORE STORING
            do {
                try storageManager.securelyStore(data, key: historyKey)
                LoggingManager.shared.info("Device history securely saved")
            } catch {
                LoggingManager.shared.error("Failed to securely save: \(error)")
            }
        }
    }

    private func loadFromUserDefaults() {
        do {
            guard let data = try storageManager.securelyRetrieve(key: historyKey) else {
                LoggingManager.shared.info("No device history found")
                return
            }

            let decoder = JSONDecoder()
            decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .iso8601
            deviceHistory = try decoder.decode([String: DeviceRecord].self, from: data)
            LoggingManager.shared.info("Device history securely loaded")
        } catch {
            LoggingManager.shared.error("Failed to securely load: \(error)")
        }
    }
}

4. Privacy Protection 🟡 HIGH

Current State: Logs contain IP addresses and device names

Risks:

Logs could expose network topology
Device names may contain personal information
IP addresses are PII under GDPR

Fix Required:

// Update LoggingManager.swift
class LoggingManager {
    // ✅ ADD PII SCRUBBING
    private func sanitizeForLogging(_ message: String) -> String {
        var sanitized = message

        // Remove IP addresses
        let ipPattern = #"\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b"#
        sanitized = sanitized.replacingOccurrences(
            of: ipPattern,
            with: "<IP>",
            options: .regularExpression
        )

        // Remove MAC addresses
        let macPattern = #"\b([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})\b"#
        sanitized = sanitized.replacingOccurrences(
            of: macPattern,
            with: "<MAC>",
            options: .regularExpression
        )

        // Remove setup codes (8-digit codes)
        let setupCodePattern = #"\b\d{3}-\d{2}-\d{3}\b"#
        sanitized = sanitized.replacingOccurrences(
            of: setupCodePattern,
            with: "<CODE>",
            options: .regularExpression
        )

        return sanitized
    }

    func info(_ message: String, file: String = #file, function: String = #function) {
        let sanitized = sanitizeForLogging(message)
        // ... rest of logging ...
    }
}

// ✅ ADD PRIVACY POLICY
// Create PrivacyPolicy.md in app bundle

5. Network Security 🟡 HIGH

Current State: mDNS packets accepted without verification

Risks:

Spoofed Bonjour advertisements
Man-in-the-middle attacks
Rogue devices impersonating HomeKit accessories

Fix Required:

// Add network security validation
class NetworkSecurityValidator {
    // ✅ VALIDATE BONJOUR SERVICE
    static func isValidHomeKitService(_ result: NWBrowser.Result) -> Bool {
        guard case .service(let name, let type, let domain, _) = result.endpoint else {
            return false
        }

        // Verify domain is .local (prevents DNS poisoning)
        guard domain == "local." else {
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("Non-local domain rejected: \(domain)")
            return false
        }

        // Verify service type format
        let validTypes = ["_hap._tcp", "_matterc._udp", "_matter._tcp"]
        guard validTypes.contains(type) else {
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("Invalid service type: \(type)")
            return false
        }

        // Verify name is reasonable length
        guard name.count > 0 && name.count <= 255 else {
            LoggingManager.shared.warning("Invalid name length: \(name.count)")
            return false
        }

        return true
    }

    // ✅ VALIDATE TXT RECORD VALUES
    static func validateHomeKitTXTRecords(_ records: [String: String]) -> Bool {
        // Required fields for HomeKit
        let requiredKeys = ["id", "md", "pv", "s#", "sf", "ci"]

        // Check for suspicious patterns
        for (key, value) in records {
            // Detect SQL injection attempts
            if value.contains("'") || value.contains(";") || value.contains("--") {
                LoggingManager.shared.warning("Suspicious SQL pattern in TXT: \(key)")
                return false
            }

            // Detect XSS attempts
            if value.contains("<script") || value.contains("javascript:") {
                LoggingManager.shared.warning("Suspicious XSS pattern in TXT: \(key)")
                return false
            }

            // Detect command injection
            if value.contains("$(") || value.contains("`") || value.contains("|") {
                LoggingManager.shared.warning("Suspicious command in TXT: \(key)")
                return false
            }
        }

        return true
    }
}

🛡️ STABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

Critical Stability Issues to Address:

1. Error Handling 🔴 CRITICAL

Current State: Many functions can throw or fail without proper handling

Risks:

App crashes from unhandled errors
Silent failures that confuse users
No recovery from transient network issues

Fix Required:

// Wrap all network operations in Result type
enum NetworkError: LocalizedError {
    case browserFailed(Error)
    case connectionTimeout
    case invalidResponse
    case rateLimitExceeded
    case maxDevicesReached

    var errorDescription: String? {
        switch self {
        case .browserFailed(let error):
            return "Network scan failed: \(error.localizedDescription)"
        case .connectionTimeout:
            return "Connection timed out. Check network connection."
        case .invalidResponse:
            return "Received invalid data from network device."
        case .rateLimitExceeded:
            return "Too many devices discovered. Please wait and try again."
        case .maxDevicesReached:
            return "Maximum device limit reached. Clear results to continue."
        }
    }

    var recoverySuggestion: String? {
        switch self {
        case .browserFailed:
            return "Check Wi-Fi connection and try again."
        case .connectionTimeout:
            return "Move closer to devices or check router settings."
        case .invalidResponse:
            return "Device may be malfunctioning. Try power cycling it."
        case .rateLimitExceeded:
            return "Wait 60 seconds before scanning again."
        case .maxDevicesReached:
            return "Tap 'Clear Results' and scan for specific devices."
        }
    }
}

// Update NetworkDiscoveryManager
func startDiscovery() -> Result<Void, NetworkError> {
    guard !isScanning else {
        return .failure(.rateLimitExceeded)
    }

    guard discoveredDevices.count < maxTotalDevices else {
        return .failure(.maxDevicesReached)
    }

    do {
        try performDiscovery()
        return .success(())
    } catch {
        return .failure(.browserFailed(error))
    }
}

// Handle all errors gracefully
private func handleDiscoveryError(_ error: NetworkError) {
    LoggingManager.shared.error("Discovery error: \(error.localizedDescription)")

    errorMessage = error.localizedDescription

    // ✅ PROVIDE RECOVERY SUGGESTION
    if let recovery = error.recoverySuggestion {
        successMessage = "Tip: \(recovery)"
    }

    // ✅ AUTO-RETRY FOR TRANSIENT ERRORS
    if case .connectionTimeout = error {
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5.0) { [weak self] in
            self?.retryDiscovery()
        }
    }
}

2. Memory Management 🟡 HIGH

Current State: Potential memory leaks and retain cycles

Audit Required:

// Run memory leak detection
// In NetworkDiscoveryManager.swift

// ✅ ENSURE ALL TIMERS ARE INVALIDATED
deinit {
    for browser in browsers {
        browser.cancel()
    }
    discoveryTimer?.invalidate()
    discoveryTimer = nil

    // ✅ CLEAR ALL COLLECTIONS
    browsers.removeAll()
    discoveredDevices.removeAll()
    deviceDiscoveryCount.removeAll()

    LoggingManager.shared.info("NetworkDiscoveryManager fully deallocated")
}

// ✅ ADD MEMORY PRESSURE MONITORING
class MemoryMonitor {
    static func checkMemoryPressure() -> Bool {
        var info = mach_task_basic_info()
        var count = mach_msg_type_number_t(MemoryLayout<mach_task_basic_info>.size)/4

        let result = withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &info) {
            $0.withMemoryRebound(to: integer_t.self, capacity: 1) {
                task_info(mach_task_self_,
                         task_flavor_t(MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO),
                         $0,
                         &count)
            }
        }

        guard result == KERN_SUCCESS else { return false }

        let usedMemoryMB = Double(info.resident_size) / 1024 / 1024
        LoggingManager.shared.info("Memory usage: \(Int(usedMemoryMB)) MB")

        // ✅ WARN IF MEMORY HIGH
        return usedMemoryMB > 100 // 100 MB threshold for tvOS
    }
}

// ✅ CLEAR CACHE WHEN MEMORY PRESSURE
@objc private func handleMemoryWarning() {
    LoggingManager.shared.warning("Memory warning received - clearing cache")

    // Clear old devices
    let cutoff = Date().addingTimeInterval(-3600) // 1 hour ago
    discoveredDevices.removeAll { $0.discoveredAt < cutoff }

    // Clear device history for old devices
    DeviceHistoryManager.shared.clearOldHistory(before: cutoff)
}

3. Concurrency Safety 🟡 HIGH

Current State: @MainActor used but some race conditions possible

Fix Required:

// Add thread-safe collections
actor DeviceCache {
    private var devices: [String: NetworkDiscoveryManager.DiscoveredDevice] = [:]
    private let maxDevices = 500

    func add(_ device: NetworkDiscoveryManager.DiscoveredDevice) async throws {
        guard devices.count < maxDevices else {
            throw NetworkError.maxDevicesReached
        }

        let key = "\(device.name)-\(device.serviceType.rawValue)"
        devices[key] = device
    }

    func getAll() async -> [NetworkDiscoveryManager.DiscoveredDevice] {
        return Array(devices.values)
    }

    func clear() async {
        devices.removeAll()
    }
}

// Use structured concurrency
func startDiscovery() async throws {
    guard !isScanning else {
        throw NetworkError.rateLimitExceeded
    }

    isScanning = true
    defer { isScanning = false }

    // ✅ USE TASK GROUPS FOR PARALLEL SCANNING
    try await withThrowingTaskGroup(of: [DiscoveredDevice].self) { group in
        for serviceType in DiscoveredDevice.ServiceType.allCases {
            group.addTask {
                try await self.scanForService(serviceType)
            }
        }

        for try await devices in group {
            await deviceCache.add(devices)
        }
    }
}

4. Crash Prevention 🔴 CRITICAL

Current State: Force unwraps and unchecked array access

Audit Required:

# Find all dangerous patterns
grep -r "!" HomeKitAdopter/HomeKitAdopter/*.swift | grep -v "// Safe" | wc -l
# Result: 47 force unwraps found!

grep -r "\[0\]" HomeKitAdopter/HomeKitAdopter/*.swift | wc -l
# Result: 12 unchecked array accesses

Fix Required:

// Replace ALL force unwraps with safe alternatives

// ❌ DANGEROUS
let firstDevice = discoveredDevices[0]
let port = device.port!

// ✅ SAFE
guard let firstDevice = discoveredDevices.first else {
    LoggingManager.shared.warning("No devices available")
    return
}

guard let port = device.port else {
    LoggingManager.shared.warning("Device missing port information")
    return
}

// ✅ ADD PRECONDITION CHECKS
precondition(port > 0 && port < 65536, "Invalid port: \(port)")

// ✅ ADD ASSERTIONS IN DEBUG
assert(discoveredDevices.count <= maxTotalDevices, "Device limit exceeded")

5. Network Resilience 🟡 HIGH

Current State: No handling of network disconnections

Fix Required:

import Network

class NetworkMonitor: ObservableObject {
    @Published private(set) var isConnected: Bool = true
    @Published private(set) var connectionType: NWInterface.InterfaceType?

    private let monitor = NWPathMonitor()
    private let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "NetworkMonitor")

    init() {
        monitor.pathUpdateHandler = { [weak self] path in
            DispatchQueue.main.async {
                self?.isConnected = path.status == .satisfied
                self?.connectionType = path.availableInterfaces.first?.type

                if path.status == .satisfied {
                    LoggingManager.shared.info("Network connected via \(path.availableInterfaces.first?.type.debugDescription ?? "unknown")")
                } else {

        // ... existing code ...
    }
}

⚡ PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

Critical Performance Issues:

1. Inefficient String Operations 🟡 HIGH

Current State: Multiple string operations in hot paths

Fix Required:

// Cache normalized strings
class DeviceNameCache {
    private var cache: [String: String] = [:]
    private let cacheLimit = 1000

    func normalized(_ name: String) -> String {
        if let cached = cache[name] {
            return cached
        }

        let normalized = name.normalizedForMatching()

        if cache.count < cacheLimit {
            cache[name] = normalized
        }

        return normalized
    }

    func clear() {
        cache.removeAll(keepingCapacity: true)
    }
}

// Use string builders for concatenation
func buildDeviceDescription(_ device: DiscoveredDevice) -> String {
    var components: [String] = []
    components.reserveCapacity(5)

    components.append(device.name)
    components.append(device.serviceType.displayName)

    if let host = device.host {
        components.append(host)
    }

    if let port = device.port {
        components.append(String(port))
    }

    return components.joined(separator: " | ")
}

2. Redundant Calculations 🟡 HIGH

Current State: Confidence score calculated multiple times

Fix Required:

// Cache confidence scores
struct DiscoveredDevice: Identifiable, Hashable {
    // ... existing properties ...

    // ✅ LAZY CALCULATED PROPERTY
    private var cachedConfidence: (score: Int, reasons: [String])?

    mutating func calculateConfidenceScore(adoptedAccessories: [String]) -> (score: Int, reasons: [String]) {
        if let cached = cachedConfidence {
            return cached
        }

        let result = performConfidenceCalculation(adoptedAccessories: adoptedAccessories)
        cachedConfidence = result
        return result
    }

    // ✅ INVALIDATE CACHE WHEN NEEDED
    mutating func invalidateCache() {
        cachedConfidence = nil
    }
}

3. Excessive UI Updates 🟡 HIGH

Current State: UI updates on every device discovered

Fix Required:

// Batch UI updates
class NetworkDiscoveryManager: ObservableObject {
    @Published private(set) var discoveredDevices: [DiscoveredDevice] = []

    private var pendingDevices: [DiscoveredDevice] = []
    private var updateTimer: Timer?

    func startDiscovery() {
        // ... existing code ...

        // ✅ BATCH UPDATES EVERY 0.5 SECONDS
        updateTimer = Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.5, repeats: true) { [weak self] _ in
            self?.flushPendingDevices()
        }
    }

    private func handleDiscoveredDevice(_ result: NWBrowser.Result, serviceType: DiscoveredDevice.ServiceType) {
        // ... validate and create device ...

        // ✅ ADD TO PENDING QUEUE INSTEAD OF IMMEDIATE UPDATE
        pendingDevices.append(device)
    }

    private func flushPendingDevices() {
        guard !pendingDevices.isEmpty else { return }

        // ✅ SINGLE UI UPDATE FOR ALL PENDING DEVICES
        discoveredDevices.append(contentsOf: pendingDevices)
        pendingDevices.removeAll(keepingCapacity: true)
    }

    func stopDiscovery() {
        updateTimer?.invalidate()
        updateTimer = nil
        flushPendingDevices() // Final flush

        // ... existing code ...
    }
}

4. Memory Allocations 🟡 HIGH

Current State: Frequent array copying and reallocations

Fix Required:

// Pre-allocate capacity
func startDiscovery() {
    discoveredDevices.removeAll(keepingCapacity: true)
    discoveredDevices.reserveCapacity(100) // Expected device count

    browsers.removeAll(keepingCapacity: true)
    browsers.reserveCapacity(DiscoveredDevice.ServiceType.allCases.count)

    // ... rest of code ...
}

// Use array slices to avoid copying
func getRecentDevices(count: Int) -> ArraySlice<DiscoveredDevice> {
    let sorted = discoveredDevices.sorted { $0.discoveredAt > $1.discoveredAt }
    return sorted.prefix(count)
}

5. Background Operations 🟡 HIGH

Current State: All operations on main thread

Fix Required:

// Move heavy operations off main thread
actor DeviceProcessor {
    func processDiscoveredDevices(_ devices: [NetworkDiscoveryManager.DiscoveredDevice],
                                   adoptedAccessories: [String]) async -> [(device: NetworkDiscoveryManager.DiscoveredDevice, score: Int, reasons: [String])] {
        return devices.map { device in
            let (score, reasons) = device.calculateConfidenceScore(adoptedAccessories: adoptedAccessories)
            return (device, score, reasons)
        }
    }
}

// Use background queue for heavy operations
func analyzeAllDevices() async {
    let adoptedNames = await homeManager.getAdoptedAccessoryNames()

    // ✅ PROCESS ON BACKGROUND THREAD
    let results = await deviceProcessor.processDiscoveredDevices(
        discoveredDevices,
        adoptedAccessories: adoptedNames
    )

    // ✅ UPDATE UI ON MAIN THREAD
    await MainActor.run {
        self.deviceAnalysisResults = results
    }
}
