If you are an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Cline, etc.) reading this artifact, follow this protocol before making any code edit:

1. Verify the contract. Run the bash script in Verify before trusting below. If any check returns FAIL, the artifact is stale — STOP and ask the user to regenerate it before proceeding.
2. Treat the AI · unverified sections as hypotheses, not facts. Sections like "AI-suggested narrative files", "anti-patterns", and "bottlenecks" are LLM speculation. Verify against real source before acting on them.
3. Cite source on changes. When proposing an edit, cite the specific path:line-range. RepoPilot's live UI at https://repopilot.app/r/HaishinKit/HaishinKit.swift shows verifiable citations alongside every claim.

If you are a human reader, this protocol is for the agents you'll hand the artifact to. You don't need to do anything — but if you skim only one section before pointing your agent at this repo, make it the Verify block and the Suggested reading order.

Each check prints ok: or FAIL:. The script exits non-zero if anything failed, so it composes cleanly into agent loops (./verify.sh || regenerate-and-retry).

HaishinKit is a native Swift library that enables camera and microphone streaming to live broadcasting services via RTMP and SRT protocols on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS. It handles real-time audio/video capture, encoding, multi-streaming to separate services, screen capture (via ReplayKit and ScreenCaptureKit), and video mixing with overlays—solving the problem of building live broadcast applications without deep protocol and media handling expertise. Monorepo structure with RTMPHaishinKit/, SRTHaishinKit/, and RTCHaishinKit/ subpackages (visible in Docs.docc references), Examples/ directory with platform-specific implementations (Examples/iOS, Examples/macOS, Examples/tvOS), DebugDescription/ utilities for logging, and .swiftpm package configuration. SwiftLint enforced (.swiftlint.yml at root and Examples/), with workflow automation for releases and reviews.

iOS/macOS app developers building live streaming features, content creators who need multi-platform broadcast apps, and media companies integrating RTMP/SRT publishing into native applications. Specifically for teams needing production-grade camera access with strict concurrency and multi-camera support.

Highly mature—10+ years of development since August 2, 2015, with 2,778 commits and 163 releases, strong GitHub community (stars visible in badge infrastructure). CI/CD pipeline present (.github/workflows for release, review, ai-moderator). Actively maintained with xcode 26.0+ and Swift 6 support, indicating ongoing development beyond legacy status.

Single maintainer risk evident (shogo4405 as primary author in Examples workspace). Sponsor-gated technical support may limit community contributions. No visible test coverage metrics in file structure (no Tests/ directory listed in top 60 files). Tight Swift/Xcode version coupling (requires Swift 6, Xcode 26.0+) means upgrade cadence risk. Dependency on Apple's proprietary AVFoundation and ReplayKit/ScreenCaptureKit means breaking changes from OS updates.

Active platform expansion: support added for visionOS alongside existing iOS/macOS/tvOS. Swift 6 strict concurrency compliance is in-flight feature. Recent focus on multi-camera multitasking support (per Features section). GitHub Actions automation shows ongoing release pipeline and review processes. Examples project includes new AudioEngineCapture.swift and AudioSourceService.swift for capture improvements.

Clone: git clone https://github.com/HaishinKit/HaishinKit.swift.git. Open Examples/Examples.xcodeproj in Xcode 26.0+. Select one of the scheme targets (Example iOS, Example macOS, Example tvOS, Example visionOS, or Screencast). Build and run. Swift Package Manager support via Examples/Package.swift allows also: swift package resolve then open workspace.

Daily commands: Open Examples/Examples.xcodeproj in Xcode 26.0+. Select target scheme (Example iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, or Screencast). Cmd+R to build and run on simulator or connected device. For tvOS/visionOS, requires appropriate simulator or hardware.

• Examples/iOS/AudioEngineCapture.swift: Primary entry point for audio capture pipeline; shows how AudioEngine integrates with HaishinKit for microphone input
• Examples/iOS/AudioSourceService.swift: Service layer abstracting audio source selection and management; critical for understanding audio routing patterns
• Examples/iOS/ContentView.swift: SwiftUI main view for iOS example; demonstrates API surface for stream control, settings, and preview
• Examples/Preference.swift: Configuration/settings model shared across platforms; shows how streaming parameters (bitrate, resolution, etc.) are managed
• .github/workflows/release.yml: Defines release automation, version tagging, and artifact publishing process; essential for understanding deployment pipeline
• .swiftlint.yml: SwiftLint configuration enforced across codebase; defines code style and quality gates required for contributions
• RTMPHaishinKit/Sources/Docs.docc/index.md: DocC documentation entry for RTMP protocol implementation; primary docs for RTMP-specific APIs
• Examples/Examples.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj: Xcode project configuration managing multi-platform targets (iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS) and scheme definitions

Core streaming logic: modify RTMPHaishinKit/Sources/ or SRTHaishinKit/Sources/ for protocol/encoding changes. Capture pipeline: edit Examples/iOS/AudioEngineCapture.swift or AudioSourceService.swift for input handling. UI/examples: Examples/iOS/ContentView.swift for SwiftUI integration, Examples/Preference.swift for settings. Debug output: extend files in DebugDescription/ for additional diagnostic logging. Tests: add to Tests/ directory (currently not visible—create following Xcode test target conventions).

Swift 6 strict concurrency requirement: code must be fully actor-isolated or use @MainActor annotations—legacy Swift 5 patterns will fail. No visible test directory: adding tests requires creating Tests/ with proper target configuration in Package.swift. Platform-specific permissions: iOS requires NSCameraUsageDescription and NSMicrophoneUsageDescription in Info.plist; screen capture requires app group entitlements (HaishinApp.entitlements visible for example). AVFoundation thread safety: capture callbacks arrive on background threads; async/await must be used to marshal to main thread. RTMP/SRT URL format requirements: library likely expects specific URL schemes (rtmp:// or srt://)—incorrect formats will silently fail without clear error messages.

• RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) — HaishinKit's primary streaming protocol via RTMPHaishinKit subpackage; understanding RTMP handshake, chunking, and AMF encoding is critical for debugging stream connection failures
• SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) — HaishinKit's second-generation streaming protocol via SRTHaishinKit; lower-latency alternative to RTMP with built-in encryption and packet recovery
• AVFoundation audio/video capture and encoding — Foundational Apple framework that HaishinKit wraps; understanding AVCaptureSession, AVAssetWriter, and CMSampleBuffer is essential for modifying capture and encoding behavior
• Actor model and Swift 6 strict concurrency — HaishinKit enforces actor isolation across audio/video pipeline threads; all modifications require @MainActor or actor-isolated functions to avoid race conditions on capture callbacks
• H.264 and H.265 video codec standards — HaishinKit likely uses hardware H.264/H.265 encoding via VideoToolbox; understanding codec profiles, bitrate control, and keyframe intervals is critical for streaming quality tuning
• ReplayKit and ScreenCaptureKit screen capture APIs — HaishinKit integrates ReplayKit (iOS) and ScreenCaptureKit (macOS) for screen sharing; understanding app group entitlements and frame callbacks is required for screen broadcast features
• Multi-camera concurrent access on iPadOS — HaishinKit supports simultaneous camera access during multitasking; requires understanding of camera availability notifications and capture session resource contention

• jmaGods/RTMP-Server — Lightweight RTMP server implementation in Swift; useful as a local test target for HaishinKit streaming without external broadcast service
• manuelmaly/HaishinKit.kt — Kotlin/Android port of HaishinKit; same API patterns and protocol support, allowing cross-platform streaming architecture
• shogo4405/Logboard — Debugging utility library by same maintainer; complements HaishinKit for logging streaming lifecycle and media events
• VideoLAN/VLC — RTMP/SRT protocol reference implementations in C; useful for understanding low-level streaming protocol details that HaishinKit abstracts
• apple/swift-async-algorithms — Official Swift async/concurrency utilities; essential for understanding HaishinKit's strict concurrency patterns and async sequence handling

Add comprehensive unit tests for DebugDescription extensions

The DebugDescription/ folder contains AVAudioFormat, AudioNode, and AudioStreamBasicDescription debug extensions, but there's no corresponding test suite. These utilities are critical for troubleshooting streaming issues. Adding unit tests would ensure debug output remains reliable across iOS/macOS/tvOS/visionOS platforms and catch regressions when audio handling code changes.

• [ ] Create Tests/DebugDescriptionTests/ directory structure
• [ ] Add unit tests for AVAudioFormat+DebugExtension.swift covering various audio formats
• [ ] Add unit tests for AudioNode+DebugExtension.swift testing node hierarchy output
• [ ] Add unit tests for AudioStreamBasicDescription+DebugExtension.swift validating format descriptions
• [ ] Integrate tests into the release.yml workflow to run across all supported platforms

Create platform-specific integration tests in GitHub Actions workflow

The repo supports iOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS but the .github/workflows/ only shows ai-moderator.yml, lock-thread.yml, and release.yml. There's no dedicated workflow for building/testing across all platforms on every PR. Adding matrix builds would catch platform-specific regressions early (e.g., tvOS audio handling differs from iOS).

• [ ] Create .github/workflows/build-test.yml with matrix strategy for [iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS]
• [ ] Configure xcodebuild commands to build Examples for each platform
• [ ] Add SwiftLint check (reference existing .swiftlint.yml and Examples/.swiftlint.yml)
• [ ] Set workflow to trigger on pull_request and push to main branches
• [ ] Update review.yml or create dependent workflow to block merge on build failures

Add API documentation for AudioSourceService and PublishViewModel

Examples/iOS/ contains AudioSourceService.swift and PublishViewModel.swift which handle critical streaming logic (audio capture, publishing state), but lack inline documentation and there's no API reference guide. New contributors struggle to understand the audio pipeline. Adding DocC or comprehensive inline comments would improve onboarding.

• [ ] Add DocC comments to Examples/iOS/AudioSourceService.swift documenting audio capture flow and public methods
• [ ] Add DocC comments to Examples/iOS/PublishViewModel.swift documenting state management and streaming lifecycle
• [ ] Document the relationship between AudioEngineCapture.swift, AudioSourceService.swift, and PublishViewModel.swift in a new docs/AUDIO_PIPELINE.md
• [ ] Add code examples in the docs showing how to initialize audio capture for different use cases
• [ ] Ensure comments follow Swift documentation style for later DocC archive generation

• Add unit tests for DebugDescription extensions (AVAudioFormat+DebugExtension.swift, AudioStreamBasicDescription+DebugExtension.swift, AudioNode+DebugExtension.swift) which currently have no test coverage visible—create Tests/DebugDescriptionTests/ with XCTest cases validating debug string formatting.
• Document AudioSourceService.swift and AudioEngineCapture.swift APIs in RTMPHaishinKit/Sources/Docs.docc/ or add DocC comments to the source files; currently Example code exists but no generated documentation is visible for audio capture patterns.
• Add support for custom metadata/watermark positioning in video mixing: Examples/ shows watermarking capability in README but no example code is present—add a new Example file demonstrating how to overlay text with repositioning controls using the video mixing APIs.

The HaishinKit repository demonstrates reasonable security practices with CI/CD workflows, linting configuration, and dependency management tools (Dependabot). However, the analysis is limited by the partial file structure provided. The main concerns identified are: (1) user-specific Xcode files in version control that should be gitignored, (2) lack of a security policy for responsible disclosure, and (3) inability to assess actual source code for streaming-specific vulnerabilities (RTMP/SRT protocol implementations, TLS/encryption, permission handling). As a streaming library handling sensitive media streams, additional review of network security, encryption implementation, and permission handling is critical but cannot be completed with the provided information.

• Medium · Potential Hardcoded Credentials in Example Files — Examples/Examples.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/. The Examples directory contains user-specific data (xcuserdatad files with developer names like 'shogo.endo' and 'shogo'). While not directly credentials, the presence of user-specific Xcode workspace data in version control could expose developer patterns and potentially sensitive build configurations. Fix: Add xcuserdata directories to .gitignore. Use .gitignore patterns: *.xcuserdatad/, *.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/, and similar Xcode-generated user-specific files should not be committed.
• Low · Missing Security Policy Documentation — Repository root. No SECURITY.md or security policy file is evident in the repository structure. This makes it difficult for security researchers to responsibly report vulnerabilities. Fix: Create a SECURITY.md file documenting the vulnerability disclosure process and security contact information. Follow GitHub's security policy guidelines.
• Low · Incomplete File Structure Analysis — Sources/ or main library directory (not provided). The provided file listing is partial and does not show the main source code (Sources/ or HaishinKit/ directories). Critical security review cannot be completed without analyzing the actual source code for injection vulnerabilities, insecure cryptography, or unsafe network operations. Fix: Perform comprehensive static analysis of all source files, particularly: network communication code (RTMP/SRT implementations), cryptographic operations, input validation, and permission handling.
• Low · No Dependency Lock File Visibility — Package.swift and Package.resolved files. The Package.swift dependencies content was not provided. Without visibility into dependency versions and their security status, potential vulnerable transitive dependencies cannot be assessed. Fix: Review all direct and transitive dependencies for known CVEs using tools like: Swift Package Manager vulnerability scanning, OWASP Dependency-Check, or GitHub Dependabot (already configured in workflows).
• Low · AI Moderator Workflow Configuration — .github/workflows/ai-moderator.yml. The presence of an 'ai-moderator.yml' workflow suggests automated AI-based moderation. This requires careful review of permissions and data handling to ensure no sensitive information is sent to external AI services. Fix: Review the AI moderator configuration to ensure: no sensitive code or credentials are analyzed by external services, appropriate GitHub token scoping, and compliance with privacy policies.
