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/calimarkus/JDStatusBarNotification 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.

JDStatusBarNotification is a Swift library that displays customizable, interactive notifications anchored below the iOS status bar/notch/Dynamic Island. It provides drag-to-dismiss gestures, progress bars, activity indicators, custom views (UIView and SwiftUI), and multiple built-in styles (pill-shaped and full-width) with adaptive layouts that work across device orientations and safe area configurations. Layered architecture: JDStatusBarNotification/Public/ exports the public API (NotificationPresenter, styles), while JDStatusBarNotification/Private/ contains implementation: NotificationWindow (UIWindow subclass for overlay), NotificationViewController (view controller lifecycle), NotificationView (layout logic), NotificationAnimator (gesture and animation state), and StyleCache (caching layer). ExampleProject demonstrates three integration patterns: classic AppDelegate, SceneDelegate, and pure SwiftUI with custom style editor.

iOS app developers (Swift and Objective-C) who need production-grade status bar notifications with rich customization without building dismissal logic, animation state machines, or safe-area-aware layout code from scratch.

Production-ready and actively maintained. The codebase is 162KB Swift with well-organized public/private separation, includes comprehensive documentation in JDStatusBarNotification.docc/, supports multiple installation methods (SPM, CocoaPods, Carthage), and has multiple example projects demonstrating SwiftUI, AppDelegate, and SceneDelegate integration patterns.

Low risk: single maintainer (calimarkus) but the scope is well-defined and stable—notifications are a UI feature with limited API surface. No heavy dependency list visible in repo structure. Main risk is iOS version changes (must track safe area APIs for notch/Island), and the library's reliance on UIWindow manipulation for overlay presentation which can conflict with other window management libraries.

Recent activity includes SwiftUI modifier exports and style customization enhancements (see ObservableCustomStyle.swift in ExampleProject suggesting Observable pattern adoption). The docc documentation structure is being actively maintained with guides on GettingStarted, NotificationPresenter, StatusBarNotificationStyle, and SwiftUIModifiers.

git clone https://github.com/calimarkus/JDStatusBarNotification.git
cd JDStatusBarNotification
open JDStatusBarNotification.xcodeproj
# Select 'ExampleApp (SwiftUI)' scheme and press Cmd+R to run

Daily commands: Open ExampleProject in Xcode, select one of three schemes: 'ExampleApp (SwiftUI)', 'ExampleApp (AppDelegate)', or 'ExampleApp (SceneDelegate)', then Cmd+R. The SwiftUI example includes a live StyleEditorScreen for experimenting with colors, fonts, and animations.

• JDStatusBarNotification/Private/NotificationWindow.swift: Core UIWindow subclass that manages overlay presentation and safe area positioning for notch/Island/landscape
• JDStatusBarNotification/Private/NotificationView.swift: Implements adaptive layout logic for pill vs full-width, handles custom views (UIView/SwiftUI), and manages progress/activity indicator layout
• JDStatusBarNotification/Private/NotificationAnimator.swift: Orchestrates drag-to-dismiss gestures, slide animations, and state machine for interruption handling
• JDStatusBarNotification/Private/StyleCache.swift: Performance optimization layer that caches style computations to avoid recalculating colors/fonts per frame
• ExampleProject/StyleEditorScreen.swift: Live UI demonstrating every customizable parameter (fonts, colors, layout modes); essential reference for understanding style API surface
• JDStatusBarNotification.docc/StatusBarNotificationStyle.md: Authority on style customization API; defines all configurable properties and their effects

Start in JDStatusBarNotification/Public/ to understand the public API (NotificationPresenter.swift and styles). For layout changes, edit JDStatusBarNotification/Private/NotificationView.swift. For animation/gesture behavior, modify NotificationAnimator.swift. For new styles, extend StatusBarNotificationStyle.swift or copy ExampleStyle.swift pattern from ExampleProject/.

NotificationWindow uses keyWindow which is deprecated in iOS 13+; code must handle SceneDelegate contexts where multiple windows exist. Drag-to-dismiss uses UIDynamicBehavior internally—check NotificationAnimator.swift for spring constant assumptions. Safe area insets are cached at window creation time; rotation mid-animation may require recalculation (see DiscoveryHelper.swift). Custom SwiftUI views must explicitly manage their size proposals or layout will collapse.

• Safe Area Insets — JDStatusBarNotification must adapt layout for notch, Dynamic Island, and landscape safe areas; DiscoveryHelper.swift and NotificationWindow.swift rely on UIScene.windows and safeAreaInsets API to position correctly
• UIWindow Overlay Pattern — Core architectural pattern: NotificationWindow is a transparent UIWindow placed above the app window to render notifications; understanding window layering and event handling is critical to modifying presentation logic
• UIDynamicBehavior — NotificationAnimator uses UISnapBehavior for spring-physics when user drags notification to dismiss; understanding Dynamics helps modify gesture response and snap-to-position thresholds
• CABasicAnimation — Slide-in, fade, and rotation animations for notification presentation are layer-based; CABasicAnimation knowledge helps customize timing curves and duration properties visible in StyleCache
• UIGestureRecognizer State Machine — Drag-to-dismiss is implemented as a UIPanGestureRecognizer with state tracking; understanding .began, .changed, .ended, .cancelled states is essential for the dismissal interrupt logic in NotificationAnimator
• SwiftUI View Bridging (@ViewBuilder, UIViewRepresentable) — Custom views parameter in NotificationView supports both UIView and SwiftUI View; the library uses view bridging to embed SwiftUI into UIKit window—key to understanding ExampleProject's custom view examples
• DocC Documentation Catalogs — This repo uses Swift DocC (.docc folder structure) for API docs; understanding how to write .md files with symbol links and tutorials helps maintain and extend the documentation

• SDCAlertView/SDCAlertView — Alternative alert/notification UI library with similar customization goals; good reference for comparison of dismissal patterns
• toast-swift/Toast-Swift — Toast notification library solving similar overlay-presentation problem; reference for alternative safe-area and animation strategies
• TSMessages/TSMessages — Predecessor UIKit notification library (Objective-C era); JDStatusBarNotification modernizes this approach for Swift/SwiftUI
• pointfreeco/swift-composable-architecture — If building state-heavy notification orchestration, TCA provides patterns for managing notification queue and lifecycle
• apple/swift-docc — This repo uses DocC for documentation; reference implementation for API docs generation used here

To work on one of these in Claude Code or Cursor, paste: Implement the "<title>" PR idea from CLAUDE.md, working through the checklist as the task list.

Add comprehensive unit tests for NotificationAnimator.swift

The Tests directory only contains API_tests.m and SwiftAPI_tests.swift with basic API coverage. NotificationAnimator.swift handles critical animation logic (timing, transitions, interruptions) but lacks dedicated unit tests. This is high-value because animation bugs are hard to catch in manual testing and affect user experience across all notification presentations.

• [ ] Create Tests/NotificationAnimatorTests.swift
• [ ] Add tests for animation state transitions (show/hide/dismiss)
• [ ] Add tests for drag-to-dismiss interruption scenarios
• [ ] Add tests for animation timing with different duration configurations
• [ ] Test animation cancellation and cleanup to prevent memory leaks
• [ ] Add the test file to the Tests.xcscheme

Add GitHub Actions workflow for automated testing and SwiftPM validation

The repo supports both CocoaPods (JDStatusBarNotification.podspec) and SwiftPM (Package.swift) but has no CI/CD pipeline. With multiple example app schemes, test targets, and Objective-C compatibility, automated validation on every PR would catch regressions early. This is specific because the .spi.yml exists but no corresponding GitHub Actions workflow exists.

• [ ] Create .github/workflows/swift-tests.yml
• [ ] Add job to run Tests.xcscheme on iOS 16+ simulator
• [ ] Add job to validate SwiftPM build with swift build
• [ ] Add job to validate CocoaPods with pod lib lint
• [ ] Add job to build all three example app schemes
• [ ] Ensure Objective-C compatibility is tested (API_tests.m runs)

Document the StyleCache.swift caching mechanism and add StyleCache unit tests

StyleCache.swift is a private utility that likely handles style performance optimization, but there's no documentation in JDStatusBarNotification.docc explaining how style caching works or when to invalidate it. Combined with missing unit tests, this creates maintenance risk. This is valuable because custom style users need to understand caching behavior to avoid bugs.

• [ ] Create Tests/StyleCacheTests.swift with tests for cache hit/miss scenarios
• [ ] Add tests for cache invalidation when styles are modified
• [ ] Add tests for thread safety if applicable
• [ ] Create JDStatusBarNotification.docc/StyleCaching.md documentation
• [ ] Document cache behavior in NotificationStyle.swift docstring
• [ ] Add example in ExampleProject showing custom style with cache considerations

• Add unit tests for NotificationAnimator.swift's gesture velocity calculations and snap-to-dismiss thresholds—currently no test coverage visible for the 'tap-to-hold' timing logic mentioned in README
• Document the StyleCache invalidation strategy in JDStatusBarNotification.docc/—no explanation exists for when/how to clear the cache when styles are updated at runtime (see ObservableCustomStyle.swift pattern)
• Create a Combine example in ExampleProject (parallel to ObservableCustomStyle.swift's Swift Observation pattern) showing how to bind notification state to a PassthroughSubject for older iOS versions

This is a well-structured Swift/Objective-C UI notification library with no critical security vulnerabilities identified. The codebase appears to be a UI component library focused on presentation logic rather than handling sensitive data or external inputs. Primary concerns are legacy Objective-C code maintenance and ensuring dependencies are properly locked. The library demonstrates good security practices by being primarily focused on UI rendering without apparent injection risks, hardcoded credentials, or misconfigurations. Recommendations focus on modernization and dependency management best practices.

• Low · Objective-C Legacy Code Present — ExampleProject/SBAppDelegate.h, ExampleProject/SBAppDelegate.m, ExampleProject/SBExampleViewController.h, ExampleProject/SBExampleViewController.m, ExampleProject/SBSceneDelegate.h, ExampleProject/SBSceneDelegate.m, Tests/API_tests.m, ExampleProject/main.m. The codebase contains Objective-C files (SBAppDelegate.m, SBAppDelegate.h, SBExampleViewController.m, SBExampleViewController.h, SBSceneDelegate.m, SBSceneDelegate.h, API_tests.m, main.m) alongside Swift code. While not a direct vulnerability, Objective-C runtime is more susceptible to certain types of attacks and memory safety issues compared to Swift. Fix: Consider migrating Objective-C code to Swift for improved memory safety and modern language features. If legacy support is necessary, ensure strict code review and security testing for Objective-C components.
• Low · Potential Information Disclosure via Documentation — JDStatusBarNotification.docc/, docs/ directory. The repository contains extensive documentation and generated docs files that could potentially expose implementation details. While documentation is important, sensitive implementation patterns should be carefully reviewed. Fix: Review documentation files to ensure no sensitive implementation details, internal APIs, or security-critical information is exposed. Maintain a clear separation between public API documentation and internal implementation details.
• Low · Missing Dependency Lock File — Package.swift, Package.resolved (missing from file listing). The Package.swift file structure is present but no visible lock file (Package.resolved) is shown in the provided file listing. This could indicate potential supply chain risks if dependencies are not pinned to specific versions. Fix: Ensure Package.resolved is committed to version control to lock dependency versions. Regularly audit dependencies for known vulnerabilities using tools like 'swift package update' with security advisories.
