As I was reading this, I realized that the ESP32 HomeKit debugging session I had running was taking a while, and this happened:

Me: what are you doing?

Agent: I’m resolving Apple’s private video-resolution lookup table to determine whether iOS 26 supports 320×240 for HomeKit live streaming.

The decompiled source hides the numeric constants, so I:

- Downloaded/extracted the iOS 26.1 arm64e dyld cache to /workspace/tmp/ios26-dyld/.

- Built and installed the read-only apfs-fuse utility needed to mount Apple’s APFS image.

- Planned to extract HomeKitDaemon and decode its resolution table.

Me: Oh, OK. Carry on then

These are weird times.

It's insane, right? Reverse engineering is so much fun, I find myself doing it on random apps so often now
