Adds FlowDeck Studio as agent-enabling in agent-testing-qa.

Why it belongs: FlowDeck exists so coding agents can verify their own work on Apple platforms. Through it, agents build and run iOS/macOS apps, drive the simulator (tap, type, scroll, screenshots), stream logs, and run unit and UI tests, with each session isolated in its own Git worktree. Without it, a human has to relay build results and screenshots back to the agent.

First-party evidence (accessed 2026-10-20):

• Agent workflows: https://docs.flowdeck.studio/cli/ai-agents
• Simulator UI automation: https://docs.flowdeck.studio/macos/ui-automation
• Worktree-isolated sessions: https://docs.flowdeck.studio/macos/projects-and-sessions
• Requirements: https://docs.flowdeck.studio/macos/install
• Pricing (paid, 14-day trial): https://flowdeck.studio/pricing

Limitations (Apple Silicon, macOS 26+, paid with no free tier) are stated in the listing. verificationLevel is vendor-confirmed because I'm the developer. npm run validate:content -- --require-submitters passes; the only failing local test is the enrich-preflight shell test, which needs bash 4 (mapfile) and fails on stock macOS bash regardless of this change.

Outcome: meets-policy

Policy assessment

FlowDeck Studio qualifies as agent-enabling / software-application in Testing & QA. Its substantive agent outcome is direct Apple-app verification: coding agents build/run Xcode projects, read failures/logs, run tests and inspect/operate simulators rather than ask a human to relay results. Studio supplies worktree-isolated sessions and includes the CLI; this is not a generic compatibility claim or a thin agent launcher. Project/session state, validation and Git/PR review surfaces further bound the multi-session workflow. The product identity, category, required profile fields, vendor-confirmed provenance and limitations are supported. The submitter identifies themselves as the developer; this is not represented as independent hands-on testing. No duplicate was found on the published site or in another open PR. @bradvin, this listing meets policy and is ready for your inclusion decision.

Evidence checked

All six submitted evidence items returned HTTP 200 at their exact URLs without redirect substitution:

• https://docs.flowdeck.studio/cli/ai-agents — structured agent-facing Apple builds/tests, simulator inspection and operation.
• https://docs.flowdeck.studio/macos/ui-automation — tap, type, scroll and screenshots.
• https://docs.flowdeck.studio/macos/projects-and-sessions — Git-worktree isolation and session switching.
• https://docs.flowdeck.studio/macos/install — Apple Silicon, macOS 26+, Xcode 26+ and existing projects/workspaces; macOS 15 support is temporarily suspended.
• https://flowdeck.studio/pricing — Studio $79/year including CLI; standalone CLI $59/year; both billed yearly with 14-day trials, not an ongoing free tier.
• https://flowdeck.studio/ — named coding agents, existing subscriptions and parallel isolated workspaces/simulators.

The independent contradiction pass also checked CLI/Studio product and install guides, validation, source-control/PR review, CLI licence/update docs, changelog/release surface, security and privacy. Studio and standalone CLI editions and their requirements/pricing are distinguished; bringing an agent subscription does not make Studio free. No public implementation repository is asserted, and no unsupported source-availability/licence or version claim is made. No installation, agent execution, trial activation, payment or live simulator test was performed; reliability remains unbenchmarked.

Reviewer-owned SEO metadata

tools/flowdeck-studio.md

• agentSummary: removed — the preserved short description already supplies the agent build/run/test perspective; the suggested paragraph repeats it and details already in the profile. No replacement paragraph is needed.
• seoTitle: rewritten — "FlowDeck Studio: Build and Test Apple Apps with Agents" Names the documented Apple-app build/test workflow without presenting Studio itself as an autonomous agent.
• seoDescription: rewritten — "Inspect FlowDeck Studio's coding-agent workflow for Xcode projects: build and test Apple apps, automate simulators, and isolate sessions in Git worktrees." Complements the title with evidenced Xcode, simulator and worktree details, not an untested reliability promise.
