GADS version: v4.3.2
Host OS: macOS, Apple Silicon Mac mini
Device: iPhone, iOS 26.4.2
WDA source: shamanec/WebDriverAgent, commit 10af3a6c

What happens:
WDA installs successfully (InstallComplete), but provider immediately gets:
could not connect to phone err="Failed connecting to service, error code:3" phonePort=8100
Failed to run WebDriverAgent due to an error
Provider resets device and loops endlessly.
What was tried:

Built WDA from appium/WebDriverAgent v13.1.0 same result
Built WDA from shamanec/WebDriverAgent latest same result
Profile is trusted on device
Ports 8100, 9100, 9500 are forwarded

WDA process starts but HTTP server on port 8100 never becomes available before process is killed.
