Kaoru0822andClaude Opus 5.5 9837203234 feat(native): observe function and Objective-C method calls under LLDB
Add observe_native_calls (CLI: observe-native-calls <path> <input-json>). It
launches the active Mach-O as an owned process under `lldb --batch`, stops at
caller-selected functions or Objective-C methods, records each entry and
auto-continues:

- thread, image, symbol, load and file address;
- raw integer argument registers and optional caller frames;
- for methods, the selector read from _cmd and the receiver's dynamic class,
  from LLDB's runtime reader without running target code.

No expression is evaluated and no existing process is attached. The run ends
on exit, max_events or duration_ms; REA then kills the process and confirms
that it is gone. The result also carries exit status, bounded stdout/stderr,
breakpoint resolution with partial coverage for unresolved requests, and
limitations. A target LLDB may not debug fails with a debugger-attach-denied
reason and remediation.

verify:native-calls checks the tool through the CLI and stdio MCP against a
compiled fixture, compares breakpoint addresses with nm, exercises every
outcome, and checks hardened-runtime targets with and without get-task-allow.

"""Bounded native call observation executed inside LLDB's embedded Python.
REA imports this module into `lldb --batch` and runs `rea_trace <config.json>`.
It launches one owned process, stops at the requested functions and
Objective-C methods, records each entry from registers and memory reads only,
continues, and kills the process once it exits, the event limit is reached or
the duration elapses. No expression is evaluated and no target code runs on
the tracer's behalf. The result is written as JSON to the configured path.
