Take a screenshot of the booted iOS simulator and display it.
## Steps
1. Capture the screenshot from the booted iOS simulator:
```
xcrun simctl io booted screenshot /tmp/ios-screenshot-full.png
```
2. Resize to 800px max dimension for token efficiency (reduces ~90% of tokens vs full 2556px resolution while staying legible):
```
sips -Z 800 /tmp/ios-screenshot-full.png --out /tmp/ios-screenshot.png
```
3. Use the Read tool to display `/tmp/ios-screenshot.png` to the user.
4. Clean up the full-size temporary file:
```
rm /tmp/ios-screenshot-full.png
```
## Error Handling
- If `xcrun simctl io booted screenshot` fails, tell the user no iOS simulator is currently booted and suggest they launch one (e.g. via Xcode or `xcrun simctl boot "iPhone 17 Pro"`).
- If `sips` fails, fall back to displaying the full-size screenshot directly.
