iPadOS Platform

iPadOS-specific development for tablet and productivity experiences.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing iPad patterns
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest iPadOS 26 docs via Context7/Exa
3. mcp__apple-docs__search_apple_docs - Check iPad multitasking patterns

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.
