What's Wrong?

The MCP Xcode Tools RunAllTests command consistently times out or returns "No result" when executing all 453 tests in the ForesightTests target, despite all tests passing successfully when:

  • Run individually via MCP RunSomeTests
  • Run in small groups via MCP RunSomeTests
  • Run via xcodebuild command line
  • Run via Xcode CMD-U interface

This appears to be a timeout or performance limitation in the MCP tool infrastructure, not an issue with the test suite itself.

What Should Happen?

The MCP Xcode Tools RunAllTests command should execute all 453 tests in the app tests target.
