Summary

After xcode-ide bridge sync succeeds and tools are proxied, XcodeGlob finds Swift files, but those returned paths are rejected by XcodeRead and RenderPreview with File not found in project structure.

This makes bridge-based preview/read workflows unusable even though connection is healthy.

Environment

• macOS: Darwin 25.3.0
• Xcode: 26.3 (17C529)
• xcodebuildmcp: 2.1.0
• Project config includes xcode-ide and debug: true

Preconditions

Bridge can connect successfully:

• xcode_tools_bridge_status initially: connected=false
• xcode_tools_bridge_sync result:
  • connected: true
  • proxiedToolCount: 20

XcodeListWindows succeeds and returns:

• tabIdentifier: windowtab1
• workspace path points to a local .xcodeproj

Repro steps

1. Find file via bridge proxy:

XcodeGlob({
  "tabIdentifier":"windowtab1",
  "path":"<project-root-group>",
  "pattern":"**/MainTabView.swift"
})

Result includes a concrete path to that file in project-structure format.

2. Try to read same file path returned by XcodeGlob:

XcodeRead({
  "tabIdentifier":"windowtab1",
  "filePath":"<exact-path-returned-by-XcodeGlob>"
})

Observed error:
File not found in project structure: <exact-path-returned-by-XcodeGlob>

3. Try to render preview from same path:

RenderPreview({
  "tabIdentifier":"windowtab1",
  "sourceFilePath":"<exact-path-returned-by-XcodeGlob>",
  "previewDefinitionIndexInFile":0
})

Observed error:
File not found in project structure: <exact-path-returned-by-XcodeGlob>

4. Confirm this is not caused by missing preview definitions:

• Search for #Preview with XcodeGrep.
• Select a file that definitely contains #Preview (e.g. SignInView.swift in one repro).
• RenderPreview still fails with File not found in project structure using the path returned by XcodeGlob.

Expected behavior

Paths returned by XcodeGlob should be directly consumable by XcodeRead and RenderPreview in the same tab/workspace context.

Actual behavior

XcodeGlob returns paths that XcodeRead and RenderPreview reject as not found.

Notes

This is distinct from bridge connection issues: bridge sync/status/list windows all succeed.
