## Phase 1: Recording

### Starting a Recording

1. Open your UI test file in Xcode
2. Place cursor inside a test method
3. **Debug → Record UI Automation** (or use the record button)
4. App launches in Simulator
5. Perform interactions - Xcode generates code
6. Stop recording when done

### What Gets Recorded

- **Taps** on buttons, cells, controls
- **Text input** into text fields
- **Swipes** and scrolling
- **Gestures** (pinch, rotate)
- **Hardware button presses** (Home, volume)

### Generated Code Example

```swift
// Xcode generates this from your interactions
func testLoginFlow() {
    let app = XCUIApplication()
    app.launch()

    // Recorded: Tap email field, type email
    app.textFields["Email"].tap()
    app.textFields["Email"].typeText("user@example.com")

    // Recorded: Tap password field, type password
    app.secureTextFields["Password"].tap()
    app.secureTex
