iPhone update Why So, there is an update due for the phone. For work, I have product apps that we test on our phones, so updating is sort of needed. Problem - phone is a little old and ‘only’ has 64 GB of storage. 13.4GB free required to perform the update.

LLM tools suggest options that cannot be found. Could be Cloudflare updates. Setting output folder requires the wrangler.jsonc At this point the original project appears to actually be building from GH A second project set up with GH integration from the beginning is therefore not needed (added from scratch as expected settings like ‘Framework’ not seen) Maybe RTFM rather than chat with a bot…
