fix: fail the test run when the server can't start, log ready only once bound

[gmegidish]

Why

Found while testing #92 on the simulator:

• A server that failed to start (bad address, bind failure) was reported as passed: record(_:) swallows every XCTest issue, so xcodebuild exited 0.
• Server is ready was logged before binding, so an address that failed to bind still claimed readiness.
• A normal /shutdown also threw (kqueue kevent(9): Bad file descriptor), because FlyingFox's run() throws once stop() closes the socket. That made a clean shutdown look the same as a failure.
• The README warned about 0.0.0.0 but not ::, which also binds every interface.

What

• /shutdown sets a flag; start() treats errors after a requested shutdown as a clean exit.
• Any other error from start() goes through super.record, so the run fails (TEST EXECUTE FAILED, exit 65).
• Server is ready is logged per listener after waitUntilListening(), and only if it is actually listening.
• README: 0.0.0.0, :: or the Wi-Fi address.

Test plan (iPhone 17 simulator, iOS 26.5)

DEVICEKIT_LISTEN_HOST	Result
unset	127.0.0.1 serves, /shutdown → exit 0, TEST EXECUTE SUCCEEDED
127.0.0.1, ::1	both serve, /shutdown via ::1 stops both → exit 0
127.0.0.1,10.255.255.1	bind fails → loopback torn down, TEST EXECUTE FAILED (65), ready logged only for 127.0.0.1
localhost	inet_pton error → TEST EXECUTE FAILED (65)

• Real device over the CoreDevice tunnel (not tested here)

Note: -collect-test-diagnostics never

Now that a startup failure really fails the test, xcodebuild's default -collect-test-diagnostics on-failure kicks in and gathers a sysdiagnose. On the simulator this stalled for 2+ minutes (2 of 3 runs, also on a clean build), with the runner relaunched and crashing on a missing XCTest.framework in the background. With never it exits 65 in 4–6s, with no crashes. The README recipe now passes it. mobilecli doesn't launch through xcodebuild, so it isn't affected.

Walkthrough

XCTestServer.start() configures routes and starts each listener with readiness logging. It logs listener URLs only after a listener is listening. The /shutdown route marks shutdown as requested before stopping the servers. Listener errors propagate unless shutdown was requested. The UI test records server startup errors. The README documents shutdown, test diagnostics, startup failures, and network exposure warnings.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4fa47

The change makes server startup failures fail the test run and logs readiness only once a listener is bound. No actionable merge-blocking risk is visible in the supplied changes.

- Line 119: Update the README instructions around the xcodebuild
test-without-building invocation so the client request runs while the server is
active: show curl being run from a second terminal, or explain how to background
xcodebuild and wait for /health before sending the request. Do not place curl
after the foreground testRunAutomation() flow, which waits for server shutdown.
