Disabled pairing leaves registry routes
High Severity
Turning pairing off now returns before the empty-routes POST that shouldReRegister is built to send, so the last advertised attach routes stay in the team device registry. Phones can keep discovering this Mac after the user opts out.

Pairing window remints on any defaults
Medium Severity
Any UserDefaults write now calls refresh(), which jumps to .loading and mints a new attach ticket. Unrelated settings or window-state writes can replace the on-screen QR while someone is scanning, against the model’s rule that the code does not regenerate on its own.

Test the publication transition after opt-out.
disabledPairingRejectsLateIrohRoutePublication disables pairing before beginIrohRouteActivation and stageIrohRoute. Both methods return early, so removing the guard from publishIrohRouteIfActive does not affect this test. The enabled test publishes before opt-out. Stage the route while pairing is enabled, then disable pairing before publication.

Publish an empty-route update before returning.
When pairing is disabled after a successful registration, this guard prevents the documented clear transition. The /api/devices endpoint updates the existing (deviceId, tag) instance when it receives routes: []; clearing only lastRegistration leaves the old routes remotely visible. Send one authenticated empty-route POST, then clear the local deduplication state. Add a test that registers routes, disables pairing, and asserts exactly one clear.

Refresh only when the pairing setting changes.
An unrelated UserDefaults.standard change reaches MobilePairingModel.refresh(). While pairing is enabled, refresh() calls createAttachTicket and publishes a new state.ready, so MobilePairingView replaces the displayed QR code. refreshGeneration prevents stale results but does not deduplicate ticket creation. Store the last MobileHostService.isListeningEnabled value in MobilePairingModel, and mint a ticket only when that value changes.

Makes iOS pairing an explicit Mac opt-in:
mobile.iOSPairingHost.enabledis now the single gate for every iOS pairing transport, defaulting off in all builds. Previously, dev/nightly builds enabled pairing by default and Iroh networking started for every signed-in Mac.Behavior
Written for commit 63132cd. Summary will update on new commits.
Note
Medium Risk
Changes default Mac network exposure and gates presence/registry/Iroh lifecycle; incorrect guards could break pairing for opted-in users or leak routes when disabled.
Overview
iOS pairing on Mac is now off by default in every build (including DEBUG), and the Enable iOS pairing setting is the single switch for legacy TCP pairing, Iroh/IRX endpoints, route publication, and related cloud behavior.
Turning pairing off tears down or blocks listeners and endpoints, clears advertised routes, and stops device registry, presence heartbeats, paired-Mac backup publishing, and connectivity invalidation when pairing is disabled. Re-enabling goes through the normal startup path; registry dedup is reset so a disabled Mac cannot be re-registered from stale callbacks.
The pairing window no longer flips the setting on automatically: it shows a pairing disabled empty state with Open Settings, and refreshes when UserDefaults change. Settings copy now describes pairing and Iroh together; diagnostics can stay visible while an endpoint drains after disable. App activation calls
MobileHostService.syncToSettings()so sleep/wake reconciles opt-in state.IRX/Iroh paths add fail-closed checks during in-flight activation, accept loops, and route staging so disabling mid-setup cannot resurrect networking.
