Research direction

Start with the linked storage and FAQ pages, reviewing the sections on usage, the iOS simulator, and the VS Code remote-debugging plugin. Then inspect the community Ionic Native plugin docs for Cordova assumptions; done means the listed documentation consistently reflects Capacitor usage and no longer directs readers through outdated Cordova CLI commands.
