Research direction

Start by reproducing the refresh failure over Wi-Fi on macOS 15.1 with an iPhone running iOS 18.1, then compare it with the working USB path. Check the AltStore and AltServer interaction during refresh and verify whether the reported error 1200 is consistently produced. Done means apps refresh successfully over Wi-Fi while installation over Wi-Fi continues to work.
