 The provider (`test/helpers/iosSimulator.ts`) drives the simulator with `simctl` alone - Safari there is opened with `simctl openurl` and reports back over the websocket Vitest already opens, so no WebDriver or Appium stack is involved. That also means nothing in the suite can drive the page: keep the tests free of Vitest's browser locators and `userEvent`, which this provider does not implement.
 
-Every environment gates CI. Two of them deviate from the rest in ways that are the runtime's doing rather than ours, and those tests are asserted as known failures with `test.fails` rather than skipped or excluded, so each one turns red - prompting removal of the workaround - once the runtime is fixed:
+Use `test.fails` for runtime bugs when a future fix must turn the test red and prompt removal of the workaround:
 
 - **workerd**, seven of the `on*` handler tests. Its `EventTarget` dispatches `on<type>` handler properties itself, on top of the `addEventListener` call our `on*` setters make, so those handlers fire more than once, assigning `null` only removes one registration, and they fire ahead of listeners registered before them ([cloudflare/workerd#6022](https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/issues/6022)). The two `on*` tests that register a single handler and check that it fired are unaffected and run normally.
 - **happy-dom**, the four cross-origin redirect tests. It does not strip `Authorization` when a request is redirected to a different origin, as [the fetch spec requires](https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-redirect-fetch).
 
+For Safari/WebKit, skip only the non-ASCII `Last-Event-ID` round-trip cases. Keep the Unicode parsing and header-construction assertions active. Document this limitation in the README.
+
 The per-runtime message pattern in the extended-properties test is the other place runtimes differ: a refused connection is reported as `fetch failed` on Node, `connect ECONNREFUSED …` under happy-dom, `Network connection lost.` on workerd, and something different again in each browser engine. That one is only wording, so the pattern accepts all of them.
 
 The browser suite is the one place where the endpoints are not served by a standalone server. Vitest serves the test page from its own Vite server, so the endpoints are mounted onto that same server (`test/helpers/ssePlugin.ts`) to keep the page and the endpoints same-origin. Serving them separately would make every request cross-origin and silently change what the CORS, cookie and redirect tests actually assert.

+### Safari and WebKit
+
+Safari/WebKit encodes non-ASCII `Last-Event-ID` header values as UTF-8 a second time, so the server receives a different ID on reconnect. This affects accented characters, currency symbols and emoji. Event data and `MessageEvent.lastEventId` retain their original Unicode values.
+
+For the widest client compatibility, we recommend that servers use ASCII-only values in the event stream's `id` field. See [WebKit's header encoding](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/main/Source/WebCore/platform/network/cf/ResourceRequestCFNet.h#L76-L85) for the underlying behavior.

 ### Cloudflare Workers
 
 Cloudflare Workers require `compatibilityDate: '2024-11-11'` or later, and `addEventListener()` instead of the `onmessage`, `onopen` and `onerror` properties.

 workerd also drops `origin` and `lastEventId` from the `MessageEvent` constructor. This module assigns them itself, so both are correct on Workers today; the workaround goes away once [workerd#6995](https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd/pull/6995) lands.
 
+Workers' native `fetch` encodes header values as UTF-8 itself. This module passes it the original event ID to avoid encoding twice. Custom `fetch` implementations receive a UTF-8 byte string; wrappers that forward to Workers' native `fetch` must decode `Last-Event-ID` back to Unicode first.
