The SDK belongs to the Ch∆In product, not the F∆I vendor namespace (a future Brain client SDK would otherwise collide). Rename the Dart package, entry library, test + example files. Also drop a private project name from a doc comment. dart analyze: clean. Dependents must update their dependency name + package: imports.

chain_client_sdk (Dart)
gRPC client SDK for the Ch∆In hub. Used by F∆I Studio
(Tier-2 generic GUI) and any Tier-3 Dart/Flutter domain app
that wants to talk to a running fai serve.
One of the three SDK families documented in
fai/platform/docs/architecture/sdks.md:
fai-module-sdk(Rust) — flow modulesfai-plugin-sdk(Rust) — Studio pluginschain_client_sdk(Dart) — clients ← this package
Dir / repo carries the _dart / -dart language suffix
(chain_client_sdk_dart / client-sdk-dart); the Dart package
name itself does not (Dart-land doesn't need the suffix).
Status (2026-05-05): scaffold. Public surface (
HubClient,HubEndpoint) is committed; generated proto bindings land in a follow-up commit once the codegen step is wired in. Until then, downstream apps can compile against the stub and Studio uses mock data.
Why a separate SDK package
The platform hub speaks gRPC. Each Dart consumer (Studio plus each Tier-3 domain app) would otherwise re-generate proto bindings independently and write near-identical client boilerplate. This package centralises that work:
- One source of generated proto bindings.
- One typed
HubClientwrapper with helpers. - One place to bump when the wire protocol evolves.

Versioning
Tracks the platform's wire-protocol version, not the platform
binary version. As long as fai:platform@1.x is current, this
SDK stays at 0.x (will move to 1.0 once API stabilises);
when fai:platform@2.0 lands, a 2.x SDK ships in parallel
during the transition.
