Two follow-ups to the May-2026 trust pass.
flutter_markdown_plus migration:
- pubspec swaps `flutter_markdown ^0.7.7` (discontinued
upstream) for `flutter_markdown_plus ^1.0.3`, the
actively-maintained fork. API surface
(MarkdownStyleSheet, Markdown, MarkdownBody) is
unchanged — the four import sites in welcome, store,
flow_output, and theme.dart get an updated package
string and that's it.
- All Studio analyzer + unit-test suites stay green.
Integration test scaffold:
- New `test/integration/hub_fixture.dart` boots a real
`fai serve` subprocess on a free port against a temp
FAI_DATA_DIR, polls until Healthy, exposes a ready
HubClient. Idempotent teardown wipes the temp dir.
- Resolves the `fai` binary from PATH first, then from
`../fai_platform/target/release/fai`. When neither
exists, the fixture calls `markTestSkipped` with a
clear message — fresh checkouts don't fail.
- One canonical test in `capabilities_test.dart` asserts
on the bug class the May trust pass surfaced: that
`system.approval` appears in `list_capabilities` with
`kind=builtin` so Studio's missing-deps check never
tries to install it. Plus a contract-shape test that
every cap's `kind` is one of the three known wire
values.
- README documents the cold-start gotcha (first
`fai serve` per machine takes ~30s to build the
curated-model DB) plus the manual warmup recipe.
Not in CI yet — wiring needs the platform build job to
publish `fai` as a CI artifact for downstream consumption.
Deferred until enough integration tests exist to justify
the CI minutes.

Second half of the May-2026 trust pass. Drops the wall of
gRPC trailers from every error surface and makes the Store
honest about what is and isn't installable.
Friendly errors:
- New `friendlyError(Object, AppLocalizations)` mapper turns
GrpcError + arbitrary throwables into a localised headline,
optional recovery hint, and a verbatim detail string kept
behind a "Show details" expander. Duck-typed on `.code` /
`.message` so Studio doesn't have to depend on package:grpc
directly.
- `FaiErrorBox` gains an `error:` constructor that runs the
mapper. Every call site that used to render
`snap.error.toString()` (flows, welcome, store) switches to
it.
- 9 .arb entries per locale cover the gRPC codes we actually
emit (INVALID_ARGUMENT, NOT_FOUND, ALREADY_EXISTS,
PERMISSION_DENIED, FAILED_PRECONDITION, INTERNAL,
UNAVAILABLE, UNAUTHENTICATED) plus copy/details affordances.
- `test/friendly_error_test.dart` — 6 unit tests for the
mapper. Covers the mapping table, locale-switching, and the
non-gRPC fallback so future regressions show up in CI.
Capability discovery:
- New `HubService.allCapabilities()` reads the kind-aware
capability list (wasm + builtin + federated) and returns a
Dart-side `CapabilityInfo` value type. The flow page's
missing-dependency check uses it so `system.approval` and
federated MCP/n8n tools count as "available" — fixes the
Run button staying disabled forever.
- `HubService.listModules()` filters to kind=wasm so the
Modules page doesn't sprout synthetic "system" entries that
the operator can't uninstall.
Store clarity:
- New "Installable only" filter, on by default. Roughly 2/3
of seed entries currently carry `status: planned`; the
default view stops being noise.
- Featured-strip cards for planned modules now show a
"Coming soon" pill instead of an empty action area.
- Main-grid cards for non-installable modules dim to 60%
opacity so the eye lands on actionable cards first.
- Detail-sheet "Nicht installierbar" tooltip → inline hint
box. The reason is visible without hovering.
MCP localisation:
- `_kMcpSuggestions` no longer holds 11 hardcoded English
description strings. The `description` field is replaced
with a `resolveDescription(AppLocalizations)` lookup that
switches on the suggestion `name` to read the matching
`mcpSuggestion*Desc` .arb key. EN + DE shipped.
- New `FaiEnBadge` widget renders a small `[EN]` pill when
the active locale isn't English. Used next to MCP /
federated store entries' tagline + description because
the server supplies them in English and we can't translate
on the fly yet — the badge is the honest signal until the
planned `studio.translate` plugin lands.
Plus housekeeping: removed the unused `_keepImport` lint
escape in the test and the dangling library doc-comment in
`format.dart`.

Documentation system (the original "whole docs system is broken"
complaint):
- Studio reads inline docs from disk via the new
getInstalledModuleDocs RPC. No network, no auth, no provider
lock-in.
- store.dart probes for MODULE.md eagerly when a module-detail
sheet opens (a single file stat). The Documentation section
only renders when the bundle actually shipped docs.
- Shared FaiTheme.markdownStyle helper used by Welcome's
DocReaderSheet and Store's DocsPanel so every inline doc
reads in the same typography. The shared style forces
code.backgroundColor = transparent to suppress the per-span
bands flutter_markdown's default code style draws on dark
themes.
Flow run dialog:
- Run-button gating now strips the @version suffix from
installed capabilities before the contains() check. Without
this fix the button stayed disabled for every flow with
dependencies, even after a successful install.
- Studio derives a MIME type from the picked file's extension
(small per-suffix map; .pdf, .docx, .txt, .json, ...) and
forwards it to the hub. Fixes "unsupported MIME type:
application/octet-stream" from text.extract.
- Dialog title tracks the future's state: running -> "extract
laeuft", success -> "extract -- Ergebnis", failure ->
"extract -- fehlgeschlagen".
- Output rendering moved from String stringification to a
sealed FlowOutput type (Text / Json / Bytes / File / Unknown).
A new FaiFlowOutput widget dispatches per variant: markdown
for text/markdown (heuristic), pretty JSON for proto Struct,
inline image preview + Save-As for bytes, Open for file URIs.
Byte sizes:
- New humanBytes() helper renders 23.3 kB / 1.04 MB style values
with three significant digits, matching Finder / GNOME Files.
Wired into flow-card pills, picked-file readouts, and the
bytes-payload preview line.

_DocReaderSheetState.initState() called _load(), which
synchronously calls Localizations.localeOf(context) before any
await. That triggers dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType<
_LocalizationsScope>() in initState(), which Flutter forbids
because InheritedWidget wiring is not finished yet.
Symptom (clicking a doc card in Welcome):
dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType<_LocalizationsScope>()
or dependOnInheritedElement() was called before
_DocReaderSheetState.initState() completed.
Fix: defer _load() to didChangeDependencies(), which runs
after initState() and after InheritedWidget hookup. Gate on
_content == null so it runs exactly once per widget lifetime
(didChangeDependencies can also fire on later dependency
changes; we only want the first load).

The welcome checklist's "Install a text module" item used:
m.any((x) => x.name.startsWith('text.'))
But ModuleSummary.name is the module identifier (text-extract,
text-summarize, …), not the capability identifier (text.extract,
text.summarize, …). The check never matched even when several
text-* modules were installed — Stefan saw the item pending with
4 text capabilities live.
Fix: check capability names instead, which carry the dot-namespace:
m.any((x) => x.capabilities.any((c) => c.startsWith('text.')))
Semantically aligned with the onboarding intent ("any text.*
capability available").

Four UX threads stitched into one commit. Each pulls Studio
toward Stefan's "zero-learning-curve" goal — the feedback
that earned its own memory entry.
1. Flow-Runnability-Indikator
─────────────────────────
The Flows tab now fetches `listFlows` and `listModules`
in parallel. Each card compares the flow's
`requiredCapabilities` against the installed-modules'
capability set; rows with missing modules show a "Needs:
text.extract@^0" red pill row beneath the path and have
their Run button greyed out + tooltip
"Install the missing modules first." Operators stop
hitting Run → cryptic hub error → frustration.
2. Welcome-Checklist Celebration
─────────────────────────────
Once all four checklist signals flip to done, an
`_AllDoneCelebration` card replaces the bare
"All four steps complete" + Hide button. Three concrete
next-threads with action buttons: "Read the audit log",
"Set up the daily Today story" (opens the Flows / Today
doc inline via `_DocReaderSheet`), and "Build your own
module" (opens the architecture doc). Operator who just
got set up sees what to do next instead of an empty
"what now?" feeling.
3. Audit-Page Time-Bucket Headers + Flow-Run Detail
────────────────────────────────────────────────
The flat event list grows tiny "TODAY / YESTERDAY /
EARLIER THIS WEEK / OLDER" section headers — bucket is
computed in the operator's local timezone so an event at
23:55 yesterday in Berlin doesn't end up in "today"
because UTC happened to spill into a new day.
Plus: the event-detail dialog gains a "View flow run"
action when the picked event has a `flow_execution`. It
opens a drill-down that lists every event in the
already-fetched 100-event window sharing the same
execution id, sorted ascending — the operator reads the
run from step.started top to flow.completed bottom.
4. Approvals-Batch-Aktionen
────────────────────────
Each pending approval card grows a checkbox. When ≥1
selected, a floating action bar appears at the bottom
with "N selected · Select all · Clear · Reject all ·
Approve all". The parent loops sequentially through the
per-record SDK calls so a partial failure produces
"X done, Y failed" instead of a confusing all-or-nothing
rollback. Reject prompts for a reason once and applies
to the whole picked set.
13 new ARB keys cover the strings the four features
needed. Studio's tests stay green.

Three concrete fixes against today's user feedback.
- Flows that take binary inputs (extract / extract-summarize /
…) work from the Flows tab. The run-flow input dialog now
accepts the same `@/path/to/file` syntax `fai run --input`
uses on the CLI: any value beginning with `@` is read as
bytes and sent as a binary Payload; plain values still flow
through as text. The dialog hint copy and the example
placeholder reflect the new syntax. File-read failures
surface as a SnackBar before the run dialog opens, so a
typo in the path doesn't reach the hub. Threaded through
`_FlowRunDialog` and `HubService.runSavedFlow`, which both
carry separate `textInputs` and `fileInputs` maps now and
forward to the SDK's mixed-mode runSavedFlow (v0.14.0).
- The Welcome doc-reader's error path uses `FaiErrorBox` so
the actual underlying error is selectable + copy-to-
clipboard via the existing widget. Plus the loader throws
a richer error string that names *both* attempted asset
paths (`<slug>_<lang>.md` and the EN fallback) and the
underlying exception each, so the operator can paste a
diagnostic into a chat without us having to ship a
separate "how to read Flutter asset errors" doc.
- Doctor's empty Services panel had a horizontal RenderFlex
overflow at narrow widths because the long mono-spaced
hint ("add to ~/.fai/config.yaml under services:") and
the leading icon+text both demanded full intrinsic width
in a single Row. Now wraps via a `Wrap` widget so the
hint flows to a second line on narrow viewports and stays
in the same row when there's space.

Three fixes against the v0.39.0 user feedback.
- Layout exception "BoxConstraints forces an infinite
height". `_PillarRow`'s wide-window path used
`Row(crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.stretch)`
inside a `Column` inside a `SingleChildScrollView` — Row
inherits unbounded height, can't stretch to anything,
Flutter throws. Wrapped the Row in `IntrinsicHeight` so
the Row's height is bounded to the tallest child first.
Same shape `_DocsRow`'s narrow-window path was triggering
with `Wrap` + `SizedBox(width: double.infinity)` — replaced
with a plain `Column` for that path; the wide path keeps
the Wrap with the proper finite cardWidth.
- Dropped the "WIE ES ZUSAMMENPASST" / "HOW IT FITS
TOGETHER" section header. Operator-feedback was that the
label sounded like a question without an answer. The hero
already establishes the page; the three Hub/Module/Flow
cards are self-explaining beneath it. Header was visual
clutter and the underlying ARB keys are gone.
- Reordered the sidebar: Welcome, **Store**, Doctor, Flows,
Audit, Approvals. Store is the operator's daily-use
surface and belongs above Doctor (which is a diagnostics
page). Welcome stays slot 0 as the first-launch landing.

Final slice of the Welcome surface. Four steps that prove
the operator has the basic loop wired up; each step is
a live probe against the running hub, no manual ticks.
The four checked signals:
1. System AI configured
→ `HubService.systemAiStatus().enabled`
2. Public capability source added
→ `listMcpClients()` returns at least one entry
3. Text module installed
→ `listModules()` contains a name starting with `text.`
4. Saved flow run
→ any `flow.completed` event in the last 100 audit
events
All four probes fire in parallel from `_OnboardingChecklist`'s
`_refresh()`. Failures stay false (catchError) so a hub that
is briefly unreachable doesn't blank the whole row — the
operator hits the explicit Refresh icon to retry.
UX:
- Renders between hero and pillars so the actionable path
beats the educational content for screen real estate.
- Each row: status icon (○ pending / ✓ done) + title +
one-line hint pointing the operator at the right Studio
surface + status pill.
- Done rows strike-through the title and dim it; pending
rows stay full-strength.
- When all four flip to done, an "All four steps complete"
footer appears with a `Hide checklist` button. Clicking
persists `welcome.checklist.dismissed = true` via
SharedPreferences; the section is gone for good (we don't
re-nag operators who chose a non-default path).
15 new ARB keys for the section header, body, four rows
plus done/pending pills, all-done footer, dismiss /
refresh / refreshing button labels.
Three-phase plan from `docs/landing-page-design.md` is now
fully shipped: Phase A scaffolding (v0.37.0), Phase B
embedded doc reader (v0.38.0), Phase C live checklist
(v0.39.0).

Second slice of the Welcome surface. Operator-facing
documentation now lives inside Studio as bundled assets and
renders inline via a modal sheet — no browser, no external
link, air-gap-tauglich.
- Four operator-readable explainers under `assets/docs/`,
each with an EN + DE pair:
architecture[_de].md — Hub / Module / Flow + how they fit
security[_de].md — sandbox model, declared perms,
operator ceiling
audit[_de].md — hash-chained log, WORM-1 mechanics,
`fai admin verify-events`
flows[_de].md — flow YAML, templating reference,
extract→summarize example
These are short (≈ 300-500 words each), operator-shaped
prose. Not copies of the architecture docs in
fai_platform/docs/architecture/ — those are
contributor-dense.
- pubspec.yaml declares `assets/docs/` so the markdown ships
inside the Studio binary. Air-gap deployments read them
with no network access.
- New `_DocReaderSheet` modal: 85 %-of-viewport bottom sheet,
drag handle + title bar with the doc icon and close button,
scrollable Markdown body styled to match Studio chrome.
Loads `assets/docs/<slug>_<locale>.md` first, falls back to
the EN file. Locale comes from
`Localizations.localeOf(context)`.
- `_DocsRow` on the Welcome page sits below the trust-posture
deck. Two-column grid on ≥ 640 dp, single column below.
Each card is icon + title + one-line blurb + chevron;
click opens the reader sheet for that slug.
- 12 new ARB keys for the docs section (header, blurb, four
card titles + blurbs, close button, error message).
- 4 new icons reused: `account_tree_outlined` (architecture),
`shield_outlined` (security), `verified_outlined` (audit),
`alt_route_outlined` (flows).
Implements Phase B of `docs/landing-page-design.md`. Phase C
(live getting-started checklist with persistent state) is the
last remaining slice.

First slice of the new sidebar destination outlined in
docs/landing-page-design.md. Static content only — embedded
docs (Phase B) and the live getting-started checklist
(Phase C) follow.
Phase A:
- New `WelcomePage` at `lib/pages/welcome.dart`, registered
as sidebar slot 0 above Doctor. Default selectedIndex stays
0, so a fresh launch lands on Welcome.
- Hero card: gradient backdrop matching the Today-Hero in the
store, F∆I Platform headline, subtitle taken from CLAUDE.md
("deterministic workflow engine for AI-assisted document
processing in regulated environments").
- Three-pillar row "Hub / Module / Flow" — operator-readable
prose, not architecture-doc dense. Stacks to a column under
640 dp window width so card text never gets cropped.
- Trust-posture deck — "Sandbox by default", "Tamper-evident
audit log", "Air-gap ready". Same content that used to
rotate as carousel slides in the store; reading them as a
single deck with full prose works better than rotating
through fragments.
- AppBar follows the same `titleSpacing: FaiSpace.xl`
alignment as the Store so the title sits flush with the
body padding.
- 13 new ARB keys for the page content (EN + DE).
Smoke test now expects "Welcome" in the navigation rail; the
existing `Doctor / Store / Flows / Audit / Approvals`
expectations stay unchanged.
