Sweeping pass against six user reports collected this session.
1. "Capabilities ist nicht deutsch, Chain auch nicht."
The DE locale still leaked English vocabulary. Replaced
"Capabilities" → "Fähigkeiten" and "Chain" / "Hash-Chain"
→ "Kette" / "Hash-Kette" everywhere — store search hint,
recommended-source body, federated toast, doctor summary
chain row, modules panel summary, MCP / n8n hints, the
approvals history blurb. Wire-level identifiers
(`chain.reset`) stay as code.
2. "Bei Fehlern unten muss man die auch ins clipboard
kopieren können." New `FaiErrorBox` widget: selectable
monospace block with a small copy-to-clipboard icon
button that flips to a checkmark for two seconds after
click. Applied to the Doctor update banner output and
the Settings channel toast — the two places long
stderr / stdout lands.
3. "Öffnen bei Log kann es nicht öffnen. Audit-DB auch
nicht. PID auch nicht."
Cause: `SystemActions.openInOs` shells out to `open` /
`xdg-open` on file paths the OS has no default handler
for (SQLite DB, PID file, log without an .ext that
binds). New `revealInOs` uses `open -R` on macOS,
`explorer /select,` on Windows, and the parent
directory via `xdg-open` on Linux. Doctor's path rows
carry an `isDirectory` flag that routes through the new
`openOrReveal` so files reveal in Finder / Explorer
instead of failing silently.
4. "Oben im Store könnte man diesen Redaktionshinweis auch
so bauen, dass man mit pfeil nach rechts links auch
weitere anzeigen kann."
The Today-Hero became a carousel. Curated fallback
list grew from one entry to four (public sources, the
sandbox-by-default permission story, the hash-chained
audit story, the air-gap-ready single-binary pitch).
Hero gets prev / next chevrons plus a dot indicator
when the current snapshot has more than one slide.
Operator-accepted stories stay single — the carousel
collapses when there's only one to show.
5. "Ich fände es schöner wenn rechts und links im Store
die Abstände konsistent sind, das Reload-Symbol rechts
ist zu weit rechts und Store links auch nicht bündig."
AppBar now has `titleSpacing: FaiSpace.xl` so the
title's left edge sits flush with the body's left
padding (24 dp), and the trailing `SizedBox` after the
reload icon shrunk so the icon's outer edge meets the
right edge of the rightmost grid card.
6. "Oben der Titel zeigt fai_studio an, das sollte F∆I
Studio sein." The OS window title was the
pubspec-derived "fai_studio". Macos/Linux/Windows
runners now hard-code "F∆I Studio" (with the U+2206
triangle escape so the C++ source stays ASCII). macOS
bundle name and display name lifted out of the
PRODUCT_NAME variable for the same reason.

Two reports:
1. "In Diagnose ist viel nicht übersetzt, wie pending, chain
etc." The Doctor summary strip (Modules / Approvals / Audit
/ Services tiles) and the modules panel still rendered
English wire labels: "pending", "chain", "declared",
"loaded", "empty", "attention", "No pending approvals",
"No host services declared", and the matching "{n} modules
· {m} capabilities" / "{n} approvals awaiting review"
strings.
Fix: 13 new ARB keys covering the summary tiles, modules
panel, and services panel; doctor.dart now reads them via
AppLocalizations. German operators no longer see English
labels on Diagnose.
2. "Im Light mode ist der kontrast zur überschrift falsch,
store ist weiß auf weiß." The AppBar title rendered
white-on-white in light mode.
Cause: `appBarTheme.titleTextStyle = textTheme.headlineSmall`
passed a TextStyle built fresh from GoogleFonts.inter(...)
with `color: null`. Material's "merge foregroundColor at
draw time" path didn't always populate it — depended on
build configuration. The colour fell through to whatever
the surrounding DefaultTextStyle had, which on the
light-mode AppBar was the surface colour.
Fix: bake the foreground colour straight into the title
style via `copyWith(color: scheme.onSurface)`. Also pin
`iconTheme: IconThemeData(color: scheme.onSurface)` so
actions-row icons get the same treatment defensively.

The store had three structural problems flagged in user
feedback:
1. "Lernkurve zu hoch — alle bridge, debug, alpha, planned,
keiner weiß was das heißt." Wire-level enum values bled
through into the UI: `bridge`, `debug`, `published`,
`alpha`, `planned`. Operators don't share the data model.
2. "Filter / Kategorien sollten oben in die Leiste neben Store
zum ausklappen, der Body soll übersichtlicher werden." A
chip-row plus category strip plus result-count line ate a
full row of viewport on every screen.
3. "Suche passt besser an den unteren Bildschirmrand." The
chat-style ask bar belongs at the bottom — Claude / ChatGPT
/ Slack pattern — not at the top where it competes with
the Today hero.
Plus: "Es gibt noch ganz viele overflows in den Beschreibungen."
Changes:
- Plain-language display names. New ARB keys for category
labels (Connectors / Sample modules / AI models / Storage /
Channels / Authentication / Orchestration / …) and updated
status values (stable / experimental / coming soon). Wire
ids stay in StoreEntry, RPCs, seed.yaml — only the rendered
pills and dropdowns get translated. Helpers
`_categoryDisplayName` and `_statusDisplayName` keep the
mapping in one place.
- Toolbar moves into the AppBar. The new `_CategoryDropdown`
hosts the category picker as a popup-menu with localised
labels; the existing `_FilterButton` lives next to it; the
reload icon stays where it always was. The body no longer
carries any chip strip or result-count line.
- Bottom-anchored `_AskBar`. The Scaffold body becomes a
Column of `Expanded(scrollable content)` plus a pinned
composer row at the foot of the viewport, with a top
divider matching the chat-input pattern of modern AI
assistants. AI answers now render at the top of the scroll
(above the Today-Hero) so the operator sees them right
after submitting the question at the bottom.
- Overflow sweep on descriptions. Today-Hero header row
becomes a Wrap (badge + deck flow naturally on narrow
windows), the title is bound to 3 lines, the body to 6.
Card category text gets `maxLines: 1, ellipsis` in both
StoreCard and FeaturedTile. Recommended-source card title
gets the same treatment.
- Better toast for the "added but zero capabilities" path.
When MCP discovery succeeds but returns no tools (typical
Streamable-HTTP servers without Mcp-Session-Id support, or
servers that need `notifications/initialized`), the toast
now explains the situation in plain language and points
the operator at Settings → MCP Clients to retry. Old
pluralised toast still fires when N > 0.
Hub-side `notifications/initialized` for HTTP MCP and
Mcp-Session-Id support are out of scope for this commit;
tracked as a separate fai_hub follow-up.

Three changes against the user feedback "der text ist zu
zerhackt, die filter-leiste nimmt zu viel sicht weg, llm-suche
wenn das geht":
1. Today-Hero copy rewritten in flowing prose. The fallback
story drops the code-fence templates ("`mcp.<server>.<tool>`")
and reads as a single arc per language. Same trust model,
gentler register.
2. Filter row collapses behind a single `_FilterButton` with a
"Filter · N active" count badge. Status / Source / Installed
chips now live inside `_FilterDialog` — invisible until the
operator wants them, recovers a full row of viewport. The
category strip stays inline because category is the most
common cut and benefits from being one click away.
3. New `_AskBar` replaces the old single-line `_SearchField`:
- Multi-line input (1-4 lines auto-grow) so questions don't
overflow horizontally.
- Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter submits; bare Enter inserts a
newline so the operator can write multi-line questions
naturally.
- Heuristic question detector (ends in `?` or ≥4 words)
routes the submit to the System-AI's askAi RPC instead of
the substring search. Live keystrokes still keyword-search
for short queries; question-shaped input holds the grid
steady until submit so the visible result set doesn't
wipe with every space.
- The LLM is asked for a strict-JSON ranking of up to 5
modules with a one-phrase reason each. Unknown module
names are dropped silently — operators must not see
hallucinated entries.
- The new `_AiAnswerCard` renders the LLM's answer plus the
ranked match list above the grid; the grid filters to
just those names so the answer and the visible cards
stay coherent. Clearing the question collapses everything
back.
- Falls back to plain keyword search when System AI is off
(with an explanatory hint instead of the AI hint).
The AI path uses the System-AI the operator already configured
in Settings; same privacy mode, same audit-log trail. Nothing
new leaves the hub.

App-store research shows that the most loved discovery
surfaces — Apple's Today tab being the canonical example —
work because editors tell stories instead of stacking
algorithmic recommendations. F∆I has no surveillance budget
and no monetization pressure, so we lean fully into editorial
curation.
This commit adds `_StoreTodayHero`, the first surface a
browsing operator sees:
- Single curated story per release, kept const in
[_kCurrentTodayStory] so the narrative is reviewable in code
review and ships in the audit log via the binary hash. No
CMS, no network, no surveillance.
- Bilingual content shipped inline (`titleEn`/`titleDe`,
`bodyEn`/`bodyDe`) so KRITIS deployments don't need a
translation backend.
- Gradient backdrop with hero icon, deck, narrative paragraph,
optional CTA. Visual treatment matches Apple Today's
hierarchy: badge → headline → body → action.
- Auto-hides whenever a filter is active so a purposeful
search isn't pushed below the fold.
- Per-session dismiss button — no permanent suppression, the
next Studio launch shows it again so a release-bumped story
has a chance to be seen.
Current story (Studio v0.30.x) directs operators to the new
recommended-sources strip, closing the loop between editorial
context and one-click action.

The Store is now the centre of capability discovery — provider
configuration moves out of Settings into the Store itself.
Three changes work together:
1. Source filter chips next to the existing status chips:
All sources / Native / MCP / n8n. Applied client-side after
the hub returns results so toggling is instant. The result
count and the "Clear filters" reset both account for the
source filter too.
2. Per-card provenance pill (`_ProvenancePill`): shows whether
each entry is native, mcp · <provider>, or n8n · <provider>
so the operator can triage the source at a glance — same
role the "verified" badge plays in commercial app stores.
3. `_RecommendedSourcesStrip` replaces the older
`_FederationNudge`. Renders curated public MCP servers
(DeepWiki, Semgrep) as one-click cards with an inline
`[+ Add]` button — no Settings detour, no form. Both servers
are HTTPS Streamable-HTTP, no API key, no subprocess.
Useful AI was considered but its 340+ tools would drown the
index — kept out of the curated list. The strip auto-hides
the moment any federated entry exists.
Removed the now-orphaned storeFederationNudge* ARB keys.

- Localize Flows page: app-bar title and reload tooltip,
hub-unreachable / no-saved-flows empty states, run-flow input
dialog (title with flow name, description, hint, Cancel /
Run), running dialog (title, "Flow running…" status, no-output
message, Close button), flow-card Run button.
- Localize the module-sheet bottom sheet: failed-to-load text,
Capabilities and "Declared permissions" section headers,
no-permissions placeholder copy.
- Localize the System-AI configuration dialog: title, intro
paragraph, provider dropdown label, endpoint label, API-key
env-var label (required vs optional) and disclaimer, privacy
mode header and three options (Off / Redacted / Full) plus
their descriptions, test-result panel ("Connection ok" /
"Connection failed", "Reply: …" prefix), model picker (label,
hint fallback, helper text with Ollama variant, Refresh /
Pull / Pulling… buttons, list errors and empty states),
hardware banner ("Detected: …" + " · curation reviewed …"
suffix), suitability legend (recommended / balanced / small /
large / huge / unknown), cache row with pluralized count and
Clear button, cache cleared / clear-failed toasts, pull-empty
/ pull-failed errors. Suitability label moved off a getter
onto a `labelFor(BuildContext)` method so it can read the
current locale.
Provider preset descriptions and modelHint strings stay in
English in `_ProviderPreset.all` — they're tightly coupled to
the wire-protocol identifiers and would require a runtime
factory rebuild rather than a const list.

Two threads.
Translation expansion: every visible string on the Doctor
page (section headers, status text, button labels, daemon-
control card, daemon-files panel, update banner) and the
Modules page (recent-activity strip, capabilities label,
uninstall dialog + toast) flips between DE and EN with the
sidebar toggle. Adds ~50 ARB keys split between
`app_en.arb` / `app_de.arb`. Pluralised + parametrised
strings (`{n} events verified`, `Running on {name}: {endpoint}`)
use the standard ICU placeholder syntax so future locales
slot in without code changes.
Sparse-store federation nudge: the Store page renders an
inline banner above the grid when the operator has zero
federated entries — single biggest store-fullness lever is
configuring an MCP server / n8n endpoint, so the banner
says exactly that and the button opens Settings straight
to the editor. Banner dismisses automatically the next
render after a federated entry appears.
Coverage stand for translation: Doctor + Modules + sidebar
+ page titles + nav + Cmd+K labels are bilingual. Settings
dialog, Approvals cards, Audit drilldown, MCP/n8n editors,
Store search hint + filter chips remain English-literal.
The infrastructure (ARB plumbing, generator hookup,
locale-notifier) means each follow-up surface is a
one-line ARB edit + one call-site swap.

Replaces the Store-only DE/EN toggle with an app-wide one
parked in the sidebar footer next to the theme button.
Pressing it flips every translated string at once: nav
labels, page titles, common buttons, the bilingual
store-index content.
Implementation:
- Adds `flutter_localizations` + `intl` to pubspec, plus
`flutter.generate: true` so `flutter gen-l10n` runs in the
build pipeline.
- ARB sources at `lib/l10n/app_en.arb` and `app_de.arb`. The
EN file is the template; DE carries the German strings.
Initial coverage: navigation, common buttons, page titles,
channels / store / audit / modules / approvals headers,
hub-unreachable copy, MCP + n8n panel headers + hints.
Rest of the UI strings are still English-literal — those
fall in incrementally as we touch each surface.
- Generated `AppLocalizations` lives at
`lib/l10n/app_localizations*.dart` (regenerated via
`flutter gen-l10n` on every ARB edit).
- `StudioAppState` gains `localeNotifier` alongside
`modeNotifier`; persisted via SharedPreferences key
`locale.code`.
- Sidebar `_LanguageToggle` reads/writes through the
notifier. The Store's per-page locale state is gone:
`_locale` now reads `Localizations.localeOf(context)
.languageCode`, so the bilingual store-index content
follows the global setting without a second toggle.
- `_NavPage.label` becomes `_NavPage.id` + `labelOf(context)`;
Cmd+K palette and Sidebar both read the localized label.
Out of scope this iteration: localizing the remaining
~80% of UI strings (Settings dialog labels, Store search
hint, error messages). Those land incrementally — the i18n
infrastructure now means each is a one-line ARB edit + one
call-site swap.
