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.

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.

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.

Three reported bugs and one onramp gap:
- Store live-search threw `setState() callback returned a
Future`. The `=>` body of `_runSearch` evaluated to the
Future returned by `_load()`. Switched to a block body so
the closure resolves to void; the future itself is still
awaited by the FutureBuilder.
- Doctor's Daemon-control card was visibly narrower than its
siblings — its only stretching child was a Wrap of small
buttons. Wrapped the content in `SizedBox(width: infinity)`
so the card fills the section's width like every other
panel. Card now leads with the live `running on local:
127.0.0.1:50051` status row + status pill so operators see
state at a glance, then offers Restart / Start (when
stopped) / Stop / Status.
- Featured tiles were 320×152 against the regular grid's
~360×168, so the editorial picks looked subordinate to
the dense grid. Bumped to 480×220 with bigger icon, larger
title, larger tagline so the strip reads as a hero band.
- ConnectionPill in the sidebar now offers an inline "Start
hub" button when the daemon is unreachable. Spawns
`fai daemon start` via SystemActions; the shell-level
health poll picks the daemon up on its next tick. Closes
the chicken-and-egg for Windows users who can't open a
shell to bootstrap.

UI parity for Windows operators who never touch a shell:
- Module sheet gains an Uninstall button at the bottom.
Two-step confirmation, then calls UninstallModule + closes
the sheet + refreshes the Modules page.
- Doctor page picks up two new sections:
* Daemon files — log / config / audit DB / modules /
flows / pid, each with a one-click "Open" button that
shells out to the OS handler (open / xdg-open /
explorer).
* Daemon control — Restart / Stop / Status buttons that
spawn `fai daemon …`. Captured stdout/stderr renders
inline so the operator sees what happened.
- Update banner gains an "Apply update" button that spawns
`fai update apply --channel <c>`. The previous version
showed the command as text — Windows users had no way to
execute it.
- Event log panel gains a "Verify now" button that re-runs
the chain check (via the existing doctor refresh).
New SystemActions helper resolves the `fai` binary via
$FAI_BIN → PATH → `~/.fai/bin/fai` (or the Windows
equivalent), so the buttons work whether the operator
restarted their shell after installing or not.

Doctor page now opens with a slim banner above the summary strip
in two cases: an actually newer version on the channel ("Update
available — v0.x.y", success-tone "new" pill, release-notes URL
when present) or the release host being unreachable
("Release host unreachable", neutral "offline" pill, with the
network reason). When local matches latest the banner stays
hidden — quiet UI is the right default.
Hooks into the existing parallel-fetch in `HubService.doctor` so
the new RPC adds zero latency to the page load.

Two issues:
1. _StatTile in the Doctor page overflowed by ~6px on narrow
widths because the Row containing the icon + label "AUDIT
CHAIN" with letterSpacing=0.6 didn't fit in the ~90px
constraint per tile (4 tiles in a Row sharing the page
width). Fix: smaller icon (16→14), tighter gap, label wrapped
in Flexible with TextOverflow.ellipsis, and the longest label
shortened "AUDIT CHAIN" → "AUDIT" with the chain count moved
to the subtitle.
2. The new redesign was easy to mistake for the previous build
from the outside. Add a small monospaced version line right
under "F∆I Studio" in the sidebar header:
F∆I Studio
v0.7.1 · warm-minimalism
Self-identifying — "wrong build" is now visible without
reading the about dialog.
Bumps fai_studio 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1.

Composes the platform's health picture in one view:
- Summary strip: 4 stat tiles for modules / approvals / audit
chain / services with semantic accent colour.
- Event-log panel: WORM-1 badge + chain status, points to the
first tampered event id when integrity fails.
- Modules & approvals panel: counts plus an "attention" pill
when approvals are pending.
- Services panel: declared services from operator config or a
helpful empty-state pointing at ~/.fai/config.yaml.
Backed by the new HubAdmin RPCs (VerifyEventChain, ListServices)
plus the existing ListCapabilities and ListApprovals. One
HubService.doctor() call fans out to all four in parallel.
Doctor is the new first destination in the sidebar — that's the
page an operator wants to land on after starting the app.
Bumps fai_studio 0.3.0 -> 0.4.0.
