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.

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.

The free-form key=value run-flow dialog produced two
unhelpful failures every time an operator hit Run:
1. Submit empty → "step references missing value
'\$inputs.document'" from the hub. Studio sent a zero-
entry inputs map because nothing told the operator the
flow declared a required input.
2. Type `document=@/path/to/file` → "path not found".
Dart's `File()` doesn't expand `~`, and on macOS
sandboxed Studio can't read arbitrary paths anyway.
Both failure modes are gone. The dialog is now a typed form:
- On open, fetches `getFlowDefinition(name)` (new SDK
v0.15.0 wrapper around the v0.10.89 hub RPC). While that
resolves, a small spinner shows
"Loading inputs…"; on failure, an inline `FaiErrorBox`
with the exact RPC error and a copy button replaces the
spinner.
- Renders one form-field per declared input. The flow
YAML's verbatim type tag drives the widget choice:
`bytes` / `file` → "Choose file…" button + picked-file
readout, plain TextField for everything else. The type
tag is shown next to the input name as a pill so a flow
author who picks a less-common type still gets a hint.
- Bytes inputs route through `file_picker` with
`withData: true`, which means the OS file dialog handles
read access — sandboxed Studio gets the bytes inline
rather than a path it can't open. Falls back to
`File(path).readAsBytes()` on Linux configs that don't
honour `withData` for large files; failures show a
copyable SnackBar.
- The Run button enables only when every declared input has
a value (text non-empty / file picked). Empty submission
is impossible; the cryptic hub-side
"missing value" error stops surfacing.
- The run-result dialog's error path uses `FaiErrorBox`
instead of the previous plain `SelectableText`, so any
hub-side flow error (permission denied, module crash,
whatever) is one click to clipboard.
11 new ARB keys cover the form's labels, the file-picker
states, the loading / failed-definition messages, the
"This flow declares no inputs" empty state, and the
run-error dialog title.
`file_picker: ^8.0.0` added to pubspec.yaml.

Cross-store research (Apple, Play, Steam, Docker, VS Code,
Chrome Web Store, Flathub) consistently rewards editorial
curation over algorithmic recommendations — but manual
copywriting per release does not survive a solo-dev cadence.
This commit lands a daily-build pipeline so the Today-Hero
card stays fresh without operator hand-edits per release.
Pipeline shape (full design in docs/today-pipeline.md):
1. tools/today/collect.sh aggregates "what happened in the
last 24 hours" across the F∆I monorepos: git log per repo,
store-index seed.yaml diffs, architecture/system-gaps doc
changes, Studio release tags, and (opt-in) audit-log
highlights. Outputs plain text.
2. tools/today/propose.sh feeds the signal summary plus
prompt.template.md to the operator's already-configured
System-AI (Ollama default; OpenAI-compatible endpoints
work via env-var override). Drafts N candidate stories as
YAML files under ~/.fai/today/proposals/<date>/.
3. tools/today/accept.sh validates a chosen candidate against
the today/v1 schema and the no-marketing-speak banned-word
list, then atomic-renames it into ~/.fai/today/active.yaml.
4. Studio reads active.yaml at store-page init via the new
TodayStoryLoader (lib/data/today_story_loader.dart). On any
failure (file missing, schema mismatch, banned-words hit,
parse error) it falls back to the compiled-in
_kFallbackTodayStory so KRITIS deployments and fresh
installs always render something sensible.
Trust + audit:
- All proposed and accepted stories live as plain YAML on disk.
- The pipeline calls only the operator's already-configured
System-AI; it never reaches a CMS, never phones home, works
air-gapped if the System-AI does.
- The bash accept gate AND the Dart loader both enforce the
banned-word list — a hand-edited active.yaml that bypassed
the shell still won't reach the UI.
- Removing the cron entry disables the pipeline; Studio falls
back to the const story and continues to work.
Cron / launchd / systemd recipes documented in
tools/today/README.md.

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.

Mirror of the MCP-clients panel: Add / Remove / Refresh
with last-discovery health (workflow count or error_kind),
sister Add-dialog with name + base_url + optional
api_key_env + notes. HubService gains the four passthroughs
(`listN8nEndpoints`, `refreshN8nEndpoints`,
`addN8nEndpoint`, `removeN8nEndpoint`) and a
`N8nEndpointInfo` data class.
Settings dialog now hosts: hub endpoint, channels,
system AI, MCP clients, n8n endpoints — all behind the
existing 520×640 SingleChildScrollView so the layout
doesn't crowd.

The viral-bridge story now has a UI surface. Settings →
MCP Clients lists every configured server, shows last-
discovery health (green dot + tool count, red dot + error
kind), and offers Add / Remove / Refresh.
Add-server dialog: name (no dots), endpoint, optional
api_key_env, optional notes. On submit the hub persists +
re-runs discovery in one round-trip; the Store fills with
synthetic `mcp.<name>.<tool>` entries the operator can see
immediately.
StoreItem now carries `kind` and `provider`. Federated
entries route through a bridge — no install bundle to
download — and Studio's install button renders accordingly
(via the existing "Not installable" path; the Phase-2
follow-up adds an explicit "Configure bridge" call-to-action).
Settings dialog grew to 520×640 with a SingleChildScrollView
so the additional panels don't crowd. Channel pill, system-AI
panel, MCP-clients panel all coexist without a redesign.

Three sweeps in a single bundle.
Universal command palette (⌘K / ctrl+K):
- Modal at top-of-window with a single search input. Indexes
pages, installed modules, store entries, saved flows on
open; filters client-side as the operator types.
- Keyboard nav (↑/↓ + Enter), grouped sections, hover-to-
highlight. Hit selection navigates / opens the right
surface in one keystroke. Closes with Esc.
- Designed to mirror the VSCode / Linear / 1Password
ergonomics — gives non-CLI operators a "jump anywhere"
affordance that scales with the number of installed
modules.
Modules page recent-activity panel:
- Top-of-page strip lists the last 10 install / uninstall
events from the audit log, color-coded by direction.
Hidden when no relevant events exist (fresh installs).
Same locale-unambiguous timestamp format used in audit.
Store detail sheet now renders icons + screenshots:
- `_ModuleIcon` widget loads the explicit `iconUrl` if
provided, falls back to the category glyph on missing
URL or load failure (no broken-image rectangle).
- Screenshots strip below the description: 320×200 tiles,
horizontally-scrollable, click opens full-size via the
OS handler. Placeholder card on load failure.
StoreItem extended with `iconUrl`, `screenshotUrls`,
`docsUrl` so the new content paths through unchanged.

Sidebar:
- New active-channel pill below the connection pill,
color-coded so production deployments look visibly
different from local-dev. Click opens Settings; tooltip
explains the channel taxonomy. Polled in lockstep with the
health probe so it tracks CLI-driven `fai channel switch`.
Store:
- Featured strip above the main grid renders editorial
picks as bigger hero tiles with a subtle gradient
backdrop, version + status pills, and a one-click
Install. Hidden the moment the operator types in the
search box or picks any filter — the result list is the
answer they want, not editorial chrome.
StoreItem now carries the `featured` flag so the page can
filter without an extra round-trip.

Two Phase-2 Store improvements that operators feel
immediately:
- Per-module update badge: store cards compare the operator's
installed version against the index's `best_version`, raise
an "update" pill + "Update to vX.Y.Z" button when newer is
available. Result: a single glance at the Store reveals
what's behind. The page now fetches `listModules` in
parallel with the search so the comparison is on the
current snapshot.
- Inline README rendering: detail sheet has a new
Documentation section. "Load documentation" button (lazy —
no network until clicked) calls FetchModuleDocs and renders
the markdown via flutter_markdown, with the operator's
theme colors and link-tap routed through SystemActions.
Auth / not-found / network failures fall back to a
friendly fix-hint panel + "Open repository in browser"
button so the operator never hits a dead end.
Adds flutter_markdown ^0.7.7 to pubspec; the package is
maintenance-only upstream but is the only mature option
for Material-themed markdown right now. Easy to swap to
markdown_widget if/when we need GitHub-flavored extras.

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.

Audit drilldown's explanation panel now surfaces whether the
answer came from the cache:
- "cached" pill next to the SYSTEM AI label, tooltip shows
the original generation date + hit count.
- Latency renders as "orig 47000 ms" so the operator sees
what a live call would have cost.
- Refresh icon next to the latency triggers Regenerate —
drops the entry, re-asks the model.
System-AI editor shows a cache-status row when the cache is
non-empty with a one-click Clear button. Hidden on fresh
installs to keep the dialog quiet.

Operators can now clear dev-noise from the audit log without
dropping to the CLI. Top-bar broom icon next to the filter
chips opens a two-field dialog (reviewer pre-filled from $USER,
reason required). On submit the hub call returns the purged
count + active channel; both are shown back in a snackbar.
Compliance-locked channels (beta/production) are refused
server-side; the dialog surfaces the rejection reason via a
friendly error message instead of the raw gRPC status string.

System-AI editor now fetches the detected hardware tier and the
hub's curated model database on open. Each model chip's colour
+ tooltip combines both: green star when curated quality is
good/excellent AND min_hw_tier ≤ host; orange when quality is
fine but the host is below min_hw_tier; warning for "basic"
curated entries. Tooltip exposes the curator's note, parameter
count, context window, and licence. Banner above the form
shows "Detected: <summary> · curation reviewed <date>".
Sidebar footer gains a small monospaced live clock between the
theme toggle and the settings icon. Tooltip exposes full local
ISO + UTC for cross-checking against audit-log timestamps.

Two operator-felt papercuts on the editor:
* Models only appeared after a manual Refresh click. Now the
editor calls `_refreshModels()` from initState (post-frame)
so chips populate immediately. Provider switch also re-fires
the refresh because endpoint / model set changes too.
* Operator had no signal which model is suitable. Tiny models
fail at instruction following; huge models stall on a
laptop. Adds a heuristic suitability rating (parses
parameter count from common names like `gemma3:4b`,
`llama3.2:70b`; falls back to family hints for OpenAI /
Claude). Each chip now carries:
- a coloured leading dot (green=balanced, orange=small
or large, red=huge, grey=unknown)
- a star icon for the hand-curated "tested with F∆I"
allowlist (gemma3:4b, llama3.2:3b, qwen2.5-coder:7b,
gpt-4o-mini, claude-haiku-4-5, …)
- a tooltip ("balanced", "huge — likely too slow on a
laptop", …)
Sorting also moves recommended → balanced → others to the
front so the operator's eye lands on green first.
* Compact legend below the chip wrap explains the colour
code in place — no lookup needed.

Operator reported Cmd+, doing nothing. macOS reserves Cmd+,
for the native app-Preferences menu item which Flutter Desktop
doesn't wire up — the keystroke is captured by the OS before
the Shortcuts widget sees it.
Adds Cmd+; as the working alternative; keeps Cmd+, registered
too so a future Flutter version (or a native-menu setup) can
light it up. Tooltip on the sidebar gear icon now reads
"Settings (⌘;)" so the discoverable affordance also tells you
the shortcut.

Two new operator affordances powered by `HubAdmin.AskAi`:
* **Audit drill-down → "Explain" button.** Tappable on every
failed event when System AI is configured; greyed out with
a "Configure in Settings" tooltip otherwise. Shows an
inline panel under the event fields with the LLM's plain-
language explanation, a "FIX" suggestion, the privacy-mode
badge (`redacted` / `full`), and round-trip latency. Errors
map to actionable fix hints (`env_missing` → "set $VAR in
your shell, then fai daemon restart"; `network` → "is your
provider running?"; etc.) — no raw HTTP errors surfaced.
* **Settings dialog → System AI panel.** Renders the live
HubAdmin.SystemAiStatus (provider, endpoint, model,
api_key_env name, privacy mode). When disabled, shows a
one-line explainer + pointer to docs/architecture/system-ai.md.
Read-only for now; editing the config still requires
~/.fai/config.yaml (Phase-1+ adds in-place editing).
Both surfaces follow the new zero-learning-curve UX rule:
the user never has to look up what the configurable means or
how to fix an error — every state self-explains in place.

Turns Studio from read-only dashboard into operator console.
Pieces:
* **New Store page** (sidebar destination #3): browses the
hub's bundled store-index with query + category + status
filters. Each card has an Install button that prompts for
the `.fai` bundle source (URL or local path), ships it to
HubAdmin.InstallModule, shows success / error in a progress
dialog, refreshes the list.
* **Audit drill-down**: every event row is now tappable;
opens a modal with all LoggedEvent fields including the
new `detail` JSON pretty-printed in a code block. KRITIS
forensic story: every audit row → full structured detail
in two clicks.
* **Approvals payload preview**: shipped already; now
pretty-prints JSON when the preview parses as such, plus
a clearer `PAYLOAD PREVIEW` label. Reviewer identity
defaults to `$USER@studio` instead of the hard-coded
`studio-mvp` so the audit trail records who acted.
* **Channel switcher in Settings dialog**: the dialog now
pulls HubAdmin.ChannelStatus and renders one row per
channel (local / dev / beta / production) with port,
running indicator, active marker. A "Connect" button
on a running channel sets Studio's endpoint to that
channel's port and reconnects in one click.
Cmd+1..6 keyboard shortcuts updated for the six destinations.
Widget test asserts every destination renders.

Doctor page now opens with a slim banner above the summary strip

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

Initial scaffold for the F∆I Platform Tier-2 generic GUI client.
Flutter Desktop (macOS, Linux, Windows). Three MVP pages with
mock data, sharing one navigation shell:
- Modules — installed modules with capabilities, declared
permissions and required services.
- Audit — event-stream view with type filter and tone-coded
rows (started / completed / failed).
- Approvals — pending system.approval@^0 reviews with prompt,
payload preview, and approve/reject buttons.
Live gRPC connection arrives in the next iteration via
fai_dart_sdk (sibling repo, currently a typed stub).
Future Forgejo path: fai/studio. Local layout matches existing
fai_platform/ convention.
Background: see docs/architecture/client.md in the platform
repo. The tier-2 client was previously called "Stage" — renamed
to "Studio" on 2026-05-05 to avoid confusion with
"staging environment".
