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.

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.

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,

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 operators who never touch a CLI, plus a Store
that reads more like an app store.
Settings dialog:
- Channel rows gain a popup menu: Connect / Make active /
Enable autostart / Disable autostart. "Connect" still
re-points Studio's wire; "Make active" actually writes
~/.fai/current-channel via `fai channel switch`.
- Inline output panel surfaces the spawned binary's stdout
on success or stderr on failure, so operators see what
happened without opening a terminal.
Store page rewrite:
- Big top search bar with a clear button. Live filter on
every keystroke.
- Horizontal category strip auto-populated from the index;
segmented status row (All / Published / Alpha / Planned),
Installed-only chip, result count.
- Grid of cards that reflows to fit the viewport — replaces
the previous single-column list. Each card shows
category-aware icon, version, status, tagline preview, and
a one-click Install (or Details for installed / planned).
- Per-module detail sheet renders the full bilingual
description with a DE/EN toggle, separate Required-
capabilities + Required-host-services sections, repo link,
Read-docs button. Install + Uninstall live at the bottom.
- StoreItem and HubService.searchStore now carry the German
tagline + description so the locale toggle has something
to switch to.
SystemActions extended with `faiChannelSwitch`,
`faiDaemonEnable`, `faiDaemonDisable` so Settings can spawn
the right CLI without each call site reimplementing the
`fai` resolution rules.

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.

Pending tab keeps the existing card layout for actionable
approvals. New History tab shows decided rows (approved /
rejected / expired) as compact one-liners, color-coded by
status with reviewer + decided-at metadata. Click expands to
the full record (prompt, payload preview, reason, ids).
Closes the visibility gap from the recent fix: rejected
approvals were correctly written to the hash-chained audit
log but invisible to operators on the Approvals page itself.
HubService gains `listApprovalsRecords(statuses:)` returning
the decided-side fields the Studio wire previously dropped.

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

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

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.

Three operator-facing improvements driven by Stefan's testing:
* **Test Connection** runs against the form's *current* values
and no longer requires saving first. Previously we save-then-
test which caused a "system AI is disabled" message when the
form's model field was still empty. Now the test prompt
travels with the request body so unsaved tweaks can be
validated.
* **Model picker** replaces the free-text Model field. A
Refresh button calls HubAdmin.ListSystemAiModels (provider's
`/v1/models`); installed models show up as clickable chips
that fill the field with one tap. The text input stays for
cases where the operator already knows the id.
* **Pull** button (Ollama only) downloads a model via
`/api/pull`. Type `gemma3:4b`, click Pull, spinner, then the
new model lights up in the chip list. No more "switch to a
terminal to ollama-pull" detour.
Helper text updates for the empty-model case ("Required: pick
from the list (Refresh) or type one. Use Pull to download from
Ollama.") so a fresh operator never wonders why Save / Test
errors out.

Replaces the read-only System AI block in Settings with a real
editor. Operator never has to touch ~/.fai/config.yaml again
to change provider, endpoint, model, API-key env-var, or
privacy mode.
UX choices that align with the zero-learning-curve rule:
* Provider dropdown lists Ollama / OpenAI / LM Studio / vLLM
/ Custom by friendly name. Each selection auto-fills the
endpoint and api_key_env defaults — but only when the
field is still empty or matches a different preset's
default, so manual overrides are never clobbered.
* Each provider has a one-line description rendered under
the dropdown ("Ollama → Local `ollama serve`. Models stay
on your machine. No API key needed.") and a model-hint
placeholder ("gemma3:4b · llama3.2:3b · qwen2.5-coder:7b")
that goes away when a model is typed.
* Privacy mode is a vertical radio group with each option's
description in place — no doc-lookup needed.
* "Test connection" sends an `ok`-ping and renders the
same error-kind → fix-hint mapping the audit drill-down
uses.
* "Save" persists + hot-reloads the hub. No daemon restart
required. UI status badge flips to "enabled · <privacy>"
immediately.
`fai_dart_sdk` 0.5.0 carries the underlying `updateSystemAi` /
`testSystemAi` RPCs.

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.

Two operator-DX additions:
1. **Flows** is the new third destination in the sidebar.
Lists saved flows from the hub via the new HubAdmin
ListFlows RPC. Each row has a Run button that opens an
input dialog (key=value pairs, one per line, all values
sent as text payloads — the binary-input case stays in
`fai run` CLI). Flow runs in a non-dismissable progress
dialog; output is shown per-key with monospace
selectable text. Errors render with the exception detail
for diagnosis.
2. **Keyboard shortcuts** at the shell level:
- Cmd+1 / Cmd+2 / Cmd+3 / Cmd+4 / Cmd+5 jump to the
matching destination (Doctor / Modules / Flows / Audit
/ Approvals).
- Cmd+, opens the Settings dialog (macOS convention).
