flemming-it 04cc12bc54 feat(studio): inline README + per-module update badge in Store (v0.19.0)
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.

F∆I Studio

Desktop GUI client for the F∆I Platform hub. Tier-2 generic platform client per docs/architecture/client.md. Connects to a local or remote fai serve over gRPC.

Status (2026-05-05): MVP scaffold. Three pages with mock data, no live gRPC connection yet. Validates the visual direction before the Dart SDK is wired in.

Pages (MVP scope)

  1. Modules — installed modules, capabilities, declared permissions. Click → manifest detail.
  2. Audit — live stream of hub events (when wired). Filter by event type and flow.
  3. Approvals — pending system.approval@^0 reviews with approve / reject buttons.

These three cover the platform's central properties: composition (modules), audit (events), human-in-the-loop (approvals).

Stack

  • Flutter 3.40+ (Desktop: macOS, Linux, Windows)
  • gRPC client via fai_dart_sdk (sibling repo; pinned by relative path during development)
  • No external runtime dependencies; bundles its own Dart VM

Run locally

flutter run -d macos

Repo placement

Will be published as fai/studio on Forgejo (git.flemming.ws). The local directory fai_studio/ follows the established fai_platform/ layout convention.

Why "Studio" and not "Stage"

"Stage" collided too easily with "staging environment" in developer English. "Studio" is the established industry pattern for creator-tools (Visual Studio, Android Studio, RStudio) and matches the GUI's audience of module developers, operators, and power users. The rename was applied across all docs/ in the platform repo on 2026-05-05.
