fix(studio): sidebar — fix icon-shift + use collapsed top space
Two UX bugs Stefan flagged on the v0.51.0 collapsible rail:

1. Icons re-positioned when the rail expanded. Operators
   already pointing at an icon had to chase it as the rail
   grew. Two causes: the _SidebarItem switched between
   `Center(icon)` (collapsed) and `Row(icon, gap, label)`
   (expanded), and the AnimatedContainer's horizontal padding
   switched between FaiSpace.sm (collapsed) and FaiSpace.md
   (expanded). Both flipped the icon's effective X-position.

   Now: same Row, same AnimatedContainer padding, in both
   states. The icon sits at the same X-pixel always; only
   the label slot toggles open beside it.

2. Top of the collapsed rail was wasted (only the brand-mark
   was visible; version + connection + channel disappeared
   completely). Use the same vertical real estate for
   glance-able compact equivalents:

   * tiny "v0.51" version text in mono below the brand
   * _CollapsedConnectionDot — 10 px circle, green/red/amber
     tonality matching FaiDeltaMark's mode states. Tooltip
     surfaces the full endpoint string.
   * _CollapsedChannelChip — 18 px circle with the channel's
     first letter (P / B / D / L) in the same accent tone
     the full pill uses, so "production" stays unmistakably
     red even at-a-glance.

When the rail expands, the full pills replace the compact
indicators as before. Tests still green (the existing widget
test booted without hover-expand and that path stays correct
either way).

Version: 0.51.0 → 0.51.1

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_client_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.
