fix(studio): sidebar — fixed-width icon column eliminates icon shift
Previous "left-anchor everything via padding" approach made
the math work on paper but the perceived shift persisted. The
root cause was structural, not padding-based: ListView gave
each item a tight cross-axis constraint equal to the rail's
current width (48 collapsed, 196 expanded). Inside the item,
the AnimatedContainer filled that constraint and laid out a
mainAxisSize.min Row at the start of the AC's content area.
The icon's pixel-X depended on the AC's padding _and_ the
constraint; even with equal padding the rendered layout
shifted across the expand animation because Flutter
re-resolved alignment under a moving constraint.

Replace the entire pattern with a fixed-width icon column
that doesn't care about the parent constraint:

  ListView (padding 0) → Item Row
    SizedBox(width: 72) → Center → icon   ← anchored to literal x
    if expanded → Expanded → label text   ← grows into remaining space

Same pattern for the brand/connection/channel rows above. The
72 px matches the rail's collapsed width exactly, so collapsed
rail = one icon column + nothing; expanded rail = same icon
column + label slot. Icon's pixel-X is now provably constant.

Removes the AC's horizontal padding entirely — the icon
column owns the left anchor. The background highlight still
spans the full row width (typical nav-rail UX), and the rail
expand animation only moves the rail's right edge, never any
icon-bearing element.

Also passes an `iconColumnWidth: 72` to _SidebarItem instead
of hard-coding the magic number in two places.

Version 0.51.3 → 0.51.4.

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.
