flemming-it 711436b71d feat(studio): carousel size lock, store-actionable today stories, HTTPS MCP suggestions in settings (v0.36.0)
Three concrete changes against operator feedback that the
Today carousel was visually jumping when arrowed and
genre-mixing platform-architecture education with store-
actionable highlights.

- Carousel size pinned. The hero's outer Container picks up
  `BoxConstraints(minHeight: 240)` so a slide with one
  paragraph and a slide with three render at the same
  height. Prev/next no longer reflows the rest of the page.

- Today fallback stories trimmed and re-themed. The four
  shipped slides drop to three:
  - "Public sources" (DeepWiki / Semgrep one-click) — kept
  - "Three text modules already in the store" — new,
    points the operator at text.extract / text.summarize /
    text.translate in the grid below
  - "Try the extract → summarize flow" — new, points at
    flows/extract-summarize.yaml
  Architecture-education stories (sandbox model, hash-
  chained audit, air-gap posture) are gone from this surface
  — they belong on the Welcome page that
  `docs/landing-page-design.md` lays out.

- DeepWiki + Semgrep added to the Settings → MCP-Clients
  add-server suggestion-chip catalogue. Until now the chips
  were nine stdio servers that need Node + npx; the two
  HTTPS public sources only existed as one-click cards in
  the Today hero. Operators who dismissed the hero had no
  in-Settings path to find them. The new entries sit at the
  top of the catalogue with an explicit "Public HTTPS — no
  Node, no API key" descriptor and the same icons the Today
  hero already uses.

- `docs/landing-page-design.md` (new). Captures the design
  for a sidebar Welcome page that hosts the three-pillar
  intro, the trust-posture deck, the getting-started
  checklist, and an embedded-doc reader so operator-facing
  documentation stays inside Studio (`flutter_markdown`
  rendering of bundled `assets/docs/*.md`) instead of
  clicking out to a browser. Three-phase implementation
  plan: scaffolding, embedded docs, computed checklist.
  Build is gated on operator alignment; this doc is the
  alignment artefact.

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.
