refactor(brand): rename F∆I -> Ch∆In + hub binary fai -> chain
Studio follows the platform rename: product branding F∆I -> Ch∆In in UI
strings, command examples fai -> chain, and — critically — the spawned
hub binary path ~/.fai/bin/fai -> ~/.fai/bin/chain so Studio launches
the renamed binary. The fai_* Dart identifiers (FaiLog, widget files,
the generated SDK) stay = vendor/internal namespace. flutter analyze:
no issues.

Ch∆In Studio

Desktop GUI client for the Ch∆In Platform hub. Tier-2 generic platform client per docs/architecture/client.md. Connects to a local or remote chain 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.
