flemming-it 93926741b1 feat(studio): channel switcher, autostart toggle, Store redesign (v0.18.0)
UI parity for operators who never touch a CLI, plus a Store
that reads more like an app store.

Settings dialog:
- Channel rows gain a popup menu: Connect / Make active /
  Enable autostart / Disable autostart. "Connect" still
  re-points Studio's wire; "Make active" actually writes
  ~/.fai/current-channel via `fai channel switch`.
- Inline output panel surfaces the spawned binary's stdout
  on success or stderr on failure, so operators see what
  happened without opening a terminal.

Store page rewrite:
- Big top search bar with a clear button. Live filter on
  every keystroke.
- Horizontal category strip auto-populated from the index;
  segmented status row (All / Published / Alpha / Planned),
  Installed-only chip, result count.
- Grid of cards that reflows to fit the viewport — replaces
  the previous single-column list. Each card shows
  category-aware icon, version, status, tagline preview, and
  a one-click Install (or Details for installed / planned).
- Per-module detail sheet renders the full bilingual
  description with a DE/EN toggle, separate Required-
  capabilities + Required-host-services sections, repo link,
  Read-docs button. Install + Uninstall live at the bottom.
- StoreItem and HubService.searchStore now carry the German
  tagline + description so the locale toggle has something
  to switch to.

SystemActions extended with `faiChannelSwitch`,
`faiDaemonEnable`, `faiDaemonDisable` so Settings can spawn
the right CLI without each call site reimplementing the
`fai` resolution rules.

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.
