The free-form key=value run-flow dialog produced two
unhelpful failures every time an operator hit Run:
1. Submit empty → "step references missing value
'\$inputs.document'" from the hub. Studio sent a zero-
entry inputs map because nothing told the operator the
flow declared a required input.
2. Type `document=@/path/to/file` → "path not found".
Dart's `File()` doesn't expand `~`, and on macOS
sandboxed Studio can't read arbitrary paths anyway.
Both failure modes are gone. The dialog is now a typed form:
- On open, fetches `getFlowDefinition(name)` (new SDK
v0.15.0 wrapper around the v0.10.89 hub RPC). While that
resolves, a small spinner shows
"Loading inputs…"; on failure, an inline `FaiErrorBox`
with the exact RPC error and a copy button replaces the
spinner.
- Renders one form-field per declared input. The flow
YAML's verbatim type tag drives the widget choice:
`bytes` / `file` → "Choose file…" button + picked-file
readout, plain TextField for everything else. The type
tag is shown next to the input name as a pill so a flow
author who picks a less-common type still gets a hint.
- Bytes inputs route through `file_picker` with
`withData: true`, which means the OS file dialog handles
read access — sandboxed Studio gets the bytes inline
rather than a path it can't open. Falls back to
`File(path).readAsBytes()` on Linux configs that don't
honour `withData` for large files; failures show a
copyable SnackBar.
- The Run button enables only when every declared input has
a value (text non-empty / file picked). Empty submission
is impossible; the cryptic hub-side
"missing value" error stops surfacing.
- The run-result dialog's error path uses `FaiErrorBox`
instead of the previous plain `SelectableText`, so any
hub-side flow error (permission denied, module crash,
whatever) is one click to clipboard.
11 new ARB keys cover the form's labels, the file-picker
states, the loading / failed-definition messages, the
"This flow declares no inputs" empty state, and the
run-error dialog title.
`file_picker: ^8.0.0` added to pubspec.yaml.

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)
- Modules — installed modules, capabilities, declared permissions. Click → manifest detail.
- Audit — live stream of hub events (when wired). Filter by event type and flow.
- Approvals — pending
system.approval@^0reviews 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.
