flemming-it fb7352d182 fix(studio): live-search exception, daemon-card width, featured tile size; add Start-hub button (v0.20.1)
Three reported bugs and one onramp gap:

- Store live-search threw `setState() callback returned a
  Future`. The `=>` body of `_runSearch` evaluated to the
  Future returned by `_load()`. Switched to a block body so
  the closure resolves to void; the future itself is still
  awaited by the FutureBuilder.

- Doctor's Daemon-control card was visibly narrower than its
  siblings — its only stretching child was a Wrap of small
  buttons. Wrapped the content in `SizedBox(width: infinity)`
  so the card fills the section's width like every other
  panel. Card now leads with the live `running on local:
  127.0.0.1:50051` status row + status pill so operators see
  state at a glance, then offers Restart / Start (when
  stopped) / Stop / Status.

- Featured tiles were 320×152 against the regular grid's
  ~360×168, so the editorial picks looked subordinate to
  the dense grid. Bumped to 480×220 with bigger icon, larger
  title, larger tagline so the strip reads as a hero band.

- ConnectionPill in the sidebar now offers an inline "Start
  hub" button when the daemon is unreachable. Spawns
  `fai daemon start` via SystemActions; the shell-level
  health poll picks the daemon up on its next tick. Closes
  the chicken-and-egg for Windows users who can't open a
  shell to bootstrap.

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.
