Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 8905d072d0 feat: carry the catering credential to the phone
The Dart half of the credential sync: a `KuchniaCredentialService` that owns
the value locally, a `sync_merge_kuchnia.dart` adapter mirroring the Python
one, and a `_syncKuchniaCredential` tick alongside the banks and budget. The
phone can now receive the panel password, which is the prerequisite for it
fetching anything itself.

One source of truth, per the answered question: the value lives in the synced
document store and nowhere else. Deliberately *not* mirrored into
`flutter_secure_storage` -- two homes for one value is how a stale password
survives a change made on the other device, and the credential has to be
readable synchronously at merge time anyway.

Gated by a second shared fixture, `tests/fixtures/kuchnia_credential.json`,
asserted by both suites. Two cases carry the weight:

- an **unparsable** edit time must fall back to the same clock on both sides
  (Python catches `ValueError` from `fromisoformat`, Dart's `tryParse` returns
  null). Verified they agree on `wall_time_ms == 0`; mutating that expectation
  fails both suites.
- a **blank half** contributes nothing, so a half-filled settings form cannot
  push an empty-string password that wins LWW against a real one.

`KuchniaCredentialService.init()` is called in the WorkManager isolate as well
as `main()`. A fresh isolate has its own static state and `_syncKuchniaCredential`
no-ops when the singleton is missing, so without it a background tick would
neither publish this device's credential nor receive a peer's -- and on the
phone the background tick is most of the syncing there is. Same class of trap
as the `initSyncDeviceId()` one already documented there.

`.toDouble()` came off the bank record: the fields are already `double`, so it
was a no-op the analyzer flags. The field *types* are what keep the encoding
byte-identical to Python's, and `kuchnia_parity_test.dart` asserts that.

654 Dart tests, 1040 Python tests, 100% Python branch coverage.

diet_guard_app

Companion app for diet_guard: log meals on the phone, and on the Linux desktop, sharing one food log through GitHub-backed sync.

Two targets, and only two

Target What it is
Android a normal Flutter app (flutter build apk)
Linux desktop the Flutter web build, served by a local wrapper and shown in a Chrome --app window

There is no linux/ directory. Flutter's GTK embedder manages ~20fps at 3840x2160 -- measured on a stock flutter create counter app, so it is the toolkit rather than this code -- where the same Dart rendered by Chrome sustains ~144fps (~/todo/docs/desktop-performance-findings.md). Running flutter create --platforms linux here would silently restore the slow path.

Commands

flutter test                     # the app's suite
flutter analyze
bash run.sh                      # build the web bundle and launch the desktop app
bash install_arch.sh             # build + install the pacman package and .desktop entry
flutter build apk --release      # the phone build
adb install -r build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk

Never adb uninstall or pm clear this package: both wipe the on-device log.

The desktop wrapper

bin/diet_guard_desktop.dart is the other half of the desktop app, because a browser cannot touch the filesystem. It:

  • serves the built web assets from build/web (or /opt/diet-guard-app/web once packaged);
  • keeps an on-disk copy of every document and photo under ~/.local/share/diet-guard-desktop/, which is what makes a wiped Chrome profile recoverable -- for photos it is the only copy, since they never sync;
  • holds the GitHub token (~/.config/diet_guard_app/sync_token, falling back to the PC gate's ~/.config/diet_guard/sync_token) and proxies api.github.com plus the device flow, whose endpoints send no CORS headers and so cannot be called from a page at all.

The port (8732) and the Chrome --user-data-dir must stay fixed. IndexedDB is keyed by origin and lives inside that profile, so changing either looks to the app like a device with no history.

Platform seams

dart:io does not fail a web compile; it becomes a stub that throws at runtime, so the symptom of a missed seam is a blank white window rather than a build error. Every platform edge is a conditional export -- document_store*, blob_store*, background_tasks*, notification_backend*, token_vault*, github_client_factory*, attached_image*. Branch on kIsWeb before any Platform.is…, which itself throws on web.

What the desktop genuinely loses, by design rather than omission:

  • Background reminders. A browser runs nothing once its window is closed, so the due-slot check runs in-page every 5 minutes while the window is open. On the PC the real backstop is diet-guard-gate.timer, which locks the screen.
  • Camera capture. The browser picker is a file input.
  • Photo sharing between devices -- unchanged: imagePath was always stripped before push.

Sync identity

Three devices push under diet-guard-sync/devices/: pc (the Python gate), phone, and desktop. Each must keep its own id -- two devices sharing one would overwrite each other's pushed log on every tick.
