Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki cbbebee79b Pin meal pills to one row; drop the "Logged" restatement
Three independent cleanups ahead of the configurable meal schedule.

Pills: the row was a `Wrap`, so pills dropped onto a second line as soon as
they outgrew the width -- which they do even at four. Measured: a logged chip
is ~124px at Material defaults, so four need 522px against ~330px of phone
width. Now a `FittedBox(scaleDown)` over a `Row`, which scales the row down
uniformly, plus compact chip density so there is less to scale away.

A `Row` of `Expanded` children was the obvious alternative and is wrong: it
imposes a tight width, and a Chip narrower than avatar+padding+label clips its
label rather than shrinking -- measured at 10px per label, about one character,
while throwing no overflow error. The new regression test therefore asserts
both a shared baseline and a legible label width; it was confirmed to fail on
the old `Wrap` ("chip wrapped to a second line at 320.0") rather than passing
vacuously.

Card: the `Logged "<meal>".` line restated the description the user had just
typed. Removed, along with `TodayProgress.justLogged`, which nothing else read.
The kcal position, macros and streak stay.

refactor_claude_todo.md: the 250-line file-splitting refactor it tracked is
done -- `scripts/check_file_length.sh --all` exits 0 and an independent sweep
finds nothing over the cap. DESIGN_AUDIT_TODO.md is a separate, still-open
effort and stays.

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.
