billsplit was a standalone Flutter app in ~/Downloads with one commit and no
git remote — that directory was the only copy of its history.
Three things the move needed beyond copying the tree:
- The root .gitignore silently swallowed 32 of its files (*.png, *.ico,
*.manifest). Ignored files do not error on `git add`, they just vanish, so
this would have committed an app that cannot build. Added a trailing block
of ! overrides plus .binary-allowlist (which did not exist yet) — the
documented in-repo exception for binaries a build genuinely needs. The
../testsAndMisc_binaries/ symlink scheme does not apply: those directories
are gone, and a symlinked PNG breaks a fresh clone.
- billsplit/.github/workflows/ci.yaml was inert once nested; GitHub only reads
workflows at the repository root. Relocated with a working-directory and a
billsplit/** path filter.
- The app's coverage gate moved to python_pkg/billsplit_coverage/ so every
Python file stays under python_pkg/, and gained a test suite at 100% branch
coverage as that location requires. billsplit/ now holds only Dart.
Also replaces the stock Flutter icon with a family icon from the shared
generator. The glyph is a filled silhouette because the family's 72px stroke
cannot carry a fine torn edge, and the split is an evenodd-cut perforation so
the holes stay transparent on the foreground and monochrome layers.
