7634fe7456 fix(mobile): settle hydrated threads on latest reply (#4702)
🤖
## Summary

Mobile threads could open above the newest reply because the reply query
hydrates across relay pages while the list is still being laid out.
Ordinary thread opens now wait for authoritative hydration and late
layout before settling on the latest reply.

The initial settle is generation-guarded: if another reply arrives while
it is pending, the stale target is discarded and the current tail
becomes the target. Explicit deep links still own their requested
position, existing threads only follow remote replies when the previous
tail was visible, and local sends remain visible.

### Related issue

No matching issue found. This is separate from the channel
unread-navigation behavior in #4239.

Originating Buzz thread:
`buzz://message?channel=a9081ecd-9be0-400b-8bf9-2e8e0d385b80&id=bfb289fc53754f62f641fbf58bf2d7a9c181a3e6eb09a6ba762aeb6904b6cde4&thread=bfb289fc53754f62f641fbf58bf2d7a9c181a3e6eb09a6ba762aeb6904b6cde4`

### Testing

- Added a widget regression covering paginated hydration plus a live
reply arriving during the initial settle.
- Full mobile Flutter test suite passed; `flutter analyze` passed.
- GitHub CI passed, including the Mobile job.
- Built, installed, and launched the debug app on an iPad Pro 11-inch
(M4), iOS 18.6 simulator. An authenticated manual thread traversal was
not performed because the fresh app was not paired to a relay account.

Buzz Mobile

Flutter mobile client for Buzz.

Setup

cd mobile
flutter pub get

Run

# From repo root (recommended — starts Docker, relay, and simulator):
just mobile-dev

# Direct (requires services and relay already running):
cd mobile && flutter run

Worktree-aware debug identity

Debug builds produced from a git worktree get a unique app identifier keyed to the worktree directory name (com.buzz.buzzMobile.<slug> on iOS, xyz.block.buzz.mobile.<slug> on Android) plus a display-only branch label in the app name (Buzz (my-branch), or a short SHA when the worktree is detached). Because the identifier follows the directory rather than the branch, one worktree keeps exactly one installed app — and its login state — across branch switches, and builds from multiple worktrees install side by side, mirroring the desktop dev experience. Release and profile builds always keep the production identity and name.

just mobile-dev and just mobile-build-android apply this automatically by running scripts/mobile-worktree-overrides.sh, which writes two gitignored files:

  • mobile/ios/Flutter/WorktreeOverrides.xcconfig (included by Debug builds only; a developer's AppOverrides.xcconfig is included after it, so app-specific overrides like a personal BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER for device signing always win)
  • mobile/android/worktree.properties (read by the debug build type only)

For direct Xcode / Android Studio / flutter run development, run ./scripts/mobile-worktree-overrides.sh from the repo root once per branch switch to refresh the display label (the install identity never changes); the persisted files are then picked up by any subsequent build. In the main checkout the script is a no-op that removes stale override files, restoring the plain Buzz identity.

To remove leftover worktree-suffixed installs from booted iOS simulators and connected Android emulators, run just mobile-clean (add --dry-run via ./scripts/mobile-worktree-clean.sh --dry-run to preview). Production installs are never touched.

Checks

dart format --output=none --set-exit-if-changed .
flutter analyze
flutter test

Or from the repo root: just mobile-check and just mobile-test.

Android release signing

Android release builds fail unless all upload-key inputs are supplied through the environment:

  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_PATH: path to a CI-vended keystore file
  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD
  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS
  • BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD

The keystore path must be absolute, and the keystore must remain outside the repository. Development and debug builds do not require these variables.

Release pipelines that sign through the central APK Signer service instead of a local upload keystore must set BUZZ_ANDROID_RELEASE_SIGNING=external. That mode produces an unsigned release bundle and refuses to run if any BUZZ_ANDROID_UPLOAD_* value is also set.
