kenny lopezandMongo 9834f1884e fix(theme): survive full-store snapshot and preserve desktop glass on mobile pre-hydration edits
Two data-loss edge cases in the community-theme sync engine, flagged in review.

Desktop: the controller captured the pre-migration appearance snapshot in its
layout effect but the sync and persistence effects re-read it from storage. When
a full store rejected the snapshot write, that re-read returned nothing and the
appearance fallback collapsed to defaults, resetting glass/opacity/prominent-tab
for the session and risking a durable overwrite. Cache the captured value in a
ref and reuse it across the effects so the correct in-session value survives a
failed write.

Mobile: a theme edit made before relay hydration published a replaceable
coordinate that omitted the desktop-only glass keys, stripping a desktop
client's real values from the record. Hold an edit that carries no desktop
appearance opinion until the coordinate has been observed (a valid record or a
confirmed absence), and when republishing such an edit, merge the desktop-only
fields the relay already holds so publishing never strips them. Bookkeeping
stays on the local preference so the outbox acknowledgement contract is
unchanged.

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.
