Merge pull request 'Release v26.04.27 — Briefing → Journal; news/RSS removed' (#29 ) from dev into main

feat(journal): replace briefing surface with journal; remove news/RSS
The backend retired /api/briefing/* and the RSS feature entirely. This Flutter change mirrors what landed web-side: rename the briefing surface to journal, repoint at /api/journal/*, and drop the news/RSS UI since its endpoints no longer exist. New (mirrors briefing structure with adapted shapes): - lib/data/api/journal_api.dart — getToday, getDay, getDays, triggerPrep - lib/data/models/journal_day.dart — {day_date, conversation, messages} - lib/providers/journal_provider.dart — async notifier, sendReply, polling, silent refresh, regeneratePrep. Mirrors the briefing notifier 1:1 - lib/widgets/journal_prep_card.dart — adapted briefing_digest_card - lib/screens/journal/journal_screen.dart — adapted briefing_screen, weather card preserved (rendered from msg_metadata.sections.weather on the daily-prep assistant message). News cards / RSS reactions / article-discuss removed - lib/screens/journal/journal_history_screen.dart — past days picker pulls /api/journal/days, drills into /api/journal/day/<iso> Wiring: - Routes.briefing → Routes.journal (constants.dart) - Routes.news removed - briefingApiProvider → journalApiProvider (api_client_provider.dart) - newsApiProvider removed - app.dart: shell tab "Briefing" → "Journal"; News destination removed from nav rail, bottom nav, and the More sheet - splash_screen.dart and login_screen.dart: redirect Routes.journal instead of Routes.briefing - chat_api.dart: drop openArticleInChat (calls deleted /api/chat/from-article) - settings_provider.dart: drop rssEnabled getter and rssEnabledProvider Deleted: - lib/screens/briefing/ (whole directory) - lib/screens/news/ (whole directory) - lib/data/api/briefing_api.dart, news_api.dart - lib/data/models/briefing_conversation.dart, briefing_feed.dart, news_item.dart - lib/providers/briefing_provider.dart, news_provider.dart - lib/widgets/briefing_digest_card.dart, news_card.dart - test cases for NewsItem and BriefingFeed in test/widget_test.dart flutter analyze: 0 issues.

bvandeusen	5bdd4f565b	Merge pull request 'Release v26.04.27 — Briefing → Journal; news/RSS removed' (#29 ) from dev into main	2026-04-27 12:19:58 +00:00
bvandeusen	dd250788f6	feat(journal): replace briefing surface with journal; remove news/RSS The backend retired /api/briefing/* and the RSS feature entirely. This Flutter change mirrors what landed web-side: rename the briefing surface to journal, repoint at /api/journal/*, and drop the news/RSS UI since its endpoints no longer exist. New (mirrors briefing structure with adapted shapes): - lib/data/api/journal_api.dart — getToday, getDay, getDays, triggerPrep - lib/data/models/journal_day.dart — {day_date, conversation, messages} - lib/providers/journal_provider.dart — async notifier, sendReply, polling, silent refresh, regeneratePrep. Mirrors the briefing notifier 1:1 - lib/widgets/journal_prep_card.dart — adapted briefing_digest_card - lib/screens/journal/journal_screen.dart — adapted briefing_screen, weather card preserved (rendered from msg_metadata.sections.weather on the daily-prep assistant message).

bvandeusen	01aa362d3c	feat(offline): detect server offline and keep returning users signed in Previously, if the backend was unreachable at launch, the splash screen routed to the login screen. The server URL remained persisted in SharedPreferences but visually appeared lost, frustrating any user who isn't the service operator. - New AuthStatus.offline distinguishes network failures (NetworkException) from HTTP 401 in AuthNotifier.verify(). - Persist has_ever_logged_in flag on first successful verify/login. - Offline + ever-logged-in lands on the briefing with a sticky offline banner (retry button) instead of being punted to login. - OfflineBanner widget is Tier-2-ready so we can surface "last sync X min ago" once real caching lands (Fable task #147).	2026-04-18 12:58:18 -04:00

bvandeusen	aba0ca6256	feat: gate News tab and briefing news cards on server rss_enabled setting Fetch server-side settings on app launch via new serverSettingsProvider. Hide News from bottom sheet and NavigationRail when RSS is disabled. Skip news card rendering in briefing messages when disabled. Refactor tab navigation to use dynamic tabs list and route-based refresh. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-17 14:29:05 -04:00
bvandeusen	70a3279192	feat: background update download, snackbar prompt, chat image rendering Update provider: auto-downloads APK in background after finding a newer version, prompts via snackbar only when ready, cleans up old APKs on startup. Replaces modal dialog with dismissible snackbar. Chat bubble: resolve relative image URLs (/api/images/{id}) against server base URL with auth cookies so search_images results render on the phone app. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-17 12:38:48 -04:00
bvandeusen	fc6c9648f9	fix(voice): eliminate dual-recorder conflict and defunct element crashes VadHandler is now the sole mic owner — removed separate AudioRecorder that caused audio focus contention on Android. Audio from onSpeechEnd is encoded as WAV for Whisper. Provider switched to autoDispose to match widget lifecycle, preventing defunct element assertions. Recording UI deferred until mic is open.

bvandeusen	5f11b344a3	feat(voice): replace amplitude silence detection with Silero VAD Use VadHandler from the vad package (Silero VAD v5 ONNX) for speech detection instead of amplitude thresholds. VAD runs its own PCM stream while the file recorder captures AAC-LC for Whisper. Grace period starts on speech-start, auto-stop on speech-end after grace. No-speech guard shows error on manual stop without detected speech. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-16 20:57:52 -04:00

bvandeusen	c967a49e5a	Release v26.04.15.1 — Tablet landscape improvements	2026-04-16 05:52:49 +00:00
bvandeusen	58d4cfab4d	feat: tablet landscape improvements Shell: move Projects/News/Calendar into ShellRoute so the NavigationRail persists across all screens. Show all 6 nav destinations on tablet instead of 3+More overflow. Phone bottom nav unchanged. Chat: master-detail layout on tablet — conversations list (320px) with inline chat panel. Tapping a conversation updates state instead of pushing a new route. Knowledge: responsive grid (2 cols portrait, 3 cols landscape) with card layout showing icon, title, body preview, and tags. Fix snippet data — read json['snippet'] which the API actually sends. Bump snippet length from 120 to 200 chars. Tasks now show description as snippet. News: responsive grid with the same breakpoints. Larger snippet (5 lines) in grid mode via snippetMaxLines parameter. Briefing: centered reading column (maxWidth 700) on wide screens, matching the web UI layout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-04-16 01:31:52 -04:00

bvandeusen	bdaa5210f0	feat(voice): dynamic silence threshold The previous -40 dBFS static threshold sat right on top of typical phone mic ambient, so silence detection rarely fired and the user always had to tap stop manually. Silence threshold is now dynamic: track the session peak dBFS and treat "silent" as 15 dB below peak. Auto-calibrates per mic and environment rather than assuming a fixed ambient level. - Grace period (1500 ms) at start so the user has time to begin speaking before checks arm. - Static -35 dB fallback until the peak clears -20 dB so a dead- silent session doesn't spin forever. - Silence duration bumped 1500 → 2000 ms for breathing room.
