The Flutter client previously reported NO plays — mobile listening never reached play_events, so history, recommendation scoring, ListenBrainz scrobbles, and #415 rotation all missed mobile entirely. Operator chose to close that gap properly as part of Stage 3. New: - EventsApi (api/endpoints/events.dart): play_started/ended/skipped. - PlayEventsReporter (player/play_events_reporter.dart): state machine over (track id, playing) mirroring the web dispatcher. Persists an opaque client_id in secure storage. Deliberate divergence from web: a track change inside a queue is classified ended-vs-skipped by whether the prior track reached ~its duration (3s tolerance), instead of web's blanket "track change = skip" which would mark every naturally-finished in-queue track a skip and dilute recommendation skip-ratios — the exact failure mode that motivated doing this properly. Fail-safe: no-ops when there's no audio handler (tests / no-audio env). App-lifecycle paused/ detached closes an open row as a best-effort skip (web pagehide parity). Wired in app.dart postFrame. - PlaylistsApi.systemShuffle(variant): GET the rotation-aware order. Wiring: - audio_handler: _queueSource carried through setQueueFromTracks (source param); preserved across internal skipToQueueItem rebuild. - player_provider.playTracks: source param → setQueueFromTracks. - PlaylistCard: system playlists fetch systemShuffle and play as-is tagged with source (no client shuffle — server already ordered). - playlist_detail_screen: header Play + per-track tap tag source for system playlists so rotation advances from any entry point. Known/flagged separately: the web dispatcher likely has the same false-skip-on-advance issue; not fixed here to keep #415 scoped and clients' wire behavior comparable.

Minstrel mobile client
Flutter (iOS + Android) sibling of the SvelteKit web SPA. v1 first slice ships: scaffold, auth, library browse (home / artist / album), likes, player with background audio + lock-screen controls.
Setup
cd flutter_client
flutter pub get
./tool/sync_shared.sh # copy tokens / error-copy / placeholders from ../web
dart run tool/gen_tokens.dart # regen lib/theme/tokens.dart from shared/fabledsword.tokens.json
flutter run
sync_shared.sh is idempotent. CI runs it on every build; rerun locally
whenever web/src/lib/styles/tokens.json,
web/src/lib/styles/error-copy.json, or
web/static/placeholders/album-fallback.svg changes.
Project layout
See docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-02-flutter-mobile-foundation-design.md
section 3. Briefly:
lib/api/— dio client, ApiError, error-copy loader, per-surface endpoints.lib/auth/— server URL screen, login screen, AuthController + secure storage.lib/library/— home, artist detail, album detail, providers, widgets.lib/likes/— LikeButton + optimistic toggle controller.lib/player/— audio handler, player provider, mini PlayerBar, NowPlaying.lib/theme/— FabledSword token Dart class (generated), ThemeExtension, ThemeData.lib/shared/— routing (go_router shell), version gate, connection error banner.
shared/fabledsword.tokens.json and assets/error-copy.json are
synced from web/. Don't edit them directly — edit web/src/lib/styles/
and re-run ./tool/sync_shared.sh.
Architecture
- State: Riverpod 2 (
AsyncValue,AsyncNotifier, family providers). - HTTP: dio 5 with a Bearer-auth interceptor; 401 clears the session and the router redirects to login.
- Audio: just_audio wrapped by audio_service for background playback + lock-screen / notification controls.
- Auth: Bearer tokens in flutter_secure_storage. Server already
supports both cookie (web SPA) and Bearer (
internal/auth/session.go). - Routing: go_router with a ShellRoute so the PlayerBar persists
across navigation. Cold launch flow: no server-url →
/server-url, url set / no token →/login, token present →/home.
CI
.forgejo/workflows/flutter.yml runs on push to dev/main, tag pushes,
PR to main, and manual dispatch — path-filtered to flutter_client/**
plus the shared web inputs. Steps: sync, analyze, test, build APK.
Debug APKs upload as artifacts; release APKs attach to the Forgejo
release on tag.
Versioning
pubspec.yaml version mirrors the server tag (e.g. server v0.1.0
→ Flutter 0.1.0+1). The server's /healthz returns
min_client_version; old clients show an Update Required modal and
refuse to operate. Bump internal/server/version.go MinClientVersion
when a server-side change requires a paired client update.
Distribution
- Android: APK on the Forgejo release page. No Play Store for v1.
- iOS: TestFlight on tag (manual upload v1, automate later).
Out-of-scope for slice 1
Search, discover, requests, settings beyond server URL, admin, listening history, playlists, offline cache (#357). Those land in subsequent slices with their own brainstorm/spec/plan cycles. Per the operator's M7 ordering decision (2026-05-02), slice 2+ pauses to ship the missing web features first (#352 playlists, #362 theme toggle, #363 queue UI, #364 listening history, etc.) before mirroring on Flutter.
