bvandeusen 4eb9935f8e feat(flutter/cache): cacheFirst helper + drift↔model adapters (#357 plan C)
Foundation for the provider migrations. cacheFirst<D, T> wraps the
drift.watch() + REST cold-cache fallback pattern: yields cached rows
when present, kicks off REST fetch + drift populate when empty +
online, yields empty when offline. REST failures swallow to empty so
callers can surface errors via toast.

adapters.dart adds CachedX → XRef extension methods + reverse
XRef.toDrift() companions for Artist/Album/Track/Playlist. Adapters
accept some loss of server-derived fields (coverUrl, streamUrl,
ownerUsername) — UI already handles empty values; cold-cache fallback
briefly shows the real values before drift takes over.

cache_first_test covers all 4 branches (non-empty, empty+online,
empty+offline, REST failure). adapters_test covers basic round-trips.
Both safe to run on CI runner — no drift open required.

// Drift-first reactive read pattern with REST cold-cache fallback (#357 plan C).
//
// Subscribes to a drift watch() stream. On each emission:
// - non-empty → map to result type T and yield
// - empty + online → fetch via REST, populate drift, await re-emission
// - empty + offline → yield mapped empty result (UI shows empty state)
//
// The pattern lets every read provider trust drift as the source of
// truth. SyncController keeps drift fresh in the background; widget
// rebuilds happen automatically as drift writes propagate via watch().
import 'dart:async';
/// Wraps the watch + cold-cache fallback pattern. Generic over:
/// D — the drift row type (or TypedResult for joins)
/// T — the result type the caller wants (e.g. List<ArtistRef>)
///
/// `fetchAndPopulate` is invoked when drift is empty AND `isOnline()`
/// returns true. It must populate drift via its own side-effect; the
/// drift watch() stream will re-emit and this helper yields the
/// populated rows on the next iteration.
///
/// REST failures are swallowed — the helper falls through to yielding
/// the empty result. Caller is responsible for surfacing errors via
/// toast etc.
