Description of the pull request

Flutter 3.47.0 went stable on 2026-08-12, so the "minimum supported = latest stable − 1" policy makes Flutter 3.44.0 / Dart 3.12.0 the new floor (up from 3.38.1 / 3.10.0).

This is a floor raise only. CI installs Flutter by channel (stable), so it already runs 3.47.0 and is green on it — no compat work was needed first. A floor raise is not breaking: existing code keeps compiling, older SDKs simply stop resolving the new version, so there is no ! and the CHANGELOG bullets go under 🔄 Changed.

This is the first of a two-PR stack. #151 migrates the packages to material_ui / cupertino_ui, which require flutter: >=3.44.0 — this PR is what unblocks it.

What changed

  • Two version knobs, in lockstep. melos.yaml is the source of truth and propagates to all five package pubspecs on bootstrap; legacy_version_analyze.yml's flutter_version is the floor's own regression test. That job was pinned to 3.38.10 — a patch of the old floor rather than the floor itself — so it now names the floor exactly and proves what the pubspecs claim. There is no .fvmrc in this repo, so there is no third knob.
  • 5 pubspecs + the root workspace + pubspec.lock. stream_core is pure Dart and correctly carries no flutter constraint.
  • prefer_initializing_formals on 24 previously-silent sites. Raising the Dart constraint raises each package's language version, and Dart 3.12 legalised this._privateField as a named parameter — so the lint's suggested fix only became expressible now. Zero violations before, 24 after; caused by the floor, not by the new stable. Applied via dart fix --apply --code=prefer_initializing_formals.
  • CHANGELOG bullets in stream_core (Dart SDK only), stream_core_flutter and stream_thumbnail. The latter two had no ## Upcoming section — both were just released — so one was added rather than filing under a published version, which changelog_placement would reject.
  • STYLE_GUIDE.md gains the 🔄 Changed heading. Its list covered only features, fixes and removals, and a floor raise is none of those.

Manual review of the dart fix pass

dart fix is mechanical, not thoughtful, so the refactor was audited by hand:

  • Five doc comments were rewritten to the private field name ([cdn][_cdn], [tokenProvider][_tokenProvider], [to]/[listenable][_to]/[_listenable]), leaking private names into public API docs while callers still pass the public name. Reverted — the diff now touches no comment line in either direction (git diff -- '*.dart' | grep -E "^[-+]\s*(///|//)" is empty; checking only added lines would miss deletions).
  • No public parameter renamed. Every introduced this._foo replaced a parameter named exactly foo, so cdn:, listener:, barrierColor:, builder: and friends are unchanged for callers. melos run generate:all produces no diff, confirming the generators still see the same names.

Testing

Check Result
dart analyze --fatal-infos, 4 packages @ 3.47.0 (what CI resolves) clean
same @ 3.44.0 (the new floor) 1 pre-existing info (below)
legacy_version_analyze replicated @ 3.44.0 — stream_core/lib analyze + tests clean / 317 passed
dart format, 441 tracked files @ 3.44.0 and 3.47.0 0 changed
melos run check:barrels, melos run format:verify pass
stream_core / stream_thumbnail tests 317 / 10 passed
stream_core_flutter tests (GITHUB_ACTIONS=true) 362 passed, 42 failed — identical set to the pre-change baseline

On the 42 golden failures: the committed goldens are Linux-rendered and these were run on macOS. The same suite was run on the unchanged tree under the same toolchain and the failure sets diffed — comm returns empty in both directions. Zero introduced, so no golden was regenerated and update_goldens.yml was not dispatched. No .png is touched by this diff.

Note that alchemist here keys on GITHUB_ACTIONS, not CI — a bare flutter test runs the untracked platform goldens instead.

Out of scope (pre-existing, noted for follow-up)

  • stream_theme.dart:221 reports deprecated_member_use_from_same_package on 3.44.0 but not on 3.47.0 (StreamTheme.brightnesscolorScheme.brightness). Pre-existing on the old floor too, and not gated by any job — legacy_version_analyze covers stream_core only. Worth a small follow-up.
  • The root analysis_options.yaml reports removed_lint for avoid_as (removed in Dart 2.12) and deprecated_lint for prefer_final_parameters under 3.47. melos run analyze never analyses that file — it sits outside every package — so neither fails CI today. Cheap to delete now, expensive to hit as a hard failure later.
  • legacy_version_analyze and the weekly beta canary only cover stream_core, with --fatal-warnings on lib/ alone. Neither says anything about stream_core_flutter, stream_thumbnail or the gallery, and neither catches the infos that --fatal-infos turns into failures. That gap is why the floor was verified by hand here.

Not verified: nothing in CI builds for Android or iOS, so this repo has no platform build floors to move — but by the same token the gallery and the thumbnail example are unverified against any Flutter version.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changed

    • Updated minimum supported versions to Dart ^3.12.0 and Flutter >=3.44.0 across the project, packages, examples, and CI checks.
    • Improved asynchronous completion handling and compatibility with the newer SDK requirements.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for adopting future Flutter stable releases and validating compatibility.
    • Documented the new minimum SDK versions in relevant changelogs and style guidance.
  • Refactor

    • Modernized internal configuration and component initialization without changing expected behavior.

xsahil03x and others added 2 commits August 17, 2026 12:11
Adopting a new Flutter stable and raising the published minimum are two
different jobs that share the phrase "bump Flutter", and the second one
is due on a fixed policy (minimum supported = latest stable - 1) rather
than when something breaks. The skill separates them and records what
this repo's CI actually checks, since most of the traps come from gaps
between the jobs:

- A floor raise moves two knobs, not three: `melos.yaml` (source of
  truth, propagated by `melos bs`) and `legacy_version_analyze.yml`.
  There is no `.fvmrc` here, so nothing pins a developer's toolchain to
  the floor.
- Alchemist keys on `GITHUB_ACTIONS`, not the more common `CI`, so the
  obvious local invocation runs the untracked platform goldens and fails
  every golden test for reasons unrelated to the toolchain.
- `package_analysis` analyzes `stream_core/lib` only, with
  `--fatal-warnings`. The beta canary and the N-1 job therefore say
  nothing about the Flutter packages, and nothing at all about the new
  infos that `--fatal-infos` turns into failures.
- `all_lint_rules.yaml` is an explicit list, so a new SDK's rules never
  self-activate, and a removed rule surfaces as `undefined_lint` in that
  file rather than in `analysis_options.yaml`.
- Raising the Dart constraint raises each package's language version,
  which wakes lints whose fix was not previously expressible. `dart fix`
  applies them mechanically and rewrites or deletes doc comments while
  doing so, so the diff needs reading in both directions.
- Nothing in CI builds for Android or iOS, so platform build floors are
  invisible here and must not be reported as verified.

Flutter 3.47.0 went stable on 2026-08-12, so the "minimum supported =
latest stable - 1" policy makes 3.44.0 (Dart 3.12.0) the new floor, up
from 3.38.1 / 3.10.0. This is Track B only: CI already runs the new
stable and is green on it, so no compat work was needed first.

A floor raise is not breaking — existing code keeps compiling, older
SDKs simply stop resolving the new version — so there is no `!` and the
bullets go under a `🔄 Changed` heading. That heading had no entry in
STYLE_GUIDE's list, which covered only features, fixes and removals;
it is added there with the rule that a floor raise belongs under it
rather than under `🛑 Breaking / Removals`.

Two knobs move in lockstep: `melos.yaml`, which is the source of truth
and propagates to all five package pubspecs on bootstrap, and
`legacy_version_analyze.yml`, whose `flutter_version` is the floor's own
regression test. That job was pinned to `3.38.10`, a patch of the old
floor rather than the floor itself; it now names the floor exactly, so
what CI proves is what the pubspecs claim.

Raising the Dart constraint raises each package's language version,
which activated `prefer_initializing_formals` on 24 previously-silent
sites: Dart 3.12 legalised `this._privateField` as a named parameter, so
the lint's suggested fix only became expressible now. Zero issues before
the constraint moved, 24 after — caused by the floor, not by the new
stable. Applied with `dart fix --apply --code=prefer_initializing_formals`
and then audited by hand, since the fix is mechanical:

- It rewrote five doc-comment references to the private field name
  (`[cdn]` -> `[_cdn]`), which would have leaked private names into
  public API docs while callers still pass the public name. Reverted;
  the diff now touches no comment line in either direction.
- Every introduced `this._foo` replaced a parameter named exactly `foo`,
  so no public parameter was renamed. `melos run generate:all` produces
  no diff, confirming the generators still see the same names.

Verified at both ends: `dart analyze --fatal-infos` is clean across all
four packages on 3.47.0 (what CI resolves) and reports only one
pre-existing info on 3.44.0 (the floor). `stream_core` 317 tests and
`stream_thumbnail` 10 tests pass; `stream_core_flutter` fails the same
42 macOS-vs-Linux goldens as before the change, an identical set, so no
golden was regenerated. Barrels and formatting pass.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 35c6b

The version-floor update includes constructor changes that still leave existing named-argument call sites and public APIs inconsistent, which can cause analyzer or compilation failures and break consumers; iOS thumbnail generation also does not explicitly handle a null native result. These concrete merge-readiness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

`all_lint_rules.yaml` is a full enumeration of the linter's rules, so it
goes stale on every SDK bump rather than growing on its own. Dart 3.13
added 15 and renamed one (`no_runtimeType_toString` ->
`no_runtimetype_tostring`); all are recognised by the 3.47 analyzer, and
none reports `undefined_lint` under the 3.44 floor.

Three of them fire on existing code, 15 sites in total:

- `async_return_with_no_await` (11) — each returned a future from an
  `async` body without awaiting it. Awaited rather than dropping `async`,
  which keeps the frame in the stack trace and leaves error timing alone.
- `no_dynamic_casts` (3) — a `jsonDecode` result and two platform-channel
  replies were implicitly cast from `dynamic`. Made explicit; the casts
  already happened and threw the same way, they were just invisible.
- `simple_directive_paths` (1) — `stream_color_scheme.dart` reached its
  sibling through `../../theme/primitives/`, unlike the two imports
  beside it.

Two rules are disabled rather than adopted:

- `unnecessary_await_in_return` directly contradicts
  `async_return_with_no_await` — it wants the `await` the other one
  demands, and 6 of the 11 sites above reported both at once. The newer
  rule wins.
- `migrate_design_widgets` guards the `material_ui` migration, which
  lands separately. On this branch it fires on all 195
  `package:flutter/material.dart` imports, so it stays listed and off
  until that work merges.

Verified: analyze, barrels and formatting clean; `stream_core` 317 tests
and `stream_thumbnail` 10 pass; `stream_core_flutter` fails the same 42
macOS-vs-Linux goldens as before, an identical set.

…fought it

The previous commit resolved the clash between `async_return_with_no_await`
and `unnecessary_await_in_return` the wrong way round: it disabled the
rule the repo already had and rewrote 11 `return future` statements into
`return await future` to satisfy the new one.

Reverses that. `unnecessary_await_in_return` goes back to enabled and the
11 rewrites are undone, so the code is exactly as it was; the new rule is
listed but off.

Awaiting only pays for itself inside a `try`, where it decides whether the
function catches its own errors — none of the 11 sites is in one, so all
the rewrite bought was a stack frame. It also dragged the change through
platform-channel and web code that no test covers, which is what dropped
patch coverage to 16% on the previous push.

What the new rules genuinely caught — three implicit `dynamic` casts and
one needlessly indirect import path — is unaffected and stays.

The previous commit landed only part of it. `git checkout <ref> -- <paths>`
stages as it writes, so the commit picked up exactly those eight files and
the `git add` that was meant to catch the rest ran from a package
directory, where its `.` pathspec matched nothing.

Left behind, and included here:

- `analysis_options.yaml` — `unnecessary_await_in_return` back to enabled
  and `async_return_with_no_await` off, which is the whole point of the
  revert. Without it CI kept the rules the wrong way round and reported
  all eight reverted sites.
- The three `return await` in `stream_thumbnail_method_channel.dart`,
  which the checkout did not cover because that file also carries the
  `no_dynamic_casts` fixes and had to be edited rather than restored.

Checked the premise behind it first: of the 11 sites the rule flags, none
returns from inside a `try`, and the 11 returns that are inside one all
return synchronous values. So the case where the `await` changes behaviour
— letting the function catch its own errors — does not occur here, and the
note can just say so.

`no_dynamic_casts` made an existing implicit cast visible, and the cast
turned out to be reachable: `StreamThumbnailPlugin.m` returns `nil` when
generation fails and passes it straight to `result(data)`, so Flutter
receives `null`, `result != true` holds, and the value was cast to a
non-nullable `Object`. The caller got a `TypeError` about the cast rather
than anything describing the failure. Android never reaches it — it
replies `true` and delivers through the `result#data` callback.

Widening `_resolveFuture` to `Object?` would only move the problem: the
completers are `Completer<Object>` behind a `T extends Object` bound, and
`thumbnailData`, `thumbnailFile` and `thumbnailFiles` all promise a
value, so a null would fail at the caller's `await` instead — one frame
later and less legibly. A missing thumbnail is a failure, not a value, so
it now completes as a `PlatformException`, the path `_resolveFuture`
already had for errors.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #150. Behaviour before this commit was the same
cast, written implicitly, so this is a latent bug the new lint surfaced
rather than a regression it introduced.

The entry the previous commit owed: it changes published behaviour, so
per STYLE_GUIDE it belongs under Upcoming in the package changelog.

`invokeMethod` returns `Future<T?>`, but with no type argument `T` infers
as `dynamic` — which is where `no_dynamic_casts` was pointing. The
previous commit answered it by casting the result; naming the type is the
better answer, since the reply then arrives as `Object?` and there is
nothing to cast.

`<Object>` rather than anything narrower: all three methods answer `true`
on Android before delivering out-of-band through the reverse callbacks,
so `<String>` or `<Uint8List>` would throw there.

Typing the replies made the `file` branch's silent assumption visible —
`result as String` on an `Object?` trips `cast_nullable_to_non_nullable`,
where the same cast from `dynamic` had been invisible. It now completes
as a failure for anything that is not a path, matching the other two
branches, so the reverse-callback protocol is handled the same way in all
three places.

Reverts the null-result work — the `PlatformException` on a missing
thumbnail, its regression test, the typed `invokeMethod<Object>` replies
and the CHANGELOG entry. All of it was chased down from a CodeRabbit
comment on the two explicit casts, and none of it belongs in a PR whose
subject is the SDK floor and the lint list.

What stays is the smallest thing that satisfies `no_dynamic_casts`: the
two implicit `dynamic` -> `Object` casts, written explicitly. Behaviour
is byte-for-byte what it was before this PR, a null reply included — the
cast was always there, just invisible.

Also untracks `example/linux/**`, which a `git add packages/stream_thumbnail`
swept in while committing that work. Those files are generated by a Linux
build and were untracked before.

The underlying bug is real and still unfixed: iOS answers a failed
generation with `result(nil)` while the `file` branch beside it answers
with a `FlutterError`, so a null reaches Dart and dies on the cast. Fixing
that belongs in the plugin, in its own PR, with an iOS build to verify —
nothing in CI compiles the native sources.
