Alby96andClaude Opus 5 f3a0e3794a Narrow scope to radar, and put the app on a real OpenStreetMap base map
Drops forecasts, lightning, the home-screen widget and advertising. What
remains is radar on a map, the official ARPA alert bulletin, and rain
notifications.

The base map is now OpenFreeMap's Positron style: real OpenStreetMap vector
tiles with no API key, no registration, no request limits and commercial use
permitted. Every other free tier — MapTiler, Stadia, Jawg, Thunderforest —
needs a key, which is a secret to manage, a quota to outgrow and a signup to
complete before anyone can build the project, and the map is the one thing the
app cannot work without. Positron rather than Liberty or Bright because the
radar overlay has to be the loudest thing on screen, and a desaturated grey
base is built to sit under data.

Its style JSON carries no `attribution` field, so MapLibre displays no credits
by itself. The app renders them from the region config instead: the two
mandatory credits, OpenStreetMap and OpenMapTiles, go in the always-visible
bar, and OpenFreeMap's own credit — optional by their terms — is listed on the
Sources screen with the rest. The bundled offline style is still reachable with
MAP_STYLE_URL=offline, and still claims no base map attribution, because
crediting OpenStreetMap while showing it would be a false claim.

Radar-DPC stays the source. ARPA Piemonte's own radar remains a disabled stub
for two reasons that belong to the project owner, not to the code: the
real-time access link is only issued by email, and the open-data page states
the data is "gratuiti" and nothing else. Free of charge is not a licence, and
rendering those volumes into frames served from a CDN is redistribution. Both
questions go in the same email. An earlier draft of the docs recorded ARPA
radar as CC BY 4.0; the source page does not support that, so the claim is
removed rather than carried forward.

The documentation is updated throughout rather than annotated: CLAUDE.md gains
an explicit scope boundary, data-sources drops MET Norway and ISTAT and gains
the base map, licenses records that free of charge is not a licence, privacy
loses the whole advertising section, and the roadmap is renumbered so the
backend worker is next — until it exists, DpcRadarSource has nothing to read.

licenses.md keeps Open-Meteo and Blitzortung listed as excluded even though the
features that would have used them are gone: both are non-commercial-only, ads
are a plausible future, and neither should be adopted on the grounds that there
are none today.

Verified: analyze clean, 130 tests passing, and on the emulator the radar
overlay sits correctly over Piedmont on real OSM tiles with Turin, Milan and
Genoa labelled, the age reads "Aggiornato 4 minuti fa", and the Sources screen
lists all five credits with their licences.

Alby96andClaude Opus 5 91f9ac0fbf Animate the radar timeline with a double-buffered overlay
Completes milestone 3: frames render over the map, play as a loop, and can be
scrubbed, with the legend drawn from the manifest rather than a constant that
could drift from what the worker actually rendered.

The overlay alternates two MapLibre image sources. Updating one source in place
flickers, because the layer briefly shows a half-written texture; adding every
frame as its own layer avoids that but pins them all in GPU memory, and twenty
512x512 RGBA frames is about 80 MB. Two buffers cost the same whether the
timeline holds six frames or sixty. Platform-channel work is serialised because
`show` is called faster than the round trip completes during playback, and
overlapping updates would swap visibility out of order and strobe.

Prefetching loads a window around the playhead, nearest first and forward
before backward, since playback moves forward and that frame is needed
soonest. `FrameCache` is byte-budgeted rather than entry-counted because frame
size tracks how much precipitation is on screen, and it evicts by distance from
the playhead: plain LRU would keep frames the prefetcher touched a moment ago
even after the playhead moved to the far end of the timeline.

Also adds DpcRadarSource, which reads published frames from our CDN and never
from the DPC API. Without it, the `dpc` adapter would have had to fall back to
mock, putting demo frames on screen under the label of live data — exactly the
confusion the adapter split exists to prevent. It now fails naming the missing
setting instead.

Running it on the emulator caught three things the tests had not:

- The notifier wrote to `state` from inside `build()`, which Riverpod rejects
  as an uninitialised provider. That broke startup, not just tests.
- Eight-month-old demo frames rendered as "Aggiornato 342535 minuti fa". The
  age formatter now steps up to hours and days.
- Demo mode sat permanently behind a stale-data warning and so never showed the
  working state it exists to demonstrate. MockRadarSource now shifts the
  bundled timestamps onto the present, leaving images, order and spacing
  untouched, so the timeline behaves exactly as it would on live data.

Corrects docs/stack-decisions.md, which described a disk cache that was not
built: mock frames already live in the asset bundle, so a disk layer belongs
with the network adapter where it would save a real request.

Verified: analyze clean, 129 tests passing, and on the emulator the loop
advances, wraps, and reports "Aggiornato ora".

Alby96andClaude Opus 5 3fcbb9f1c4 Add monorepo scaffolding and project documentation
Sets up the Nuvolari monorepo layout (app/, backend/, docs/, tool/) with the
groundwork that does not depend on the Flutter toolchain: gitignore covering
Flutter, Python and every secret file shape; env.example.json as the template
for --dart-define-from-file; a verification script that skips stages whose
target does not exist yet so it is runnable from day one; and a CI workflow in
GitHub Actions syntax so it runs unchanged on Gitea or GitHub.

The documentation records facts verified against the live services rather than
restated from the brief. Two of them change the design:

- DPC VMI rasters are 1200x1400 Float32 on a 1 km grid in a custom projection
  centred on Italy, not EPSG:4326 or EPSG:3857, and their GeoKeys are
  internally inconsistent. Reprojection is mandatory and the source CRS must be
  read from each file rather than hardcoded.
- The ARPA CAP feed carries six level values, not four: BIANCO for the
  avalanche scale out of season and "-" for no data. Collapsing either into
  VERDE would report "no alert" where the bulletin reports "not assessed".

Also documents why the frames we publish inherit CC BY-SA from the DPC source,
and why rain notifications subscribe to cell topics from the device so no user
location ever reaches a server.
