Running the app on an emulator for the first time showed two problems that the
unit tests could not have caught, because both are about what the pixels
actually do.
The configured initial zoom of 7.2 puts the viewport entirely inside the
region on a 411dp-wide screen, so the map rendered as a flat expanse of fill
colour with no outline, border or reference point anywhere in view — it read as
a failure to load. A single zoom number cannot frame a region on both a phone
and a tablet, so the camera now fits the region bounds once the map is ready,
which is correct at any screen size. The configured zoom stays as the starting
position before the fit.
The attribution bar sat behind the system gesture pill. A credit that is
covered by the navigation bar is a credit that is not being displayed, which is
the thing ODbL and CC BY-SA actually require, so it now sits inside a SafeArea.
Also records how to run and screenshot the app on the `nuvolari` AVD, and notes
the pre-existing broken `pixel_7_-_api_35` AVD that is holding 4.8 GB.
Verified on the emulator: the region outline is framed with margin, the
attribution bar is clear of the pill, and the Sources screen shows the
disclaimer, all four credits with their licences, the "no licence stated" line
for ARPA and the share-alike note.

Introduces the RadarSource seam and the manifest it speaks, plus the demo
frames that make the app runnable with no network and no credentials.
MockRadarSource is a real adapter rather than test scaffolding, and that is
what makes the rest of milestone 3 testable: the timeline, prefetching, cache
eviction and every degraded path can be exercised offline because the demo
frames parse the same manifest document the Python worker will publish. Its
assets come from tool/generate_mock_frames.py — committed so the app runs from
a clone, generated by a script so they can be regenerated instead of
hand-edited. Twenty-four 512x512 frames total 108 KB, and the generator is
pure standard library so nobody needs Pillow to build the app.
The manifest parser rejects three things that would otherwise fail silently and
look plausible:
- A CRS other than EPSG:3857. The map overlays each PNG on a lat/lng quad,
which only lines up if the image is already in Web Mercator; anything else
renders visibly skewed with no error to explain why.
- A missing attribution. The frames are a derived product of CC BY-SA data, so
the credit has to travel with them rather than be remembered at render time.
- Legend stops that do not ascend, which would silently mislabel intensities.
The legend travels in the manifest rather than living as a constant here,
because the worker chose those colours when it rendered the PNGs and a local
copy could drift. RadarLegend.colorFor returns null below the lowest stop:
"no precipitation" has to be transparent, not the first colour of the ramp, or
a dry region renders as drizzle everywhere.
Every failure reaches the caller as a single RadarUnavailableException
regardless of cause, because the app's response is the same in all of them —
hold the last good frame and say how old it is — and branching on cause would
only invite divergence.
ArpaRadarSource is a stub whose every method throws. It is named by the region
config as unavailable and must fail loudly: quietly serving something else
would misreport where the data came from.
Verified: analyze clean, 95 tests passing, including a check that every frame
the manifest lists exists and is a real PNG, and that its bbox matches the
region config.

Puts a MapLibre map on screen framed on the region, with the credit
obligations that come with showing third-party data satisfied structurally
rather than by remembering to add a label.
The base map style comes from MAP_STYLE_URL, and with no key configured the
app generates a fallback style from the region's own bounding box: a flat
background and the extent outline, no network sources at all. That keeps a
fresh clone runnable offline without pulling in a boundary dataset that would
carry its own licence, and it deliberately looks like a placeholder so it is
not mistaken for a finished map.
Attribution is driven by what is actually rendered. The bar lists the credits
for the active sources only, because crediting OpenStreetMap while showing the
fallback style would be a false attribution, and it says plainly when no base
map is configured. It sits below the map rather than floating over it so no
map control or gesture overlay can occlude a credit that the ODbL and CC BY-SA
terms require to be visible.
The Sources screen leads with the independence disclaimer, before the sources
it qualifies, so a reader who stops after the first screenful has still seen
it. Sources with no stated licence — ARPA publishes none for the alert
bulletin — say so explicitly rather than being shown bare or given an invented
one. A separate note explains that the rendered radar frames inherit CC BY-SA
from the DPC source data.
Also declares the INTERNET permission in the main manifest: Flutter injects it
into the debug and profile manifests only, so a release build would otherwise
fail every request on device.
Verified: analyze clean, 66 tests passing, appbundle builds with the native
MapLibre plugin. Not verified visually — this machine has no Android device or
emulator image, so nobody has watched the map render.

Creates the app skeleton and the seam everything else in the project hangs
off: region-specific data lives in an asset file, not in code, so adding a
region later is a new JSON file rather than a refactor.
Notable choices:
- applicationId and namespace are it.nuvolari.app rather than the doubled
it.nuvolari.nuvolari that `flutter create` produces, with the Kotlin package
and the iOS bundle identifiers moved to match.
- SDK levels are pinned instead of inherited from `flutter.*`. Google Play
requires API 36, and that is a release blocker rather than something to let a
Flutter upgrade change silently. minSdk 24 is the highest floor the planned
dependencies impose.
- Riverpod and Dio-free for now, no code generation: see docs/stack-decisions.md.
- Italian is the l10n source language, so app_it.arb is the template rather
than a translation of an English original.
The region parser rejects rather than repairs. An inverted bounding box, a map
centre outside its own bounds, an unknown adapter name, a duplicate zone code
or an empty attribution list all throw with the offending field named. Each of
those would otherwise fail silently and visibly wrong: a swapped latitude and
longitude renders the radar in the wrong place, an unknown adapter falling back
to mock would show demo frames where live data was expected, and a missing
attribution is a licence violation rather than a cosmetic gap.
Tests run against the asset that actually ships and against a captured copy of
the live ARPA CAP feed, so the eleven zone codes in the config are checked
against the eleven the feed really emits rather than against a list retyped
from documentation.
Verified: dart format clean, flutter analyze 0 issues, 50 tests passing,
flutter build appbundle --debug produces an AAB with applicationId
it.nuvolari.app, minSdk 24, targetSdk 36.
