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". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Roadmap
|
|
|
|
Each milestone ends with `tool/verify.ps1` green and one commit. A milestone is not
|
|
done until its acceptance criteria hold.
|
|
|
|
Legend: ✅ done · 🔨 in progress · ⛔ blocked on credentials from the project owner
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## M0 — Toolchain and repository hygiene ✅
|
|
|
|
Flutter 3.47.3 stable, Android SDK (platform-tools, platform 36, build-tools 36.0.0),
|
|
JDK 21, environment variables. Commit the removal of the old Xamarin skeleton.
|
|
|
|
**Accepts when:** `flutter doctor -v` reports no blocking Android toolchain error and
|
|
`git status` is clean.
|
|
|
|
**Done.** `flutter doctor -v` reports "No issues found!". Installed: Flutter 3.47.3 at
|
|
`C:\src\flutter` (telemetry disabled), Android SDK at `C:\Android\Sdk` with
|
|
platform 36, build-tools 36.0.0, platform-tools and all licences accepted, and
|
|
`JAVA_HOME` pointing at the JDK 21 a previous Visual Studio install had already left
|
|
on the machine.
|
|
|
|
## M1 — Scaffold, Italian l10n, region config, CI ✅
|
|
|
|
`flutter create` with applicationId `it.nuvolari.app`; `flutter_localizations` + `intl`
|
|
with `app_it.arb` as template and no hardcoded UI strings; `RegionConfig` loaded from
|
|
`assets/regions/piemonte.json` with parsing tests; `.gitignore`, `env.example.json`,
|
|
`tool/verify.ps1`, `.gitea/workflows/ci.yml`.
|
|
|
|
**Accepts when:** `flutter analyze` reports 0 issues, `flutter test` passes,
|
|
`flutter build appbundle --debug` succeeds.
|
|
|
|
**Done.** All four stages green; the AAB carries applicationId `it.nuvolari.app`,
|
|
minSdk 24, targetSdk 36. 50 tests, including assertions against the shipped Piemonte
|
|
asset and a captured copy of the live ARPA CAP feed.
|
|
|
|
> The Gitea instance may have no Actions runner. The workflow file is written to be
|
|
> GitHub-Actions compatible, but `tool/verify.ps1` is the verification that must pass.
|
|
|
|
## M2 — Map, attribution, Sources screen ✅
|
|
|
|
MapLibre with the style from `MAP_STYLE_URL`, falling back to a local minimal style.
|
|
Permanent OSM/ODbL attribution. Sources / Licenses / Disclaimer screen covering
|
|
Radar-DPC (CC BY-SA), MET Norway, ARPA, OSM, with the explicit "not an official app"
|
|
disclaimer.
|
|
|
|
**Accepts when:** the map opens centred on Piedmont, attribution is visible at all
|
|
times, and the Sources screen is reachable and complete.
|
|
|
|
**Done**, with one gap. The fallback style is generated from the region bounding box
|
|
rather than loaded from an asset, so it needs no third-party boundary dataset and no
|
|
network. The attribution bar lists only the sources actually rendered — crediting
|
|
OpenStreetMap while showing the fallback would be a false attribution — and sits below
|
|
the map rather than floating over it so no map control can occlude it.
|
|
|
|
**Verified on an emulator** (`nuvolari`, API 36.1, x86_64, GPU host). Running it caught
|
|
two things the unit tests could not: the configured initial zoom put the viewport
|
|
entirely inside the region so the map read as a blank expanse, and the attribution bar
|
|
sat behind the system gesture pill. Both fixed — the camera now fits the region bounds
|
|
at runtime, which works on any screen size, and the bar is inside a SafeArea.
|
|
|
|
## M3 — Animation and timeline ✅
|
|
|
|
`RadarSource` with `MockRadarSource` (synthetic frames in assets) and `DpcRadarSource`.
|
|
Timeline scrubber, play/pause, adjacent-frame prefetch, `FrameCache` LRU, animation
|
|
suspended in background, graceful degradation with a data-age banner.
|
|
|
|
**Accepts when:** animation runs smoothly in demo mode **with the network off**, and
|
|
prefetch, LRU eviction and the fallback paths are covered by tests.
|
|
|
|
**Done and verified on the emulator.** The overlay is double buffered, the timeline
|
|
lands on the newest frame, playback advances and wraps, scrubbing takes over from
|
|
playback, and the legend is drawn from the manifest rather than a constant.
|
|
|
|
Running it caught three things the tests had not:
|
|
|
|
- The notifier wrote to `state` from inside `build()`, which Riverpod rejects as an
|
|
uninitialised provider. This 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, so it never showed the
|
|
working state it exists to demonstrate. `MockRadarSource` now shifts the bundled
|
|
timestamps onto the present, leaving images, order and spacing untouched.
|
|
|
|
Frame caching is in memory only for now: mock frames are already in the asset bundle
|
|
and a disk layer belongs with the network adapter, where it would save a real request.
|
|
|
|
## M4 — Forecast
|
|
|
|
`MetNoForecastSource` with the mandatory identifying User-Agent, honouring `Expires`
|
|
and `If-Modified-Since`. `IconIt2Source` as a flagged fallback. Hourly and daily views.
|
|
|
|
**Accepts when:** a forecast renders for a Piedmont location, caching respects the
|
|
response headers, and fixture-based tests pass.
|
|
|
|
## M5 — UMP consent and AdMob ⛔
|
|
|
|
UMP consent form before any ad request; non-personalised ads when consent is declined.
|
|
Anchored adaptive banner — never over the map, never an interstitial during animation.
|
|
**Test ad unit IDs only** until real ones are supplied.
|
|
|
|
**Blocked on:** AdMob App ID and ad unit IDs.
|
|
|
|
## M6 — Rain notifications and alerts ⛔
|
|
|
|
`ArpaCapAlertSource` reading the CAP feed through the backend; zones `Piem-A`…`Piem-M`
|
|
with levels shown verbatim and a link to the official bulletin. Rain notifications via
|
|
FCM topics per geographic cell, subscribed from the device.
|
|
|
|
**Blocked on:** Firebase project and `google-services.json`.
|
|
|
|
## M7 — Android home widget
|
|
|
|
Glance widget showing the latest frame and the next rain, refreshed by WorkManager.
|
|
|
|
**Accepts when:** the widget renders a real frame on the home screen and updates.
|
|
|
|
## M8 — Backend worker ⛔
|
|
|
|
`dpc_client` (with the `origin` header), `crop` (bbox + reproject to EPSG:3857),
|
|
`palette` (dBZ colormap, legend exported into the manifest), `render` (RGBA PNG,
|
|
transparent below threshold), `manifest`, and `publisher/` with `LocalPublisher` and
|
|
`S3Publisher`. WebSocket trigger with cron fallback. pysteps nowcast present but
|
|
disabled behind a flag.
|
|
|
|
**Accepts when:** `python -m pytest` passes and one full run produces PNGs plus a
|
|
`manifest.json` that the app consumes from a local server.
|
|
|
|
**Blocked on (publishing only):** VPS / object storage endpoint and credentials.
|
|
Development proceeds against `LocalPublisher`.
|
|
|
|
## M9 — Play Store release preparation ⛔
|
|
|
|
Signing config reading `key.properties`, release AAB, target API 36, privacy policy
|
|
draft, store listing copy, Data safety draft, prominent disclosure for location.
|
|
|
|
**Blocked on:** upload keystore and Play Console account.
|

## Verifying on the emulator
|
|
|
|
An AVD named `nuvolari` is set up on this machine: API 36.1, `google_apis`, x86_64,
|
|
GPU passthrough to the host. It uses a 2 GB data partition and no SD card because disk
|
|
is tight, and quickboot snapshots are disabled — they cost 2.6 GB to save a few seconds
|
|
of boot, which is the wrong trade here. Expect a cold boot of a minute or so.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Boot it
|
|
"$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator" -avd nuvolari -no-audio -no-boot-anim -gpu host
|
|
|
|
# Build, install, launch
|
|
cd app
|
|
flutter build apk --debug
|
|
adb install -r build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk
|
|
adb shell am start -n it.nuvolari.app/.MainActivity
|
|
|
|
# Capture what it looks like
|
|
adb exec-out screencap -p > screen.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`flutter run -d emulator-5554` works too and gives hot reload; the steps above are what
|
|
a non-interactive session uses.
|
|
|
|
> An unrelated AVD, `pixel_7_-_api_35`, is present but broken — its system image
|
|
> (`android-35/google_apis_playstore`) is not installed, so it cannot boot. It occupies
|
|
> about 4.8 GB. It predates this project and has been left alone.
