hint_kit 1.3.0

Tooltips, persistent hints and spotlight guided tours from one overlay engine, one placement resolver and one theme. Zero runtime dependencies.

Changelog

1.3.0

• Bubbles are spoken as semantic live regions, replacing the SemanticsService.announce call Android deprecates.
• Fixed HintRegistry.resetShowOnce doing nothing to a hint that is already on screen.
• A hint re-reads its showOnce flag when the key changes.
• No API changes. Tests that asserted an announcement should assert isLiveRegion on the bubble instead.

1.2.1

• Documented conditional steps, step timeouts and the two storage wires in the README.
• Linked the API reference from the README and pubspec.
