0.0.5 - 2026-07-26

Added

• Model.save() now exposes the backend's per-field 422 errors instead of discarding them. save() returned only a bool, so a form that wrote through the ORM could tell that a remote save failed but not why, and every 422 collapsed into a generic "something went wrong" toast. A failed remote save now captures the Laravel validation shape ({"message": ..., "errors": {"field": ["message"]}}) into two new members on InteractsWithPersistence: validationErrors (Map<String, List<String>>) and validationError(field) (the first message for one field). The map is cleared at the start of every remote save, so it stays empty after a save that succeeded or carried no field errors, and it also stays empty when the remote leg throws (a transport failure), which is how a caller distinguishes a field-validation failure from a network failure: an empty map plus a false return means "render a generic error". It is deeply unmodifiable (both the map and each message list), and it tracks the REMOTE leg rather than save()'s return value, so a hybrid model (useRemote and useLocal) whose remote save 422s while its local write succeeds returns true with the errors filled. The bool return contract is unchanged, so this is purely additive for existing callers. Touches lib/src/database/eloquent/concerns/interacts_with_persistence.dart; covered by the InteractsWithPersistence validation errors group in test/database/eloquent/model_test.dart; documented in doc/eloquent/getting-started.md (Inserting & Updating -> Validation Errors) and skills/magic-framework/references/forms-validation.md (Server Error Mapping).

• MagicRouter now re-runs its redirect chain when auth state changes, not only on navigation. The router evaluated its guards (the 'auth' / 'guest' redirects) only while resolving a route, so a login or logout that happened while the user was already sitting on a page (a token expiry, a background sign-out, a successful login on the auth screen) did not move them off a now-forbidden route until the next manual navigation. The router now listens to the auth guard's state notifier and refreshes routerConfig on a change, so an auth transition re-evaluates redirects immediately (an expired session bounces to login; a login leaves the guest-only auth screen). Consumers with no bound auth guard are unaffected (the notifier is absent and the listener is a no-op). Touches lib/src/routing/magic_router.dart; covered by test/routing/router_auth_refresh_test.dart.

Fixed

• MagicFeedback toasts now show in Scaffold-less (Wind-only) views instead of throwing or silently doing nothing. Magic.error / Magic.success / MagicFeedback.info routed through ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar, which asserts _scaffolds.isNotEmpty when no Material Scaffold hosts the view. In a Wind-built screen (no Scaffold) that assertion escaped the caller's own try/catch and stalled the flow. Toast delivery now goes through the Navigator overlay, read from navigatorKey.currentState.overlay (NOT Overlay.maybeOf, which sits above that overlay), as a single non-interactive auto-dismissing bottom entry that replaces the previous one and degrades to a logged warning when no overlay is available (never throwing). The Magic.error / success / toast API surface is unchanged; only the delivery path is. Touches lib/src/ui/magic_feedback.dart; covered by test/ui/magic_feedback_test.dart.
• MagicFeedback overlay toasts render clean text and degrade without throwing. The overlay toast content was not wrapped in a Material, so its text inherited the root fallback DefaultTextStyle (the yellow debug double-underline); it now sits under a transparent Material, matching the dialog / loading builders. The unused backgroundColor / color parameters on showSnackbar (the overlay path never applied them) are removed, and the degrade-path warnings now log through Log only when the log service is bound (falling back to debugPrint), so feedback triggered before Magic.init binds logging degrades instead of throwing Service [log] is not registered. Touches lib/src/ui/magic_feedback.dart; covered by test/ui/magic_feedback_test.dart.
• TitleManager treats a blank title suffix as absent. A null suffix was already skipped, but an empty or whitespace suffix (e.g. an unset APP_NAME resolving to "") still produced "Route | " with a trailing separator and an empty tail. A blank suffix is now treated as absent (via _withSuffix), so the browser tab shows just the route title. Touches lib/src/routing/title_manager.dart; covered by test/routing/title_manager_test.dart.

0.0.4 - 2026-07-08

Added

• design:sync + design:lint commands make DESIGN.md the single source of truth for the app theme. Two new commands join MagicArtisanProvider. design:sync parses a DESIGN.md (YAML front matter: color roles with a single-file dark: overlay, typography, rounded, spacing, and components carrying {colors.x} / {rounded.x} / {spacing.x} references; the markdown body is ignored), resolves the references against a dotted-path symbol table with a cycle guard, and emits a wind theme source file (--output, default lib/config/wind_theme.g.dart). The generated file exposes Map<String, String> designAliases carrying the 17 property-prefixed semantic keys (bg-surface, text-fg, border-color-border, ...) with arbitrary-hex light + dark: pairs ('bg-surface': 'bg-[#f9f9ff] dark:bg-[#0f1419]'), drop-in for WindThemeData(aliases: ...) and matching the MagicStarterTokens.defaultAliases contract, plus a brand primary MaterialColor with a generated 50-900 ramp (seeded from the DESIGN.md primary light hex) for WindThemeData.toThemeData() Material interop. It writes atomically via .tmp + rename and is idempotent (byte-identical output on re-run for an unchanged DESIGN.md). design:lint validates a DESIGN.md against six rules ported from the open design.md reference linter and adapted to the wind-flavored superset: broken-ref (error), missing-primary (warning), unknown-key (warning; the dark: overlay lives inside colors and is structurally never a top-level key, so it is never flagged), section-order (warning), missing-sections (info), orphaned-tokens (warning, with Material Design 3 baseline families exempt), and contrast-ratio (warning; a greenfield WCAG relative-luminance helper does sRGB channel linearization + the 4.5:1 ratio check on each component backgroundColor / textColor pair). The Tailwind/DTCG export-conformance and rem-based spacing/rounded rules from the reference linter are intentionally dropped (wind uses 4px logical spacing and arbitrary-hex aliases). The command exits nonzero only on an error-severity finding. Touches lib/src/cli/commands/design_sync_command.dart, lib/src/cli/commands/design_lint_command.dart, lib/src/cli/helpers/design_md_parser.dart, lib/src/cli/magic_artisan_provider.dart; adds test/cli/commands/{design_sync,design_lint}_command_test.dart + test/cli/helpers/design_md_parser_test.dart; documented in doc/packages/magic-cli.md (including the DESIGN.md format page).
• previews:refresh + make:component codegen commands for the design-first preview catalog. Two new commands join MagicArtisanProvider. previews:refresh scans a configurable target directory (--path, default lib) for *.preview.dart files, extracts the single public *Preview class from each via regex (the private _*State companion of a stateful preview is ignored), validates the class name is a clean PascalCase identifier before interpolation, fails fast on a slug collision, sorts deterministically, and renders <scan-dir>/_previews.g.dart through an atomic .tmp + rename. The generated file returns a freshly-built List<PreviewEntry> from the previewEntries() FUNCTION (never a top-level const list) so the dev-only catalog tree-shakes from release builds (dart-lang/sdk#33920); it imports PreviewEntry from package:magic_devtools/preview.dart and each preview widget by its path relative to the generated file (preview files are not exported from any barrel). Re-running the command produces a byte-identical file. make:component <Name> [--variants=intent,size] [--slots] extends ArtisanGeneratorCommand and scaffolds the canonical 4-file atomic component folder under lib/ui/components/<name>/ (<name>.dart, <name>.recipe.dart, <name>.preview.dart, index.dart): the class is unprefixed PascalCase, the recipe is seeded with the requested variant axes (or a WindSlotRecipe shape under --slots), the index re-exports the component + recipe but not the preview, then the command chains previews:refresh so the new preview lands in _previews.g.dart. Touches lib/src/cli/commands/previews_refresh_command.dart, lib/src/cli/commands/make_component_command.dart, lib/src/cli/helpers/previews_index_writer.dart, lib/src/cli/helpers/magic_stub_loader.dart (adds loadFrom), lib/src/cli/magic_artisan_provider.dart, and six stubs under assets/stubs/; adds test/cli/commands/{previews_refresh,make_component}_command_test.dart.
• magic:install --with-devtools wires the debug trio in one step. Installing the optional debug tooling (magic_devtools + fluttersdk_dusk + fluttersdk_telescope) previously meant a manual multi-step bootstrap: add three deps, run plugin:install twice, then dusk:install + telescope:install. The new --with-devtools flag does all of it after the core install: it adds the three packages to dependencies (regular, not dev_dependencies, because lib/main.dart imports them and the kDebugMode gate tree-shakes the subsystem from release builds, so dev_dependencies would trip depend_on_referenced_packages) and wires lib/main.dart under kDebugMode exactly as dusk:install / telescope:install do: DuskPlugin.install() and TelescopePlugin.install() (plus ExceptionWatcher + DumpWatcher) before Magic.init(), then MagicDuskIntegration.install() and MagicTelescopeIntegration.install() after it. The wiring is a pure-functional, idempotent transform (buildDevtoolsWiring) over the generated main.dart, and the dep-add rides the same installer.addDependency mechanism the install already uses, so re-running magic:install --with-devtools never duplicates a wiring block or a dependency entry. The injected package imports are placed within the existing package-import group (before the relative config/... imports, with package:flutter/foundation.dart ordered before package:flutter/material.dart), so the generated main.dart stays directives_ordering-clean and a freshly installed app emits no analyzer warnings. Absent the flag, nothing changes for the existing install path. Touches lib/src/cli/commands/magic_install_command.dart; adds the MagicInstallCommand.buildDevtoolsWiring test group plus a real-FS full-install group to test/cli/commands/magic_install_command_test.dart.
• MagicMiddleware.redirectTarget(String location) for pre-build redirect guards. Redirect-style guards (auth / guest) can now return a redirect target synchronously, evaluated inside the router's redirect callback BEFORE any page builds. Previously the only way to redirect was an imperative MagicRoute.to() inside handle(), which runs post-mount and remounts the destination view, recreating its form state on every mount (the login-double-mount bug). _handleRedirect now evaluates every matched route's global + route middleware redirectTarget and returns the first non-null target. The default returns null, and handle() now defaults to next(), so a redirect-only guard overrides just redirectTarget. Fully backward compatible: existing handle()-based guards keep working. Touches lib/src/http/middleware/magic_middleware.dart, lib/src/routing/magic_router.dart; adds test/routing/redirect_guard_mount_test.dart (asserts the destination mounts exactly once, including through a layout ShellRoute).

Fixed

• Pick.saveFile is source-compatible with file_picker 12. file_picker 12 made FilePicker.saveFile's fileName and bytes parameters required and non-null, which broke the analyzer build (argument_type_not_assignable) under a fresh flutter pub get that resolved the newer file_picker. Pick.saveFile keeps its nullable facade surface but now guards both arguments before forwarding, so the call type-checks against file_picker 11 and 12 and a null argument fails with a clear ArgumentError instead of an unhelpful type error. Touches lib/src/facades/pick.dart.
• file_picker constraint tightened to exclude the 12.0.0 prerelease line. The constraint is now >=11.0.2 <12.0.0-0 to lock the 11.x stable releases and exclude every 12.0.0-* prerelease. A <12.0.0 bound would NOT have been enough: pub_semver orders prereleases below the stable release (12.0.0-beta < 12.0.0), so 12.0.0-beta still satisfied it; the -0 suffix is the lowest possible prerelease and excludes the entire 12.0.0 line. This pairs with the Pick.saveFile source-compatibility guard above as defense in depth. Touches pubspec.yaml.
• Crypt now accepts the base64: app key that key:generate produces. key:generate writes APP_KEY=base64:<base64 of 32 random bytes>, but EncryptionServiceProvider required app.key to be a raw 32-character string and threw App Key must be 32 characters for AES-256 on the generated key, so Crypt.encrypt/decrypt were unusable out of the box. Added MagicEncrypter.fromAppKey(appKey) which base64-decodes a base64:-prefixed key to its 32 bytes (and still accepts a raw 32-character key); EncryptionServiceProvider now binds through it. Touches lib/src/encryption/magic_encrypter.dart, lib/src/encryption/encryption_service_provider.dart; adds three fromAppKey cases to test/encryption/magic_encrypter_test.dart.
• MagicStatefulView now calls the controller's onInit() lifecycle hook. MagicStatefulViewState.initState listened to the controller and called the VIEW's own onInit() hook, but never invoked the CONTROLLER's onInit(), despite the documented contract. A controller that bootstraps in onInit (initial data load, table creation, subscriptions) silently never ran it when backed by a MagicStatefulView, so the screen rendered against uninitialized state (e.g. a query against a table the controller's onInit was supposed to create). It now calls _controller.onInit() guarded by MagicController.initialized, so a SimpleMagicController that already initialized in its constructor is not double-initialized and a singleton controller reused across re-mounts initializes exactly once per lifetime. Touches lib/src/ui/magic_view.dart; adds test/ui/magic_view_controller_oninit_test.dart.
• Auth no longer warns on every boot of a fresh app. AuthServiceProvider.boot() logged a userFactory not registered warning (blaming provider order) whenever no userFactory was set, even for apps with no stored session to restore. It now only warns when a stored session actually exists (Auth.hasToken()) but cannot be rebuilt; a fresh app or a logged-out user stays quiet (debug-level). The stored-session check is guarded so a misconfigured Auth (for example, no Vault registered) cannot crash boot from this warning-verbosity path. Touches lib/src/auth/auth_service_provider.dart; adds three cases to test/auth/auth_test.dart.

Changed

• fluttersdk_wind constraint bumped to ^1.2.0. Requires wind 1.2.0's WindRecipe/WindSlotRecipe (the tv()-equivalent recipe API, NEW in 1.2.0 and re-exported by package:magic/magic.dart — the design-first component layer and make:component scaffolds depend on it), plus the intrinsic-safe flex, the seeded primary token, the min-width-stretch scroll, and the h-full-inside-vertical-scroll dev assert. Also picks up wind 1.1.0's Material-free WInput/WText rewrite, 1.1.1's two fixes that magic's W-widget UI depends on (WInput native text selection restored (mouse drag-select, double-tap word, long-press), and WText now inherits an ancestor DefaultTextStyle color (the CSS text-color cascade) before falling back to the OS-brightness baseline; the latter fixes invisible labels on magic's W-rendered surfaces (Magic*View, MagicFeedback, dialog buttons whose color lives on the container) when the app theme disagrees with the OS theme), and 1.1.2's WPopover fix: a popover with an interactive trigger (a WButton/WAnchor with its own onTap) now opens reliably and no longer dismisses itself on the opening gesture, with the trigger kept accessible via a Semantics tap action. This is the primitive behind magic_starter's team selector and user/notification dropdowns. Touches pubspec.yaml.
• Debug-tooling install guidance corrected to regular dependencies. The magic:install post-install message recommended adding magic_devtools / fluttersdk_dusk / fluttersdk_telescope to dev_dependencies, but the install commands wire them into lib/main.dart (under kDebugMode), which trips the depend_on_referenced_packages lint. They are now documented as regular dependencies (tree-shaken from release via kDebugMode), matching dusk/telescope's own install docs. Also bumps the message's stale fluttersdk_dusk ^0.0.7 to ^0.0.8. Touches install.yaml.

0.0.3 - 2026-06-17

Stabilization (magic-stabilize-dusk-telescope plan)

• BREAKING: the Dusk + Telescope Magic adapters moved out of magic core into the new sibling magic_devtools package. MagicDuskIntegration (14 enrichers), MagicTelescopeIntegration (5 watchers + MagicHttpFacadeAdapter) and their tests now live in magic_devtools; magic core no longer depends on fluttersdk_dusk or fluttersdk_telescope at all. The class and function names are unchanged; only the import path moves and ownership shifts to a dedicated dev-tooling package. Consumer migration (pre-1.0 clean break, no shim):

  // before (interim sub-barrel, never released):
  import 'package:magic/dusk_integration.dart';
  import 'package:magic/telescope_integration.dart';
  
  // after — add magic_devtools as a dev_dependency, then:
  import 'package:magic_devtools/dusk.dart';
  import 'package:magic_devtools/telescope.dart';
  // MagicDuskIntegration.install(); / MagicTelescopeIntegration.install();
  

  Deletes lib/src/cli/{dusk,telescope}_integration.dart, the lib/{dusk,telescope}_integration.dart sub-barrels, and test/cli/{dusk,telescope}_integration_test.dart from magic; drops the two fluttersdk_dusk / fluttersdk_telescope dependency lines from pubspec.yaml.

• Granular scaffold + documentation is the default (M1). The E2E-drivability defaults (processingListenable + MagicBuilder, stable ValueKey, semanticLabel on ambiguous interactive widgets) are documented in .claude/rules/testability.md and reflected in generated view stubs. Opt-in, no runtime behavior break for existing consumers.

• Testability rules formalized (M2). .claude/rules/testability.md defines view drivability as the third gate of "done" alongside passing tests and correct appearance, with the three widget-identity rules dusk depends on.

• fluttersdk_artisan constraint bumped ^0.0.7 -> ^0.0.8. Drop-in: magic uses no artisan symbol changed between the two versions.

Fixed (consumer-blocking bugs surfaced by /tmp fresh-app E2E test plan)

• make:* commands now work on consumers that pull magic from pub.dev / path: dependency. MakeControllerCommand, MakeModelCommand, and the other 12 make:* commands used to call StubLoader.load('controller') directly, which searches $ARTISAN_STUBS_DIR → $MAGIC_CLI_STUBS_DIR → fluttersdk_artisan-<version>/assets/stubs/. Magic's own stubs live at <magic>/assets/stubs/; neither env var was set in typical environments, and the fluttersdk_artisan pub-cache fallback contained only artisan substrate stubs. The 14 generators now load raw stub content via the new MagicStubLoader helper (which resolves <magic>/assets/stubs/<name>.stub from the consumer's .dart_tool/package_config.json magic entry) and pass the content through getStub() for ArtisanGeneratorCommand.buildClass to consume as a literal template. Adds lib/src/cli/helpers/magic_stub_loader.dart; touches lib/src/cli/commands/make_*.dart × 14.
• magic:install is now self-registering — adds magic to .artisan/plugins.json before plugins:refresh runs, so MagicArtisanProvider appears in lib/app/_plugins.g.dart automatically. Consumers no longer need a separate dart run magic:artisan plugin:install magic step before invoking make:controller etc. Touches lib/src/cli/commands/magic_install_command.dart (adds _selfRegisterPlugin).
• plugin:install magic re-invocations no longer corrupt lib/config/app.dart. The static install/app_config publish entry rendered the raw {{ allImports }} / {{ allProviders }} placeholders when invoked outside MagicInstallCommand.handle (where the fluent override would overwrite with the dynamic providers list). Removed install/app_config: lib/config/app.dart from install.yaml publish:; the fluent override is now the sole writer. Touches install.yaml.
• assets/lang/en.json is now scaffolded on install. Adds install/lang_en: assets/lang/en.json to install.yaml publish: with a minimal stub covering common.welcome, common.loading, …, and a validation.* block matching the built-in rule names. Consumers using Lang.trans('common.welcome') now resolve out of the box; previously the lang dir was empty until the operator ran make:lang. Touches install.yaml, adds assets/stubs/install/lang_en.stub.

Fixed (PR #87 code review)

• Cache hit/miss detection no longer misclassifies. CacheManager.get() decided hit-vs-miss with value == defaultValue, which dispatched a CacheMiss when the stored value happened to equal the caller's defaultValue, or when a stored null was read with a null default. It now uses driver().has(key) for presence. Touches lib/src/cache/cache_manager.dart; adds two regression cases to test/cache/cache_manager_event_dispatch_test.dart.
• KeyGenerateCommand reuses a single Random.secure() instead of constructing one per byte. Touches lib/src/cli/commands/key_generate_command.dart.
• Removed the unused yaml_edit dependency from pubspec.yaml (no lib/, test/, or bin/ references), trimming transitive deps and publish surface.
• Example app shows a real title. example/.env APP_NAME is now "Magic Example" (was "") and welcome_view.dart falls back to a non-empty app.name, so the example no longer renders a blank title. Touches example/.env, example/lib/resources/views/welcome_view.dart.

Improvements (UX)

• magic:install post-install message documents the optional Dusk + Telescope setup chain. Removed the obsolete sqlite3.wasm warning (the install command auto-fetches sqlite3.wasm 3.3.1 since the artisan-install-command-magic plan). Added a setup recipe pointing operators at the magic_devtools dev_dependency (plus fluttersdk_dusk / fluttersdk_telescope) and the package:magic_devtools/{dusk,telescope}.dart adapter imports, so the debug-tooling path is discoverable without consulting the docs. Touches install.yaml (post_install.message).

Changed

• Documentation: CLAUDE.local.md updated to reflect artisan-based CLI. The stale magic_cli companion-project sync protocol (cross-repo stub sync, provider coupling) has been retired. Magic now owns its CLI and generators under lib/src/cli/ on the fluttersdk_artisan substrate. Updated CLAUDE.local.md to document the current architecture (command locations, install manifest, stub loading) and deprecation of the legacy magic_cli sync procedure.

Deferred

• magic:install --with-debug-tooling single-command flag that chains the 6-step Dusk + Telescope setup recipe (currently the post_install message documents the recipe; the flag would auto-execute it). Tracking issue: TBD.
• MainDartSmartMerger should consolidate the 4 if (kDebugMode) { ... } blocks that dusk:install + telescope:install emit into 2 blocks (pre-Magic.init() host plugins + post-Magic.init() Magic adapters). Currently each install command writes its own block, producing four single-statement blocks. Tracking issue: TBD.

Changed (artisan-install-command-magic plan)

• magic:install now delegates canonical Flutter scaffold to artisan's install command in-process. After stagedInstaller.commit() returns Success, delegateArtisanInstall invokes InstallCommand.scaffoldInto (from the artisan public barrel) to write bin/dispatcher.dart + barrels + pubspec dep + bin/fsa. Gated inside the existing if (result is Success) block so dry-run / Conflict / Error results skip the delegation and atomic-commit semantics are preserved. Magic-specific extras (conditional configs, dynamic lib/config/app.dart, lib/main.dart smart-merge, sqlite3.wasm) remain magic-side.

Removed (artisan-install-command-magic plan)

• install.yaml 11th publish entry (install/consumer_artisan: bin/artisan.dart) dropped. Artisan's install command now writes the canonical dispatcher to bin/dispatcher.dart; magic no longer ships a separate consumer wrapper. Magic-managed consumers reach the same canonical state via the delegation flow.

Added (dusk-magic-wind enrichment Wave 3 / Wave 4 wiring)

• MagicHttpFacadeAdapter.pendingCount override (Step 3.4 cross-package). Proxies to the file-private _TelescopeNetworkInterceptor._pending.length (null-guarded pre-install, returns 0). Reads the live in-flight FIFO so TelescopeStore.pendingHttpCount can sum across registered adapters. Powers dusk's ext.dusk.wait_for_network_idle end-to-end.
• Magic-side reader wiring for dusk's telescope-backed tools (Steps 3.4 + 3.5). MagicTelescopeIntegration.install() now also assigns three function-pointer readers exported from package:fluttersdk_dusk/dusk.dart:
  • pendingHttpCountReader = () => TelescopeStore.pendingHttpCount
  • recentLogsReader = TelescopeStore.recentLogs(...) → dusk envelope (renames loggerName → logger, ISO-formats timestamps)
  • recentExceptionsReader = TelescopeStore.recentExceptions(...) → dusk envelope (renames exceptionType → type, truncates stackTrace to first 3 lines as stackHead) The indirection lives on the dusk side; dusk has no hard dep on telescope. Magic is the only crossover point. Dusk hosts that do not ship fluttersdk_telescope get the default empty-list readers (missing-telescope graceful path).
• New test/cli/telescope_integration_test.dart (6 cases): pre-install null-guard, post-install zero, in-flight count, FIFO decrement, post-uninstall null-guard, end-to-end via TelescopeStore.pendingHttpCount.

Changed (BREAKING for magic_cli legacy users; non-breaking via legacy fallback)

• magic:install rewrite to PluginInstaller DSL + install.yaml manifest. The command extends ArtisanInstallCommand (from fluttersdk_artisan ^1.0.0-alpha.1+) and delegates the install.yaml-expressible 60% to ManifestInstaller. The conditional 40% (per-flag config emission, dynamic lib/main.dart configFactories list, dynamic lib/config/app.dart provider list, app name extraction from pubspec.yaml) lives in a fluent override hook on ManifestInstaller.prepare(). Existing --without-* flags map 1:1 to install.yaml prompts: (bool type, default false).

  Backward compat: dart run :artisan magic:install continues to work via legacy fallback; the new canonical workflow is dart run :artisan plugin:install magic (auto-detects install.yaml, routes through ManifestInstaller in one step).

• REVERTED: First install on a fresh flutter create app NO LONGER requires --force. MagicInstallCommand._resolveMainDartStrategy calls MainDartScaffoldDetector.isFlutterCreateScaffold BEFORE the ConflictDetector path; when the existing lib/main.dart matches the flutter create scaffold heuristic, scaffoldDetected=true flows into PluginInstaller.commit(force: true) and bypasses the unmanaged-file check silently. Operators now run dart run magic:artisan magic:install on a fresh flutter create app without any flag; customized lib/main.dart still requires --force or --preserve explicitly. (CHANGELOG entry from an earlier alpha was stale; the scaffold detector landed before alpha-15 but the entry was not removed.)

• sqlite3.wasm auto-download wired into magic:install. When the database feature is enabled (no --without-database flag) and the run is not a dry-run, MagicInstallCommand now fetches the matching sqlite3.wasm from simolus3/sqlite3.dart (pinned to 3.3.1) and writes it to web/sqlite3.wasm after the install commits. Closes the white-screen / WebAssembly TypeError failure mode that hit fresh Flutter web targets on first run.

✨ New Features

• Dusk enricher expansion (7 new enrichers + 1 extension):

  • magicControllerFlagsEnricher - captures FutureOr status, loading/success/error flags from MagicStateMixin
  • magicRouteParamsEnricher - emits route parameters (path params + query string)
  • magicFormErrorsEnricher (extension) - now quotes per-field error messages to preserve whitespace
  • magicEchoConnectionEnricher - reports broadcast connection state (connecting/connected/disconnected/reconnecting)
  • magicGateResultsAllEnricher - emits last N gate check results (ability: allowed/denied) from MRU cache
  • magicRecentHttpEnricher - emits last 5 HTTP requests (method, URL, status, elapsed time)
  • magicRecentLogsEnricher - emits last 5 log entries (level, message, timestamp)
  • magicRecentExceptionsEnricher - emits last 5 exceptions (type, message, stack trace truncated to 500 chars)

  All new enrichers guard kDebugMode and handle missing dependencies gracefully (telescope-not-installed returns null buffer). Registered by MagicDuskIntegration.install(). Combined with existing 7 enrichers (magicControllerState, magicFormErrors, magicGateResult, magicMiddleware, magicAuthUser, magicFormField, magicRoute), magic-side surface now totals 14 enrichers. Ships in coordinated bump with fluttersdk_dusk 1.0.0-alpha.3+.

• Dusk integration: 5 new snapshot enrichers (magicControllerState, magicFormErrors, magicGateResult, magicMiddleware, magicAuthUser) registered by MagicDuskIntegration.install() for richer LLM-agent E2E context. Combined with the 2 alpha-1 enrichers (magicFormField, magicRoute) this brings the magic-side surface to 7 enrichers; with Wind's 6-field WindClassNameEnricher the total enricher surface is 8. Ships in coordinated bump with fluttersdk_dusk 1.0.0-alpha.2 (see references/fluttersdk_dusk/CHANGELOG.md for the matching dusk-side contract additions: 7 new handlers, 10 new MCP descriptors, 8 new CLI commands, actionability gate, dusk_find Locator pattern, Chrome reaper, dusk:doctor). Requires fluttersdk_dusk ^1.0.0-alpha.2 — the DuskSnapshotEnricher typedef is frozen across both repos for the alpha-2 cycle.

• Cache events: CacheHit, CacheMiss, CachePut, CacheForget, CacheFlush event classes added under lib/src/cache/events/cache_events.dart and exported from package:magic/magic.dart. CacheManager.get / put / forget / flush now dispatch the matching event through EventDispatcher.instance after the underlying store operation completes. Enables fluttersdk_telescope's MagicCacheWatcher (and any user-defined listener) to observe the full cache lifecycle.

• Test coverage: new MagicInstallCommand exercised by 27 tests using InstallContext.test + InMemoryFs + FakePromptDriver + FakeStubDriver injection; one test per --without-X flag plus first-install --force

  • app name extraction edge cases. Coverage: 76.5% (defensive error paths not covered; accepted per Risks Accepted in the migration plan).

🔧 Improvements

• Routing: MagicRouter.currentRoute public getter for the currently-resolved RouteDefinition.
• Auth: GateManager.lastResult(ability) accessor backed by an MRU cache (64 entries) of the most recent gate-check outcome per ability.

✨ New Features

• Eloquent: Model.fill now accepts a strict flag. When true, any non-fillable key throws MassAssignmentException instead of being silently dropped. Pair with validated request payloads to catch schema drift at the boundary. (#69)
• Validation: FormRequest — Laravel-style request object that collapses authorize → prepare → validate into a single class. Throws AuthorizationException on denied access and ValidationException with a field-keyed error map on rule failure. Pairs with Model.fill(validated, strict: true). (#66)
• HTTP: MagicController.authorize(ability, [arguments]), a Laravel-style controller helper that delegates to Gate.allows() and throws AuthorizationException on denial. Avoids hand-rolling gate checks in every action. (#72)
• Auth: Gate.allowsAny(abilities, [arguments]) and Gate.allowsAll(abilities, [arguments]), short-circuiting sugar for checking multiple abilities at once. (#72)
• Routing: MagicRoute.resource(name, controller, {only, except}) auto-wires up to four canonical routes (index, create, show, edit) to a controller that mixes in ResourceController. Controllers declare supported methods via resourceMethods; only / except narrow the set further. Each route gets an auto-assigned {slug}.{method} name and title. (#67)
• Validation: AsyncRule contract plus Unique(endpoint, field: ...) rule, an async uniqueness check with per-instance debounce (coalesces rapid calls) and a pluggable .via() resolver. Network errors log and pass so they never block submission. Validator.validateAsync() runs async rules after sync rules; sync failures short-circuit per field. (#68)
• Session: Add Session facade with Laravel-style flash data — Session.flash(data), Session.flashErrors(errors), Session.old(field, [fallback]), Session.error(field), Session.errors(field), Session.hasError(field), Session.hasFlash, Session.tick(). Two-bucket store promotes flashed data exactly one navigation hop so forms can repopulate after a failed submit. Top-level helpers old() and error() mirror Laravel's Blade API
• UI: MagicFormData.validate() automatically flashes form data on validation failure — downstream views can repopulate via old('field') without manual wiring
• Validation: In<T> rule accepts a primitive whitelist (strings, ints, etc.) and InList<T extends Enum> validates enum-backed fields, accepting either the enum instance or a wire string. InList supports caseInsensitive: and an optional wire: mapper for snake_case or custom representations. Both emit the shared validation.in message with a comma-joined :values parameter. (#81)

1.0.0-alpha.13 - 2026-04-16

✨ New Features

• Routing: Add currentPath getter to MagicRouter — returns the current route path without query string, complementing the existing currentLocation property

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Routing: Use GoRouter.pop() instead of Navigator.pop() in back() — syncs router state and preserves custom page transitions on reverse animation. Add StateError guard when router is not initialized, consistent with to() and replace()

🔧 Improvements

• Skill: Optimize magic-framework skill for Claude Code progressive disclosure — split frontmatter, extract templates to references, compress sections (669 → 416 lines). Add version frontmatter and source-to-skill mapping in release command
• Deps: Bump magic version constraint in example app

1.0.0-alpha.12 - 2026-04-09

✨ New Features

• Broadcasting: Client-side activity monitor — detects silent connection loss using Pusher protocol activity_timeout and pusher:ping/pusher:pong. Automatically reconnects when the server stops responding
• Broadcasting: Random jitter (up to 30%) on reconnection backoff delay — prevents thundering herd when many clients reconnect simultaneously after a server restart
• Broadcasting: Configurable connection establishment timeout (default 15s) — prevents indefinite hang when server doesn't complete the Pusher handshake. Automatically triggers reconnect on timeout

1.0.0-alpha.11 - 2026-04-07

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Routing: Fix intermittent page title loss on web — Flutter's Title widget was overwriting TitleManager's route-level title on didChangeDependencies() rebuilds. Use onGenerateTitle to keep both in sync

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• file_picker: Upgrade from ^10.3.10 to ^11.0.2 — migrates to static API (FilePicker.platform removed). Consumers using FilePicker.platform directly (via magic.dart re-export) must switch to static calls (FilePicker.pickFiles(), FilePicker.getDirectoryPath(), FilePicker.saveFile()). Includes Android path traversal security fix (CWE-22) and WASM web support

1.0.0-alpha.10 - 2026-04-07

✨ New Features

• Routing: Route-level page title management with TitleManager singleton. Per-route titles via RouteDefinition.title(), automatic suffix pattern via MagicApplication(titleSuffix:), declarative MagicTitle widget for data-dependent titles, and imperative MagicRoute.setTitle() / MagicRoute.currentTitle API. Title resolution: MagicTitle > setTitle > RouteDefinition.title > MagicApplication.title. (#49)

🔧 Improvements

• Dependencies: Bump magic_cli to ^0.0.1-alpha.6 (scaffold templates now include .title() and titleSuffix)

1.0.0-alpha.9 - 2026-04-07

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Broadcasting: Auth failures in private/presence channels now surface via Log.error() and interceptor onError() chain instead of being silently swallowed. Reconnect resubscribes all channels with await — onReconnect stream emits only after completion. Per-channel error handling ensures one auth failure does not block other channels. (#45)
• Database: sqlite3.wasm now loads via absolute URI (/sqlite3.wasm) instead of relative — fixes 404s on deep routes when using path URL strategy. (#46)

1.0.0-alpha.8 - 2026-04-07

✨ Features

• feat: config-driven path URL strategy for Flutter web (#40)

1.0.0-alpha.7 - 2026-04-06

✨ Features

• Broadcasting: Echo facade, BroadcastManager, ReverbBroadcastDriver (Pusher-compatible WebSocket with reconnection, dedup, heartbeat), NullBroadcastDriver, BroadcastInterceptor pipeline, FakeBroadcastManager, BroadcastServiceProvider. Laravel Echo equivalent for real-time channels. (#38)
• Router Observers: MagicRouter.instance.addObserver() enables NavigatorObserver integration for analytics/monitoring (Sentry, Firebase Analytics, custom observers). Observers are passed to GoRouter automatically. (#34)
• Network Driver Plugin Hook: DioNetworkDriver.configureDriver() exposes the underlying Dio instance for SDK integrations (sentry_dio, certificate pinning, custom adapters). (#35)
• Custom Log Drivers: LogManager.extend() enables custom LoggerDriver registration (Sentry, file, Slack). Config-driven resolution with built-in override support. (#36)

1.0.0-alpha.6 - 2026-04-05

✨ Features

• Http Faking: Http.fake() enables Laravel-style HTTP faking for testing. Swap the real network driver with a FakeNetworkDriver that records requests and returns stubbed responses. Supports URL pattern stubs, callback stubs, and assertion methods (assertSent, assertNotSent, assertNothingSent, assertSentCount). (#18)
• Facade Faking: Auth.fake(), Cache.fake(), Vault.fake(), Log.fake() — Laravel-style facade faking for testing. Swap real service implementations with in-memory fakes that record operations and expose assertion helpers. (#19)
• Fetch Helpers: fetchList() / fetchOne() on MagicStateMixin — auto state management for HTTP fetches with defensive type guards against malformed responses (#20)
• MagicTest: MagicTest.init() / MagicTest.boot() — standardized test bootstrap helper, package:magic/testing.dart barrel export (#21)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Log.channel(): Now returns LoggerDriver via _manager.driver(name) instead of LogManager, enabling Log.channel('slack').error(...) as documented (#27)
• Http.response() null data: Sentinel pattern allows Http.response(null, 204) for No Content stubs while Http.response() still returns mutable empty map (#26)
• URL pattern escaping: FakeNetworkDriver stub patterns now escape regex metacharacters (., ?, +) via RegExp.escape() — only * is treated as wildcard (#26)
• fetchList/fetchOne defensive guards: Type-check response.data as Map before indexing, filter non-Map elements in lists via whereType<Map>(), guard fetchOne data cast (#28)

1.0.0-alpha.5 - 2026-03-29

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Route Back Navigation: MagicRoute.back() now works after go()-based navigation (cross-shell). Maintains lightweight history stack with automatic fallback. Optional fallback parameter for explicit control. (#11)

1.0.0-alpha.4 - 2026-03-29

🔧 Improvements

• Localization Hot Restart: Translation JSON changes now reflect on hot restart during development. Uses fetch with cache-busting on web and best-effort disk reads on desktop, bypassing Flutter's asset bundle cache. Zero impact on release builds.

1.0.0-alpha.3 - 2026-03-24

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Logo on pub.dev: Use absolute URL for logo image so it renders correctly on pub.dev

🔧 Improvements

• TDD Development Flow: Added strict TDD rules and verification cycle to CLAUDE.md

1.0.0-alpha.2 - 2026-03-24

⚠️ Breaking Changes

• Pub.dev Migration: Replaced git submodule path dependencies with pub.dev hosted packages (fluttersdk_wind: ^1.0.0-alpha.4, magic_cli: ^0.0.1-alpha.3). Removed plugins/ directory entirely.
• SDK Bump: Dart >=3.11.0 <4.0.0, Flutter >=3.41.0 (previously Dart >=3.4.0, Flutter >=3.22.0)

✨ New Features

• Launch Facade: URL, email, phone, and SMS launching via url_launcher with Launch.url(), Launch.email(), Launch.phone(), Launch.sms()
• Form Processing: process(), isProcessing, and processingListenable on MagicFormData for form-scoped loading state
• Reactive Auth State: stateNotifier on Guard contract and BaseGuard for reactive auth state UI
• Query Parameters: Request.query(), Request.queryAll, MagicRouter.queryParameter() for URL query parameter access
• Localization Interceptor: Automatic Accept-Language and X-Timezone headers on HTTP requests
• Theme Persistence: Auto-persist dark/light theme preference via Vault in MagicApplication
• Validation Helpers: clearErrors() and clearFieldError() on ValidatesRequests mixin
• Route Names: Route name registration on RouteDefinition

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Auth Config: Default config now properly wrapped under 'auth' key
• Session Restore: Guards against missing userFactory — gracefully skips instead of throwing
• Barrel Export: FileStore exported from barrel file
• Package Name: Renamed internal references from fluttersdk_magic to magic

🔧 Improvements

• Dependency Upgrades: go_router ^17.1.0, sqlite3 ^3.2.0, share_plus ^12.0.1, file_picker ^10.3.10, flutter_lints ^6.0.0, and more
• CLI Docs: Rewrote Magic CLI documentation with all 16 commands and dart run magic:magic syntax
• Wind UI Docs: Moved to wind.fluttersdk.com, removed local copy
• Example App: Rebuilt with fresh flutter create and magic install
• CI Pipeline: Upgraded GitHub Actions, added validate gate to publish workflow
• Claude Code: Added path-scoped .claude/rules/ for 8 domains, auto-format and auto-analyze hooks
