Apps Domain Rules

This file governs apps/** (Flutter). Keep rules strict, short, and reusable.

Scope & Precedence

• Inherits root AGENTS.md and workspace runtime rules.
• If rules conflict, apply the stricter one.
• Visual language source of truth: apps/rules/visual_design_language.md.

Flutter Directory Contract (Must)

• apps/lib only allows these second-level directories: app/, core/, data/, features/, shared/, l10n/.
• apps/lib/main.dart is the only allowed root entry file.
• Do not add new second-level directories under apps/lib without explicit approval.

UI Design System (Must)

• Semantic colors: always use Theme.of(context).colorScheme.* (primary, surface, error, etc.). Never hardcode hex or Colors.*.
• Brand palette colors (event presets, avatar colors, Eisenhower matrix quadrants): use Theme.of(context).extension<AppColorPalette>()!.*.
• Spacing / Radius: use AppSpacing / AppRadius from design_tokens.dart. No hardcoded values.
• AppTheme.light / AppTheme.dark provide complete ColorScheme (light + dark). MaterialApp wires them via theme: / darkTheme:.
• If a semantic slot is missing from ColorScheme, add it to AppTheme — do not bypass colorScheme with hardcoded values.

Reuse & Composition (Must)

• Prefer apps/lib/shared/widgets/ before adding new components.
• Extract repeated page structures/components; do not duplicate sibling-page scaffolds.
• Detail page top-right actions must use shared action-menu components.
• Destructive confirmations must use project-consistent shared surfaces.

Interaction & Feedback (Must)

• User feedback: Toast / AppBanner only.
• Loading indicators: AppLoadingIndicator only.
• Form pages should default to keyboard-overlay behavior to avoid full-page layout jumps.

Agent Chat Protocol (Must)

• Agent chat must follow AG-UI over SSE.
• Lifecycle events are mandatory: RUN_STARTED and exactly one of RUN_FINISHED or RUN_ERROR.
• Text streaming flow must be TEXT_MESSAGE_START -> TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT -> TEXT_MESSAGE_END.

HTTP Error Parse Contract (Must)

• Frontend must parse backend errors as RFC7807: type/title/status/detail/instance + extension code/params.
• Error code registry single source of truth: docs/protocols/common/http-error-codes.md.
• Frontend mapping must be based on documented code only (code -> l10n key), not inferred from detail text.
• Any new/changed code requires protocol doc update first, then frontend mapping update.
• Unknown code fallback order: status-generic localized message -> safe generic localized message.

High-Risk Modules (Must)

Auth

• AuthBloc is the single source of truth.
• 401 invalidation must go through global callback chain; no feature-level token clearing or direct login navigation.

Home Message Viewport

• Home message auto-scroll/anchor restore must be event-driven.
• Preserve viewport during history prepend and when user is reading above bottom.

Cache / Repository

• Reads/writes that affect consistency must go through repository layer.
• Cache keys and invalidation policy belong to repository, not UI/Bloc.
• Shared cache infrastructure must live under apps/lib/data/cache/; feature modules must not duplicate low-level cache store logic.
• Cross-feature data access must go through apps/lib/data/repositories/; do not import another feature's data implementation directly from UI/Bloc.
• Repository instances should be resolved from DI singletons to reuse cache and avoid per-feature re-creation.

Testing Policy

• Prioritize tests for model parsing, service logic, and high-regression interaction flows.
• Simple static UI changes may skip tests.
• Auth/Home/Cache changes must include targeted regression tests.
