- **UTC for storing and sending, local time for display and day boundaries.** Serverpod sends `DateTime` as UTC and stores it in `timestamp without time zone` columns. Compare and compute in UTC; call `.toLocal()` only to display. "Due today", streaks and daily goals use the learner's **local** calendar day, computed on the client; the server never needs day boundaries.

- **Build configuration comes from `--dart-define`.** The client holds no secrets, ever.

- **Material comes from `package:material_ui`** (Cupertino from `package:cupertino_ui`), never from `package:flutter/material.dart`, which Flutter deprecates from its November 2026 release on. Packages still on the SDK's copy get the app's theme and localizations through `MaterialUiCompatibilityBridge` in `MaterialApp.builder`; remove it once they have moved.

- **Navigation is `go_router`**: the routes in `lib/src/app/app_router.dart`, their paths in `core/router/route_paths.dart`. Four tabs (Home, Library, Explore, Profile) are the branches of a `StatefulShellRoute`, each keeping its own stack of screens alive while another tab shows (`tabsContainer`, halkyon_ui's `TabsStack`: go_router's indexed stack plus `TabVisibility`, which a screen depends on to stop something once its tab is hidden); `AppShell` shows them through halkyon_ui's `NavigationFrame`, every Halkyon app's (decided 2026-10-30), as a navigation rail from 600 dp on and as a navigation bar below (Material 3 Expressive's shorter one, 64 dp, set in the theme: Flutter's Material library has none yet), flush with the bottom edge (`FlushNavigationBar`, decided 7 Nov 2026 by the developer in place of a bar floating above it: Material 3 Expressive keeps the bar flush, 64 dp, and a fade replaces the floating card; its top corners rounded, 20 dp, a tap on another tab sending a wave over it in the colour of the screen in view (`ScreenTint.color`: cobalt on Learn's tabs, a studyset's own inside it; the frame's `accent`, Learn's purple, only before a screen claims one; Learn's tabs wash in cobalt, so its bar is cobalt there, not its icon's purple, by the developer's choice, 8 Nov 2026), the tab chosen in that colour made legible on the bar (`readableTone`, 4.5:1 in both themes), without Material's ripple or the indicator growing, the indicator kept, on the bar's own neutral surface: decided by the developer on 8 Nov 2026 after trying the variants on the phone, see ADR 0030's amendment of D60), with a fade 32 dp high above it into the background of the screen in view (`ScreenTint`), which taps pass through: the tab screens run on beneath both (the shell's `extendBody`), every list ending with room for them (the body's bottom padding, `FlushNavigationBar.coverOf`: the bar, its fade and the system's bar) and floating buttons lifted by `FlushNavigationBar.buttonLiftOf` (the same without the system's bar, which a Scaffold keeps its button clear of itself); it steps aside inside a studyset (its screen, notes, paths and dictionary: `RoutePaths.isInsideStudyset`), whose own bar at the bottom takes its place, leaving a strip as high as the system's bar (decided 2026-10-11, as Material 3 puts toolbars below the top level and Vaia does), and choosing the open tab again returns to its first screen. A tab's own screens are routes nested in its branch, reached with `context.go` (a studyset's screen in the library), and **the screens behind a studyset are its path** (decided 2026-10-11; `feature/studyset/widget/studyset_navigation.dart`): a topic, at any depth, opens with the screens of the levels between pushed beneath it (`openStudysetWithin`; the same route, keyed by id and named by its location, so several stack), the path's steps and the levels a long press on back lists go up by popping to that page (`goUpTo`), and a studyset opened from elsewhere gets its levels beneath it (`openStudyset`). So back, Android's predictive back, iOS's swipe from the edge and the path all lead one level up. Below expanded windows the topics open in a sheet from the end of the path's line, never a drawer, whose swipe from the edge is iOS's way back. A studyset's notes and learning paths (working through one, writing it, writing a step) are routes of the Library branch too, so the tabs stay beside them. What needs the whole window (studying, a card, a PDF, settings) is a top-level route over the tabs, reached with `context.push`. Explore lists what is published (see *Explore and copies*).

- **Routes carry ids, never objects.** A screen finds its item in the repository's live list with `FoundById`: a spinner until the list arrives, then the item, or a screen saying it no longer exists (deleted on another device, or an old link). A screen that deletes its item closes, and keeps showing the item while it goes. Why: every location can be built from its path alone, and no screen goes on showing something that has gone.

- **The look is one theme, every Halkyon app's**: the theme, its fonts, the window sizes and the shared widgets come from `halkyon_ui` (`packages/halkyon_ui`, decided 2026-10-18). Change them there, not here. `appTheme(brightness, extensions:)` with hand-written light and dark colour schemes around the brand's cobalt and copper, which Learn calls as `learnTheme` (`core/theme/`) with its own colours beside; `Theme.of(context).extras` (`ThemeExtras`) for the states Material has no role for, and `Theme.of(context).learnColors` (`LearnColors`) for Learn's own (the four FSRS ratings, a starred star); `PaletteColor` for the 20 colours a person can give content; snack bars floating above the navigation bar as Material 3 places them, in its inverse colours (dark in the light theme), 16 in from the sides and 8 above the bar's fade, 560 wide and centred from medium windows on (`FittedSnackBars`, decided 2026-10-12; Flutter's default is Material 2's fixed bar across the foot); `TopGradient` for a colour washing down from the top of every tab's first screen and Settings (cobalt) and of every screen of a studyset (its colour, own or inherited, which `_inStudyset` in the router hands down as `ScreenColor`): the studyset, studying it, its cards, writing them, its notes, paths and dictionary; behind a clear app bar, in dark mode a deep shade (42 % of the colour over black), in light mode a tint, held to WCAG AA for the theme's text. From medium windows on, a `TintFrame` takes the colour of the screen in view (`ScreenTint`, claimed by the `TopGradient` whose tab shows and whose route is on top), fading out by 60 % of the height: the rail sits on it, transparent, and the screen is a rounded panel inset beside it, its own wash half as strong; screens over the tabs (studying, the card browser and composer, Settings) sit in the same frame without the rail (`FramedScreen`). As Vaia does, decided 2026-10-10. The PDF reader and the reading timeline stay plain. halkyon_ui's `theme_test.dart` holds text to WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1) on each palette colour and on the dark theme's primary colour and surface, and Learn's `learn_theme_test.dart` a starred star to 3:1 on the cards. **Fonts are bundled, never fetched** (halkyon_ui's `app_fonts.dart`; the CJK fonts are the app's own, `assets/fonts/ATTRIBUTION.md`, their licence registered by `core/theme/cjk_fonts.dart`, under the families halkyon_ui's fallback names): Noto Sans, from halkyon_ui, is the app's font on every device (Latin, Greek with polytonic, Cyrillic); Noto Sans JP, SC, TC and KR fill in Japanese, Chinese and Korean, Japanese first unless a studyset's language puts its own first (`StudysetLanguageScope`, which every studyset route wraps its screen in through `_inStudyset`, and the library's and Explore's cards each around their studyset; Han characters take the first listed font's shapes); each is one variable font holding every weight, and their OFL licences join the licence list. Scripts none covers (Arabic, Hebrew, Thai, …) fall back to the device's own fonts. A studyset's languages (`frontLanguage`, `backLanguage`, BCP 47) are given together or inherited together from the nearest studyset above (`languagesOf`). Never add `google_fonts` or anything else that downloads fonts. Layouts follow Material 3's window-size classes (`context.windowSize`), and running text stays within `readableContentMaxWidth`. Icons are Lucide (`lucide_icons_flutter`), except a starred star and the marks of a choice not yet checked (filled box and circle), which need the fill Lucide lacks; the Material icons left in older screens go when those are restyled. Shared widgets come from halkyon_ui (`SectionCard`, `AppLoadingIndicator` (every spinner is Material 3 Expressive's, in buttons `ButtonLoadingIndicator`, pulling a list down `AppRefreshIndicator`, never Flutter's older circular one), `confirmDestructiveAction`, `FoundById`, `TitleWithKicker`, `showUndoSnackBar`, `ScrollHidingFab`, `PaletteColorPicker`, `CountStepper`, `requiredDecoration` (every required field: while empty its outline stronger, in the primary colour, and "Required" below it; never an asterisk) and `FieldInfoButton`, `ReorderToggle`, `ReorderGrip`, `CollapsingRow`, `CountBadge`, `liftWhileDragged`, `LaunchScreen` and `BrandWordmark` ("Halkyon" over an app's word), `SliverCentered` and `EmptyListMessage` (what an empty list shows: icon, "No … yet", and which menus add some), `Shimmer` and `SkeletonBox` (what a list shows while it loads in place of a spinner, the Library's cards since 1 Nov 2026), and the sheets below), with texts of their own (`HalkyonUiLocalizations`); Learn's own are in `core/widget/` (`ConflictVersions`, the versions of a conflict each editor shows, with Keep, its save status beside it `SaveStatusLabel` in `core/editor/`; `ContentCountsLine`; `AppLaunchScreen`, what shows while the app opens: the kingfisher, "Halkyon" over "Learn", whose wordmark the first start shows too).

- **A studyset's options are the same wherever a menu of it opens** (`studysetOptions` and `doStudysetOption` in `studyset_actions.dart`, decided 2026-10-12): its card in the library, its own screen, a topic beside it. Import content runs where the studyset's blocs are, on its screen: from elsewhere it opens the screen, which asks what to import as it opens (`?import=content`).
