feat(studyset): prepare for an exam, with plans, a date and the pace to it

A studyset plans for exams: each plan names what an exam covers, the
topics it takes whole (with their flashcards, learning paths and PDFs)
and the tags whose flashcards it takes from anywhere in the studyset.
The author's plans are published with the studyset (payload schema 7,
`examPlans`); copying a release and taking a newer one point their
topics at the copy's own studysets. Plans are also offered from level
tags: JLPT N5 to N1, HSK 1 to 7-9 and KRDict's levels, each taking the
levels below it, as the exams do.

The person chooses a plan and the exam's day (`exam`), which stays
theirs: the server leaves it out of a release, as a PDF's deadline.
The study plan then shows the days left, how many of the plan's
flashcards were started, its paths' steps done and its PDFs' pages
read, and the pace that gets everything new learnt a week before the
exam (by the exam when two weeks or fewer are left): new flashcards a
day, steps a week, pages a day. Study for the exam studies only what
the plan covers, its new cards at that pace (counted as the day began)
and every review due.

- **Routes carry ids, never objects.** A screen finds its item in the repository's live list with `FoundById` (`core/widget/`): 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** (`core/theme/`): `appTheme(brightness)` with hand-written light and dark colour schemes around the brand's cobalt and copper; `Theme.of(context).extras` (`ThemeExtras`) for the colours Material has no role for (states, 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), lined up with the floating bar, 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, Settings and Connect Claude (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. `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. **Fonts are bundled, never fetched** (`core/theme/app_fonts.dart`, `assets/fonts/ATTRIBUTION.md`): Noto Sans 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`, `core/layout/`), 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 are in `core/widget/` (`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`, `ContentCountsLine`, `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` (what shows while the app opens: the kingfisher, "Halkyon" over "Learn"), `SliverCentered` and `EmptyListMessage` (what an empty list shows: icon, "No … yet", and which menus add some), and the sheets below).
- **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`).
- **A studyset's content is in three parts** (`feature/studyset/widget/studyset_parts.dart`, decided 2026-10-12, as Vaia has it): Material (its learning paths, flashcards, notes and files in tabs, the paths first as the way through the rest (decided 2026-10-13: a path is material too, which the plan refers to), each saying how many it holds, an empty one nothing so the four fit a phone more often, each list whole with its tools at the end of the tabs' row, which fold one by one where room runs short rather than cutting the tabs off (`CollapsingRow`: Browse's words first, then the filter into the ⋮ menu, then Browse; as the studyset's own actions fold into icons); decided 2026-10-12 after a trial of sections one below the other, the first three of each behind Show all, as Vaia stacks them: the lists run to hundreds of cards, and tabs are Material 3's way within a part; the tab is kept as the studyset's part, while the material shows, and opened for the first time it opens on the first tab with something in it; a tab with none of its own while the studyset's topics hold some says that it is in them, each topic holding some with how much, everything inside it counted, opening it, Browse all for flashcards, and how to add some here after all, decided 2026-10-14 after people testing the app looked for a grouping studyset's material in its empty tabs; the tabs' counts stay its own), Progress (always, nothing yet where nothing was studied, so the switch never changes as reviews are read, decided 2026-10-12: how much is learnt, what is due today, the study time this week from the reviews' durations, each at most `Review.maxStudyTime`, `StudysetActivityCubit`) and Study plan (the paths finished; Next up: the cards due, then the next step of each path under way, or the first path not finished when none is; how far each path has come, its steps done in a bar, each opening the path; managing the paths is the material's; later an exam's date and its schedule, `PathListState.stepsDone`). `StudysetPartSwitch` chooses between them in the header: below expanded windows in a line of its own under the title, from there on in the path's line, which the topics leave free there, centred above the material's column (at the line's end where that column is narrower than the switch; the path folds before it); it ticks as the navigation bar does. **A studyset opens on the part it was left on, on this device** (`StudysetTabs`, `studyset_tabs.json` in the person's folder, read as their data opens, decided 2026-10-11; a tab kept before the parts counts as its part); opened there for the first time, on the study plan while a path is unfinished, else on the material, showing that it loads until it knows rather than one part and then another. Material added or imported shows in its part (`ContentTabCubit`).
- **A studyset's content is in three parts** (`feature/studyset/widget/studyset_parts.dart`, decided 2026-10-12, as Vaia has it): Material (its learning paths, flashcards, notes and files in tabs, the paths first as the way through the rest (decided 2026-10-13: a path is material too, which the plan refers to), each saying how many it holds, an empty one nothing so the four fit a phone more often, each list whole with its tools at the end of the tabs' row, which fold one by one where room runs short rather than cutting the tabs off (`CollapsingRow`: Browse's words first, then the filter into the ⋮ menu, then Browse; as the studyset's own actions fold into icons); decided 2026-10-12 after a trial of sections one below the other, the first three of each behind Show all, as Vaia stacks them: the lists run to hundreds of cards, and tabs are Material 3's way within a part; the tab is kept as the studyset's part, while the material shows, and opened for the first time it opens on the first tab with something in it; a tab with none of its own while the studyset's topics hold some says that it is in them, each topic holding some with how much, everything inside it counted, opening it, Browse all for flashcards, and how to add some here after all, decided 2026-10-14 after people testing the app looked for a grouping studyset's material in its empty tabs; the tabs' counts stay its own), Progress (always, nothing yet where nothing was studied, so the switch never changes as reviews are read, decided 2026-10-12: how much is learnt, what is due today, the study time this week from the reviews' durations, each at most `Review.maxStudyTime`, `StudysetActivityCubit`) and Study plan (the paths finished; Next up: the cards due, then the next step of each path under way, or the first path not finished when none is; how far each path has come, its steps done in a bar, each opening the path; managing the paths is the material's; at the top the exam the person prepares for, below; `PathListState.stepsDone`). `StudysetPartSwitch` chooses between them in the header: below expanded windows in a line of its own under the title, from there on in the path's line, which the topics leave free there, centred above the material's column (at the line's end where that column is narrower than the switch; the path folds before it); it ticks as the navigation bar does. **A studyset opens on the part it was left on, on this device** (`StudysetTabs`, `studyset_tabs.json` in the person's folder, read as their data opens, decided 2026-10-11; a tab kept before the parts counts as its part); opened there for the first time, on the study plan while a path is unfinished, else on the material, showing that it loads until it knows rather than one part and then another. Material added or imported shows in its part (`ContentTabCubit`).
- **Statistics** (`feature/statistics/`, decided 2026-10-12, as Vaia has them): the Profile tab's second tab, for anonymous people too. The time studied in all, per day (every day from the first studied to today counted) and the most in one day, and by days, weeks or months (ten, ten, twelve bars) the study time and the ratings, as bars the app draws itself (`BarChart`, no chart package); a tap on a bar says what it holds. Computed on the device from every review (`studyStatistics`, `StatisticsCubit`), every rating counted, crammed ones too, a fresh start not, and **a review counts as at most a minute of study** (`Review.maxStudyTime`, as Anki does by default: a card left on the screen over lunch isn't an hour of study; stored durations stay as they were), here and in a studyset's Progress. What waits in Recently deleted counts nowhere, here or on Home.
- **Lists that can grow long are built as they scroll into view**: a studyset's parts are `CustomScrollView`s holding each list's slivers (`SliverList`, `SliverReorderableList`), and what a list says in place of its rows sits in a `SliverCentered`. Never a `shrinkWrap` list inside another scrolling view: that builds every row at once, and 1,000 cards then froze the window for seconds, long enough for the desktop to offer to kill the app. Rows are put in another order in a Reorder mode (`ReorderToggle` beside the list; a `ReorderGrip` in place of each row's options; positions from `core/sync/fractional_position.dart`), never with Flutter's default drag handles, which on the desktop lie over a row's trailing end, its … button. Flashcards have no Reorder (decided 2026-10-08): they keep the order they were created or imported in, which new cards and cramming follow, and sub-studysets put lessons in order; no one drags a card among a thousand. **The card browser** (`feature/card/widget/card_browser_screen.dart`, decided 2026-10-09: the older design, gaps filled) opens from Browse beside the flashcards' tab, over the tabs (`/studysets/:id/flashcards`, `?subtree=1` with everything inside, which a line below the title says; the title has how many cards beside it): grid or detail (one card beside the list, which follows it; on a phone above a strip), as last left per studyset on the device (`DeviceSettings.detailedBrowsers`); search over front, back, reading, meanings, hints, explanation and tag names (katakana as hiragana, romaji finding kana, accents, tone marks and umlauts left out, so strasse finds Straße and xue xi xué xí; `card_browser.dart`); sort (own order, newest, oldest, A–Z by reading, by bare letters, due first); a filter sheet (kind, one tag, state: new, learning, due, buried, reported); and choosing cards (a toggle; shift-click or long-press for a range) to move (`showCardMoveSheet`), tag, untag, start afresh or delete with Undo. It reads every card of the studysets, as lists do (schedules from the review repository's cache).
- **Forms and pickers open as sheets**: `showAdaptiveSheet` with a `SheetScaffold` (title and close button on top, the body scrolling with a scrollbar, always shown on the desktop, and Material 3's lines under the title and above the footer while some of the body lies beyond them, the action pinned below) shows a bottom sheet below expanded windows and a dialog from there on. A sheet that asks before discarding changes (a `PopScope`) passes `swipeable: false`: a bottom sheet swiped away closes without asking its `PopScope` (Flutter issue 152120, open with v3.47). A sheet offering an Undo passes `hasSnackBars: true`, so its snack bars show on it rather than behind its barrier. A sheet running something that mustn't be cut off (an import) is `busy` meanwhile: its close button is greyed and back does nothing; it is shown with `swipeable: false`, since a swipe closes a bottom sheet regardless. A screen whose blocs import (a studyset's PDFs and paths) greys its back button and path likewise, as leaving would close them; an import of paths shows the study plan at once, how far it has come above the paths (`PathImportProgress`). A picker that changes something outside it reports every change as it happens (`onChanged`) rather than as its result, since a sheet swiped away has none. What needs the whole window to be written or picked (a studyset's description, a step's feedback, a map question's region: `editRichText`, `pickRegion`, decided 2026-10-12) is a field in the form (`ChevronField`: the value, a chevron) opening a full-window route with Save in its app bar, where nothing scrolls around a map, so the wheel alone zooms it; a country's own map (Japan's prefectures) is offered there only once the country, or a region within it, is picked.

- **Content envelope**: synced content tables carry `keyId` and `nonce` (nullable; `null` = plaintext, the only value, ADR 0002 rule 6) and `payload` (`ByteData`): UTF-8 JSON with a `schemaVersion`, encoded and decoded by one codec per feature (e.g. `studyset_payload.dart`) on top of `core/content/payload.dart`, which also holds the blanked `redactedPayload`. Content fields live inside `payload`: a new field raises the schema version instead of migrating a synced table, which would lock older app versions out of syncing (ADR 0002, rule 3). A payload in a newer schema is skipped with a log, never shown half-read.
- **Synced data** (`database: sync`, `serverpod_offline_sync`, ADR 0001): every person has their own local SQLite database (`<app support>/people/<authUserId>/sync.sqlite`). Its gateway writes through the `OfflineSyncDatabaseSession`, **names the columns of every update**, and calls `SyncService.requestSync()` after every write; the repository re-reads after its own writes and when a sync merged changes (`remoteChanges`). `SyncService` syncs on triggers (at start, 2 s after the last write, on resume, every 5 min), one sync at a time. **Deleting blanks the payload first** (ADR 0002, rule 2): the engine keeps deleted rows until the space is deleted. Since blanking can't be undone, an Undo comes before it: a moment's for cards, notes, paths and PDFs (`DelayedDeletions`), 14 days for a studyset (ADR 0007, decided 2026-10-12, as Vaia keeps them): `StudysetDeletions`, opened with the person's data, marks it deleted (`studyset.deletedAt`), and it waits in the library's Recently deleted with everything inside it, restorable, while every other list, count and session reads without it (`StudysetRepository.all` and `watchAll` leave out what is deleted and inside it, `notDeleted`; `withDeleted` reads everything); once the 14 days are over, whichever of the person's devices looks next (as their data opens, after every sync) deletes the whole subtree for good, what is inside first, each studyset's cards blanked before it, and Delete now does at once after asking. Deleting doesn't ask, offering Undo. Widgets delete, undo and delete for good through it directly (`deleteStudysetWithUndo`, `deleteStudysetForGood`), not through a bloc: deleting a studyset from its own screen closes that screen and its bloc, and the deletion and its Undo must outlive them. The server never deletes them (it can't blank a payload; ADR 0007), and its connector, publishing and learner count leave them out too (`notDeleted` in `lib/src/studyset/`). Tags differ, being values (a tag is its name whatever its case, which it keeps; ADR 0004 rule 2): one is blanked and deleted at once, and its Undo makes a tag of that name and colour anew, on the same cards. Order by the UUID v7 id (ADR 0001, rule 7). Access to synced rows is the engine's: a person syncs their personal space and the spaces granted to them; the endpoint rules above guard everything that isn't synced.
- **Content people edit is append-only revisions** (ADR 0001 rule 2, ADR 0003; the reference is `CardRevision`): a revision is never updated except to blank it, and `parents` lists the revisions it replaces. A save's parents are all current heads, which is also how a conflict is resolved. `mergeRevisions` (`feature/card/model/card_merge.dart`) merges several heads per side against their newest common ancestor; a side changed differently is a conflict the person settles, never merged silently. Deleting blanks every revision, then deletes.
- **Reviews are an append-only log** (`ReviewLog`: card, rating, `reviewedAt` in UTC, `durationMs`); taking back a rating deletes its row. Besides ratings it holds a fresh start (`reset`), which never counts as studying; older app versions skip a mode they don't know. A studyset's Reset progress asks what of it starts afresh, naming only what has progress (decided 2026-10-12): its flashcards (a fresh start each), reading its PDFs (a `reset` in their reading log) and its learning paths (a `reset` answer per step), one Undo taking all of it back. A burial isn't in the log but on the card: `card.buriedAt` sets it aside until the next local day begins on the device looking, out of every queue and count (Unbury clears it), read with the cards every list reads anyway. A card's schedule is never stored: `scheduleOf` (`feature/study/model/card_schedule.dart`) replays its reviews in time order with FSRS-6 (`fsrs`, pinned exactly), and only the final due date is fuzzed, from the card's id and review count, so every device computes the same. Studying a studyset covers everything inside it but archived studysets (`studiedIn`), and the study queue (`study_queue.dart`) takes each studyset's cards as a group: due cards of all of them earliest first, then each studyset's new cards in tree order, within each studyset's daily limits of new cards and reviews (its study options, `StudysetStudyOptions` in its payload, schema 3; without, the person's new cards a day and no limit on reviews; cards in their learning steps come anyway), in the order the studied studyset's options ask for (reviews first, mixed, new first). The library's and the topics' counts and badges add up the same way, each card on the schedule a session studies it on (`card_study_mode.dart`: written by hand while Write by hand is on, back first while Back first is; `ReviewRepository.schedulesAsStudied`); Home's due forecast still counts front to back, as it reads cards without their content. Deleting a card deletes its reviews.
- **Reviews are an append-only log** (`ReviewLog`: card, rating, `reviewedAt` in UTC, `durationMs`); taking back a rating deletes its row. Besides ratings it holds a fresh start (`reset`), which never counts as studying; older app versions skip a mode they don't know. A studyset's Reset progress asks what of it starts afresh, naming only what has progress (decided 2026-10-12): its flashcards (a fresh start each), reading its PDFs (a `reset` in their reading log) and its learning paths (a `reset` answer per step), one Undo taking all of it back. A burial isn't in the log but on the card: `card.buriedAt` sets it aside until the next local day begins on the device looking, out of every queue and count (Unbury clears it), read with the cards every list reads anyway. A card's schedule is never stored: `scheduleOf` (`feature/study/model/card_schedule.dart`) replays its reviews in time order with FSRS-6 (`fsrs`, pinned exactly), and only the final due date is fuzzed, from the card's id and review count, so every device computes the same. Studying a studyset covers everything inside it but archived studysets (`studiedIn`), and the study queue (`study_queue.dart`) takes each studyset's cards as a group: due cards of all of them earliest first, then each studyset's new cards in tree order, within each studyset's daily limits of new cards and reviews (its study options, `StudysetStudyOptions` in its payload, schema 3; without, the person's new cards a day and no limit on reviews; cards in their learning steps come anyway), in the order the studied studyset's options ask for (reviews first, mixed, new first). **Exam plans** (`feature/studyset/model/exam_plan.dart`, decided 2026-10-14): a studyset plans for exams (`examPlans` in its payload, schema 7: each a name, the topics it takes whole by their ids, the tags whose cards it takes by their names), its author's published with it (the copier and the updater point the topics at the copy's studysets), and plans are offered from level tags too (`automaticExamPlans`: JLPT, HSK, KRDict's levels, each taking the levels below it, ids `auto:…`). The person's choice (`exam`: the plan's id and the exam's day, `YYYY-MM-DD`) is theirs alone, never published, like a PDF's deadline. `ExamCoverage` reads what a plan covers (its topics' studysets with their paths and PDFs, its tags' cards anywhere in the studyset); the Study plan shows how far the person has come with it and the pace (`examPace`: what is new spread so that it is learnt a week before the exam when more than two weeks are left, by the exam otherwise; new cards counted as the day began), and Study for the exam (`StudyFocus.exam`) studies what it covers alone, as one group whose new cards a day are that pace, reviews unlimited. The library's and the topics' counts and badges add up the same way, each card on the schedule a session studies it on (`card_study_mode.dart`: written by hand while Write by hand is on, back first while Back first is; `ReviewRepository.schedulesAsStudied`); Home's due forecast still counts front to back, as it reads cards without their content. Deleting a card deletes its reviews.
- **Order is a fractional index** (`fractional_indexing_dart`, rocicorp's algorithm) in its own column, last writer wins. Two devices appending at once can pick the same key, so ties sort by id.
- **Tree, tags, modes, settings and files** (ADR 0004): a studyset's `parent` and sibling `position` form the tree, and studysets in a cycle or without their parent show at the top level (`topLevel`); its `archivedAt`, `deletedAt`, `starredAt` and `updatedAt` are columns, and every change of a studyset writes `updatedAt` with it (the library lists starred studysets first, then the most recently changed); a card's tags are `card_tag` rows, one per assignment, never updated, and a duplicate counts once; `review_log.mode` is `review`, `reverse` (its own schedule), `write` (by hand, its own schedule) or `cram` (never moves a schedule), and a schedule replays the reviews of one mode; `person_settings` is meant as one row per person, and extra rows fold into the one with the smallest id; an `asset` row stands for a file in private cloud storage, found by its hash. **Never derive a row's id from a person or anything else guessable**: ids are unique across the whole table, so someone could claim it first in their own space and break the owner's sync.
- **Files** (ADR 0004, rule 5): `AssetEndpoint` (`requireLogin`) takes uploads into the caller's own space by SHA-256 (`startUpload` gives Serverpod's upload description, or null when the file is there already and claims it anew; `finishUpload` keeps it only if its content has that hash) and serves an asset row's file to its space's owner and members only, `NotFoundException` otherwise, also for a deleted row (the sync engine hides tombstones). Files live in the private database storage at `spaces/<space>/<sha256>`, at most 20 MB each, and within limits (`file_limits.dart`, from the environment: an anonymous person 100 MB, an identified one 500 MB or what a `file_allowance` row grants them, the instance 15 GB), checked when an upload starts (unfinished uploads count, or they could fill the disk unnoticed) and again when it finishes (only what is kept counts), refused with `FileLimitExceededException`; `deletePerson` deletes the person's files and allowance, and `FilePruningFutureCall` deletes daily those no live row refers to (or never finished), 7 days after they were last claimed. In the app, `AssetRepository` (`core/asset/`) keeps files by hash in the person's folder (`files/`, uploads waiting marked in `files/uploads/`), uploads after each sync that went through, and downloads on demand, checking the hash; every hash is checked to be one before it becomes part of a path. Content names a file by the URL `asset:<asset row id>` (`assetUrl`, `RichContent.assetIds`): images are the editor's `image` block, sounds an `audio` block (`core/editor/file_blocks.dart`), and any other URL is never fetched. `StoredFileImage` loads through the repository like Flutter's `NetworkImage`, keyed by the person's repository too, so no image crosses people.

- **Serverpod's version moves together with `serverpod_offline_sync`**, which allows only a narrow range of Serverpod (v0.0.10: `>=4.0.4 <4.1.0`; v0.0.8 pinned v4.0.0 exactly, which the root `pubspec.yaml` overrode until 2026-10-09). Every package pins Serverpod's packages to one version: upgrade them all together with the sync packages and the CLI version CI generates code with (`SERVERPOD_VERSION` in `.forgejo/workflows/ci.yaml`), after reading the sync package's changelog. Never override a version the sync package doesn't allow without checking what changed in `serverpod_database`, which it builds on. Its shared part, `serverpod_offline_sync`, comes from our fork (the root `pubspec.yaml`'s `dependency_overrides`, `project-halkyon/serverpod-offline-sync` on code.halkyon.app, branch `halkyon/byte-payloads`, decided 2026-10-12): v0.0.10 compares byte payloads byte by byte through a UUID parse that throws for each byte, so one sync touching a few thousand cards blocked the server for minutes. Move the fork along when upgrading, and drop it once a release has the fix.
- **The source-code link**: both licences require offering the source of what an instance runs to the people who use it. `instance.info().sourceCodeUrl` names it (the operator's `SOURCE_URL`, else this project's repository) and the app's About dialog shows it next to the licences and every package's notice. Keep it working when changing the dialog or the endpoint.
- **Public profiles** (ADR 0005, stage 1 of the public tier): `public_profile` (`serverOnly`, never sent; the app gets a `Profile`, without the person's id) holds a handle (Mastodon's rules: 1 to 30 letters, digits or underscores, unique whatever their case through `handleKey`, a few reserved for the instance; changeable until the first publish, `firstPublishedAt`), a display name, a bio, up to 4 links and an avatar. `ProfileEndpoint` (`identified` only: a profile is for others to see) reads, saves and removes the caller's own, and says why a handle couldn't be theirs (`checkHandle`, null when it can: whose a handle is, `byHandle` tells anyone already); `ProfilesEndpoint` finds anyone's by handle. Handles are on the account domain (`ACCOUNT_DOMAIN`, else the server's public host; `instance.info().accountDomain`), which can never change once anyone follows a handle on it. An avatar is a PNG of at most 1 MB that the app draws anew from the picture chosen (`avatarPng`, so a photo's metadata never leaves the device), kept in the public storage at `avatars/<SHA-256>.png`, named by its content so its URL tells nothing about whose it is, and deleted once no profile shows it. In the app, the Profile tab holds it in a card of its own after the account's and the inbox's (each part a card, as Settings groups its own), as a form, for people with an identity, that saves as it is written (decided 2026-10-12): a field when it is left or Enter is pressed in it, a link when removed, never twice the same; the handle is chosen in a dialog that asks the instance while it is typed whether it is free, and choosing the first makes the profile with what was written (`PublicProfileBloc` takes saves one at a time, the latest of those waiting next, and a handle chosen holds for every save after it).
- **Publishing** (ADR 0005, stage 2 of the public tier): `PublishEndpoint` (`identified` only, and a public profile: a release names its author) publishes a studyset with everything inside it as its next release. The server reads the person's synced rows (`readReleaseFiles`, `lib/src/publish/`) and writes them through the `git` command (`ReleaseRepository`, never a library linked in) as a commit on `main` and the annotated tag `v<N>` in a bare repository of the studyset's own, `<REPOSITORIES_DIR>/<public id>.git` (`published_studyset`, `serverOnly`; the public id is random, made at the first publish, never a synced row's id). A release holds a directory per studyset (the published one at the top, each inside it named by its id) with `studyset.json`, `cards/<id>.json`, `notes/<id>.json`, `paths/<id>/path.json` with `steps/<id>.json`, `pdfs/<id>.json`, and the files the content names in `files/<sha256>`, described in `files.json`; each item file holds its id, position, tag names and payload as synced, keys sorted and indented, without what is only its author's (a card's `report`, a PDF's `deadline`), and items being deleted (blank payloads) are left out. Publishing is refused (`PublishRefusedException`) without a profile, unless every studyset of it is under a licence allowing it to be passed on (`release_license.dart`; "no derivatives" allowed, and marked in the app), with a card, note or step of more than one current revision, with files not uploaded yet, when nothing changed, or for a name (`slug`: lower-case letters, digits and hyphens, one per studyset of a person, fixed from the first publish) that won't do. Versions count past both the database's highest and the tags', so a version git has and the database lost is never given again, and a release the database can't record is taken back from git. The first publish fixes the person's handle. Git runs apart from the machine's configuration (no system or user configuration, no prompts) with `gc.auto` off, so objects are never removed. Deleting a person deletes their published studysets with their repositories. In the app, Share in a studyset's action row (a lock, or a globe once published; an icon below medium windows) opens the Publish sheet (`feature/publish/`): its name, whether its licence allows publishing, what changed, its releases. Publishing syncs first, since the server builds the release from what it holds; on a refusal for revisions to settle, the app saves merged those whose changes merge (ADR 0003) and tries once more, and lists those changed differently on one side, each opening where it is settled. An author can take a studyset off Explore again (`withdraw`, `withdrawnAt`): nobody can add it, copies get no updates, its releases stay; publishing it again, changed or not, brings it back. The library's cards say who made a studyset ("By you", or a copy's author by the handle in its `publishedAt`) and whether it is out on Explore (a lock or a globe, opening the Publish sheet through `showShareSheet`): `published()` lists the person's studysets published and not withdrawn, and `PublishRepository` remembers them in `published.json` in the person's folder (`PublishedStore`), so the library shows them offline too; publishing, withdrawing and looking one up update it.

- **Explore and copies** (ADR 0005, stage 3, decided 2026-10-09): `ExploreEndpoint` (`requireLogin`: anonymous people explore and learn too) lists the latest release of each published studyset not withdrawn **by fit, never by popularity** (the person's roadmap): search over titles and authors (LIKE's wildcards in what is typed are only themselves), languages (a primary one takes its regional ones), kinds of content held, the newest release first, 30 to a page; the next page only when asked for (Show more, no endless scrolling). What Explore shows of a release is kept beside its repository (`studyset_release`'s title, description, languages, credits), so listing never reads git. `release` gives out the latest release's JSON (one `git cat-file --batch` run) and `file` each file by its hash. **The app makes the copy** (`ReleaseCopier`, `feature/explore/`), as an import: through the person's own repositories, the files among their own files (asset ids in the content swapped for theirs), the tags by name among their own tags, the studysets in their tree, each list in its order; everything is read first, so a release with an item in a schema this app doesn't know is refused whole (`ReleaseUnreadable`). The server never writes into a learner's space. Every item of a copy names where it came from (`published`: publication, item, release; `core/content/published_ref.dart`; card schema 9, note 3, step 3, path 2, PDF 2, studyset 5, the top studyset also with `location`), merged per side like the rest of a card, note or step, so a later release can be taken from where the copy last took one. **A later release is offered, never applied by itself** (`CopyUpdater`, `CopyUpdateBanner` on the copy's top studyset: "v4 is out: 12 changed, 5 new, 2 withdrawn", Update): the app compares it with the release the copy last took (`release(version:)`; releases never change, so the repository caches them) item by item. Cards, notes and steps take the release's content as a revision on the one where they last took a release (`takeRelease`, as `takeDictionaryUpdate`), merging per side: what only the release changed comes in, what the learner changed stays, a side both changed is a conflict settled in the editor. Studysets, paths and PDFs, kept whole, take each field of their payload the learner left as the old release had it; one they changed stays theirs (personal fields, such as a PDF's deadline, too). New items come in where they belong, unless the learner deleted that part; tags the release added come and those it took away go, the learner's own stay; files are fetched only when the person hasn't the same file already (`AssetRepository.idOf`). What the author withdrew stays the learner's, studied on, marked (`withdrawn` in its origin; the card browser's filter Withdrawn by the author); what the learner deleted stays deleted; progress is never touched. A copy of a studyset its author withdrew is offered nothing. **"Learn this here"** (ADR 0005, rule 8): `LearnerCountFutureCall`, daily, counts per published studyset the people of this instance with the `identified` scope who chose to be counted (`countLearning` in their settings, settings schema 8, off unless switched on in Settings › Privacy) and studied a copy of it (a studyset whose payload names it) on 3 or more days of the last 30, fresh starts left out; payloads are decoded in Dart, so one that isn't JSON counts for nothing rather than failing the count. Only `learnersShown` (rounded down: 5, 10, 20, 50, …; none below 5) ever leaves the server, in Explore and the author's Publish sheet. **A copy is published within its licence** (rule 10): the server looks up the original's (`PublishRefusal.forkForbidden` under "no derivatives"; `licenseMustStay` under a licence that keeps adaptations under it, `keepsAdaptations`, in every studyset of the copy), and the release keeps what it is based on (`basedOn`, shown in Explore); a person publishing a copy of their own is its author, and the copy of another instance's studyset goes with its location alone. The server never updates synced rows itself: the sync engine (v0.0.10) stores a ByteData the server updates through it as its JSON text, not its bytes (`_updateRowWithoutRecording`), unreported upstream so far. In the app, Explore is the old app's feed: cards with title, author, the start of the description, the latest release, what it holds, the licence and Add to library (its progress, then In your library, opening the copy); a summary sheet with all of it.
- **Archives** (decided 2026-10-11; `feature/archive/`): a studyset with everything in it and its progress, as one `.zip`, imported from the Library's Import as the person's own (backups, moves between instances, a library brought from elsewhere). `archive.json` says the format (`{"format": 1}`; a newer one is refused whole); the studyset is laid out as a release (studyset.json, cards/, notes/, paths/, pdfs/, a directory per studyset inside, files.json and files/<sha256>), so the release copier writes it (`ReleaseCopier.write`: unlinked, no `published`, its cards marked `archive` as imported ones are, returning each item's new id). A card may name a dictionary entry in place of its payload (`"entry": {"source", "language", "id"}`): the import makes it from the instance's dictionary as adding from it does (`DictionaryEndpoint.entries`, at most 1,000 ids at once), with the tags that brings; an entry the instance lacks leaves the card out, counted. `reviews.json` lists reviews of its cards by their ids in it (`card`, `rating` 1–4, `reviewedAt`, optional `durationMs` and `mode`), appended to the person's review log once the cards are in, so schedules go on from them. Reading runs on an isolate of its own (`ArchiveReader`; tests read inline). There is no export into it yet.
- **Reports and suggestions** (ADR 0005, stage 4, rule 11): `feedback_thread` (a report or suggestion: `publicationId` and `kind` columns, everything else in its payload: what it is about by release item id and version, a report's category, the text, a suggestion's proposed payload and the files it names), `feedback_message` (replies) and `feedback_decision` (an author's closed, reopened, hidden, shown, accepted, declined; the latest of each pair stands) are synced tables each person writes in their own space; a thread or reply names its thread by id only, as it may be another person's. `gatherFeedback` (`lib/src/feedback/`) assembles them for `FeedbackEndpoint.threadsOf` (`requireLogin`: public) and `InboxEndpoint` (`identified`: the inbox, unseen counts, `markSeen`, `block`, `file`) and decides what counts as it reads (see the ADR), since a modified app could write anything. `feedback_block` and `feedback_seen` are server-only; `deletePerson` deletes both. A release's commit credits the writers of suggestions accepted since the last (`Co-authored-by`). In the app (`feature/feedback/`): the card's Report sheet offers "Send to the author too" on a card from a release; a copy's ⋮ menu reports the studyset and lists its threads, as Explore's summary does; the editors of cards (⋮), notes and steps (app bar) suggest to the author (refused under "no derivatives"); the Inbox is in the Profile tab, with a count on the tab (`InboxCountBloc`, refreshed at start and whenever the inbox is read or acted on; no timer); a thread's sheet shows a suggestion beside the author's own item, its replies, and the author's decisions. Accepting writes the proposed content as the author's own revision (`FeedbackRepository.accept`), the writer's files fetched by hash.
