The developer's request of 10 Nov 2026, decided in ADR 0042: on mobile
data every app holds its sync back, rows and files alike, and asks.
halkyon_app becomes an Android plugin, its first native code, registered
in every app by Flutter: HalkyonAppPlugin.java says which network the
device is on and whether it is metered as Android has it (no
NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_METERED: cellular, a phone's hotspot, Wi-Fi marked
metered). Java, so it applies no Kotlin Gradle Plugin.
MobileDataGate, one per device, holds the setting (Ask first, Sync
without files, Sync everything; kept in <app support>/mobile_data.json),
the network, and the person's answer, which holds until the device moves
to another network or off a metered one. SyncService asks it before each
sync: held back, nothing goes, the status counts what waits and asks; an
answer or Wi-Fi syncs at once, and syncing now while held back is Sync
now. Each app's frame shows the banner above every tab, in halkyon_ui's
new NavigationFrame.banner slot (On mobile data · 3 changes waiting, with
Not now, Without files and Sync now); the Sync card in Settings chooses
the setting on a phone and says when files wait for Wi-Fi. Learn's files
neither go up nor come down while held back.
Whats-New: On mobile data the app no longer syncs by itself: a banner asks first, and Settings › Sync chooses whether to ask, sync without files, or sync everything.
Whats-New-De: Mit mobilen Daten synchronisiert die App nicht mehr von selbst: Ein Hinweis fragt zuerst, und unter Einstellungen › Synchronisierung wählst du, ob sie fragt, ohne Dateien oder alles synchronisiert.

What every Halkyon app's shell needs, taken from Halkyon Learn's and set
on halkyon_base's client: the instances a device keeps an account on,
the first start's tiles and where an instance keeps people's data, the
account switcher; signing in anonymously, with GitHub or an email code,
switching person and the start screen; the gates that build an app's
dependencies per instance and per person; and the sync service with its
status, Settings card and banner. Texts of its own in English and
German take the app's name; what only the app can say, it passes in.
Fakes for apps' tests are in testing.dart.
An instance's basics now name the app it serves (`app`, set by the
host's configuration), and an app accepts only an instance of its own.
SerialQueue and CoalescingRunner move into halkyon_core.
