feat(ui): every app's frame around its tabs, Learn's moved into halkyon_ui
NavigationFrame is Learn's AppShell without its router and its tabs: a
navigation rail from medium windows on with the app's icon on top,
leading to the first tab, a bar floating above the foot below, the
background of the screen in view around it, and a tick on every choice.
TabsStack is Learn's container of the tabs' navigators, every tab kept
alive and told whether it shows. Learn's shell is built on both, its
tests unchanged; Train's is next.

The rail's icon is drawn from 120 px at most in memory, as Learn's was.

# halkyon_ui
Halkyon's look, shared by its apps (Learn, Todo, Train): one theme around the
kingfisher's cobalt and copper, the bundled Noto Sans, Material 3's window
sizes, and the widgets every app's screens are built of, with their texts in
British English, American English and German.
Written as the apps are: Dart 3.13's primary constructors, Material from
`package:material_ui` (never `package:flutter/material.dart`), Lucide icons,
LeanCode's lints.
## What it holds
- **Theme** (`lib/src/theme/`): `appTheme(brightness, extensions: …)`, Material
3 with hand-written light and dark schemes (primary cobalt, tertiary copper,
cobalt-tinted neutrals), Material 3 Expressive's 64 dp navigation bar, flat
app bars, floating snack bars; `Brand`; `ThemeExtras`, the status colours
Material has no role for (`Theme.of(context).extras`); `PaletteColor`, the
20 colours a person can give content, each with a text colour held to WCAG
AA by a test; `FittedSnackBars`.
- **Fonts**: Noto Sans for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic, every weight in one
variable file, as `appFontFamily` (`packages/halkyon_ui/Noto Sans`). Chinese,
Japanese and Korean fall back to `Noto Sans JP`, `SC`, `TC` and `KR`, which
an app bundles itself if it needs them (`appFontFallbackFor` puts a
language's own first).
- **Layout** (`lib/src/layout/`): `WindowSize` (`context.windowSize`) and
`readableContentMaxWidth`.
- **Widgets** (`lib/src/widget/`): `showAdaptiveSheet` with `SheetScaffold`;
`TopGradient`, `ScreenTint`, `ScreenColor`, `TintFrame`, `FramedScreen`
and `TabVisibility`; `FloatingNavigationBar`, and `NavigationFrame`, every
app's frame around its tabs (the rail with the app's icon, the floating
bar, a tick on every choice), whichever router drives it;
`AppLoadingIndicator`, `ButtonLoadingIndicator`, `AppRefreshIndicator`;
`SectionCard`, `SliverCentered`, `EmptyListMessage`, `CountBadge`,
`TitleWithKicker`, `CollapsingRow`, `ScrollHidingFab`, `liftWhileDragged`,
`ReorderToggle`, `ReorderGrip`; `ChevronField`, `requiredDecoration`,
`FieldInfoButton`, `CountStepper`, `PaletteColorPicker`, `TextLimits` with
`nearLimitCounter`; `confirmDestructiveAction`, `showUndoSnackBar`,
`showMoreInfoSheet`; `FoundById`; `KeyboardBackOnResume`; `BrandWordmark`
and `LaunchScreen`, which take the app's word and icon.
What belongs to one app stays in it: its own colours (an extension passed to
`appTheme`), routes, repositories, editors and texts.
## Using it in an app
Depend on it by path, within the repository's workspace (an app's packages sit in
`apps/<app>/`), so a change to the package and to the apps using it is one commit:
```yaml
dependencies:
halkyon_ui:
path: ../../../packages/halkyon_ui
```
Then set the app up as `example/lib/main.dart` does:
```dart
MaterialApp(
theme: appTheme(Brightness.light, extensions: [MyColors.light]),
darkTheme: appTheme(Brightness.dark, extensions: [MyColors.dark]),
localizationsDelegates: const [
AppLocalizations.delegate,
HalkyonUiLocalizations.delegate,
// material_ui's: flutter_localizations' serve only the SDK's Material.
...GlobalMaterialLocalizations.delegates,
],
supportedLocales: AppLocalizations.supportedLocales,
builder: (context, child) => FittedSnackBars(child: child!),
…
);
```
and call `registerFontLicenses()` at start. An app bundling the CJK fonts
declares them in its own `pubspec.yaml` under exactly the names
`appFontFallback` lists (no `packages/` prefix) and registers their licence
itself.
## Texts
`lib/l10n/halkyon_ui_en.arb` is the template (British English, also the
fallback); `halkyon_ui_de.arb` German, informal "du"; `halkyon_ui_en_US.arb`
only what American English spells differently; `halkyon_ui_en_GB.arb` empty. A
new text goes into the template and German together (`test/l10n/` fails
otherwise). `flutter pub get` writes `lib/l10n/halkyon_ui_localizations*.dart`,
which are committed and never edited or
formatted by hand.
## Checks
From the workspace root: `dart analyze --fatal-infos`; then `flutter test` in
`packages/halkyon_ui` and in `packages/halkyon_ui/example`, whose tests check
what only an app sees (the font under the name an app finds it by, its
licence).
