Two production must-haves for field staff: scans don't disappear
when signal drops, and there's a fallback when the camera can't
read a damaged QR.
Offline buffer:
- PendingScan model (local uuid + serial + DOP id + lat/lng +
timestamp). JSON-encoded.
- ScanQueue: shared_preferences-backed FIFO, capped at 500 items
(oldest dropped on overflow). API: readAll / add / removeByLocalIds
/ clear / count.
- ScanRepository.scan() now branches on outcome:
- Server reachable + OK → accepted
- Server reachable + 4xx with reason → rejected (duplicate /
expired / invalid). NOT queued — these are permanent answers.
- DioException / unexpected exception → enqueued + return
networkError with "Saved offline · {message}".
- ScanSyncer: drains up to 100 items per call to /scanner/scan/bulk,
removes the batch on success regardless of per-scan acceptance
(the server has the canonical state now), reports
(processed, accepted, kept) so the UI can announce the outcome.
- pendingCountProvider state syncs from disk via
pendingCountInitProvider on home-screen mount.
Home screen surface:
- New amber "X scan(s) waiting to sync" banner appears whenever
pending > 0. Has a "Sync now" button that runs ScanSyncer.drain()
and shows a SnackBar with the result.
Manual entry:
- Keyboard icon in the camera-screen top bar opens the
ManualEntrySheet (bottom sheet with a monospace input).
- Loose client-side validation against the PSGC serial format
(PH-AREA-YYMM-BBBB-CCCCCC-XX). Strict validation happens server-side.
- Submitting goes through the same scan flow → same outcome
feedback, same offline-queue behavior.
- Camera is paused while the sheet is up so the same code can't
double-record.
Bug fix in scan_models:
- ScanResult.scannedAt is non-nullable; the constructor required
it but had no default — analyzer was angry. Promoted to
`required this.scannedAt`.
Tests still pass. flutter analyze: 6 style infos, no errors.
