Drain bills to the back office automatically, over MQTT or HTTP
Turns the orders table into a queue that empties itself. Bills were only uploaded when a cashier pressed Sync at end of day; a till that was never pressed held a day's takings indefinitely. Drain engine (lib/data/sync/sync_engine.dart) - Triggers on sale committed, network regained, 5-minute poll, head-office request, and the manual button. - Single flight: a busy till firing a trigger per sale would otherwise have several passes reading the same pending rows and send every bill twice. A trigger arriving mid-drain is queued and replayed, so nothing is dropped. - Exponential backoff with +/-20% jitter to a 5-minute ceiling. The jitter matters: a store's terminals all fail at the same instant when the line drops, and would retry in lockstep without it. - Halts rather than loops on a failure retrying cannot fix (bad credential, refused batch). Pressing Sync clears the halt. Transports (lib/data/remote/) - OrderTransport interface; MQTT, HTTP and simulated implementations. The repository does not know which is in use. - MQTT: QoS 1 uplink, application-level ACK correlated by batch_id on a return topic, retained Last Will for terminal-offline detection, downlink for catalogue pushes and remote sync requests. - A broker PUBACK is never treated as acceptance. It means the broker holds the bytes, not that the ledger took the sale. Only ids the back office names are marked synced; silence leaves a bill pending. - HTTP carries a stable idempotency key across retries of the same bills. Retention - Accepted bills are kept 7 days instead of deleted, so a batch the back office later loses can be re-sent in full. Purged after that; archived totals stay forever. - forBusinessDate now reads pending rows only. A retained bill exists in both the orders table and day_archive, and summing both would overstate the day. Fixes found while building this - SyncEngine._refreshPending wrote state.copyWith(pending: await ...). Dart evaluates the receiver before the awaited argument, so a connectivity drop during the wait was silently overwritten by the stale snapshot. Caught by the first run of the new engine tests. - PrinterSettingsController wrote state after four awaits with no mounted check, throwing "used after dispose" when Settings was left mid-load. This was pre-existing and reached the cashier as a red screen. Also - Header pill now reports real sync state: LIVE / n QUEUED / SYNCING / SYNC HALTED, with an explanation of where the bills are. - Settings shows the route, last upload, next retry and retention window. - docs/sync-contract.md states what the back office must implement, including the idempotency requirement that at-least-once delivery makes mandatory. Tests: 90 -> 129 passing. New coverage for backoff shape and jitter band, single flight, halting, ACK correlation and partial acceptance, at-least-once duplicate handling, retention and purge, and no double-counting after a sync. Suite run six times clean. Not addressed: bills already synced by an older build went up overstated and still need server-side reconciliation. Broker credentials have no Settings editor yet.
