Report health on every transport, not only the broker
A shop configured for the HTTP route uploaded 17 bills correctly today and never once appeared on the fleet board. Nothing logged it, because from the terminal's point of view nothing had failed: the reporter was typed against MqttOrderTransport and started behind an `is MqttOrderTransport` check, so on HTTP it was silently never constructed. A monitoring feature that quietly does not exist on one of two supported routes is worse than no feature, because the blank square reads as "no terminals" rather than "not wired up". publishHealth moves onto the OrderTransport interface. The broker publishes to the health topic as before; HTTP posts the same payload to POST /pos/health; the simulated route does nothing, which is the honest answer for a till with no back office configured. The reporter is now started for every route. There was no test for the reporter at all, which is why this shipped. There are five now, including one that fails on the old code. Also removes test/widget_test.dart — the stock `flutter create` counter test, referencing a MyApp that never existed here. It has never compiled and was the only red in the suite. 263 tests pass, analyzer clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Upload shopper registrations, and charge GST to the lines that earned it
Two defects that share a shape: a figure landing on the wrong record.
Bill-level discounts were apportioned across every line by a single
factor, so "20% off Beverages" pulled tax out of the atta line as well.
The bill total was right either way, which is what made it easy to ship
— only the slab split on a filed return was wrong. Targeted campaigns
now reduce the lines they name, and bill-wide reductions still spread
pro rata, so the arithmetic is unchanged wherever it was already right.
Shoppers registered at a till only ever reached the back office as three
fields riding along on a bill. Somebody who signed up and bought nothing
existed on one terminal and nowhere else, and two tills registering the
same mobile each minted their own row. Customers are now an outbox of
their own on pos/{store}/{terminal}/customer, and the id is a UUIDv5
over the normalised mobile number — so a hundred terminals agree on who
a shopper is without talking to each other.
Registrations go up before bills, and a failure there cannot strand a
day's takings. No loyalty figures are sent: they belong to the bill
stream, which is idempotent and knows about every counter.
Two things found while building it. Numbers were keyed on raw digits, so
a cashier typing +91 forked a shopper as effectively as a random id
would. And the sale path wrote the customer with ConflictAlgorithm
.replace, which is a DELETE and an INSERT — every column absent from the
row reverts to its schema default, so the new sync flag would have been
cleared by the shopper's next purchase.
Schema v8. Existing customers are queued rather than assumed sent: the
terminal cannot tell an imported row from a locally registered one, and
only one of those mistakes loses somebody.

Pull the catalogue from a real endpoint, with delta sync
Replaces the last simulation on the inbound side. RemoteCatalogueSource
returned SeedData after a fake progress bar; there was no wire format, no
endpoint, and no way to receive an update short of reinstalling.
Wire format (data/remote/catalogue_wire.dart)
- Tolerant where it should be: a catalogue of 4,000 products must not fail to
import over one absent emoji, so optional fields take defaults and an
unrecognised category files under Grocery — the item still scans, prices and
bills.
- Strict where it matters: no id, name, barcode or price and the import fails.
A silently dropped product is a shelf item that scans to nothing, discovered
with a queue waiting.
- GST accepts 18 or 0.18 and reads both the same. Back offices disagree about
which they mean, and getting it wrong silently changes the tax on every line.
HTTP source with paging and deltas
- GET {base}/catalogue?since={revision}&page={n}. Paged because a supermarket
catalogue is tens of thousands of rows: one response times out on a shop's
line and stalls the UI decoding it. Capped at 200 pages so a bad deployment
cannot become an infinite request loop against a shop's connection.
- `since` carries the revision already held, so a normal morning fetches a
handful of price changes rather than the whole book. A server that cannot do
deltas ignores it and answers is_delta:false — the terminal reads the flag
rather than assuming, so both work.
- A bad credential is non-retryable and says so, leaving the working catalogue
in place so billing continues.
Applying deltas without losing local state
- A full snapshot withdraws what it omits; a delta must not. Read as a
snapshot, the first morning price change would empty the shelf.
- Retired products are marked inactive, not deleted — order lines already
recorded point at them, and a hard delete would orphan a bill's history.
- Locally registered shoppers survive a pull, as before.
- The unsynced-stock replay is now scoped to the products the pull actually
overwrote. It exists because a server count predates local sales; running it
over a delta that never carried that product would subtract those units a
second time and quietly empty a shelf that is full. Both halves of that rule
are tested.
MQTT stays the nudge, not the transport: a catalogue push on
pos/{store}/catalogue makes every terminal pull immediately, but the rows come
over HTTP, because a broker is the wrong shape for tens of thousands of them.
Tests: 210 -> 234. docs/sync-contract.md now covers both directions, including
a field-by-field table of what happens when something is missing.

Give every terminal its own identity, and report fleet presence
Answers "which of my 100 tills are alive and healthy", and fixes three things that were fine on one device and broken on a hundred. Terminal identity (lib/data/local/terminal_identity.dart) - Every device mints a UUID on first run, stored in its own database, plus a short code (T4A9) derived from it. Renaming keeps the device id, so history keeps pointing at the same physical till. - Replaces the literal 'TERM-01', which was hardcoded in five places. The whole fleet reported as one terminal: shift reports merged, MQTT topics collided, and a second connection with the same client id evicts the first from the broker — so two tills would have knocked each other offline in a loop. Invoice numbers now carry the terminal code - INV-2608-T4A9-00042. The sequence counter lives in each till's own database and starts at 1, so without this every terminal in the fleet minted INV-2608-00001 for its first sale of the month. The order UUID kept the data distinct; the number a customer quotes on a receipt was not. SQLite pragmas - WAL, so the product grid refreshing does not block the sale being written, and the file is never left mid-rewrite by a power cut. - busy_timeout 5s, so a contended lock waits instead of throwing "database is locked" — which at checkout is a failed sale with a customer standing there. - synchronous NORMAL, the right trade under WAL for a till. Fleet presence (lib/data/sync/presence_reporter.dart) - Retained status record on connect and once a minute: device id, code, name, app version, pending bill count, last upload, catalogue revision, sync halt state. Retained so a dashboard connecting at noon gets all 100 terminals immediately rather than a blank board. - The Last Will already said "reachable". A till can be connected and still be holding 200 unsent bills or running last month's prices; only pending_bills and catalogue_revision say so. NATS - The MQTT gateway maps / to . so the existing transport works unchanged. SyncConfig.asNatsSubject() exposes the translation, and the contract doc gives the JetStream subjects (pos.*.*.order, pos.*.*.status) plus the two server-side requirements: a file-backed stream, and the ack published by the consumer after commit rather than by the ingest handler. Tests: 129 -> 140. New coverage for identity minting and stability, per-device invoice uniqueness, topic and client-id separation, NATS subject mapping, and the two pragmas. Suite run three times clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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.
