Sign-in compared `admin@nearle.in` / `nearle123` — a compile-time const — after
a 600ms delay standing in for a network call that was never made. Two things
followed, and the second was the serious one.
Every install of a build shared one password, and changing it meant a rebuild.
Worse: because nothing was checked with the back office, the *outlet* could not
come from the sign-in. It came from a store id typed into Settings, so the till
asserted which shop it belonged to and the server took its word. One field on
one screen moved a terminal into another tenant's books.
Now a person signs in with their own back-office account and the outlet arrives
as a consequence — sealed in a signed token, checked server-side on every
request, and not editable from this device. `DemoCredentials` is gone, along
with the prefilled fields and the "Demo account" hint that printed the password
on the login screen.
The pieces:
- `PosSession` — what the back office answers with. The token is opaque on
purpose: the till must not parse it or reason about what it appears to say.
- `SessionStore` — the whole session to the platform keystore, not SQLite. The
token is a bearer credential and SQLite here is a file behind a shop counter.
An expired session reads back as absent, so no caller has to remember to
check.
- `SyncConfig.bearerToken` — one accessor rather than the same `??` at each
call site, because the request that forgot it would be the one silently
sending no credentials. The session beats a static API key: the key says the
request came from our fleet, the session says which outlet it came from, and
only the second can stop a till reaching another tenant's books.
- Restore runs in `syncBootstrapProvider` *before* the engine starts. A drain
that began first would upload the day's bills unauthenticated. A till trades
all day; a reboot mid-shift must not put a login screen in front of a queue.
- An outlet picker, shown only when the account genuinely reaches several. Not
dismissable — defaulting silently to the first outlet is how a day's takings
end up filed against the wrong shop.
Store name, address, GSTIN and phone now come down with the session and are
written on sign-in. They were compile-time constants, and on a GST invoice
those fields are a legal requirement rather than decoration.
The smoke test signs in through a fake client and inside `runAsync`: sign-in
reaches SQLite now, and real disk I/O cannot complete on a widget test's fake
clock — pumping alone leaves it suspended for ever.

Bills were persisted correctly but read back wrong. The read path rebuilt a
cart from its lines alone, dropping bill-level discounts and loyalty, so every
figure derived from a stored bill was overstated: the upload payload, the day
archive and the shift report. A discounted 529 bill read back as 620.
Money and data integrity
- order_dao: restore bill_discount and points_redeemed when rebuilding a cart;
keep the reconstruction tier-less so the membership discount is not applied
twice. Trust the recorded total and points via SaleTransaction.storedTotal.
- checkout_sale + order_dao.commitSale: write the bill, its stock movement and
the loyalty update in one transaction. Previously a failure part-way through
left a persisted bill the cashier believed had failed, inviting a duplicate.
- checkout_sale: re-check every line against live stock. A parked bill resumed
after its stock was sold passed validation and oversold.
- catalogue_dao: allocate the invoice sequence in one transaction; the previous
read-modify-write could hand two sales the same number and fail UNIQUE.
- local_store: replay unsynced sales after a catalogue import, so a mid-shift
re-import cannot restore stock that has already been sold.
- payment_controller: stamp the signed-in operator on the bill instead of the
hardcoded seed session, and pass the terminal id through.
- cart: reconcile per-slab GST against the bill total so the parts sum to the
whole on a tax invoice.
Sync and reporting
- sync_repository: drain unsynced bills in a loop rather than silently capping
at one page; stop on rejection so rejected rows cannot loop forever.
- sync_log_dao (new): persist the sync history to the sync_log table, which the
schema already defined but nothing used. It was in memory, so the only record
that bills had been uploaded died at restart.
- Scope shift reports by cashier. day_archive is re-keyed to
(business_date, cashier_name) so a till stays settleable after its bills are
uploaded and deleted. Schema v4 with a migration that carries v3 rows across.
Input and UI
- barcode_service: consume machine-paced keystrokes so a scan cannot also land
in the focused field, and raise the bar to 60ms/char while a text field has
focus so typing a mobile number is not read as a scan. Clock and focus check
injected so the behaviour is testable.
- primary_button: make the label flexible; label plus trailing total overflowed
the Charge button by up to 131px.
- app_router: redirect instead of null-casting when the receipt route is
entered without its transaction.
- customer_repository: reduce the search query to digits so a punctuated mobile
number matches.
Cleanup
- Remove TransactionRepository.save, CustomerRepository.recordSale and
OrderDao.insertOrder, all superseded by commitSale.
- dart fix across the tree; 251 analyzer issues down to 3 info-level.
Tests: 23 passing / 15 failing -> 90 passing. Fixed the two defects that broke
the existing suite (containsAll type argument, reset() needing a catalogue) and
deleted the leftover template test. Added coverage for the order round trip,
the day archive after a real sync, stock safety, checkout atomicity, the v3->v4
migration, scanner-versus-human input, and an app-level smoke test that renders
every module.
Note: bills already uploaded with a discount went up overstated. This stops it
happening again but does not correct historical server data.
