Root-cause fix for the unstoppable-alarm incident (alarm rang 15 minutes,
only uninstall silenced it) plus systematic hardening of every stop path.
Native (Kotlin):
- Verified stop: stopActiveAlarm now derives its result from the real
post-teardown state (companion instance + synchronous stopEverything +
activeRingingId check) instead of reporting unconditional success.
- Atomic teardown: every stop path (stop action, notification button,
snooze, missed, onDestroy, startForeground failure) funnels through one
stopEverything() covering audio, wakelock, notification, foreground
state and firing-record cleanup; player.release() guarded.
- Bounded ringing: 10-minute auto-silence armed via AlarmManager fires a
FIRED->MISSED transition with a localized missed-alarm notification;
repeating alarms keep their native rearm, deleted alarms never produce
ghost MISSED notifications.
- Durable firing record with onStartCommand re-validation (resurrection
guard) and boot-time stale cleanup; firing records cleared on every
refuse/mismatch/cancel path.
- New notification-only dismissal channel (dismissAlarmNotificationOnly)
so UI-level dedup can never kill a live ring's audio.
Flutter (Dart):
- Stop/disable/edit/delete of a ringing alarm always attempt to silence
it; on native-query failure the stop falls back toward silence via the
id-scoped legacy stop.
- Verified-stop results surface failures: the ringing screen keeps
dismiss-by-design on success, but on a verified failure it stays up
with a persistent force-stop banner (guarded against double-dismiss)
and auto-dismisses if the ring ends externally (missed/notification).
- Missed events sync alarm bookkeeping without opening the ringing UI.
- 4 new l10n keys translated across all 13 locales (ARB guard green).
550 tests green, analyzer clean. Reviewed in 3 adversarial 4-lens rounds
(2 deterministic + 1 refuter-corroborated critical fixed); formal
gentle-ai receipt waived by maintainer authorization (correction scope
legitimately exceeded the frozen genesis paths). On-device QA checklist
in openspec/changes/alarm-system-overhaul/tasks.md pending before
archive.
Folders over the 50-item cap now show a "Mas..." item that reveals
the next page on tap, instead of silently dropping the rest. Paging
slices the cheap raw list before building any MediaItem, so items
beyond the requested page are never resolved (art, title) -- proven
by a call-count test. Also swaps the raw SAF content:// URI shown in
settings for a parsed, human-readable folder name with a localized
fallback across all 13 locales.
servicio_audio.dart is untouched; this stays entirely within the
local-music tree/dispatch layer.
Phase 1: pick a device folder via SAF (persisted grant, no new
permission), browse its nested subfolders/tracks as a 5th Android
Auto root folder (hidden until configured), and play tracks through
the existing pipeline (EQ, art rotation, cold-start-safe source).
No metadata/sort/filter/shuffle yet -- filename is the title, generic
rotating art is the placeholder; deferred to a follow-up phase.
Adds a new pluriwave/file_actions native method (listAudioChildren)
and an onActivityResult override in MainActivity for the SAF folder
picker -- both static-review-only, no Android build available here.
Centralize every native-side user-facing string in a single
AlarmNotificationStrings store written by Flutter via a new
setNotificationStrings MethodChannel whenever the app locale changes,
and read at notification/channel build time (with English fallbacks)
even when the engine is dead. This replaces the hardcoded Spanish text
in the ringing notification ("Alarma PluriWave", "Posponer", "Detener"),
the pre-notice notification ("Posponer", "Omitir esta vez"), both
notification channels (names + descriptions) and the file-action
choosers ("Abrir carpeta", "Abrir grabación").
The per-alarm preNoticeTemplate/snoozeCountdown template+label args are
dropped from scheduleAlarm and the persisted spec and folded into the
shared store, so a locale change now also relocalizes already-scheduled
alarms. Channels are re-created on each use so their name/description
refresh after a language switch.
Adds alarmRingingNotificationTitle, alarmFire/PreNoticeChannelName,
alarmFire/PreNoticeChannelDescription and openFolder/openRecording
chooser keys across all 13 locales (reusing snoozeAction, stopAlarmAction,
skipNextAction, snoozeAgainAction). Rewrites the template test around
setNotificationStrings. Kotlin is static-reviewed only; no Android build
environment available here.
The snooze button was fire-and-forget without error handling: if
posponerAlarma threw (e.g. native scheduleAlarm returns false on a
device without exact-alarm permission), _dismissScreen never ran. The
stuck modal also kept _alarmaSonandoActiva true, which made the next
ring get ignored. _posponer/_detener now dismiss in a finally and stop
audio defensively.
Add a native, AlarmManager-driven snooze countdown notification that
re-posts every minute ("Rings in N min", 3->2->1) while the engine is
dead. scheduleSpec drives scheduleSnoozeCountdown for snoozes (instead
of the 30-min pre-notice). Localized text and button labels travel
Dart->Kotlin as {minutes} templates, same pattern as preNoticeTemplate.
Notification actions: "snooze again" (snoozeAgain, anchored to now)
reports back via the existing snoozed event; "stop" (cancelSnooze)
records a handled occurrence for cold-start reconciliation and emits a
new snoozeCancelled event handled in EstadoAlarmas.
Adds snoozeCountdown/snoozeAgainAction keys across all 13 locales and a
test for the snoozeCancelled event. Kotlin changes are static-reviewed
only; no Android build environment available here.
Fix multi-device EQ auto-switching by calling obtenerDispositivoActual()
during cargarPersistido() to seed the initial device ID. Add device
management modal with rename support, EQ preset editing, and connection
status indicator. Translate device UI keys to all 13 locales.
Introduce multi-device EQ support allowing each audio output device
(built-in speaker, wired, USB, individual Bluetooth by MAC) to have
its own equalizer preset, combined with existing per-station presets
for a full station×device matrix.
- Add DispositivoAudio model and ServicioDispositivoAudio interface
- Add Android platform channel (AudioDeviceCallback) for device detection
- Add iOS AudioDevicesPlugin (AVAudioSession route tracking)
- Extend ServicioEcualizador with device and matrix persistence keys
- Implement 4-level resolution: matrix > station > device > global
- Add advanced EQ settings section with feature toggle (off by default)
- Extend export/import to v3 with backward compatibility
- 184 tests passing, zero analyzer issues
- Replace all hardcoded Color literals outside lib/tema with theme tokens (new static brand palette in PluriWaveTokens); media notification uses the brand color instead of the Material default purple
- Favorite button on station cards grows to a 48dp target and becomes an independent semantics node for screen readers (Semantics container fix)
- All flutter_animate call sites route through the PluriAnimate reduced-motion gate (zero direct .animate() left)
- Locale-aware short dates via intl DateFormat (new lib/l10n/formato_fechas.dart) replacing the hardcoded DD/MM/YYYY; proper plural messages for the favorites counter; example stream URL as a localized key - all 13 locales
- Rounded shimmer placeholders matching card radii; shimmer loading state in search instead of a bare spinner; rounded icon variants unified in settings; bottom-sheet conventions on the custom station form
- Fix latent debug crash: vacation editor read AppLocalizations in initState
- 11 new tests (121 total green), flutter analyze clean
- Construct the audio player with an enlarged live-stream buffer (15-50s forward cushion, 2.5s to start, 5s after rebuffer) so short network drops play through silently
- Add reconnect-on-stall state machine with bounded exponential backoff (1/2/4/8/16s, ~90s total window, 5 attempts) that re-prepares to the live edge; backoff/decision logic extracted to controlador_reconexion.dart as pure testable code
- Surface a new reconnecting playback state in the mini player and full player (localized in all 13 locales) instead of error dialogs during the retry window; a single friendly error appears only after exhaustion
- Guard interplay: user pause/stop cancels retries, audio interruptions cancel reconnect, alarm wake-up path keeps precedence, recording fails cleanly during drops
- Reset retry budget on station change; route stream timeouts through the network-error class
- 10 new tests (99 total green), flutter analyze clean
- Use mediaPlayback|systemExempted FGS type with FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SYSTEM_EXEMPTED so alarms fire on Android 14+ (FOREGROUND_SERVICE_ALARM does not exist in the SDK)
- Deduplicate fire notifications: the foreground service FSI notification is the single owner; receiver path removed
- Notification channel v2 with alarm sound URI and USAGE_ALARM attributes, one-time guarded migration from legacy channels
- Pass fallback station through the MethodChannel (NativeAlarmSpec schemaVersion 3) with a three-stage audio chain: primary -> fallback station -> bundled WAV
- Native fade-in volume ramp honoring fadeInSegundos when the app is killed
- Request battery-optimization exemption once, tracked with a persisted asked-once flag
- Fix snooze end-to-end: native ACTION_SNOOZE now reports back to Flutter (snoozed event + cold-start sync), snooze anchor unified to occurrence+minutes on both sides, periodic recalc no longer erases an active snooze
- Add snooze buttons (3/5/10/custom) to the ringing screen with shared audio teardown
- Redesign ringing screen on PluriWaveScaffold with reduced-motion-aware entry animation (new PluriAnimate helper)
- Alarm editor: live next-trigger preview, searchable station pickers (primary and fallback), configurable snooze duration, volume floor down to 0
- New alarm strings localized across all 13 locales
- New unit/widget tests for the snooze flow, alarm bridge payloads, ringing screen and editor (77 tests green)
- SDD artifacts for the app-quality-and-native-alarms change (explore, proposal, spec, design, tasks, apply progress)
- Updated Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese localization files with new strings for search and alarm functionalities.
- Enhanced the search screen with localized titles, subtitles, and filter labels.
- Integrated localization into the alarm screen, including actions and messages related to alarm management.
- Refactored country and language lists to use localized keys for better maintainability.
- Improved user experience by providing localized hints and messages throughout the application.
