Fixes #1205(mainly) next-gen protocol support
#1359 renaming badge
#866 settings brightness
#1782 and #1242 live stream

Override #1563

Changes

In this PR we can see the first next-gen protocol implementation.

The app doesn't detect the next-gen profile in the scan state, because the badge expose after this service, so in write state we can detect well if is our firmware or not.

Only when the app connect to FOSSASIA firmware a control panel is displayed with the following controls:
-disconnect

This is because FOSSASIA badge keep connection after a transfer

  • power off badge

The app turn off the badge

  • change brightness

You can change brightness in live

  • live streaming

When you update the Textfield the badge updates instantaneously

  • badge renaming

You can rename a badge to connect specifically on this one, new name is added in the settings to the badge list and badge is rebooted

Important

You need a badge with next-generation protocol implemented. I tested with this version and it works to me: https://github.com/fossasia/badgemagic-firmware/actions/runs/27161014451

The streaming mode is not very smooth, but on the contrary I noticed that the animations work better in streaming mode than in the classic transfer mode

This update can also help to firmware update (#1777) because we can now discriminate our badge from the others

Streaming function:

Note

The badge isn't fully compatible with the Fossasia firmware, which is why the image is distorted. On the prototype, which I broke, the image was clear.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Stop the streaming resources during disposal.

The new _runStreamingLoop continues while _isStreaming and _isNgConnected remain true. dispose() changes neither flag and does not cancel _ngNotifySubscription. The disposed provider can therefore continue BLE writes and retain its stream listener.

Set _isStreaming to false and cancel _ngNotifySubscription before calling super.dispose().

Inline comments:
In `@lib/communication/ng_command_state.dart`:
- Around line 54-60: Update the single-step caller of sendNgCmd to inspect
CompletedState.isSuccess instead of treating every non-null result as success,
and route rejected commands through the existing failure/error-toast path.
Preserve the exception behavior in NormalBleState.process() and the success
handling for successful CompletedState results.
- Around line 29-39: Serialize Next-Gen control and frame writes at a shared
boundary so NgCommandState and AnimationBadgeProvider do not independently
consume the same ngNotifyCharUuid acknowledgement. Route notifications through
one dispatcher for the active operation, await each acknowledgement before
starting the next write, and ensure shutdown awaits the frame operation before
sending leaveStreaming and unsubscribing.

In `@lib/communication/write_state.dart`:
- Around line 131-142: Update the finally block in the write-state flow to
remove the unconditional _safeDisconnect(deviceId) call and the duplicate legacy
disconnect sequence. Invoke _safeDisconnect(deviceId) only inside the
!verifiedNextGen branch, while preserving the Next-Gen branch without any
disconnect.

In `@lib/l10n/app_en.arb`:
- Around line 254-283: Add localized entries for the new keys from app_en.arb to
app_hi.arb and app_it.arb, including matching placeholder metadata for
editingBadgeWithName. Use appropriate Hindi and Italian translations, and do not
add these keys to any Russian locale file.

In `@lib/providers/animation_badge_provider.dart`:
- Line 399: Update the transfer sink and animation helper methods around
transferResult and WriteState to propagate CompletedState? for every transfer
branch, including GIF and special-animation paths, and return that completion
metadata instead of null so callers can detect Next-Gen badges.
- Around line 249-292: Update AnimationBadgeProvider lifecycle handling to
subscribe to UniversalBle.connectionStream for the active Next-Gen device, and
on a false connection event cancel notifications, stop streaming, clear
connection state, and notify listeners. Track and cancel this connection
subscription during explicit disconnect and provider disposal, while preserving
normal connected behavior.

In `@lib/providers/next_gen_provider.dart`:
- Around line 24-26: Update setBleName to validate name.codeUnits.length at
runtime and throw an ArgumentError when it exceeds 20 command bytes, replacing
the debug-only assert; preserve the existing command-byte construction for valid
names.

In `@lib/view/home_screen.dart`:
- Around line 1328-1341: Use a dedicated timer for the Next-Gen update logic in
handleTextChange instead of the shared _debounceTimer: declare _ngUpdateTimer,
cancel and assign it around sendDirectLegacyUpdate, and cancel it in dispose.
Keep _debounceTimer exclusively for _debouncedSavePreferences.
- Around line 814-823: Extract the successful Next-Gen result handling from the
current transfer branch into a helper, preserving the existing finalState checks
and setNgConnected call. Invoke this helper after the Bluetooth transfer
initiated by _showTransferBottomSheet so its returned CompletedState is
processed when USB transfers are enabled as well.
- Around line 1281-1294: Update sendNgCmd and its sendCmd callback type to
return Future<bool>, returning false when no device is available or
NgCommandState.process() fails and true on success. In the rename sequence,
check the results of setBleName and saveCfg and return immediately on failure
before updating state or continuing; preserve the existing power-off,
disconnect, and badge-name updates after successful commands.
- Around line 1318-1326: Update the streaming guard in the surrounding
text-update method so the early badgeAnimation preview and return occur only
when animationProvider.isStreaming and inlineImageController.text equals
previousText; allow changed streaming text to continue through the existing diff
and placeholder-cleanup logic without issuing a duplicate asynchronous preview
update.

In `@lib/view/widgets/common_scaffold_widget.dart`:

const EdgeInsets constructor, preserving the existing inset value and layout
behavior.

Return completion metadata for every transfer branch.

Only the ordinary branch assigns transferResult. GIF and special-animation transfers run through WriteState, but this method returns null for them. The caller therefore cannot detect a Next-Gen badge after these transfers.

Change the transfer sink and animation helpers to preserve and return CompletedState?.

<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** `handleAnimationTransfer` returns null for GIF and cycle-animation transfers even when the underlying transfer succeeds. `_HomeScreenState` only calls `setNgConnected` when the returned state is a successful next-generation `CompletedState`, so those transfers leave the active next-generation connection unregistered and the control panel and live-update path never become available.

**Triggers:** When a next-generation badge receives a GIF or cycle animation.

**Suggested fix:** Propagate the `CompletedState` from every transfer path, or otherwise inspect and return the result of each underlying transfer.

**issue (bug_risk):** Cancelling `_debounceTimer` does not cancel a callback that has already started, so rapid text edits start multiple `sendDirectLegacyUpdate` calls concurrently. Their chunk writes and delays interleave on the same BLE characteristic, producing corrupted or out-of-order badge contents.

**Triggers:** When another text change occurs while a previous debounced update is still writing chunks.

**Suggested fix:** Serialize direct updates with a per-device write queue or generation token, and discard/cancel stale updates before writing their remaining chunks.

**issue (bug_risk):** `sendNgCmd` catches command failures and does not rethrow them, so callers cannot distinguish a rejected command from a successful one. The rename flow consequently updates the local device name, saves the configuration, powers off the badge, and adds the name to settings even when `setBleName` failed.

**Triggers:** When a next-generation command is rejected or its BLE write/timed response fails.

**Suggested fix:** Return the command result and rethrow failures, then stop the rename sequence and avoid updating local/settings state unless each command succeeds.

**issue (bug_risk):** `sendDirectLegacyUpdate` swallows all generation and BLE write errors after logging them, so the text-change path reports completion while the badge still displays the old content and the user receives no failure state.

**Triggers:** When data generation or any direct BLE packet write fails.

**Suggested fix:** Propagate the exception to the caller or expose an update-error state so the UI can report the failed live update.

```suggestion
    } catch (e) {
      logger.e("Error during direct Next-Gen update: $e");
      rethrow;
    }
```

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. 4 findings to address first, and if the protocol handling is wrong, the app could send incorrect commands or streaming frames and persist badge configuration changes such as its name or settings. Reverting the app would not undo those device-side changes, although they are bounded and can generally be corrected with another command or manual reset.

Blocking findings: lib/providers/animation_badge_provider.dart:419, lib/view/home_screen.dart:1339, lib/view/home_screen.dart:557, lib/providers/animation_badge_provider.dart:512

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Both Next-Gen controls disable the streaming shutdown sequence. setNgConnected(false) sets _isStreaming = false in AnimationBadgeProvider, so the following stopLiveStreaming() returns at its if (!_isStreaming) return; guard. NgCommand.leaveStreaming() is never written and UniversalBle.unsubscribe is never called, so the badge stays in streaming mode.

  • lib/view/home_screen.dart#L631-L635: in the power-off handler, call await animationProvider.stopLiveStreaming() first, then send NgCommand.powerOff(), then call setNgConnected(false) before UniversalBle.disconnect.
  • lib/view/home_screen.dart#L673-L676: in the disconnect handler, call await animationProvider.stopLiveStreaming() before setNgConnected(false) and UniversalBle.disconnect.
