Description of the pull request

Flutter 3.47.0 went stable on 2026-08-12, so the SDK's "minimum supported = latest stable − 1" policy makes Flutter 3.44.0 / Dart 3.12.0 the new floor (up from 3.41.0 / 3.11.0).

This is Track B (floor raise) only — Track A ("support Flutter 3.47") already landed in #2882. Following #2721/#2108/#2068, a floor raise is not marked breaking: existing code keeps compiling, older SDKs simply stop resolving the new version, and the CHANGELOG bullets go under 🔄 Changed.

What changed

  • Three version knobs, in lockstep: melos.yaml (source of truth), .fvmrc, and legacy_version_analyze.yml's flutter_version — the last set to the new floor, since that job is the floor's regression test.
  • 13 pubspecs + the root workspace + pubspec.lock. stream_chat is pure Dart and correctly carries no flutter constraint.
  • prefer_initializing_formals on ~29 previously-silent sites. Raising the Dart constraint raises each package's language version, and Dart 3.12 legalised this._privateField as a named parameter — so the lint's suggested fix only became expressible now. Zero violations before, ~29 after; none of it caused by the new stable, all of it by the floor. Applied via dart fix --apply --code=prefer_initializing_formals.
  • CHANGELOG bullet in all five packages (stream_chat's mentions the Dart SDK only).

Manual review of the dart fix pass

dart fix is mechanical, not thoughtful, so the refactor was re-audited against current master:

  • No doc comment was rewritten or deleted (git diff -- '*.dart' | grep -E "^[-+]\s*(///|//)" is empty — checking only added lines would miss deletions).
  • No public parameter renamed. Every introduced this._foo traces to a removed _foo = foo;. Assignments whose names differ or carry a default — _provider = tokenProvider, _locationProvider = locationProvider ?? LocationProvider() — were correctly left alone.

Testing

Check Result
dart analyze --fatal-infos, 7 packages @ 3.44.0 (new floor) clean
same @ 3.47.0 (what CI's analyze job resolves to) clean
dart format, 1004 tracked files, both toolchains 0 changed
stream_chat / _core / _persistence / _localizations tests 1624 / 362 / 302 / 23 passed
stream_chat_flutter goldens (CI=true) 40 failed — identical set to master

On the 40 golden failures: these are the pre-existing macOS-vs-Linux baseline (committed goldens are Linux-rendered). origin/master was bootstrapped in a throwaway worktree under the same 3.44.0 toolchain and the failure sets diffed — comm returns empty in both directions, 40 shared. Zero introduced, so no goldens were regenerated and update_goldens.yml was not dispatched. No .png is touched by this diff.

Not verified locally: the build (android) and build (ios) matrix jobs — this PR's own CI run is the check there. Since this is a floor raise and not a new-stable adoption, no Gradle/AGP/Kotlin/Xcode floors move.

Out of scope (pre-existing, noted for follow-up)

  • avoid_null_checks_in_equality_operators in the root analysis_options.yaml reports deprecated_lint on both 3.44 and 3.47. Pre-existing debt, not introduced here — but cheaper to delete now than to hit as a hard undefined_lint failure two releases later. Worth a small follow-up PR.
  • melos bootstrap strips a stale jni entry from two example generated_plugins.cmake files (dead since media_kit's removal in fix(ui): Removed mediakit dependency from sdk #2828). Confirmed pre-existing — master's CI is green — so it is deliberately left out of this PR.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ba116

The refactor changes constructor parameter names and removes an argument still used by current code, causing analyzer failures and breaking existing named-argument callers. These issues should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

xsahil03x and others added 2 commits August 17, 2026 11:19
Per the SDK's "minimum supported = latest stable - 1" policy, Flutter
3.47.0 shipping on 2026-08-12 makes 3.44.0 (Dart 3.12.0) the new floor.
Following #2721/#2108/#2068, a floor raise is not marked breaking:
existing code keeps compiling, older SDKs simply stop resolving the new
version, and the CHANGELOG bullet goes under Changed rather than
Breaking.

Moves the three version knobs that must stay in lockstep — melos.yaml
(source of truth), .fvmrc, and legacy_version_analyze.yml's
flutter_version — plus the 13 pubspecs melos propagates to.

Raising the Dart constraint also raises each package's language version,
which activated `prefer_initializing_formals` on previously-silent
sites: Dart 3.12 legalised `this._privateField` as a named parameter, so
the lint's suggested fix only became expressible now. Applied via
`dart fix --apply --code=prefer_initializing_formals`, verified by hand:

- No doc comment was rewritten or dropped by the refactor.
- Every introduced `this._foo` replaced a parameter named exactly `foo`,
  so no public call site changes. Assignments whose names differ or
  carry a default (`_provider = tokenProvider`, `_locationProvider =
  locationProvider ?? LocationProvider()`) were correctly left alone.

The rebase onto v10.3.0 renamed each CHANGELOG's 'Upcoming' heading to
'10.3.0', which silently moved the floor-raise bullets into an
already-released section. Git reported no conflict, because the release
edited line 1 while the bullets sit ~35 lines down.

Adds a fresh Upcoming section above 10.3.0 in all five packages and moves
the bullets into it. stream_chat keeps its 10.3.0 'Changed' section,
since the release's own dio bullet still lives there; the other four had
sections containing only the floor-raise bullet, so those are removed
rather than left empty.

Review follow-up on the three sites dart fix skipped, because their
private field and public parameter names differed or a default expression
was in the way.

Both SDK changes are non-breaking — the public parameter name is
unchanged, only the backing field is renamed:

- ChannelDeliveryReporter (exported): `_markAsDeliveredThrottleDuration`
  -> `_throttleDuration`, so the constructor takes
  `this._throttleDuration = const Duration(seconds: 1)`. Callers still
  write `throttleDuration:`, and the `[throttleDuration]` doc reference
  stays valid.
- TokenManager (internal, not exported): `_provider` -> `_tokenProvider`.
  Callers still write `tokenProvider:`. The unrelated local `provider`
  parameter of setTokenOrProvider is untouched.

SharedLocationService is sample-app only, where a break is acceptable.
`_locationProvider` could not become a formal while it defaulted to
`locationProvider ?? LocationProvider()` — LocationProvider is a factory
returning a singleton, so it is not const and cannot be a parameter
default. Made it `required` instead and passed it explicitly at the one
call site, which also removes a hidden singleton dependency.
