docs(repo): track workarounds blocked on a Flutter release - #2915
Conversation
Adds FLUTTER_BLOCKED.md, a registry of workarounds that exist only because an upstream Flutter fix has not shipped, each with the release that makes it removable and how to verify that release actually carries the fix. Wires it into the two places it has to be read to be useful: a rule in STYLE_GUIDE.md pairing each row with a `TODO(flutter)` tag at the code site, and a sweep step in the flutter-version-bump skill's floor raise, which previously did not mention TODOs at all.

…istry Reading it with a single entry left it ambiguous whether the file was per-workaround. States that it is the single registry for the monorepo, and adds an "Adding an entry" section covering the four questions a section has to answer and the fact that removed entries are deleted rather than archived.

68 lines and 559 words for one entry, most of it restating the cause and history already in FLU-710, PR #2909, and the code comment. Now 19 lines: fixed labelled fields per entry, so a human scans the bold labels and an agent can match them, with the H2 headings acting as the index instead of a table that duplicated every field below it.

Search all Dart source files for TODO(flutter) tags. The registry applies to the repository, but both commands exclude valid Dart source locations outside the listed directories. A workaround in an excluded location can remain after its fix is included in the minimum Flutter version.

Description of the pull request
Implements @renefloor's review suggestion on #2909:
Three pieces, because a file nobody is required to read does not help:
FLUTTER_BLOCKED.md— the registry. A scan table plus a detail section per entry: the symptom without the workaround, the cause, the upstream issue and fix PR, the release that makes it removable, how to verify that release actually carries the fix, and how to verify the removal. It also records what must not be deleted alongside each workaround.STYLE_GUIDE.md— one paragraph in the TODO section pairing every row with a// TODO(flutter):tag at the code site. The tag isn't redundant with the file: it meansgrep -rn 'TODO(flutter)'still finds every site if the file falls behind, so a stale registry can't silently hide one. The existingTODO(perf-migration)precedent already sanctions category tags..claude/skills/flutter-version-bump/SKILL.md— a sweep step in the Track B floor raise, which previously did not mention TODOs at all. This is the part that delivers the actual goal: under the latest−1 policy every Flutter stable triggers a floor raise, so that step is a guaranteed moment when the registry gets read. It also insists on confirming the fix really shipped before deleting anything, since the recorded version is a prediction and upstream fixes slip.One entry today
SelectionAreakeyed onBrowserContextMenu.enabled— the workaround from #2909, removable at Flutter 3.48 (expected, unconfirmed:git tag --contains 2a469b8is still empty as of 3.47.1).Of the 17
TODOs across all packages'lib/, that is the only Flutter-version-dependent one; the rest are blocked on the backend, on our own refactors, or on unrelated features.Merge order
Merge after #2909. The registry's only entry describes the workaround and the
TODO(flutter)tag that #2909 introduces, so this reads as documenting nothing until that lands.How this was tested
Documentation and skill content only — no package code, so no changelog entry and nothing for the test suites to exercise. Verified the referenced paths exist (
stream_message_text.dart,context_menu_region.dart, the skill's Track B section) and that thegrep -rn 'TODO(flutter)'command in both the file and the skill returns the one expected site.Screenshots / Videos
Not applicable — no UI change.
