refactor(llc): split channel.dart into focused files - #2930

Description of the pull request
Groundwork for FLU-481, which asks for two things as a first step: move responsibilities out of
Channelwhile keeping the public API unchanged, and move state out ofchannel.dart. This does the second, with zero public API change.channel.dartdeclared five top-level things, four of which had nothing to do with theChannelclass itself. They move into a newsrc/client/channel/directory, whichchannel.dartitself joins:channel/channel.dartclass Channeland nothing elsechannel/channel_client_state.dartclass ChannelClientState+ the private_pinIsValid(used only by it)channel/channel_capability_check.dartextension ChannelCapabilityCheck on Channelchannel/channel_read_helper.dartextension ChannelReadHelper on ChannelClientStatechannel.dart: 4,896 → 2,468 lines.channel_delivery_reporter.dartandretry_queue.dartstay atsrc/client/— they exist onmaster, so moving them would be a rename with the cost described below, for no benefit here.Cost of moving
channel.dart, and why it is acceptedMoving
channel.dartis not a breaking change:lib/src/is package-private by Dart convention, this repo enables theimplementation_importslint, and the barrel's exported namespace is unchanged (proven below). But it does have one real, measured cost.Because this PR also cuts
channel.dartfrom 4,896 to 2,468 lines, the file is only ~50% similar to itsmastercounterpart — right at git's default rename-detection threshold. Verified empirically:git diff-tree -Mreportsdelete mode+create mode, not a rename. So for an open PR that modifieschannel.dart, merging this produces a modify/delete conflict.Measured against the three open PRs that touch it:
channel.dartChannelclassOnly #2847 is newly affected — its 15 lines merge cleanly today and will now need hand-re-applying. #2863 and #2871 already have to be re-derived regardless, because their hunks land inside the block that moved to
channel_client_state.dart.Why this is not a breaking change
The four names are exported from the public barrel directly, alongside every other public type in the package:
Before,
channel.dartdeclared exactly four public names:Channel,ChannelClientState,ChannelReadHelper,ChannelCapabilityCheck, and the barrel exported that one file. Now the barrel exports four files declaring the same four names. A consumer importingpackage:stream_chat/stream_chat.dartcannot tell the difference —show,hide, prefixes, implicit extension application and explicit extension application all resolve identically either way.An earlier revision instead had
channel.dartre-export the three new files, so that a deeppackage:stream_chat/src/client/channel.dartimport kept resolving all four. That became pointless oncechannel.dartitself moved intochannel/, so the re-export block is gone and the barrel is now the single explicit list of public API.Verified with a probe that imports only the barrel — no deep imports — and exercises:
channel.canSendMessage) and explicit extension application (ChannelCapabilityCheck(channel).canSendReply,ChannelReadHelper(state).readsOf(...))ChannelClientStatein type positions: local,List<>, typedef, and a hand-writtenimplementsmockusesLocalUnreadCount, the one moved line whose body changedIt analyzes clean under
--fatal-infos. Downstream,stream_chat_flutter,stream_chat_flutter_coreandstream_chat_persistenceall analyze clean against the new barrel, and their suites pass (362 and 302 respectively).Negative control confirms the barrel exports are load-bearing rather than incidentally redundant: with the three stripped, the probe fails with 9 errors; restored, 0.
One internal file did depend on the old re-export and the analyzer caught it:
core/util/message_rules.dartdeep-importschannel.dartand uses the capability extension, so it now importschannel/channel_capability_check.dartexplicitly.The one API addition
Moving the state class out of the library broke 25 private cross-accesses that only compiled because both classes shared a file. All were fixed by requalifying onto existing public equivalents:
state!._channelState→state!.channelState— the private getter was a byte-identical duplicate of the public one (=> _channelStateController.value), so this is a compiler-verified renamestate?._retryQueue.add([msg])→state?.scheduleRetry(msg)_channel._client/_client→ the publicclientgetter, which returns the same fieldThat leaves exactly one API delta:
@internal ChannelClientState.scheduleRetry(Message), whose body is the identical_retryQueue.add([message]).It is unavoidable —
Channelis the caller, so injection isn't available, and the only public alternative,retryFailedMessages(), is argument-less and rescans state, so it can't carry a specific message. It is also the mildest possible form of addition:implementswith every member spelled out, which is a routine minor-version change in this SDK.@internalkeeps it out of the documented surface: external callers getinvalid_use_of_internal_member, a warning, not an error.ClientState— the barrel-exported sibling class — already carries six@internalmembers for exactly this purpose, so this is the established pattern rather than a new one.implements+noSuchMethodand mocktail'sextends Mock implementsboth compile clean (covered by the matrix above).Test suite mirrors the split
channel_test.dart12,356 → 6,687, with the groups that exercise the moved code relocated to files matching the new sources:channel_client_state_test.dart(5,124),channel_capability_check_test.dart(410),channel_read_helper_test.dart(319). Which groups moved was decided by measuring each group's state-vs-channel orientation; genuinely mixed groups were left whole rather than split internally. Each new file carries a private copy of the two fixtures it used frommain(), aschannel_delivery_reporter_test.dartalready does.Measuring the extracted capability suite in isolation also exposed three members that only ever had incidental coverage from elsewhere in the package, so they gain direct tests (+8):
usesLocalUnreadCount— the fullisLocalUnreadCountEnabled× read-receipts matrix. Previously reached only viaChannel.markRead, and it is also the one line of moved code that changed, so it was the riskiest thing here and had no direct test.canUseDeliveryReceipts— absent from the parameterized capability list entirely.canUseReadReceipts— covered only through its deprecated aliascanReceiveReadEvents, so coverage would have silently vanished when that alias is removed.Both new source files are now at 100% line coverage from their own suites, and the parameterized entries follow declaration order.
Merged up to
master(c66577890)mastermoved three commits intochannel.dartafter this branch was cut, two of which land inside the block that moved out — exactly the changes a hand-resolved conflict would drop silently. Rather than resolve the conflict by hand, the split was regenerated frommaster'schannel.dart: the file was re-sliced at the same four declaration boundaries and only the requalifications listed above were reapplied, each under an exact-occurrence-count assertion so any drift would abort rather than mis-patch.What that carried into
