The patcher's worst failure mode is not crashing — it is reporting success while doing nothing. Flutter 3.47.0 moved the #182400 call site one nesting level deeper, so the literal-with-indentation anchor missed and the script printed "[182400] already patched" against a completely unpatched file. The bug then resurfaces as hundreds of lines of SkSL noise on someone's next macOS build, with nothing pointing back here. Both fixes now match indentation-insensitively, and "anchor absent" is a distinct hard failure (non-zero exit naming the site that moved) rather than being folded into "already patched". A renamed #188060 struct is likewise reported by name — silently skipping it lets the tree-shaker drop it and macOS --release crashes with "illegal cid, full-aot". The two fixes moved into a single python pass, so exit-code and snapshot-invalidation decisions live in one place. app/test/patch_flutter_sdk_test.dart pins the 3.44.9 and 3.47.0 call sites as fixtures, so the next bump fails a test instead of a build. FLUTTER-BUMP-HANDOUT.md records the 3.47.0 evaluation (§11): cooldown window, the macOS 12.0 deployment-target decision, 6 SDK-forced package bumps, 5 anti-aliasing-only goldens. Also corrects two claims measured to be wrong — the §5 patch is per-SDK, not per-worktree, and the loading-stage flake count is not reproducible run-to-run, so only the non-loading count (0) is a usable signal.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe patch script now applies shader and AOT Flutter SDK fixes in one Python pass. It validates missing files, anchors, and structs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The patcher now fails loudly when Flutter anchors move, but the PR still has merge-readiness gaps: tests do not fully verify key failure diagnostics, and the updated handout contains a markdown-lint error, stale SDK path guidance, and incomplete landing instructions.

- Around line 242-250: Update the test named “fails when the SDK does not have
the expected files” to assert that the failure output specifically identifies
the deleted shader_compiler.dart file, while retaining the non-zero exit
assertion.
- Around line 151-157: Update the test around run() to retain its ProcessResult
and assert successful execution before checking shaderFile contents. Ensure the
exit status is validated so the warning assertion cannot pass when the patch
script fails without rewriting the fixture.
In `@docs/FLUTTER-BUMP-HANDOUT.md`:
- Line 434: Update the line beginning with “#188060” in the Markdown document so
the issue reference does not start as an improperly formatted heading; prefix
the issue number with descriptive text or escape the hash while preserving the
existing sentence.
- Around line 456-459: Update the documented staging instructions following the
golden test command to include all five generated golden image paths, AGENTS.md,
and BUILD_AND_DEPLOY.md, or add an explicit verification step that confirms
these required artifacts are staged before committing.

Review catch, and both were the same class of bug the script itself had: a check that passes without proving anything. - "keeps the concise one-line warning" discarded the ProcessResult. A script that died before touching the fixture leaves the warning in place, so the test passed for exactly the reason it exists to rule out. Now asserts exit 0 and the [182400] marker, proving the warning survived a patch that actually ran. - The missing-file test accepted any non-zero exit, which is also what a typo in the script looks like. Now asserts the diagnostic names the absent file, and covers _window_macos.dart too — only one of read()'s two call sites was exercised. Both verified by mutation: stripping the filename from the diagnostic fails the layout tests, renaming the [182400] marker fails the warning test. Docs: the §11 landing block staged neither the goldens nor the two root-level docs it tells you to update. Adds the five expected golden paths plus a `git status` check that no sixth moved — a sixth means layout moved, not anti-aliasing, which breaks the "cosmetic only" finding, and `git add test/` would hide it. AGENTS.md and BUILD_AND_DEPLOY.md need a root-anchored `:/` pathspec because that block runs from app/; verified that plain `git add AGENTS.md` fails there. Also un-ambiguates a line opening with a bare `#188060`.

Problem
app/tool/patch_flutter_sdk.shpatches two upstream Flutter bugs in place before we build (FLUTTER-BUMP-HANDOUT.md§5). Its worst failure mode is not crashing — it is reporting success while doing nothing.Flutter 3.47.0 moved the #182400 call site one nesting level deeper. The old anchor was a literal string that included leading indentation, so it missed — and the script printed
[182400] already patchedagainst a completely unpatched file. The symptom then arrives days later as hundreds of lines of SkSL compiler noise on someone's macOS build, with nothing pointing back at the patcher.The #188060 half had the same shape of hole: a struct upstream renamed would just be skipped, folded into the "already patched" count. That one is worse than noise — the tree-shaker drops the struct and
flutter build macos --releasecrashes at launch withillegal cid, full-aot.Fix
impellerc failure:sites are real errors and keep shouting — asserted by test.flutter_toolssnapshot-invalidation decisions now live in one place instead of being split across bash and two heredocs.app/test/patch_flutter_sdk_test.dart(new, 9 tests) runs the real script against fixture SDK trees and pins the 3.44.9 and 3.47.0 call sites as fixtures, plus a plausible future refactor where the warning is gone. So the next SDK bump fails a fast test instead of a macOS build. Every case asserts a distinguishable report — idempotent re-runs, renamed structs, and vanished anchors can no longer print the same thing.Docs
docs/FLUTTER-BUMP-HANDOUT.mdgains §11: the full 3.47.0 evaluation (not landed — it clears the repo's 3-day cooldown on 2026-08-15). Recorded there because each item is a decision someone would otherwise rediscover:flutter build macosmigrates silently. That is dropping macOS 11 and earlier — a product decision wearing the costume of a build artifact. Accepted, with the note that the app's minimum OS is currently documented nowhere exceptproject.pbxproj.--enforce-lockfilefails until the lockfile is regenerated (unlike the 3.44.x bumps).git worktreeof the existing clone: ~1.5 GB instead of ~4 GB.Two earlier claims are corrected because measurement contradicted them: the §5 patch is applied per SDK, not per worktree (one run covers every worktree — §6/§7 implied otherwise and only invented work), and the whole-suite loading-stage flake count is not reproducible run-to-run, so the only usable signal is the non-loading count being 0. The post-merge SDK cleanup is also now marked done, with a note that it sat undone for four days while local builds ran 3.44.4 against CI's 3.44.9.
Testing
flutter test test/patch_flutter_sdk_test.dart— 9/9 pass.flutter analyze— clean on the new test.bash app/tool/patch_flutter_sdk.shagainst the real shared 3.44.9 SDK — correct no-op (patched 0 class(es); 5 already patched,[182400] already patched, exit 0). This is the case the old script got right; the tests cover the ones it got wrong.No production app code changes — build tooling, its tests, and docs only.
Note

Note
Low Risk
Changes are limited to local SDK patching tooling, its tests, and docs; stricter non-zero exits may surface previously hidden patch misses during macOS builds or manual bump steps, which is intentional.
Overview
Fixes a silent false success in
app/tool/patch_flutter_sdk.sh: after Flutter 3.47.0 nested the #182400 SkSL call site deeper, the old literal anchor missed and the script could print[182400] already patchedon an unpatched SDK.Patcher behavior is consolidated into one embedded Python pass (bash only resolves
FLUTTER_ROOT). Both upstream workarounds (#188060 windowing structs, #182400 SkSL stderr) now use indentation-insensitive anchors; missing SDK files, vanished call sites, or renamed structs are hard failures (non-zero exit, named errors) instead of warnings or folded “already patched” counts. The #188060 path reports missing struct names explicitly; #182400 still downgrades only the dump after the Skia warning and invalidatesflutter_toolssnapshots when it applies a change.Adds
app/test/patch_flutter_sdk_test.dart(nine cases) that runs the real script against temp fixture SDK trees, including 3.44.9 vs 3.47.0 shader layouts, idempotency, and failure messaging.docs/FLUTTER-BUMP-HANDOUT.mdrecords post-merge SDK cleanup, corrects §5 patch scope (per-SDK, not per-worktree) and §9 test-flake guidance, adds §11’s 3.47.0 evaluation checklist (not landed), and warns not to trust patcher stdout without reading it.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 6f9ab51.
