FlockGuard v0.6.0 — Stability & Insights Update
This release focuses on fixing critical blockers, improving performance, and making the app feel more reliable and intentional. The core report flow is now stable, faster, and easier to understand.
- The Bingo module has been removed and is now being developed as a standalone application to keep FlockGuard focused and performant.
✨ New Features
📊 Report Analytics Modal
Reports are no longer just list items.
Tap any report to open a detailed, theme-aware modal showing:
- Full AI analysis
- Captured image (served directly from Cloudinary)
- Clear, readable report context
🔄 Manual Service Restart (AI / Backend)
Added a “Restart AI” control in the header.
Users can now manually wake up backend and ML services without restarting the app.
Useful for:
- Cold-start delays
- Server sleep states
- Camera-dependent actions
🩺 Global Service Health Monitoring
Introduced a background Health Context that silently tracks backend and ML availability.
Results:
- Camera and report creation only activate when services are ready
- Fewer failed actions
- No more guessing whether the server is alive
🎨 UI / UX Improvements
⚡ Zero-Latency Navigation
Removed the blocking loader when opening Farm Details.
The app now uses cached data first, giving an instant UI response with background sync.
📷 Status-Aware Camera Action
The floating camera button now reacts to:
- Service availability
- Processing state
Clear visual feedback instead of silent failures.
🧠 Technical Improvements
-
Fixed multipart image uploads using proper FormData handling
(resolved “Empty Body” / network errors during report creation) -
Centralized API layer for consistent request handling
-
Cache-first data strategy for farm and report history
(offline-friendly and faster UX)
