From the owner's TODO.org review of the shipped features:
- Crop calendar now says the months are YOUR notes: a hint line in the
editor (cropCalendar.editorHint) and a caption under the 'this month'
screen (calendar.selfNote) — it read as if the app knew when to sow.
- Dropped the 'how much I have' (abundance) input + display: it competed
with the lot quantity as a second 'how much'. Removed from the lot sheet
and the lot summary; the DB column + backup/CSV/catalog plumbing stay
dormant (no destructive migration). offer_status carries 'do I share'.
- Seed-saving guidance moved into a collapsed expander (detail.seedSaving)
— reference facts about the species shouldn't sit open among the
grower's own records; opt-in depth, per progressive disclosure.
- Condition checks already live behind the collapsed 'advanced' expander
(seed lots only) — left as the discreet power-user surface.
Tests: dropped the obsolete abundance→share nudge test; the seed-saving
section test now expands before asserting. analyze clean; suites green.
Record where the guidance comes from (copyright/attribution) and make
clear it is general, not local gospel — kept light:
- seed_saving.json gains a top-level sources list (Seed to Seed / Seed
Savers Exchange / Organic Seed Alliance); parsed into
SeedSavingData.sources, exposed via SeedSavingCatalog.sources.
- The detail section shows a small muted footer: an italic 'advisory —
adapt to your climate' line plus a 'Source: …' credit.
- i18n seedSaving.advisory + sourcePrefix (en/es/pt/ast).
- Tests: asset carries sources; the section renders advisory + credit.
A bundled, curated knowledge layer — the differentiator of a serious
seed app. For a variety's crop it shows how the plant reproduces and what
it takes to keep the variety true: life cycle, pollination (self/cross +
insect/wind), isolation distance, how many plants to save from, dry/wet
processing, a difficulty pill, and a short tip — all in human words.
- assets/catalog/seed_saving.json: curated public-domain data (Seed to
Seed / Seed Savers), keyed by botanical FAMILY (defaults) with
per-species/genus OVERRIDES that win — so e.g. Vicia faba is correctly
insect-cross-pollinated despite the selfing Fabaceae default, and maize
is wind-pollinated with a large population. Notes are locale-keyed
(es/en), extensible to any language — a starter set, not a ceiling.
- domain/seed_saving.dart (pure): enums + SeedSavingGuide (merge, note
fallback) + SeedSavingData.guideFor (species → genus → family).
- data/seed_saving_catalog.dart: loads the asset once into an in-memory
singleton (no DB table, no migration); injector loads it at startup.
- VarietyDetail gains (from the linked species — the reliable
key, vs the editable category); detail screen shows a _SeedSavingView
when a guide resolves.
- i18n seedSaving block (labels + enum values + params) in en/es/pt/ast.
- Tests: domain lookup/merge, the real asset's key corrections, and the
detail section shows/hides. 314 suite tests green; analyze clean.
