The previous commit left the car screen half translated: its tab labels went
through t(), and everything underneath them did not. A Polish user opening a
car got translated tabs over English tiles, English forms and English
dialogs, which is worse than either extreme because it reads as a bug rather
than as a missing translation.
So the whole screen and everything it opens now reads from the language
files: the record tiles, the share and delete-car dialogs, the service and
part sheets it hosts, record_form_sheets.dart, car_form_sheet.dart, and the
attachment field whose buttons surface inside all of them.
Almost none of these strings are new. The Web App has said all of this in
three languages since b6bb6b1, so forms.*, enums.*, attachment.* and errors.*
are copied out of its language files the same way car.* was, and Polish and
Danish arrive complete. What is written here is only what the phone alone
needs, and the categories are worth naming because they are the reason the
two apps' files are not identical: tooltips, because the web labels its
buttons; the tiles' running prose, because the web lays the same data out as
table columns; client-side validation, because the web leans on the browser's
`required`; and the snackbars.
Three things changed shape rather than just wording.
The per-record delete prompts were one template with a noun slotted in -
"Delete this $what?" - which does not survive translation into a language
that inflects the noun. Each collection now names its own confirmation
string, which is what the web already had.
The delete-car dialog counted with a hand-rolled `"$n $noun${n == 1 ? '' :
's'}"`. Polish has three plural forms, so that could not be translated at
all; it now goes through the CLDR plurals in car.delete.*. It also only ever
named service records and parts, while the cascade takes maintenance, fuel,
charges and documents too - the translated body names all six, so it is now
passed the whole data set rather than two counts.
The enum labels (fuel types, maintenance type/status, document and reminder
types) were four const maps duplicated between the tiles and the pickers.
They are one lookup against enums.* now, with an unknown value falling back
to the raw key rather than a blank - the server owns that enum, and a value
added there should stay legible in an app that has not caught up.
Found and fixed while testing: the view picker rendered the literal string
"car.tabs.provider" as a row label on an unlinked car. That key does not
exist by design - a linked car's tab is named after the service, an unlinked
one falls back to car.tabs.connected - and the picker was the one caller that
did not know it.
Verified by flutter analyze (clean), flutter test - 19 pass, 7 of them new -
and flutter build apk --debug. The new tests cover what the analyzer cannot
see: the lookups built from a key at render time (car.tabs.$key,
enums.fuelType.$v, the delete dialog's plural counts, the connected service's
readings) are checked to have a real label in all three languages, so a
catalogue entry with no translation fails a test instead of reaching a screen
as a raw key path. That is the check that caught the bug above. A one-off
script also confirmed all 550 static t() keys resolve in en.json.
Not verified: still nothing run against a live API Server or on a device.
Known gaps, deliberately left: admin_users_screen.dart is still English, and
settings.integrations.* / charging.control.* exist in en.json only. The
second one is not the phone's alone - the Web App has exactly the same gap,
so translating that OCPP and connector vocabulary belongs to both apps in one
pass rather than letting the phone run ahead of the app the strings are
copied from. Both are now recorded in TRANSLATIONS.md, which had claimed the
car screen as untranslated and the web app as complete.

DriverVault
A car control & service-tracking system (originally "Car Control Project").
Built incrementally — starting with a car maintenance tracker (modeled on
Car Service.xlsx) and growing toward live integration with the car via a
cellular ESP32 device and third-party services (Toyota Connected, EV chargers).
Architecture
All clients communicate with the database only through the API Server — nothing talks to PocketBase directly.

The Web and Phone apps are at feature parity.
Features
- Maintenance tracking — cars, service history (date/odometer + which parts were changed), and a per-car parts catalog, with next-due date/km status from the spreadsheet formulas.
- Technical checks — the mandatory roadworthiness inspections (przegląd techniczny / MOT / TÜV): result, cost, station and the certificate's valid-until, which overrides the car's interval and drives the next-due date.
- Maintenance log — workshop visits and repairs outside the routine schedule: type/status, workshop, parts used, labour + parts cost, invoice, warranty-until.
- Fuel tracking — refills with derived efficiency (average / best / worst consumption, cost per km, price per litre). Consumption is measured between full tanks, so partial fills roll into the next full one.
- Documents — insurance, registration, road tax and the rest, each with a server-computed renewal/expiry state.
- Reminders — date- and/or odometer-triggered, one-off or recurring, plus read-only reminders the server derives from documents and service records.
- Attachments — one optional file (PDF or image) per service record, technical check, maintenance entry, refill, document and part; fetched back through the API Server, never a public URL.
- Accounts — PocketBase-token login, profile + appearance preferences (theme/locale/date format/currency/font), avatar, email verification, data export/import, and an account-deletion state machine.
- Organizations & roles — multi-tenant
user/admin/superadminroles; admins manage users within their own organization, superadmins span all. Any user without an organization can create one and becomes its admin. - Per-user ownership & sharing — each car has an owner and can be shared with other users as read or write; the UI mirrors the server's access checks.
- Integrations — per-user connectors under a superadmin → org-admin → user cascade. Built-in today: Toyota Connected (read-only vehicle data) and the Anker Solix V1 EV charger.
- Cars from the manufacturer's own service — import a car straight off a connected account (MyToyota today), choosing what to pull in, and read everything that service knows about it from a dedicated first tab on the car. Generic over providers: the next manufacturer is one adapter in the API Server.
- EV charging control — for Anker Solix chargers the API Server runs an OCPP 1.6J Central System; in own/proxy mode the charger dials back in and the owner can start/stop and set limits from the Charging screen.
- Translated UI — the interface reads its text from per-language files (English, Polish, Danish today), with English as the fallback for any untranslated string. See TRANSLATIONS.md.
- Phone biometric login & app lock — fingerprint / face sign-in with an app-lock that requires an unlock on relaunch. See the Phone App README.
Auth model
All apps share one auth model: authentication is PocketBase's own.
POST /api/auth/login is proxied to the PocketBase users collection and the
client keeps the token PocketBase minted — the API Server does not issue its
own JWT. Every protected request carries Authorization: <token> (both
Bearer <token> and a raw token are accepted) and the server re-resolves it
against PocketBase on each call, so a role change or a deletion takes effect
immediately. Tokens are stateless, so there is no per-device session list;
changing an account's password rotates its token key and invalidates every token
already issued. Access to cars/records is gated by per-user ownership and shares;
user management requires the admin or superadmin role. Creating an organization
is the one management action open to a plain user — it promotes them to admin of
the organization they just created.
Domain (from Car Service.xlsx)
- Cars — one per vehicle (was: one spreadsheet sheet), with spec fields (engine / transmission / differential oil, brake fluid, coolant, VIN, fuel type, build / first-registration dates, …) and configurable service intervals.
- Service records — date + odometer per service, plus which parts were changed (oil & oil filter, engine air filter, cabin air filter).
- Parts — per-car catalog of part numbers.
Key spreadsheet formulas, reproduced by the API Server on read:
Next Service Date = service date + serviceIntervalDays (default 365; Excel: =A+365)
Next Service Km = service km + serviceIntervalKm (default 15 000; Excel: =B+15000)
Intervals are configurable per car.
Getting started
Bring up the stack in this order — each app's README has the details:
- API Server — configure
.env, runsetup-pocketbase.mjs, start the server. This must be running for either app. - Web App —
npm install && npm run dev(proxies/apito the server). - Phone App —
flutter build apk/flutter runwith--dart-define=API_BASE=http://<server-ip>:8080/api.
Or skip all of that and bring the whole stack up with Docker, which runs the schema setup itself — see Docker (PocketBase + API Server + Web App as three containers) or Docker-AIO (all three in a single image).
