The app still shipped under the identity of the DJI MSDK Flutter sample it
was started from, so every install, log line and crash report named a DJI
sample rather than PilotVault. Rename both namespaces:
Android com.dji.flutter.dji_msdk_sample -> com.pilotvault.flyapp
Dart dji_msdk_sample -> pilotvault_fly
The Kotlin sources move under com/pilotvault/flyapp to match. The manifest's
meta-data name stays com.dji.sdk.API_KEY — that string is fixed by the SDK's
own lookup and is not ours to rename.
A DJI App Key is bound to the application id, so the old key died with the
old id and a new one was registered against com.pilotvault.flyapp. That
forced the key to be touched anyway, so stop committing it: the Gradle
property becomes PILOTVAULT_FLY_API_KEY and now lives in the developer's
~/.gradle/gradle.properties, which Gradle merges into every build.
android/gradle.properties keeps the build flags — gitignoring it wholesale
would have taken useAndroidX and the Flutter migrator flags out of version
control with it — and documents where the key belongs.
A missing key prints a banner rather than silently baking the placeholder
into an APK that cannot register, which otherwise only surfaces as a
registration failure once the tablet is out at the aircraft. That warning
uses println because `flutter build` filters Gradle's warn-level output.
The rename means Android treats this as a new app: uninstall
com.dji.flutter.dji_msdk_sample before installing, or both will sit on the
tablet.

getSerialNumber() is a BaseComponent method, so every component answers for
itself — and the bridge reads it off the flight controller. A Mavic Pro reports
08RDE1J00103H1 (what DJI Go labels "Flight Controller SN") where the airframe
sticker, and the registration, say 08QDE3H012032E. We were publishing the former
as the drone's serial, onto records that exist to satisfy BEK 1649 §5.
Same trap as 002e484, where a component's own firmware stood in for the
aircraft's, but with no correct source to switch to: MSDK v4 exposes no
aircraft-level serial at all — BaseProduct offers only the model and the
firmware package version — so the registered serial can only be typed by hand.
So split the two rather than pick one:
serial the airframe's, hand-entered, and the only one that
reaches the logbook and the CSV export
flight_controller_serial what the aircraft reports; auto-filled on connect,
and what POST /api/drones/auto now upserts on
Keying auto-add on the flight controller's serial keeps the fleet recognising a
connected drone without typing — it is stable per airframe — while leaving the
compliance record's serial to the pilot. A flight controller swapped in a repair
now costs a duplicate fleet entry to merge, where before it would have quietly
rewritten what the logbook claimed the drone was.
Note droneInput.payload() is a whole-record write, so any UI editing a drone must
round-trip flightControllerSerial; blanking it forks the drone into a duplicate
on its next connect. Drones.vue carries it through the edit form for that reason.
The migration copies existing serials into flight_controller_serial rather than
moving them: every current value came from auto-add and is therefore a flight
controller's, but a pilot may since have corrected one by hand and this cannot
tell them apart. Copying keeps auto-add matching the airframes it matched before.
Applied to the remote PocketBase, where drones held no records, so the backfill
was a no-op there.

The fleet lived as a tab inside the Logbook, which buried it, and every
drone had to be typed in by hand — model, serial and firmware copied off
an airframe the app was already talking to.
Promote it to its own nav section above Logbook, and let a connecting
drone register itself. The Fly App already forwarded model, serial and
firmware upstream; the hub was keeping only the model. It now carries the
identity through to DeviceState, and the Web App offers it to a new
POST /api/drones/auto, which upserts keyed by serial. The auto path only
writes what the aircraft is authoritative about (model, both firmware
versions) and never touches what the pilot curates.
Serial and the firmware versions resolve on their own schedules after
connect — the serial in seconds, the aircraft firmware sometimes a minute
later — so nothing along the path treats an absent value as a cleared one,
and a later event filling firmware in still reaches the server. The auto
call rides every telemetry frame, so the client remembers the identity
tuple it last sent and only a change goes out; a 4xx is the server's
settled answer and is not retried, or one drone connected for an hour
would mean one request per frame for an hour.
New fields on drones: firmware, controller_firmware, and registration for
the FAA/CAA aircraft number — distinct from operator_number, which stays
the EU operator ID. Controller firmware is the remote controller's own
version, read from its component; the flight controller's version is a
different quantity and stays off this field (see 002e484). name becomes
optional and is now the pilot's custom name: auto-added drones arrive
unnamed, so the API serves a computed displayName (name, else model +
serial) for the fleet table, the flight picker and the CSV export. A
unique index on serial is what keeps the find-then-create path from
forking a drone's history across two records.
The schema is applied to the remote PocketBase; the migration is here for
fresh deployments, which the remote does not read.
Verified against a simulated device over the real socket with identity
resolving late: one record from four events, both firmware versions
filled, curated fields intact across re-registration, and a drone deleted
while connected coming back on the next frame.

Firmware was already half-wired: the bridge read
BaseProduct.getFirmwarePackageVersion() once, at connect. The SDK
returns null there until it has finished handshaking with the
aircraft, so the About panel almost always showed "-" instead. The
serial was never fetched at all.
Resolve both asynchronously after connect. fetchIdentity() reads the
serial from FlightController.getSerialNumber() and the firmware from
the product package version, falling back to the component-level
getFirmwareVersion() for aircraft that only report the latter. It
re-checks every 2s (max 6 attempts) and emits each value on a new
`identity` event as it lands, so the serial still appears when
firmware never resolves. Values are cached to answer getProductInfo
without re-fetching, and cleared on disconnect.
The SDK delivers lifecycle callbacks on arbitrary threads, so all
identity mutation hops onto the main thread, guarded by a generation
counter that strands retries queued for a product that has since
changed or dropped - otherwise a reconnect could race a stale chain
and report the previous aircraft.
Verified via flutter analyze and an APK build (which type-checks the
new MSDK calls). Runtime timing and the reported values still need a
physical aircraft.

Rebuild the Flutter/DJI-MSDK-V4 Fly App to the v2 UI kit and wire the
full SDK surface behind it.
Native (Kotlin): split DjiSdkBridge into a method/event router delegating
to per-subsystem SubBridge helpers sharing a BridgeCtx — FlightController
(takeoff/land/RTH + rich telemetry), Camera (mode/record/photo/exposure),
Gimbal, Mission (Waypoint + ActiveTrack; QuickShots via ActiveTrack
QUICK_SHOT), Media (MediaManager list/thumbnail/download), and optional
DJI account login. Manifest gains scoped media permissions.
Flutter: ten screens under lib/ui/ (Flight HUD, capture modes, camera
settings, settings menu, map+waypoints, home, album, academy, profile,
routes/flight logs), driven by an expanded FlightModel. New PVIcon renders
the kit's SVG paths via flutter_svg; map uses flutter_map + latlong2.
Pin transitive androidx.core/browser down to SDK-35-compatible versions
so the newer plugins don't force AGP 8.9.1 onto the DJI toolchain.
Verified with `flutter build apk --debug` (compiles Dart + all Kotlin);
runtime behaviour is untested here — it needs a physical DJI-connected
device.

Add API Server (Go/PocketBase), Web App (Go BFF + Vue), Fly App
(Flutter/DJI MSDK), Adobe Plugin, and Docker/Docker AIO deployment
configs. Design assets and build artifacts are gitignored.
