Proactive Flutter Hot Reload Rule

Whenever you edit or modify any .dart file in this project, adhere to the runtime management procedures in the flutter-app-runtime skill:

1. Refer to Skill:

   • Activate and follow the flutter-app-runtime skill workflows for Dart Tooling Daemon (dtd), hot reloading, hot restarting, and runtime error inspection.

2. Discover & Connect:

   • Discover active running application instances using the dtd tool (or list_running_apps / vm_service).

3. Trigger Hot Reload / Hot Restart:

   • Execute hot_reload immediately after making changes to UI widgets or simple methods.
   • Execute hot_restart if fundamental logic, stateful widgets or logic affecting variables that stateful widgets use, state initialization, or main() was modified.

4. Verify Runtime Stability:

   • Run get_runtime_errors via dart-mcp-server to confirm that the hot reload/restart did not introduce new exceptions.

5. Fallback Handling:

   • If no running app instance is connected via DTD, briefly inform the user, but do not let it stop you from completing the code edits.
