Tracks whether the current user has an active manual mark-unread on the channel that hasn't been read past yet, mirroring the iOS SDK's ReadStateHandler.isMarkedAsUnread. Set by markUnreadLocally and by a notification.mark_unread event for the current user; cleared by markReadLocally and by a message.read event for the current user. Intended for UI-layer gating that shouldn't immediately undo a manual mark-unread — used by stream_chat_flutter's tightened mark-read gating (FLU-640). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Gates the existing auto-scroll-to-first-unread positioning behind an opt-out flag on StreamChannel/StreamChannel.value, defaulting to true so existing integrations keep today's behavior unchanged. Set to false to always open a channel at the latest message instead, and let the message list surface pre-existing unread via its divider and jump-to-unread pill rather than by scrolling there automatically. Updates the sample app's channel route to demonstrate the flag. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
/649/650/640) Unread messages divider: anchored to the pre-existing read/unread boundary captured when the channel opens. The anchor is frozen for the whole session — it never moves or disappears, regardless of scrolling or reads — but its displayed count keeps counting up as further messages arrive during the session (mirroring WhatsApp) instead of staying fixed at the open-time total. Jump-to-unread pill (UnreadIndicatorButton): shows the frozen open-time count, gated on that boundary sitting above the viewport. Visible as soon as the count is known from the channel's Read state, even before the boundary message itself has loaded — tapping it before then falls back to loadChannelAtMessage via the boundary's lastReadMessageId. Dismisses permanently for the session on tap, the dismiss button, or scrolling past it; the button itself is now purely presentational, taking a required unreadCount instead of subscribing to read state internally. Scroll-to-bottom badge: counts only messages that arrive while scrolled away from the bottom (never seeded from the channel's unread count, unlike the divider above), and always resets to 0 once the user reaches the bottom. Mark-read gating (FLU-640): tightened to mirror iOS's shouldMarkChannelRead — besides isUpToDate and unreadCount > 0, now also requires the bottom to have been seen (now, or earlier then scrolled away), the pre-existing boundary (if any) to have been seen or scrolled past, and no active manual mark-unread (Channel.isMarkedAsUnread). That last check can't gate on the flag directly and permanently: it only clears via a successful mark-read, which is the very thing it would be gating, so it would deadlock the channel unread forever the moment it's set. Instead it latches once the viewport genuinely diverges from a snapshot taken when the mark-unread was first observed — captured eagerly on a live transition, or on the first laid-out frame as a fallback for a channel that simply mounts already marked unread. Adds StreamMessageListViewConfiguration.shouldMarkRead to override this gating entirely, and Translations.unreadMessagesSeparatorLabel (added rather than changing the existing unreadMessagesSeparatorText, to avoid breaking existing overrides) so the default separator can show a count. Also defaults MockChannelState.isMarkedAsUnread to false, since _handleItemPositionsChanged now reads it on every scroll tick and existing test files that construct the mock without stubbing it would otherwise crash.

`@packages/stream_chat_flutter/lib/src/message_list_view/mark_read_details.dart`:
- Around line 1-6: Update the mark-read type imports to use the package barrel
instead of direct src paths: in stream_message_list_view_configuration.dart,
import StreamMarkReadDetails and StreamShouldMarkReadPredicate from
package:stream_chat_flutter/stream_chat_flutter.dart, and in
mark_read_details.dart either route the StreamMessageListView and
StreamMessageListViewConfiguration.shouldMarkRead dartdoc references through the
barrel or change them to plain text so the docs no longer depend on src-only
symbols.
In
`@packages/stream_chat_flutter/lib/src/message_list_view/message_list_view.dart`:
- Around line 1105-1113: Move the `_hasSeenFirstUnread.value = true` assignment
in `_onUnreadPillJumpTap` to after the awaited `_scrollToMessage` call, and only
set it when that jump reports success. Preserve the early return for a missing
anchor and keep the unread pill visible when `_scrollToMessage` cannot scroll
because the target or controller is unavailable.
- Around line 1477-1482: Update the isScrolledPast calculation in the
unread-boundary logic to account for widget.config.reverse: retain the current
comparison for reversed lists and use the opposite index-direction comparison
when reverse is false. Preserve the existing isAnchorVisible and return behavior
so _hasSeenFirstUnread only advances after the user actually scrolls past the
anchor in either layout.
- Around line 1443-1454: The _checkMarkUnreadViewportDivergence method currently
compares full ItemPosition values, allowing fractional edge changes to falsely
signal viewport divergence. Update the comparison to use only visible item
indices, or otherwise base divergence on actual scroll activity, while
preserving the initial snapshot and existing _markUnreadViewportDiverged guard
behavior.
- Around line 586-589: Add `_showScrollToBottom.dispose()` to the state teardown
alongside the other notifier disposals, ensuring the ValueNotifier created for
the scroll-to-bottom widget is released when the widget unmounts.

Fixes the issues found by a two-reviewer pass over the PR. Blockers: - A second mark-unread while one was already active could not move the divider or the pill. The reset was gated on the `isMarkedAsUnread` transition, but that flag is only ever cleared by a mark-read, so the second action was silently swallowed. It now watches the read boundary (`lastRead` / `lastReadMessageId`), which still ignores plain arrivals. - A channel the user has never opened could never auto-mark-read again: its anchor only resolves once top pagination reaches the start of the channel. Channels with no boundary to reach are now exempt from that gate. Also: - Seed the marked-unread state from the channel on attach, so the `BehaviorSubject` replay isn't misread as a fresh mark-unread, and never snapshot an un-laid-out viewport — together these restore the mark-unread viewport guard and make its documented fallback reachable. - Don't paint the jump-to-unread pill before item positions are known; it used to flash for a frame on every channel opened at its first unread. - Honour the user-level `isReadReceiptsEnabled` in the badge/divider counting rule, matching `MessageRules.canCountAsUnread`. - Guard the pill's jump against a channel change during its awaited pagination, de-dupe mark-read attempts so a failing one isn't retried on every scroll tick, and stop the dismiss tap leaking a rejected future. - Scope the `unreadMessagesSeparatorLabel` compatibility claim to `extends`/`with` in the dartdoc and CHANGELOGs — `implements` does not inherit the fallback body — and render the new plurals through `Intl.plural`, matching the wording of the a11y sibling string. - Drop no-op `// ignore: deprecated_member_use` comments on overrides, and ticket ids from shipped comments. Tests: the two blockers and the mark-unread-on-mount case now have regression tests; the `onJumpTap` test taps the widget instead of calling the callback; the locale test asserts the count is rendered instead of `isNotNull` on a non-nullable String; adds coverage for `openAtFirstUnread` in both modes, the pill retiring at the boundary, no separator for messages arriving while open, and the restricted / read-receipts-off filters.

- Around line 1750-1760: Expose the local-unread-count rule from stream_chat
through a mockable getter or helper, then have the mark-read gate use it instead
of re-deriving the rule from channel.client and channel.canUseReadReceipts. In
packages/stream_chat_flutter/lib/src/message_list_view/message_list_view.dart:1750-1760,
replace the local usesLocalUnreadCount calculation with that shared API. In
packages/stream_chat_flutter/test/src/message_list_view/mark_read_test.dart:828-885,
explicitly stub channel.canUseReadReceipts so the test declares its required
precondition.

Cover the stale-channel fallback.
Lines 1111-1119 use an up-to-date channel. This only proves that no query occurs for an already current window. Add a test with isUpToDate set to false and openAtFirstUnread: false. Verify that the query has both around anchors set to null, which confirms that the widget loads the latest page instead of the unread boundary.

with mockChannel.state.isUpToDate set to false and openAtFirstUnread false;
verify mockChannel.query is called with both around anchors null, confirming the

rate_limiter Dart package 1.0.0 debounce leading implementation
💡 Result:
In the rate_limiter Dart package, you can implement a leading debounce by setting the leading parameter to true when creating or calling a debounced function [1][2]. By default, the debounce strategy is configured with leading: false and trailing: true [1]. Setting leading: true ensures that the provided function is invoked immediately on the leading edge of the wait interval [3][4]. You can implement this using either the top-level debounce function or the RateLimit extension on functions [1][2]. Example using the debounce function: final debouncedFunction = debounce( (String value) { print('Invoked with: $value'); }, const Duration(seconds: 2), leading: true, trailing: false, // Optional: set to false if you only want the leading invocation); Example using the RateLimit extension: void myFunction(String value) { print('Invoked with: $value'); } final debouncedFunction = myFunction.debounced( const Duration(seconds: 2), leading: true,); When both leading and trailing are set to true, the package will invoke the function on the leading edge, and will also invoke it on the trailing edge if the debounced function is called more than once during the specified wait interval [4].

Reset the gate only after the debounced callback executes.
_debouncedMarkMessagesAsRead() returns after scheduling .call(). With leading: true, later attempts within the one-second window are dropped, but lines 724–726 still clear the viewport gate. Move these resets into the callback, or reset them only when the debounced callback executes.
