uhryniuk b781ee36a8 Rename v4 to ROADMAP
v4 was always just the server-dependent programme (group rides, accounts, paid backup) plus V3-17. Renaming it to ROADMAP since it's about to become the home for an incoming list of bugs and features that need triage ahead of the next v3-style ticket batch -- that triage takes priority over the existing server-dependent items, none of which are blocking.

# V3-04 — Live map on the recording screen
**Phase** Live map · **Depends on** nothing · **Size** M · **Status** Done
## Goal
While recording, show the path as it is drawn, on the recording screen.
## Context
v2 shipped without one deliberately: the phone rides in a pocket, so a live map would burn
battery for something nobody is looking at. **That decision is reversed** — Dylan wants it
for visual appeal, and because a mounted phone is now a real use case (V3-05).
The map component already exists (`RideMap`) and already handles per-segment polylines,
render-only decimation and the zoom clamp. This ticket is mostly about *lifecycle*, not
drawing.
## Design
Two constraints survive the reversal and are non-negotiable:
- **`RecordingEngine` must never reference a map.** Rendering belongs to a visible screen's
widget lifecycle. The engine already exposes everything needed.
- **No tile fetch or redraw while backgrounded.** A pocketed phone must cost exactly what
it costs today.
Feed the map from a stream of the current trip's points. `watchTripStats` exists but
returns aggregates; this needs the points themselves — add a `watchPointsForTrip` Drift
stream, which updates naturally on each writer flush (~2 s), not per fix.
Follow the rider: keep the latest point centred, with a manual-pan override that stops
auto-follow until re-enabled.
Behind the existing map toggle, off by default while it is unproven on battery.
## Implementation
1. `watchPointsForTrip(tripId)` in `AppDatabase`
2. Hoist the map above the stats card on the record screen, behind the toggle
3. `WidgetsBindingObserver` — on `AppLifecycleState.paused`, stop tile fetching; resume on
`resumed`. This is the load-bearing part.
4. Auto-follow with a pan override
5. Keep the numeric readout visible; the map must not push SPEED off screen (the record
screen already scrolls — see the overflow fix in `port/PROGRESS.md`)
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] The path appears and extends while recording
- [ ] Backgrounding the app stops all tile activity, verified in a network log
- [ ] `RecordingEngine` still has no map import — grep it
- [ ] With the toggle off, no map widget is constructed at all
- [ ] Speed and elapsed remain visible without scrolling on a common phone size
## Tests
- Widget: map appears only when recording and the toggle is on
- Widget: lifecycle transition to paused stops the tile layer
- The existing map tests still pass
## Risks
- **Battery.** This is the whole reason v2 said no. Measure before defaulting it on
(V3-13).
- Redrawing per fix rather than per flush would be wasteful; drive from the database
stream, which is already batched.
## Out of scope
Mounted mode (V3-05). Other riders on the map (ROADMAP).
## Outcome
Shipped as designed. `AppDatabase.watchPointsForTrip`/`watchSegmentsForTrip` feed two
`autoDispose.family` providers (`livePointsProvider`, `liveSegmentsProvider`) keyed by
trip id; a `_LiveMap` adapter widget on the record screen reads them and hands the result
to the existing `RideMap`, unchanged in shape. `RecordingEngine` was never touched —
verified by `test/architecture_test.dart`, which greps the source rather than trusting a
comment.
`RideMap` itself grew two small, general capabilities rather than a parallel "live"
widget: a `WidgetsBindingObserver` that drops the `TileLayer` entirely (not just visually,
via widget tree omission) outside `AppLifecycleState.resumed`, and an optional `follow`
flag that recentres on the latest point via `didUpdateWidget` + a post-frame
`MapController.move`, cancelled permanently by the first user-gesture pan. Both apply
to the trip-detail map too, which is a free win: a backgrounded detail screen no longer
holds tiles fetching either.
Three existing record-screen tests (`recording swaps to PAUSE and STOP`, `paused offers
RESUME`, `discard asks before destroying anything`) had to gain an explicit `map: false` —
they predate this ticket and would otherwise have started constructing a real
`FlutterMap`/`TileLayer` against an active trip, which is exactly the tile-fetch-in-tests
problem the trip-detail tests already route around.
3 new tests: the grep-based engine-purity check in `architecture_test.dart`, plus two in
`widget_test.dart` — map presence/absence by toggle and trip state, and the lifecycle
transition (paused drops `TileLayer` but keeps `PolylineLayer`; resumed brings it back),
driven via the standard `flutter/lifecycle` platform-message technique rather than a
private binding API. `flutter analyze` clean; full suite green (224 tests, up from 221).
