TallyFlow Scout Review (repo: tallyflow-assets-iot)

Product name: TallyFlow Scout
Package: tallyflow_scout
Version reviewed: 0.6.2+14 (master 0e37633, 2026-07-30)
Prior review: 0.5.3+10 (2c479fb, 2026-07-27)
Tech stack: Flutter (Material 3), flutter_hardware_scanner ^0.14 prerelease, camera barcode (ML Kit), sgtin (path), HTTP client to Edge

Role in platform

Handheld Collect / Verify / Locate app for TallyFlow Edge.
Not a replacement for TallyFlow Assets (tallyflow_mobile → Core).

Destinations

Collect (nav key still navUpdate in l10n → “Collect”) — scan list, submit to Edge remote reader API or export CSV
Verify — GS1 barcode identity vs RFID EPC encodings (gs1_verify_match); optional auto-confirm
Locate — offline seek-and-find / geiger (locate_screen, RSSI colors aligned with Assets pick-list palette); continuous hit indicator when any tags are in field

Delta since 0.5.3 (marketing-relevant)

Area	Change
Edge optional	Settings `useTallyFlowEdge` — when off, no health checks / submits; CSV & floor tools only (`edgeActive`)
Tag decode sheet	Tap row → GS1 EPC-96 / SDG RAIN CIN / barcode GS1 AIs; RFID can open Locate
Collect list	Overflow menu: clear list; sort by value or RSSI (plus default recent)
Locate UX	Hit counter/lamp stays visible while tags are in the field (not only focused finds)
Audio	`RfidBeepGate` serializes driver beep vs Locate geiger mute
Decode/filter	SDG RAIN CIN filter fixed (`D3C4C753` EPC prefix)
Branding	Simpler app icon / splash assets
Settings UX	Sheet height capped (~80%); shorter help copy
Hardware	Stronger URFID vs ATID AAR conflict handling note in tree

Integration

Client: lib/services/tallyflow_iot_client.dart → {baseUrl}/api/v1/health, /reader/barcode, /reader/rfid
Remote reader must exist on Edge (type = remote, enabled); reader name must match Settings
Offline / Edge-off: Collect + CSV + Locate without server; banner only when Edge enabled and unreachable / unconfigured

Hardware

Android industrial devices via hardware scanner plugin (XR2, ATID AARs, SEUIC, URFID noted in tree)
Camera barcode fallback when no hardware scanner / init failure
Desktop: simulator always on
applicationId: com.tallyflow.scout

Notable modules

tag_decode_sheet.dart — decode UI + TagDecodeDetails.resolveRfid / resolveBarcode
epc_mask.dart, sdg_rain_decode.dart — EPC type / Internal part decode (CIN filter fix)
rfid_beep_gate.dart — Locate mute vs inventory beep
scan_csv_exporter.dart / scan_csv_export.dart — CSV share/save
rssi_display.dart — shared RSSI presentation
l10n — English + Spanish
Tests: EPC mask, GS1 verify, locate finds, CSV, symbology, tag decode, useTallyFlowEdge, rfid beep gate, power slider

Marketing guardrails

Say Scout works with Edge; Assets works with Core
Three sections only: Collect, Verify, Locate
Locate offline + optional Edge-off are real differentiators for floor find without Core
Decode sheet is operator convenience, not a full GS1 stack / compliance product
Do not claim full asset CRUD, zones, or scan-and-print in Scout

Follow-ups (docs/code debt)

Repo README still under-lists Verify / decode / Edge toggle; version footer stale
part_serial assignment-match flags currently unused by decode path (reserved)
Cross-app symbology story still open (README technical debt section)
