- Line 226: Update the test assertion for CommandCatalog.buildCommand to require
an ArgumentError by replacing the broad throwsA(anything) matcher with
throwsA(isA<ArgumentError>()), while preserving the surrounding validation test.
In `@mcp_toolkit/lib/src/services/semantic_snapshot_service.dart`:
- Line 336: Update the cached reference selection in the subtree lookup around
_lastRefMap[subtreeOf] to use the cached node only when _isWithin(refRoot,
_currentRootNode()) is true; otherwise fall back to identifier resolution and
ultimately return subtree_root_not_found. Add a widget regression test covering
a node removed after the prior snapshot but still referenced by its old ref.
- Line 18: Replace SemanticSnapshotFilter and its toMap() with the
repository-standard const extension-type JSON model, using a private constructor
and providing empty, fromJson, and toJson helpers. Preserve the existing
serialized keys and update OnSemanticSnapshotEntry usage to call toJson while
retaining the current response shape.
In `@mcp_toolkit/lib/src/toolkits/interaction_toolkit.dart`:
- Line 836: Update _nonEmptyString to check whether the trimmed input is empty
but return the original supplied string when non-blank, preserving leading and
trailing whitespace for identifierPrefix and subtreeOf values consumed by
SemanticSnapshotFilter.
In `@plugin/skills/flutter-mcp-toolkit-control/SKILL.md`:
- Line 22: Update the selector documentation near semantic_snapshot to state
that fields only controls returned properties and does not narrow the node set;
document only fields accepted by semanticSnapshotNodeFields, removing
unsupported tooltip, key, and flags entries. Regenerate
mcp_server_dart/lib/src/skill_assets.g.dart from the updated source
documentation.

…ree and fields A snapshot of a busy screen repeated the viewport rectangle on every one of its nodes and offered no way to ask for less than the whole tree. The viewport is now stated once, in the envelope (a single-ref visibility answer keeps its own copy, having no envelope), and three optional arguments narrow what comes back: - identifierPrefix keeps nodes whose Semantics identifier starts with it; - subtreeOf keeps one node and its descendants, named by a ref from the latest snapshot or by an identifier, the ref tried first — an unknown root is refused as subtree_root_not_found before any snapshot is spent, so the caller's refs and snapshot_id stay valid; - fields projects each node to the named keys, ref always included; a name outside the node keys is refused as unknown_field, by the server catalog before the round trip and by the app after it. The tree is always walked whole, so refs on a filtered snapshot are the refs of the full one and every interaction tool resolves them. A filtered reply adds totalNodeCount and echoes the filter; children lists kept refs only; interactionSurface still describes the app rather than the slice. A node that carries only an identifier now counts as meaningful: a container named "rail" or "panel" exists to be addressed, and subtreeOf by ref needs it listed.

…e fields as JSON The MCP tool built a bare SemanticSnapshotCommand, so identifierPrefix, subtreeOf and fields never left the host — only the CLI path, which goes through the command catalog, forwarded them. And the fields list reached the app as List.toString(), which the extension's schema coercion refuses because a list argument travels as JSON, the way wait_for sends its predicate. Two tests in server_capability_core pin the mapping. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Fao9J2ibPNtCFhmMRjXv96
A legacy handler receives every argument as a string — the toolkit wrapper re-encodes lists as JSON — so the entry saw text where it looked for a List and dropped the projection silently. The entry now decodes the JSON it is handed; a test drives the entry through invokeDirect, the same path the service extension takes.

A snapshot payload carries `success` only when it refused, so the executor reported `subtree_root_not_found` as a successful command: the caller read an empty payload as a screen that went empty, while the refs it already held were still current — no snapshot had been taken. The refusal now routes to a failure that keeps the payload, alongside the routing the other interaction tools use. A captured snapshot has no `success` key at all, so the absent key stays a success. `fields` is validated at the MCP/CLI boundary, before a call reaches the app, so the skill and the tool schema describe that refusal instead of promising an `unknown_field` reply no caller on that path can see.

`SemanticSnapshotFilter` becomes a const extension type over the map the snapshot echoes back as `filter`, with `fromJson`/`toJson` and the `from_json_to_json` decoders the repository's models use. It reads the wire itself, so the two ad-hoc helpers in the toolkit entry are gone: a list argument arriving as JSON text decodes like a list, and a selector is kept as the caller wrote it — identifiers are matched whole, so a trimmed one selects a different node. A `subtreeOf` ref whose node has left the tree is now refused. The ref map still pointed at the detached `SemanticsNode`, no live node filtered into it, and an expired ref came back as a screen that had gone blank instead of the `subtree_root_not_found` it is. Tightening the catalog test to `isA<ArgumentError>()` exposed the third: `fields: "label"` threw a `FormatException` out of `jsonDecode` inside schema coercion, past every caller that answers invalid arguments. The gateway now reports it the way it reports a validation failure. The control skill listed `tooltip`, `key` and `flags` among the keys to scan, and a snapshot node carries none of them; it also read as if `fields` narrowed the node set, which is what `identifierPrefix` and `subtreeOf` do.

The scan table paired "semantic role / type" with `actions`, which lists the interactions a node accepts, not what it is. `type` is the key that names the role — button, textField, slider — so each gets its own row.

What is heavy today
A
semantic_snapshotof a busy screen repeats the viewport rectangle on every node — 54 copies of the same six numbers on a 54-node screen — and offers no way to ask for less than the whole tree. An agent that wants one rail, one panel, or just identifiers and selection flags reads and pays for everything.What this changes
The viewport is stated once, in the snapshot envelope. A single-ref visibility answer (
target_outside_viewporton a tap, for instance) keeps its own copy, having no envelope.Three optional arguments narrow what comes back:
identifierPrefix— keep nodes whoseSemantics(identifier:)starts with it ("nav."for one navigation rail).subtreeOf— keep one node and its descendants. Named by a ref from the latest snapshot or by an identifier, the ref tried first; an identifier needs no earlier snapshot. An unknown root is refused assubtree_root_not_foundbefore any snapshot is spent, so the caller's refs andsnapshot_idstay valid.fields— project each node to the named keys,refalways included. A name outside the node keys is refused asunknown_field: by the server catalog before the round trip (the schema'senuminside an array is not enforced by the validator), and by the app after it.The tree is always walked whole, so refs on a filtered snapshot are the refs of the full one and every interaction tool resolves them. A filtered reply adds
totalNodeCountand echoesfilter;childrenlists kept refs only;interactionSurfacestill describes the app rather than the slice.A node that carries only an identifier now counts as meaningful. A container named
railorpanelexists to be addressed — bysubtreeOf, bywait_for— andsubtreeOfby ref needs it listed. Before, it had no ref at all.Three argument layers, three fixes
The first live run through MCP returned an unfiltered snapshot with no error, because a tool argument crosses three layers that each drop it differently:
server_capability_corebuilds its own command and does not go through the server's command catalog (the catalog serves the CLI). It built a bareSemanticSnapshotCommand.wait_forsends its predicate;List.toString()fails the app-side schema coercion.Listand silently dropped the projection.Each layer now has a test that would have caught it: the capability handler's command, the catalog's command, and the entry driven through
invokeDirect.Tests
