release: 1.8.0

[anilcancakir]

Minor: one widget flag, three new perf counters, and a leaner WDiv. Wave 2 of the 2026-09-29 perf batch, after contracts 1.2.0 (live).

What ships

All from #225:

• Added.
  • WAnchor.trackFocus.
  • WindPerfCounters gains widgetBuilds, wrapperEmissions and inheritedReads, which the contracts 1.2.0 stats() keys document. recordInheritedRead takes a WindInheritedRead enum.
  • Wind.installDebugResolver() and installPerfResolver() widen from kDebugMode to !kReleaseMode, so a profile build carries them.
• Changed.
  • A WDiv whose only state classes are hover: or active: is no longer a Tab or D-pad stop, and its wrapper builds no Focus.
  • WDiv builds its decorated box from primitives instead of a Container.
  • WindContext.build and the h-full fallback depend on MediaQuery.sizeOf rather than the whole MediaQueryData.
• Fixed. inheritedReads counts the reads WindContext.build makes on every parse.

The minor is for the ### Added section, as 1.7.0 was. The CHANGELOG sections are now ordered Added, Changed, Fixed; [Unreleased] had them as Changed, Fixed, Added.

Floors

Dependency	From	To
fluttersdk_wind_diagnostics_contracts	^1.1.0	^1.2.0

Stamps

• pubspec.yaml.
• example/pubspec.yaml (1.8.0+1) and example/pubspec.lock, which is hosted and has no /Users/ path.
• The root pubspec.lock: contracts 1.2.0 from pub.dev.
• dartdoc_options.yaml: the blob/1.8.0 source link.
• llms.txt: the version line.
• skills/wind-ui/SKILL.md moves to the 1.8 line (description, heading and body stamp) and to version: 2.22.0, the way 1.7.0 moved it.
• The CHANGELOG promotion, with its [1.8.0] link ref.

git grep -nF 1.7.0 -- ':!CHANGELOG.md' ':!*.lock' and a grep for ^1.1.0 are both empty.

Where this sits

magic 0.0.24 re-pins fluttersdk_wind: ^1.8.0 after this is live. Every current dependent pins ^1.7.0, which admits 1.8.0.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e06a9

Users may miss the hover-only focus rule in the skill guidance, and profile users following the resolver example will not install it. Both issues have localized documentation fixes; the resolver itself supports profile builds.

Allow the resolver example to run in profile builds.

Wind.installDebugResolver() supports profile builds. Change the guard to !kReleaseMode and update the “Debug only” comment.

🐛 Suggested fix

-// Debug only: expose 7-field debug data to inspectors via fluttersdk_wind_diagnostics_contracts
-if (kDebugMode) Wind.installDebugResolver();
+// Debug and profile: expose 7-field debug data to inspectors via fluttersdk_wind_diagnostics_contracts

Update the guard around Wind.installDebugResolver() to use !kReleaseMode so the
resolver example runs in both debug and profile builds; also update the nearby
“Debug only” comment to describe both build modes.

- Line 3: Add the hover-only WDiv focus rule and its workaround to the Layout
Reality section in SKILL.md: explain that hover-only className does not publish
focus-within to children, and that adding a focus: class to the row enables a
sibling to respond.
