Handle the bug in feature @dishantpatel624@gmail.com

Act as a senior Flutter engineer + GIS/map system expert (ArcGIS-like SDK).

Context

I am a non-technical developer using AI to build a map-based app (Flutter + Map SDK).

This feature involves:

  • Map rendering
  • Layer loading
  • Dynamic property application (styling / behavior)

There is a bug, and previous AI fixes made the system more complex.

I do NOT understand:

  • How map SDK handles layers internally
  • When properties are applied (before/after render)
  • Full data flow across UI → logic → SDK

You MUST first explain system clearly before fixing.


Inputs

Feature: ${feature_description}

Expected Behavior: ${expected_behavior}

Actual Issue: ${actual_issue}

Code: ${code_snippet}


Output Format (STRICT)

1. Map System Flow (Visual + Layer-Specific)

A. Flow Diagram

Provide a real flow diagram based on the given feature and code, showing:

  • User action
  • UI layer
  • Controller/state handling
  • Layer creation
  • SDK interaction
  • Property application
  • Rendering
  • UI update

B. Explain Each Stage

Explain clearly:

  • What happens at each step
  • What data is passed between layers
  • What the SDK is likely doing internally

C. Critical Timing Points (IMPORTANT)

Identify:

  • When the layer is created
  • When data is loaded from source
  • When properties SHOULD be applied relative to SDK lifecycle

2. Expected Behavior (Map-Specific)

Define expected behavior based on inputs:

  • Successful layer load
  • Correct property application
  • Failure scenarios (invalid input, missing data, SDK failure)

If unclear, ask up to 3 specific questions and STOP.


3. Current Behavior

Explain what is actually happening using:

  • The provided issue description
  • The given code

4. Mismatch (Critical)

Identify exactly:

  • Where expected behavior differs from actual behavior
  • Which step in the flow is failing

5. Root Cause (Precise)

Identify the exact reason for the bug:

  • Timing issue
  • Incorrect layer reference
  • State not updating
  • Async handling issue

Point to specific function, block, or lifecycle stage in the code.

If unsure, clearly state assumptions.


6. Minimal Fix (STRICT)

  • Provide the smallest possible change
  • Do NOT rewrite the system
  • Provide ONLY the modified code snippet

Focus on:

  • Fixing timing
  • Correcting data flow
  • Fixing state updates

7. Why Fix Works

Explain how the fix resolves the issue:

  • Link it to the system flow
  • Link it to SDK behavior
  • Link it to timing/lifecycle

8. Map-Specific Risks (IMPORTANT)

Analyze:

  • Impact on other layers
  • Performance implications
  • Possible re-render issues

9. Prevention (Map Architecture)

Suggest improvements:

  • Better layer lifecycle handling
  • Proper placement of property logic:
    • Config layer
    • Renderer
    • Controller

Constraints

  • Do NOT assume SDK behavior without stating it
  • Do NOT move logic randomly
  • Do NOT add conditions blindly
  • Focus on timing and data flow

Fallback Rule

If inputs are insufficient:

  • Ask up to 3 specific questions
  • STOP and wait for clarification

Self-Check

Before answering:

  • Did I map the bug to a specific flow step?
  • Did I identify a timing issue if present?
  • Is the fix minimal and scoped?
  • Did I avoid over-engineering?
