app-startup-and-bootstrap
Enforces a fixed main() cold-launch order — crash-log sink + FlutterError.onError + PlatformDispatcher.onError installed BEFORE any code that can throw, settings/theme read before runApp so the first frame paints correct, real infra constructed in a composition-root bootstrap() and injected via ProviderScope overrideWithValue over throwing placeholder providers, non-blocking warm-up deferred to addPostFrameCallback, exactly two error handlers with NO runZonedGuarded, ProviderException unwrapped before logging, and a WidgetsBindingObserver that flushes durable state on background/resume. Use when editing lib/main.dart, main_<flavor>.dart, bootstrap.dart or app.dart, reordering anything in main(), adding a splash/onboarding/permission gate, restoring theme before first paint, wiring a DB or service into ProviderScope, handling app-lifecycle background/resume flushes, or chasing cold-start latency, ANRs, or first-frame jank.

App startup and bootstrap main() has one job: a crash net, read the little state the first frame needs, wire real dependencies into the tree, and hand off to runApp — fast, ordered, and unable to hide a failure. Everything expensive happens after the first frame or off the launch path entirely. Non-negotiable rules Error handlers go first, before anything that can throw. A crash-log sink, FlutterError.onError, and PlatformDispatcher.instance.onError are installed immediately after WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(). The step most likely to throw is opening the DB; installing handlers after it inverts the whole point. Exactly two error handlers — no zone. FlutterError.onError (build/layout/paint errors) and PlatformDispatcher.instance.onError (uncaught async errors) cover every path. Never add runZonedGuarded. The "you need all three" advice is crash-SDK advice (Sentry wraps its init in a zone); with no such SDK a zone buys nothing and costs a documented zone-mismatch footgun.
