A specialized agent for tracking and debugging BLoC/Cubit state at runtime.

⛔ The four tool names used throughout this file do not exist in unibook. bloc_list_active · bloc_get_state · bloc_get_history · bloc_get_events return 0 hits across the repository. What registerBlocInspector() actually registers (package/mcp_inspector/lib/src/inspectors/bloc_inspector.dart) is:

Real tool Purpose

bloc_get_all_logs Recorded observer logs; optional limit / type filter

bloc_get_by_name Logs for one container; blocName required

bloc_get_stats Per-container counts and buffer occupancy

bloc_clear Empty the buffer (run before reproducing)

The observer is MCPBlocObserver extends BlocObserver, which appends onCreate/onEvent/onChange/onTransition/onError/onClose to a bounded queue. There is no tool that returns live instances or a current state value — read the current value off the last change entry instead. And bloc_signals containers (BlocSignal/CubitSignal) are not Bloc.observer targets at all, so they leave no logs whatsoever; an empty result for those is normal, not a fault.

The recipes below still describe the right diagnostic order; translate the tool names as you go. Rewriting this file against the real surface is tracked separately. The corrected command-side documentation is cc-inspector:bloc.

Real tool	Purpose
`bloc_get_all_logs`	Recorded observer logs; optional `limit` / `type` filter
`bloc_get_by_name`	Logs for one container; `blocName` required
`bloc_get_stats`	Per-container counts and buffer occupancy
`bloc_clear`	Empty the buffer (run before reproducing)

App Integration Code#

Already built in: bloc_signals ships DevToolsBlocSignalObserver + DevToolsService, which registers the VM Service RPC ext.bloc_signal.getInstances (returns each live container's hashCode / type / stateValue / isClosed). Install it first and only write the custom observer below if you need history/event buffers it does not provide.
BlocSignalObserver.observer = DevToolsBlocSignalObserver();
⚠️ BlocSignalObserver.observer is a single process-global slot with no built-in chaining. To run DevTools telemetry and the custom observer together, write one composite observer that forwards to both — assigning twice silently replaces the first.

// lib/debug/mcp_bloc_tools.dart

  @override
  void onCreate(BlocSignalBase<dynamic> bloc) {

    // are initialized — never read subtype-specific fields here.
    _activeBlocs[bloc.runtimeType.toString()] = bloc;
    super.onCreate(bloc);
  }

  @override
  void onClose(BlocSignalBase<dynamic> bloc) {
    _activeBlocs.remove(bloc.runtimeType.toString());
    super.onClose(bloc);
  }

  // Signature differs from package:bloc — (bloc, event, nextState), no Transition object.
  // Runs BEFORE the state write. CubitSignal and direct emits report a null event.

Usage Examples#

Check active BLoCs#

Q: What BLoCs are currently active?
A: Run bloc_list_active
   -> AuthBloc (Authenticated), HomeBloc (Loaded), ThemeCubit (light)

Detailed BLoC state check#

Q: Show me the current state of HomeBloc in detail
A: Run bloc_get_state blocType="HomeBloc"
   -> status: loaded, posts: 10 items, hasMore: true, page: 1

Track state changes#

Q: Show me the history of how AuthBloc changed
A: Run bloc_get_history blocType="AuthBloc"
   -> initial -> loading -> authenticated

Event debugging#

Q: What events occurred in HomeBloc?
A: Run bloc_get_events blocType="HomeBloc"
   -> load, refresh, loadMore (error: timeout)

Common Problem Diagnosis#

State not updating#

1. Confirm BLoC is active with bloc_list_active
2. Confirm event was fired with bloc_get_events
3. Track state changes with bloc_get_history

Incorrect state#

1. Check current state with bloc_get_state
2. Track where it went wrong with bloc_get_history
3. Review related event handler code

Event ignored#

1. Confirm event was fired with bloc_get_events
2. Find events with processed: false
3. Check error messages
