• Widen latlong2 from ^0.9.1 to >=0.9.1 <0.11.0.

  latlong2 0.10.0 shipped 2026-04-25 and flutter_map 8.x resolves it, so the old ceiling made this package uninstallable alongside current flutter_map — version solving failed for every published version. No source change; the cap was gratuitous. Verified on latlong2 0.10.1: analyze clean, 34/34 tests pass. ⚑ This line said "NOT verified" when staged and that is now false: at staging time this package could not resolve to 0.10.1 at all (pub get exit 65) because its published dependencies still capped latlong2 ^0.9.1. Once navigation_safety_core 0.11.5, fleet_hazard 0.6.1 and routing_engine 0.6.2 were published widened, resolution succeeded and the suite was run. Corrected before publish rather than shipped stale.

Changelog

Safety defect in 0.1.5 and earlier — please read

Up to and including 0.1.5, this package reported a route as clear, with full certainty, when it had no idea what the conditions were.

RerouteEvaluator.evaluate() returned RerouteDecision.clear() — reason "Route is clear", confidence = 1.0 — for any forecast in which no hazard fired. But a hazard cannot fire on data that was never measured. Because driving_weather 0.4.4 and earlier resolved absent readings into a fabricated "clear" condition (+5.0 °C, 10000 m visibility, iceRisk = false — see the driving_weather 0.5.0 changelog), a route with no weather data at all travelled through this package and came out the other side as:

RerouteDecision(reroute=false, conf=1.00, reason="Route is clear")

That is the highest-confidence claim this package can make, asserted on the basis of nothing. confidence = 1.0 also contradicted the field's own documented contract ("inherits from the forecast confidence of triggerSegment") — there is no trigger segment on a clear decision, so the value was not inherited from anything; it was invented.

If you shipped 0.1.5 or earlier to drivers, assume that any "route is clear" decision your integration displayed may have meant "we could not see the route at all", and that no distinction was available to you at the API. pub.dev releases are immutable and cannot be withdrawn: this note is the recall.

Breaking: a decision that could not be assessed can no longer look certain

• RerouteDecision.clear() is REMOVED. It is not deprecated. Leaving it callable would leave the lie callable, and it would remain the path of least resistance for every existing consumer.

• RerouteDecision.confidence is now double?. null means not assessable — the conditions this decision would have rested on were absent. It never means "zero confidence" and never means "no hazard".

• Two constructors replace the one, splitting a case the old code conflated:

  • RerouteDecision.noHazardFound({required double confidence}) — the forecast covered the route and nothing fired. Confidence is inherited from the forecast (the weakest segment along the route), never a synthetic 1.0.
  • RerouteDecision.cannotAssess({required String reason}) — the conditions were unknown, so no claim can be made. shouldReroute is false and confidence is null.

• RerouteDecision.isAssessed (new) — confidence != null. Gate any "route is clear" UI on this. shouldReroute == false on its own has never meant "the route is safe", and now it demonstrably does not: it is also what you get when the package could not look.

• RerouteEvaluator.verdictFor(segment) (new) — the tri-state SafetyVerdict (hazardous / notHazardous / unknown) for one segment, exposed so integrators can render per-segment map state without re-deriving the asymmetry and getting it wrong. SafetyVerdict is re-exported from driving_weather.

Behaviour changes in RerouteEvaluator.evaluate()

• A route with any segment whose conditions are unknown can no longer be certified clear → cannotAssess. Only when every segment is known and none is hazardous does it return noHazardFound.
• An empty forecast (no segments) → cannotAssess. An empty segment list is not an empty hazard list; it means nothing was assessed.
• The evaluator no longer routes its decision through RouteForecast's bool-valued hasAnyHazard / firstHazardSegment, which structurally cannot represent "unknown". It derives a tri-state verdict per segment from the segment's own condition and fleet hazard zones.

The asymmetry — why this does not cry wolf

A hazard fires on positive evidence from any single known signal, even when every other field is absent: an ice flag alone, a severe road-authority assertion alone, or a fleet-reported hazard zone alone, all still recommend a reroute. Only the negative claim — "no hazard on this route" — now requires complete knowledge.

Being offline therefore does not raise a hazard alert (a driver who is warned on every coverage gap learns within one trip to ignore the warning, and then ignores it on the night it is real). It produces cannotAssess, which is a state the driver can be told about.

Migration

0.1.5	0.2.0	Note
RerouteDecision.clear()	RerouteDecision.noHazardFound(confidence: f)	only when the route was actually assessed; pass the forecast's confidence, not 1.0
—	RerouteDecision.cannotAssess(reason: r)	the new third outcome
if (!d.shouldReroute) showClear();	if (!d.isAssessed) showUnknown(d.reason); else if (!d.shouldReroute) showClear(d.confidence!);	the fix, at your call site
double confidence	double? confidence	null = not assessable

shouldReroute is unchanged in type and meaning. If your integration only ever reads shouldReroute and detourWaypoints, it still compiles and behaves as before — but it will now silently treat cannotAssess as "no reroute needed", which is exactly the failure this release exists to end. Read isAssessed.

Also

• driving_weather constraint ^0.4.0 → ^0.5.0 (the Measured-or-Absent release; this package's honest-absence behaviour depends on that type surface, so the floor is hard).
• route_condition_forecast constraint ^0.1.0 → ^0.2.0.
• routing_engine constraint >=0.4.0 <0.6.0 → >=0.4.0 <0.7.0. This package's lib/ imports no routing_engine symbol (it only holds a RouteResult transitively, inside RouteForecast), so the 0.6.0 nullable-RouteManeuver.position break cannot reach it. The range spans 0.6.0 deliberately rather than pinning consumers needlessly.
• SAFETY_BOUNDARY.md §1/§3/§8 corrected in the same commit as the code: the 0.1.0 record described a two-outcome advisory surface and did not disclose that an unassessable route was presented to the driver as a clear one.

• Widen the routing_engine constraint to >=0.4.0 <0.6.0 so consumers can take routing_engine 0.5.0 (language-honoring turn-by-turn narration) alongside adaptive_reroute. No library code change (lib/ is byte-identical to 0.1.4).

• deps: require fleet_hazard: ^0.5.0 (the anonymized aggregate — HazardZone no longer retains a re-identifiable per-vehicle trail). No API change here; this package reads only zone center/severity/vehicleCount/confidence, all preserved. Tests updated to the ZoneObservation element type.

Safety-documentation honesty fix. The docs now describe only what ships; no source/behavior change.

• Struck a fabricated SOTIF safety claim. README and SAFETY_BOUNDARY.md (§3) described a "minimum-progress-before-reroute / anti-thrashing logic" presented as an explicit SOTIF-class mitigation against alarm-fatigue. No such field or logic exists in code; RerouteEvaluator evaluates each forecast independently with no debounce. Removed the claim and recorded alarm-fatigue mitigation as a documented carry-forward gap (integrator responsibility until implemented).
• Corrected the "respects detour-distance limits" claim. README said DetourPlanner respects detour-distance limits; AdaptiveRerouteConfig exposed maxDetourFraction, documented as the threshold above which a candidate route "is rejected." No code path consumes maxDetourFraction — nothing is rejected. The field is now documented as declared but not yet enforced (carry-forward gap; enforce in your own routing engine).
• Fixed a stale dartdoc reference to the non-existent AdaptiveRerouteService (actual class: RerouteEvaluator).

• Republish from the embedded-target Dart 3.10.1 SDK (Flutter 3.38.3) to correct a stale ^3.11.0 SDK floor in the previously-published artifact. No source or behavior change; the source already declared sdk: ^3.10.0. Restores pub get for embedded/automotive Dart consumers on Dart 3.10.x.

• driving_weather: ^0.3.0 → ^0.4.0 (consumer-side refresh after driving_weather 0.4.0 release earlier the same day).
• fleet_hazard: ^0.3.0 → ^0.4.0.
• routing_engine: ^0.3.0 → ^0.4.0.
• No source changes; pubspec dep-constraint refresh only.
