   Fixed

   • The search and close icons briefly overlapped while swapping: the elastic curve kept the outgoing icon at full size while the incoming one grew, and rotate / flipVertical never faded at all. The swap is now sequential for every animation style (the old icon leaves in the first 45 %, the new one arrives after), every style fades, and a per-frame regression test covers all ten styles in both directions.

   Added

   • Six designs via design: — classic, pill (Material 3 search pill), glass (frosted liquid glass), gradient (vivid on-brand gradient), floating (detached capsule) and spotlight (command palette with a ⌘K / Ctrl K hint). All derive from the app's ColorScheme, light and dark.
   • Responsive layout measured on the bar's own width: on wide bars the title stays and search opens beside it (wideBreakpoint, maxSearchWidth).
   • Keyboard shortcuts for web/desktop: ⌘/Ctrl+K and / open, Esc closes (keyboardShortcuts).
   • AppBarSearchController to open/close from code; onOpen / onClose.
   • debounce for onChanged (submit flushes).
   • Inline clear button (showClearButton), initiallyOpen, titleWidget, bottom (e.g. TabBar), toolbarHeight, foregroundColor, gradient, searchIcon / closeIcon, tooltip overrides, textInputAction, keyboardType, automaticallyImplyLeading (back/drawer like AppBar).
   • Back gesture / button closes search before leaving the page (closeOnBack).
   • Localized defaults (Search / Close / Clear text) from Material localizations.
   • Reduced-motion support; status-bar icon brightness follows the bar.

   Fixed

   • The hidden search field stayed tappable and keyboard-focusable while closed (tapping the title could open the keyboard); the hidden title stayed tappable while searching. Both layers are now inert, unfocusable and excluded from semantics, and offstage once fully hidden.
   • Opening then quickly closing could still pop the keyboard (delayed focus).
   • Closing cleared the text without calling onChanged(''), leaving filters stale.
   • Swapping controller / focusNode / duration at runtime was ignored.
   • Animations and the reveal direction ignored right-to-left text.
   • Typed text was not vertically centered in the field.
   • Low-contrast hint text.
   • Wrong homepage link; README said "5" animations next to a list of 10.

   Changed

   • hintText defaults to the localized "Search" instead of 'Search...'.
