Summary of Changes

Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly refactors the application's core data models and configuration management. The changes aim to introduce a more organized and scalable structure for application settings, user preferences, and feature configurations, aligning with a new 'app aggregator identity pivot'. This involves renaming, reorganizing, and creating several models and enums to improve clarity and maintainability across the codebase.

Highlights

  • Configuration Restructuring: The application's remote configuration (remote_configs.dart) has undergone a major overhaul, introducing a hierarchical structure with new AppConfig, FeaturesConfig, and UserConfig models to better organize settings related to the application itself, user-facing features, and user-specific preferences, respectively.
  • Feed-Related Enum Renaming and New Enum: Enums previously prefixed with headline_ (e.g., HeadlineDensity, HeadlineImageStyle) have been renamed to feed_item_ (e.g., FeedItemDensity, FeedItemImageStyle) to generalize their applicability. A new enum, FeedItemClickBehavior, has been introduced to define how feed item clicks are handled.
  • Ad Configuration Simplification: Ad-related configurations have been streamlined. The AdConfig model now uses a single NavigationAdConfiguration to manage interstitial ads across the application, replacing the separate ArticleAdConfiguration and InterstitialAdConfiguration. Ad platform identifiers have also been generalized.
  • Push Notification Payload Standardization: The PushNotificationPayload model has been refactored to use explicit fields for notificationId, notificationType, contentType, and contentId, replacing the previous generic data map. The body field has also been removed from the payload.
  • Headline Model Simplification: The excerpt field has been removed from the Headline entity model and its corresponding fixtures, simplifying the data structure for news headlines.
  • User Settings Model Renaming: The UserAppSettings model has been renamed to AppSettings and its internal structure updated to align with the new FeedSettings model, reflecting a broader application of these settings beyond just user-specific contexts.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a large-scale and well-executed refactoring of the data models, most notably the RemoteConfig structure. The changes significantly improve the organization, clarity, and type safety of the configuration by grouping related settings into app, user, and features categories. Many models and enums have been renamed for better clarity, shifting from "headline"-specific terms to a more generic "feed_item" approach. A major improvement is the move to a strongly-typed PushNotificationPayload, which enhances maintainability. The refactoring is comprehensive, with consistent updates across models, fixtures, and tests. I have one suggestion regarding the ad configuration fixtures to ensure development workflows are not unintentionally impacted.

- Added AdPlatformIdentifiers for AdPlatformType.demo with placeholder values
- Ensures remote_configs.dart fixture now contains all necessary entries
