add format cmd to tools instruction (#173428)
The original instruction made me think that `dart analyze .` also
formats the code, but it does not.

`dev/bots/analyze.dart` formats the code, but not `dart analyze .`

fix: get content hash for master on local engine branches (third attempt) (#173169)
The content hash doesn't exist for local engine changes, except for on
CI. If we detect we're on a branch with committed or uncommitted changes
to engine files; use "master".

towards #171790

re-land attempt for #173114 (try 2)
re-land attempt for #172792 (original)

The first commit in this PR is the previously LGTM'd changes for the
above; with tests.

The second commit is the critical change to make this work in post
submits (fixes #173143). It turns out that while LUCI reports the GitHub
private branches; our recipes directly checkout the git sha. This
matters because the content scripts couldn't determine the branch name
and the rev-parse was just HEAD. This lead the scripts down the
merge-base logic, which returns the previous commit.

A test was added specifically for this.

Alternatively to this change, we could have checked for LUCI_CONTEXT
being present in the environment. This is checked by Flutter tools in
some cases, but not by any other scripts in `bin/internal`. The downside
to checking HEAD: if you have a local branch with engine changes and you
move back a revision - `dart`/`flutter` invocations will generate the
hash for your local changes and fail.

feat: start using the content aware hash for downloading artifacts (#172552)
reland of https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171927
towards https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/171790

Use the content aware hash when downloading engine artifacts. These are
currently produced when changes to DEPs, engine/, or the release file
are changed in a not-seen-before way.

We can eventually remove engine.version being tracked in release
branches as an optimization.

FLUTTER_PREBUILT_ENGINE_VERSION will stay for overriding the
engine.version for testing. Though Cocoon does not need to actually set
it for framework only PRs anymore.

Reland "Add feature flags to the framework" (#171545)
This relands https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437. The google3
fixes were landed in: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171547,
https://critique.corp.google.com/cl/781275353,
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171933.

This PR is split into two commits:

1. d6253794e8982348c5c21cb63e8f6bf785664be6, code from
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437 without any changes
2. f35d29e4af630d2d4fdb0cda8686b6ff9f77227a, updates the PR to omit
obvious types.

Original PR description:

## Motivation

We'd like to let users opt-in to experimental features so that they can
give early feedback while we iterate on the feature. For example:

Example feature flags:

1. Android sensitive content:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/158473. When enabled, Flutter
will tell Android when the view contains sensitive content like a
password.
3. Desktop multi-window. When enabled, Flutter will use child windows to
allow things like a context menu to "escape" outside of the current
window.

### Use case

Users will be able to turn on features by:

* **Option 1**: Run `flutter config --enable-my-feature`. This enables
the feature for all projects on the machine
* **Option 2**: Add `enable-my-feature: true` in their `pubspec.yaml`,
under the `flutter` section. This would enable the for a single project
on the machine.

Turning on a feature affects _both_ development-time (`flutter run`) and
deployment-time (`flutter build x`). For example, I can `flutter build
windows` to create an `.exe` with multi-window features enabled.

## How this works

This adds a new
[`runtimeId`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-0ded384225f19a4c34d43c7c11f7cb084ff3db947cfa82d8d52fc94c112bb2a7R243-R247)
property to the tool's `Feature` class. If a feature is on and has a
`runtimeId`, its `runtimeId` will be [stamped into the Dart application
as a Dart
define](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-bd662448bdc2e6f50e47cd3b20b22b41a828561bce65cb4d54ea4f5011cc604eR293-R327).
The framework uses this Dart define to [determine which features are
enabled](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-c8dbd5cd3103bc5be53c4ac5be8bdb9bf73e10cd5d8e4ac34e737fd1f8602d45).

### Multi-window example

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697 shows how this new
feature flag system can be used to add a multi-window feature flag:

1. It adds a new [multi-window
feature](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-0ded384225f19a4c34d43c7c11f7cb084ff3db947cfa82d8d52fc94c112bb2a7R189-R198)
to the Flutter tool. This can be turned on using `flutter config
--enable-multi-window` or by putting `enable-multi-window: true` in an
app's .pubspec, under the `flutter` section.
2. It adds a new
[`isMultiWindowEnabled`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-c8dbd5cd3103bc5be53c4ac5be8bdb9bf73e10cd5d8e4ac34e737fd1f8602d45R7-R11)
property to the framework.
4. The Material library can use this new property to determine whether
it should create a new window.
[Example](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-2cbc1634ed6b61d61dfa090e7bfbbb7c60b74c8abc3a28df6f79eee691fd1b73).

## Limitations

### Tool and framework only

For now, these feature flags are available only to the Flutter tool and
Flutter framework. The flags are not automatically available to the
embedder or the engine.

For example, embedders need to configure their surfaces differently if
Impeller is enabled. This configuration must happen before the Dart
isolate is launched. As a result, the framework's feature flags is not a
viable solution for this scenario for now. For these kinds of scenarios,
we should continue to use platform-specific configuration like the
`AndroidManifest.xml` or `Info.plist` files.

This is a fixable limitation, we just need to invest in this plumbing :)

### Tree shaking

Feature flags are not designed to help tree shaking. For example, you
cannot conditionally import Dart code depending on the enabled feature
flags. Code that is feature flagged off will still be imported into
user's apps.

[tool] Make google3 have to override feature flags (#171933)
_⚠️ Landing this is blocked until: 1)
https://critique.corp.google.com/cl/781275353 lands and 2) google3 is
updated to add the new feature flag introduced in
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171903._

Currently, google3's `Google3Features` extends `FeatureFlags`. As a
result, google3 automatically gets the same feature flag values as in
Flutter.

This makes Flutter's feature flag values abstract, thereby requiring
that google3's `Google3Features` must explicitly set each feature flag's
value.

Discussion that motivated this change:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/171797
Internal CL: https://critique.corp.google.com/cl/781275353
Part of: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/167668

viable solution for this scenario for now. For these kinds of scenarios,
we should continue to use platform-specific configuration like the
`AndroidManifest.xml` or `Info.plist` files.

This is a fixable limitation, we just need to invest in this plumbing :)

### Tree shaking

Feature flags are not designed to help tree shaking. For example, you
cannot conditionally import Dart code depending on the enabled feature
flags. Code that is feature flagged off will still be imported into
user's apps.

Add feature flags to the framework (#168437)
## Motivation

We'd like to let users opt-in to experimental features so that they can
give early feedback while we iterate on the feature. For example:

Example feature flags:

1. Android sensitive content:
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/158473. When enabled, Flutter
will tell Android when the view contains sensitive content like a
password.
2. Desktop multi-window. When enabled, Flutter will use child windows to
allow things like a context menu to "escape" outside of the current
window.

### Use case

Users will be able to turn on features by:

* **Option 1**: Run `flutter config --enable-my-feature`. This enables
the feature for all projects on the machine
* **Option 2**: Add `enable-my-feature: true` in their `pubspec.yaml`,
under the `flutter` section. This would enable the for a single project
on the machine.

Turning on a feature affects _both_ development-time (`flutter run`) and
deployment-time (`flutter build x`). For example, I can `flutter build
windows` to create an `.exe` with multi-window features enabled.

## How this works

This adds a new
[`runtimeId`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-0ded384225f19a4c34d43c7c11f7cb084ff3db947cfa82d8d52fc94c112bb2a7R243-R247)
property to the tool's `Feature` class. If a feature is on and has a
`runtimeId`, its `runtimeId` will be [stamped into the Dart application
as a Dart
define](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-bd662448bdc2e6f50e47cd3b20b22b41a828561bce65cb4d54ea4f5011cc604eR293-R327).
The framework uses this Dart define to [determine which features are
enabled](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168437/files#diff-c8dbd5cd3103bc5be53c4ac5be8bdb9bf73e10cd5d8e4ac34e737fd1f8602d45).

### Multi-window example

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697 shows how this new
feature flag system can be used to add a multi-window feature flag:

1. It adds a new [multi-window
feature](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-0ded384225f19a4c34d43c7c11f7cb084ff3db947cfa82d8d52fc94c112bb2a7R189-R198)
to the Flutter tool. This can be turned on using `flutter config
--enable-multi-window` or by putting `enable-multi-window: true` in an
app's .pubspec, under the `flutter` section.
2. It adds a new
[`isMultiWindowEnabled`](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-c8dbd5cd3103bc5be53c4ac5be8bdb9bf73e10cd5d8e4ac34e737fd1f8602d45R7-R11)
property to the framework.
3. The Material library can use this new property to determine whether
it should create a new window.
[Example](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/168697/files#diff-2cbc1634ed6b61d61dfa090e7bfbbb7c60b74c8abc3a28df6f79eee691fd1b73).

## Limitations

### Tool and framework only

For now, these feature flags are available only to the Flutter tool and
Flutter framework. The flags are not automatically available to the
embedder or the engine.

For example, embedders need to configure their surfaces differently if
Impeller is enabled. This configuration must happen before the Dart
isolate is launched. As a result, the framework's feature flags is not a
viable solution for this scenario for now. For these kinds of scenarios,
we should continue to use platform-specific configuration like the
`AndroidManifest.xml` or `Info.plist` files.

This is a fixable limitation, we just need to invest in this plumbing :)

### Tree shaking

Feature flags are not designed to help tree shaking. For example, you
cannot conditionally import Dart code depending on the enabled feature
flags. Code that is feature flagged off will still be imported into
user's apps.

Fix broken markdown link to Engine repository in Project-teams.md (#171267)
<!--

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/main/docs/contributing/Tree-hygiene.md
-->

This PR fixes a broken markdown link in the Flutter project teams
documentation that prevents proper navigation to the Engine repository.

**Issue Fixed**: In `docs/about/Project-teams.md`, the Engine repository
link was malformed due to a missing opening bracket in the markdown
syntax. The link appeared as `([flutter
engine]https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/main/engine)` instead of
proper markdown link syntax.

**Change Made**: Added the missing opening parenthesis to fix the
markdown link:
```diff
- * The Engine ([flutter engine]https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/main/engine)
+ * The Engine ([flutter engine](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/tree/main/engine))
```

**Impact**: This ensures developers reading the documentation can
properly navigate to the Engine repository and that the markdown renders
correctly across all platforms.

This fixes a documentation quality issue found during routine
documentation review. While this doesn't correspond to a specific filed
GitHub issue, it addresses a clear usability problem in the official
Flutter documentation.

[web] Align the PR triage process with the ecosystem's triage flow (#171086)
_The following applies only to PRs in `flutter/packages`_

After speaking with @stuartmorgan-g, updating the team-web PR triage
links to align with the expectations of the ecosystem team:

1. The ecosystem team does a first pass triage and adds `triage-*`
labels to request review from other teams.
2. The web team reviews PRs labelled with `triage-web`.
3. The web team removes the `triage-web` label when they approve the PR
and don't need to look at it anymore.
4. If the web team is the last reviewer, they should apply the
`autosubmit` label.

This PR reflects the rolling of go_router triage into framework triage:
- removes go_router team from triage docs
- Updates the framework triage links
- The incoming issue link was broken, pulling the wrong subset due to

  - Added PR link for framework owned PRs in flutter/packages

I am following up with the triage team to remove the team-go_router
labels and reroute them to team-framework.

Workspace (#169556)
Reland after https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/169844.

Switch Flutter to use pub workspaces as a preparation to unpin selected
packages.

Assumptions:

1. No packages in this repository are published to pub.dev --> We can
use `any` dependencies in most local pubspecs, as the global constraint
defines the version. An exception are the packages used outside of this
repo with an `sdk` dependency, namely `flutter_localizations`,
`flutter_test`, and `flutter`.
2. The "universes" `{flutter_tools}` and `{flutter,
flutter_localizations, flutter_goldens}` can use different packages
versions, as they are not resolved together. --> We do not need to
upgrade them in sync, we can first do one "universe", then the other.

Based on these assumptions, we use
https://github.com/mosuem/pubspec_merger.dart to merge all packages in
the `flutter` universe into a top-level pub workspace.

The `flutter` and `flutter_tools` workspaces being separate also ensures
that changes to `flutter` will not inadvertently break `flutter_tools`,
with not-so-nice consequences for our users which would be unable to run
`flutter upgrade`.

There is a third "top-level" pubspec besides `./pubspec.yaml` and
`packages/flutter_tools/pubspec.yaml`, namely
`packages/flutter_tools/.../widget_preview_scaffold/pubspec.yaml`. This
is an artifact due to it living under `flutter_tools`, so it can't be
part of the `./pubspec.yaml` workspace. Moving it would be a larger
change, and out of the scope of this PR.

This required a rewrite of the update-packages tool, but the main
functionality stays the same, as well as the argument names, to ensure a
seamless transition.

Add workspace (#169451)
Reland after #169357.

Switch Flutter to use pub workspaces as a preparation to unpin selected
packages.

Assumptions:

1. No packages in this repository are published to pub.dev --> We can
use `any` dependencies in most local pubspecs, as the global constraint
defines the version. An exception are the packages used outside of this
repo with an `sdk` dependency, namely `flutter_localizations`,
`flutter_test`, and `flutter`.
2. The "universes" `{flutter_tools}` and `{flutter,
flutter_localizations, flutter_goldens}` can use different packages
versions, as they are not resolved together. --> We do not need to
upgrade them in sync, we can first do one "universe", then the other.

Based on these assumptions, we use
https://github.com/mosuem/pubspec_merger.dart to merge all packages in
the `flutter` universe into a top-level pub workspace.

The `flutter` and `flutter_tools` workspaces being separate also ensures
that changes to `flutter` will not inadvertently break `flutter_tools`,
with not-so-nice consequences for our users which would be unable to run
`flutter upgrade`.

There is a third "top-level" pubspec besides `./pubspec.yaml` and
`packages/flutter_tools/pubspec.yaml`, namely
`packages/flutter_tools/.../widget_preview_scaffold/pubspec.yaml`. This
is an artifact due to it living under `flutter_tools`, so it can't be
part of the `./pubspec.yaml` workspace. Moving it would be a larger
change, and out of the scope of this PR.

This required a rewrite of the update-packages tool, but the main
functionality stays the same, as well as the argument names, to ensure a
seamless transition.

Start removing Observatory support and references (#169216)
This change removes references to Observatory, including:

 - Deprecated flags
 - Deprecated embedder APIs
 - Outdated documentation
 - Documentation instances where "VM service" should have been used
 - Incorrectly named tests / directories

As a part of this change, `--serve-observatory` is no longer a valid
flag.

Observatory is still available for now via the `_serveObservatory` RPC,
but will be removed in a follow up PR once we've prepared for breakages
in G3.

Work towards https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/50233

Remove flutter engine repo links (#167481)
3 notable places I did not migrate. 

1. engine/src/flutter/docs/Engine-disk-footprint.md treemaps and what
hash is used for what upload.
1. engine/src/flutter/lib/gpu/pubspec.yaml, I didnt want this pr to
update code that could need to be reverted and I didnt know what to do
to test that publishing would not break or cause a downstream breakage.
1. engine/src/flutter/build/zip_bundle.gni I wasnt sure how to test my
changes.

Reviewers: Please let me know if you want a different link or if you
would prefer something unmodified.

Commits: 
- **Replace triage links with equivalents, change pull request to
generic flutter/flutter, replace code search link with equivalent**
- **Change link from flutter/engine to engine folder, modify link text
to team**
- **replace engine repo link with engine folder, replace text repo with
folder**
- **replace engine specific security info with flutter generic**
- **replace engine roller comment with a skia roller equivalent**
- **link to same file in new location**
- **Remove comment that some code lives in flutter/flutter and some in
flutter/engine**
- **Say to bump dart in flutter/flutter without mentioning engine**
- **Replace documentation with new locations**
- **replace code printed comments with new locations**

Partially addresses https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/167478
