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 enhances the content management feature by introducing a comprehensive content lifecycle management system. It integrates a new ContentStatus field across categories, headlines, and sources, allowing administrators to define and track the state of content (e.g., active, archived, draft). The changes span from backend data models and BLoC state management to the user interface, where new dropdowns facilitate status selection during content creation and editing, and updated table views provide clear visibility into content status and last modification times. This refactoring improves the usability and robustness of the content management system, providing better control over content visibility and workflow.

Highlights

  • Content Lifecycle Management: Introduced a ContentStatus field (active, archived, draft) to Category, Headline, and Source models, enabling lifecycle management for these content types.
  • UI Integration: Added dropdown fields for selecting ContentStatus in the creation and editing forms for categories, headlines, and sources.
  • Table View Enhancements: Modified the table views for categories, headlines, and sources to display the ContentStatus and Last Updated timestamp, replacing previous columns like 'description' or 'publishedAt' for better content overview. Also enabled row selection to navigate to the respective edit pages.
  • Localization Support: Added new localization keys for 'Status', 'Last Updated', and the different ContentStatus values (Active, Archived, Draft) to support internationalization.
  • Codebase Refinements: Updated BLoC states and events across content management features to incorporate the new ContentStatus, ensuring proper data flow and state management. Minor refactoring of Equatable props and class types (sealed, final) for improved type safety and immutability.
  • Dependency Updates: Updated several Flutter package dependencies, including go_router, device_preview, and freezed_annotation, along with the Flutter SDK constraint.

Remove this print() statement to avoid cluttering production logs. The log() call on the previous line is sufficient.
