This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. assert two Lists with the same contents are not ==, and neither are two Maps nor two Sets, while package:test's equals matcher deep-compares the same values, nested ones included, and passes
  2. assert a const collection is canonicalized, so const [1, 2] is identical to const [1, 2], that canonicalization is per type argument, and that copying the list loses the equality again
  3. assert ListEquality compares in order while MapEquality and SetEquality do not, their hashes agree where their equals does, and IterableEquality compares a List against a Set
  4. assert ListEquality and MapEquality go exactly one level deep, so nested collections are compared with == and only match when the inner values are const-canonicalized
  5. assert DeepCollectionEquality recurses through nested maps, lists and sets, is already order-insensitive for Sets but not for Lists, that unordered() extends that to Lists as a multiset, and that non-collections fall through to the base equality
  6. assert a Map used as a key in a plain Map only matches the instance it was stored under, so the cache grows and never hits, while a HashMap given DeepCollectionEquality's equals and hash matches a rebuilt key whatever order its literal was written in
  7. assert equal structures produce equal DeepCollectionEquality hashes, that the ordered and unordered hashes track their own equalities, and that a HashMap given equals without hashCode misses 2000 freshly built keys without calling the equals it was given even once
  8. assert groupBy returns exact groups keyed in first-occurrence order, firstWhereOrNull returns null where the SDK's firstWhere throws StateError, and whereNotNull yields the same List<int> as the SDK's nonNulls that deprecates it
  9. assert Dart records compare by value and work as Map keys, but a record holding a List is back to identity
