…time Logging in to a different Stream app was only possible for the API key, and only through "Advanced Options"; the base URL could be reached solely via the e2e-only debug override. That left no way to point an already built deployment — the hosted web demo — at another environment. - Add a "Base URL" field to Advanced Options, threading it through AuthController.connect into the client and persisting it alongside the other credentials. Changing it rebuilds the client, since the URL is fixed at construction. - Prefill the API key field with the configured app. - Skip the `stream_chat_flutter_sample_app` predefined filter whenever a custom API key or base URL is in use — it is a saved query that exists only on the demo app, so it 404s everywhere else — and fall back to a plain members filter. - Keep STREAM_API_KEY / STREAM_BASE_URL dart-defines as the compile-time defaults for local runs, and document both paths in the README. Verified on the web build with no dart-defines: entering a staging key, user and base URL at runtime connects and loads channels, and the predefined filter is skipped automatically. Production defaults are unchanged — the demo users still load through the predefined filter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe sample app now supports custom Stream API keys and base URLs through runtime fields or ChangesCustom Stream backend support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Compile-time configuration for a custom Stream backend can incorrectly use a demo-only channel filter, preventing channels from loading in deployments built with custom dart-defines. Merge should wait for this bounded correctness issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 148-157: Update the usingCustomBackend getter to compare the
active API key and base URL against immutable demo defaults rather than the
potentially overridden kDefaultStreamApiKey and kStreamBaseUrl values. Preserve
detection when only the API key or only the base URL is supplied through
compile-time overrides, so channel_list.dart selects the portable behavior for
either custom-backend case.

Compare against immutable demo defaults.
kDefaultStreamApiKey and kStreamBaseUrl are themselves overridden by STREAM_API_KEY and STREAM_BASE_URL. When either dart-define targets another app, usingCustomBackend compares the active value with the same custom value and returns false. sample_app/lib/widgets/channel_list.dart then uses the demo-only kChannelListPredefinedFilter, so the documented compile-time custom-backend path cannot load channels.
Compare against immutable demo defaults, or track compile-time overrides explicitly. Cover API-key-only and base-URL-only dart defines.
