🎯 What: Removed the unreachable fallback return and redundant type check in RenderGrid._crossIntrinsicFromChildren in lib/src/widgets/grid.dart.

πŸ’‘ Why: _gridDelegate is always a SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount, making the is SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount check redundant and its fallback return statement dead code. Removing it improves codebase maintainability and readability.

βœ… Verification: Verified with flutter test (all 155 tests pass) and flutter analyze / dart format.

✨ Result: Dead code removed cleanly without changing runtime behavior.

Closing: the premise does not hold. RenderGrid._gridDelegate is typed SliverGridDelegate, Grid(gridDelegate: ...) accepts any delegate (see CHANGELOG 4.0.0), and Grid.extent constructs a SliverGridDelegateWithMaxCrossAxisExtent β€” so the is check and the maxChild + _crossPaddingSum fallback are live code, as the method's doc comment ("other delegates adapt their cell count to any extent") already states. With this change, Grid.extent(...) and any custom delegate throw _TypeError: type 'SliverGridDelegateWithMaxCrossAxisExtent' is not a subtype of type 'SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount' in type cast on every intrinsic query, including IntrinsicWidth(child: Grid.extent(...)) during layout and the unbounded-cross fallback (reproduced locally; base passes). The 155-test suite stayed green only because no existing test exercises intrinsics with a non-fixed-count delegate; regression tests for that gap will land on master separately.

Understood. Acknowledging that the fallback code is live for non-fixed delegates like SliverGridDelegateWithMaxCrossAxisExtent and stopping work on this task.

PR #26 proposed replacing the widest-single-cell fallback in
RenderGrid._crossIntrinsicFromChildren with a cast to
SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount. That branch is live: every
Grid.extent and every custom SliverGridDelegate reaches it, and the
cast throws a TypeError for both.

Add a 'delegate fallback intrinsics' group with five regressions β€”
Grid.extent min/max intrinsic width, its unbounded-cross intrinsic
height, the horizontal variant, a bare SliverGridDelegate subclass
via Grid(gridDelegate:), and IntrinsicWidth over Grid.extent in a
loose-width parent. All five fail with the #26 cast applied and pass
on the fallback. State in the method doc that _gridDelegate is
deliberately SliverGridDelegate and the fallback must stay.
