A Write(<path>) permission rule matches nothing. File permission checks consult only Edit(<path>) rules, which already cover every file-editing tool — Write, Edit and NotebookEdit alike. Claude Code now warns about the dead shape at session start. The Edit() rule directly above this one was doing the whole job, so the grammars were never unprotected and nothing changes here but the warning. Worth noting the general hazard though: a permission rule that silently matches nothing is indistinguishable from one that works, which is the same failure mode as the git prefix-pattern bypass.

clide
An IDE for Claude Code CLI. Native rendering, terminal-first interaction, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces. Linux, macOS and Windows.
Architecture
Single Flutter package at the repo root. The app hosts everything in-process: IPC server, subsystem handlers (pane, files, editor, git, pql), and the extension framework. Claude session persistence is --resume <session-id> against Claude Code's transcript files (D-77, superseding the tmux-backed D-41).
lib/— all Dart code. Core subsystems (lib/src/), kernel services (lib/kernel/), UI widgets (lib/widgets/), built-in extensions (lib/builtin/), the extension framework (lib/extension/).- PTY —
lib/src/pty/spawns child processes via Dart FFIposix_openpt()+posix_spawn()directly; no external helper binary. native/— vendored native libraries (libtree-sitter.sowith wasmtime embedded). Linux only today.- pql — external supporter tool. Clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
Claude drives the UI through a clide CLI surface (Bash, not MCP). Every CLI subcommand has a UI affordance and every UI action has a CLI equivalent (D-6).
Built-in extensions
canvas, claude, claude_control, cli_install, decisions, deeplink, default_layout, diff, editor, extensions_ui, files, git, grammars_core, graph, ipc_status, keybindings_ui, markdown, menubar, output, pql, problems, search, settings_ui, terminal, theme_picker, tickets, todos, view, vim, welcome.
Building
Requires Flutter (stable channel) and pql
on the host. pql is a hard dependency — the pre-push gate runs pql decisions validate and the governance + ticket workflow is built on it (see its repo for
install). One-time setup:
make hooks && flutter pub get
pql init # once, in the repo root — wires up the pql skill + perms
Then:
make run # launch the desktop app
make test # fast suite: analyze + format + unit + widget + golden
make test-core # core subsystem tests (IPC, PTY, git, pane registry)
make test-a11y # accessibility contract tests
make test-integration # real app boot integration tests
make build-linux # flutter build linux
make build-macos # flutter build macos
make push-check # pre-push gate: decisions + core + fast + a11y + coverage + changelog
Status
Active development; the interaction model, panel system, and settings engine have landed. The Python Textual predecessor is archived under legacy/.
