/clear tore the session down and respawned on the same deterministic --session-id BEFORE the old claude process had actually exited. The orchestrator's close() ran conversation.dispose() unawaited and kill() only sent SIGTERM without awaiting exitCode, so the respawn raced a still-alive holder of the id — claude 2.1.177 rejects it as "Session ID … is already in use" and exits 1. Root cause confirmed from clide's own crash log + isolated probes against 2.1.177: the id frees the instant the holder dies (SIGTERM cleans the new ~/.claude/sessions/<pid>.json registry), so awaiting real death is the fix — and it preserves T-268's deterministic-id continuity (chosen over minting a fresh id, which would change the continuity model). - stream_json_session: kill() awaits exitCode (SIGTERM → 2s → SIGKILL → await); dispose() idempotent (shared cached future); new SessionEnd.reason getter (last non-empty stderr line, capped). - session_orchestrator: close() awaits session.dispose() so teardown returns only once the process is truly dead, before clear + respawn. - claude_pane: surface end.reason in the status line — no more opaque "code 1". - session_naming: correct the stale clearSessionTranscript doc (real sidecar is the shared memory/ dir) + the await-death precondition. - tests: close() blocks until process exit; SessionEnd.reason. CLI 2.1.177 re-probe (folded-in scope): sessions/ registry characterized (PID-keyed, cleaned on exit); init cache auto-refreshes; advertised slash_commands show no routing-table drift. No further code change needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
clide
An IDE for Claude Code CLI. Native rendering, terminal-first interaction, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces. Linux and macOS.
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. tmux owns Claude session persistence (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, decisions, diff, editor, extensions_ui, files, git, graph, grammars_core, ipc_status, keybindings_ui, markdown, pql, problems, settings_ui, terminal, theme_picker, tickets, todos, 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
Pre-v2.0 (2.0.0-dev). Interaction model and panel system landed. The Python Textual v1.2.0 predecessor is archived under legacy/.
