Every third-party artefact shipping in the clide binary — fonts, Dart packages, native tools, bundled assets — now has an entry in app/assets/licenses.yaml with name, kind, version, homepage, license identifier, relative path to the bundled license text, and a one-line purpose. The About screen (Tier 6) will render this file verbatim. Seeded with the current set: JetBrainsMono, JosefinSans, yaml, mocktail, alchemist, flutter_lints. D-042 captures the two-step-commit rule (artefact + licenses.yaml entry in the same changeset) alongside D-031's prefer-zero-deps budget: preferring zero deps is the budget; licenses.yaml is the visible consequence when the budget grows. CLAUDE.md "Dependencies & supply chain" gains a matching guardrail line. The per-dep license text files (OFL.txt for both fonts) are declared as pubspec assets too so the About screen has something to display, not just a manifest.

clide
A Flutter desktop IDE for Claude Code. Markdown-first content, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces, a Go sidecar handling PTYs / subprocesses / git / pql. Claude drives the UI through a clide CLI.
Currently pre-v2.0, scaffolding. The north-star design lives in docs/initial-plan.md; architectural decisions are captured in docs/ADRs/. The Python Textual v1.2.0 implementation is archived under legacy/ for reference.
Three surfaces, one tool
app/— Flutter desktop application (Linux / macOS; Windows is a stretch).sidecar/— Go sidecar/CLI, single binary with two modes:clide <subcommand>(one-shot for Claude) andclide --daemon(long-running sidecar for the app). Owns PTYs, subprocesses, file watchers, git, pql invocations.pql— external supporter tool. clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
Why the rebuild?
The Python Textual implementation (legacy/) proved the pane model but capped at terminal-only rendering. A short-lived experiment (claudian, April 2026) explored an Obsidian-plugin approach and was abandoned because Obsidian is Electron, and the user's history with terminal-in-Electron ruled that host out.
Flutter desktop resolves both constraints: native Skia rendering avoids Electron's failure modes, xterm.dart gives us a solid terminal surface, and the pane model can be rebuilt natively. The Obsidian ideas worth keeping (canvas, graph) fold in; everything else (vault concept, inline query tables, plugin ecosystem inheritance) doesn't.
Status
No build yet beyond the repo scaffold. Tier 0 acceptance: sidecar daemon runs, Flutter app connects, empty IDE shell appears with placeholders.
