The load-bearing piece of the multi-account epic (T-476): a bound workspace's hosted claude now spawns with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR set to that account's dir, so it runs under the bound account end-to-end. Every hosted session (primary / secondary / fork / teammate) inherits it — the orchestrator already routes all spawns through agentBootstrap. - New pure resolver claudeConfigDirForWorkspace(cwd, boundConfigDir, env): bound account dir > parent CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (respect the launcher) > null (Claude defaults to ~/.claude). The registry is injected as a plain lookup so agent_bootstrap stays Flutter-free (its tests run under `dart test`). - agentBootstrap merges CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR BEFORE base, so an explicit SpawnSpec.env override still wins (override > binding > parent > unset); the key is omitted entirely when the resolver returns null. - Orchestrator carries an optional AccountRegistry; the claude extension builds it from ctx.settings. Null in tests → no injection (unchanged behaviour). No way to SET a binding yet (that's the CLI T-480 / settings UI T-482), so no changelog entry — the mechanism is in place, the surface lands next. Unit tests cover the resolver's four states and the envDelta precedence. 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. 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/.
