macOS cmsghdr uses socklen_t (4 bytes) for cmsg_len, not size_t (8 bytes like Linux). The Dart FFI struct was reading at wrong offsets causing SCM_RIGHTS fd transfer to fail. Added CmsghdrDarwin with Uint32 cmsg_len alongside the existing Linux layout. SOL_SOCKET is 0xffff on macOS (was hardcoded to 1 for Linux). Now platform-detected. Switched from ad-hoc to Apple Development signing with team ID. Removed app sandbox from entitlements — proper signing makes it unnecessary. All SBPL hacks eliminated. PtySession.spawn() runs recvFd in a child isolate to avoid blocking the backend isolate's event loop. Terminal testmode test now passes: pane.spawn via backend isolate successfully forks and execs the shell. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
