Third slice of T-99. After this `clide status` actually does
something when typed in a shell.
* native/clide-cli/clide.c — ~250 LOC C. Walks CWD up to .git,
hashes the workspace root with FNV-1a 64-bit (byte-for-byte
identical to the Dart side, pinned via reference vectors in
paths_test.dart), opens the per-workspace socket, and ships argv
across the wire as `{cmd:"_argv", args:{argv:[...]}}`.
* lib/src/cli/argv_dispatch.dart — registers the `_argv` sentinel
command on the dispatcher. The handler runs the T-125 parser on
the embedded argv and either re-dispatches the unwrapped request
through the same dispatcher or returns the pre-built error
response. Keeps the parser in Dart so the C side stays dumb.
* lib/src/ipc/paths.dart — fnv1a64Hex hoisted to a public helper +
fixed to format as unsigned (Dart `int` is signed int64; the high
bit lit a leading minus that broke the cross-language compare).
Reference-vector tests added against the FNV reference.
* `make clide-cli` builds it via the host `cc`; output lands at
native/<platform>/clide and is gitignored. Test
test/cli/clide_cli_e2e_test.dart compiles + exercises the full
round-trip; skips cleanly when no cc is on PATH.
* CONTRIBUTING.md gets a "C clide shell client" section.
T-128 (delete legacy IPC) unblocked.

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) on the host. One-time setup:
make hooks && flutter pub get
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/.
