Root Makefile drives both the Go sidecar under sidecar/ and the Flutter app under app/ through one interface. Mirrors the pql/claudian pattern: VERSION read from project.yaml via awk and stamped into the sidecar binary via -ldflags -X, so the version the codebase claims to be and the version the binary reports cannot drift. Flutter targets (app-analyze, app-test, app-build-*) check for app/pubspec.yaml and flutter on PATH and gracefully noop when either is missing. That makes the Makefile usable today — before the app is scaffolded — without ceremony. ci/ scripts shell out to the Makefile so local dev and CI run the same commands. lint.sh includes the supply-chain gate (make security) so there is no version of "green lint, known-vulnerable dep" that CI accepts. make tools installs govulncheck, goimports, and golangci-lint at exact pinned versions — bump deliberately, never floating.

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.
