Flutter sidebar tab that lazy-loads the workspace tree via IPC
files.ls and refreshes subtrees on files.changed events. Click-to-
open routes through a future editor.open command; until Tier 2
registers it, the execute call no-ops gracefully.
Daemon side adds a new files subsystem:
- files.root returns the resolved workspace root (git root if
present, otherwise cwd)
- files.ls lists a directory with ignore filtering applied
- files.watch starts a recursive Directory.watch and fans
FileSystemEvents out as files.changed IPC events
- FilesService owns the watcher + ignore set lifecycle
IgnoreSet + IgnorePattern implement the common gitignore subset:
anchored (/foo), directory-only (foo/), negation (!foo), **
crossing dirs, ** at trailing position. Built-in layer hides clide-
owned dirs (.git, .pql, .clide, .dart_tool, build, node_modules);
.gitignore + .clideignore at the root layer on top per D-004. Full
multi-file ignore_files: layering from .pql/config.yaml is future
work.
11 new ignore-matcher tests + 5 files.* dispatcher tests.

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.
