Eight unresolved doc references and broken README-rewritten links that surfaced under `dart doc --validate-links`: - Library-scope refs `[spawn]`, `[openProject]` qualified to `[Backend.spawn]` / `[Backend.openProject]`; same treatment for `[resolvePaths]` / `[applyResolved]` on Toolchain. - `[D-41]` was a decision ID, not a Dart symbol — drop the brackets. - `[from]` from I18n.interpolated qualified to `[I18nReplacer.from]`. - `[DefaultSurfaceMap]` was a stale name (private `_defaultSurfaceMap` in resolver.dart); switch to backticked path reference since dartdoc can't link private members. - `[icons/]` was a directory, not a symbol; backticked path. - README links to `legacy/`, `docs/initial-plan.md`, `decisions/`, `LICENSE` rewritten as absolute github.com/postmeridiem/clide URLs so dartdoc stops re-rooting them into the doc tree.

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.
lib/— all Dart code. Kernel services (theme, i18n, settings, panels, commands, focus), UI widgets, built-in extensions, and the extension contract.ptyc/— small C helper. Spawns a PTY + child and hands the master fd back overSCM_RIGHTS. Every pane (shell, tmux, claude, LSP, debug adapter) goes through it.- 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.
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-integration # real app boot integration tests
make build-linux # flutter build linux
make build-macos # flutter build macos
make ptyc-build # build the ptyc PTY-spawn helper
make push-check # pre-push gate: decisions + core + fast tests
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/.
