T-127: replace InProcessClient with socket loopback
Fourth slice of T-99. The UI's DaemonClient now talks to its own
IpcServer through the same per-workspace Unix socket the C `clide`
client uses — one transport, one wire contract, no second path
through the dispatch tree.

Changes:
* lib/kernel/src/ipc/in_process.dart deleted. Nothing imports it.
* DaemonClient.socketPath becomes mutable + new `reconnectAt(path)`
  method swaps an active client onto a different socket without
  restart. Project switch in main.dart uses it — the dispatcher
  + IpcServer are rebuilt for the new workspace, and the client
  reconnects to the new path.
* main.dart's daemonClientFactory now builds a real DaemonClient
  pointed at workspaceSocketPath(workRoot); swapIpcServer kicks
  off server.start() then client.start() in sequence.
* lib/test_app.dart's pane.spawn smoke test uses dispatcher.dispatch
  directly instead of InProcessClient — same coverage, no dead-end
  import.
* DaemonClient client_test gets a reconnectAt round-trip test.

T-128 (delete IsolateClient + Backend + backend_entry.dart) 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/).
  • PTYlib/src/pty/ spawns child processes via Dart FFI posix_openpt() + posix_spawn() directly; no external helper binary.
  • native/ — vendored native libraries (libtree-sitter.so with 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/.

Documentation

  • docs/architecture.md — current architecture (read this first).
  • CONTRIBUTING.md — how to clone, build, test, file tickets, and write D-records.
  • docs/initial-plan.md — historical design doc; preserved as a snapshot of the 2026-04 plan, much of it now superseded.
  • governance/decisions/ — confirmed decisions (D-NNN), open questions (Q-NNN), rejected alternatives (R-NNN).
  • CLAUDE.md — Claude-addressed working notes (guardrails, repo layout).
