The daemon dispatcher (pql, git, files, editor) was built once at boot against cwd and never updated. Opening a project from the welcome screen or directory picker had no effect on the daemon services — pql couldn't find its index, git operated on the wrong repo. Now onProjectOpen rebuilds the full dispatcher against the new workspace root and swaps it into the InProcessClient. The IPC client's dispatcher field is no longer final.

clide
A Flutter desktop IDE for Claude Code. 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/.
