The 2.3.1 fix (re-fetch the pql sidebars on ProjectOpened) only helped
the picker-first path, where the project opens after the window is up.
With sticky-startup the project opens during boot, before the panes
mount and subscribe, so they never received the event — the sidebars
stayed broken.
Root cause is a race in the IPC-server lifecycle. The boot factory fires
swapIpcServer(launchCwd) with unawaited(); the project-open flow then
fires swapIpcServer(repo). Each swap stops the live server, binds a new
one, and reconnects the daemon client. Unserialized, the two interleave
and the late-finishing boot swap can clobber the repo bind, reconnecting
the client to the launch-CWD (HOME) socket. The daemon's PqlClient (and
git/files) then run against the wrong workspace, so the first
pql.tickets.list hits a stale/global pql.db and errors
("ticket_deps.blocker_record_id missing — pql.db is from an earlier
schema"). A manual refresh worked because by then things had settled.
Chain every swap on a serialization Future so they apply in call order;
the repo swap is issued last and therefore wins. Kept the pane re-fetch
from 2.3.1 — it still covers genuine mid-session project switches.
Verified app boot is unaffected (test/app_test.dart green).

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/).- PTY —
lib/src/pty/spawns child processes via Dart FFIposix_openpt()+posix_spawn()directly; no external helper binary. native/— vendored native libraries (libtree-sitter.sowith 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) and pql
on the host. pql is a hard dependency — the pre-push gate runs pql decisions validate and the governance + ticket workflow is built on it (see its repo for
install). One-time setup:
make hooks && flutter pub get
pql init # once, in the repo root — wires up the pql skill + perms
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/.
