Four layers under app/test/:
* kernel/, extension/ — unit tests for every kernel service and
the extension contract. i18n fallback chain gets the full
matrix (exact/lang/default/placeholder, namespace isolation,
unknown namespace, interpolation). Theme resolver and
extension-manager topo sort covered.
* widgets/, builtin/ — widget tests for every primitive and each
Tier 0 built-in. Assertions reach into the Semantics node so
a missing label fails structurally, not visually.
* goldens/ — Alchemist + Ahem font for cross-platform pixel
stability; primitives only (button, tab bar, icon set). No
goldens for compositions — they'd churn through every tier.
* a11y/ — contract-level gate: semantic coverage walks the
built-in catalogue, contrast walks every token pair in every
bundled theme against WCAG-AA thresholds (catches real
regressions: the first run caught `tab.inactive_text` at 2.81
in summer-night), i18n coverage asserts every referenced key
exists in its catalog (exists-in-map, not "key == value" — too
ambiguous for keys that happen to equal their translation).
Helpers under helpers/: `KernelFixture.create()` boots a
KernelServices with in-memory stores + a FakeDaemonClient (no
socket, drivable connected-state), `widget_harness` wraps a
widget in the minimum tree that resolves theme + i18n.

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.
