jpmschweitzerandClaude 96c6cfc6c5 MultitabPane: keepAlive mode and tab strip polish
Adds keepAlive: when true, all entry bodies stay mounted via
IndexedStack so switching tabs doesn't tear down their state.
Hosts that own PTY-backed sessions or any long-lived widget
state opt in; callers that want fresh state on each switch use
the default single-body mode.

Polishes the tab strip itself for production use:
- bottom divider so the strip visually anchors to the body below
- Column.crossAxisAlignment.stretch so the strip fills the pane
  width instead of sizing to its content
- close button: replace the text × glyph with the CloseIcon
  painter (clean cross strokes, font-independent)
- two-column tab layout — Expanded title on the left, fixed
  16x16 close button on the right; uniform 12px left padding,
  6px right padding to match the 6px top/bottom breathing room
  around the close button

Two new widget tests cover keepAlive (state preserved across
switches) and default mode (inactive bodies disposed).

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 over SCM_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/.

Design doc: docs/initial-plan.md. Architectural decisions: decisions/.
