jpmschweitzerandClaude 9e340197d7 expand ClideTestApp with IPC, extension, and theme tests
Six improvements to the testmode harness:

1. Shell passthrough tests use the resolved shell instead of
   hardcoded /bin/zsh.
2. Exit code reflects test results (non-zero on any failure).
3. JSON summary line for machine-readable parsing.
4. IPC round-trip smoke (ping, version, unknown-cmd, encode/decode).
5. Extension lifecycle smoke (register + activate files, diff,
   git, terminal; theme loading for all four bundled themes).
6. Test categories via CLIDE_TESTMODE dart-define (toolchain, ipc,
   extensions, all). Makefile exposes TESTMODE_CATEGORY variable.

Also switches main.dart from bool.fromEnvironment to
String.fromEnvironment so category values other than "true" work.

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) and clide --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.
