# Changelog
All notable changes to clide are documented in this file.
The format follows [Keep a Changelog 1.1.0](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
This changelog tracks the Flutter rebuild at the repo root. The Python
Textual implementation's changelog is preserved under
[`legacy/CHANGELOG.md`](legacy/CHANGELOG.md).
Versions are tracked in [`pubspec.yaml`](pubspec.yaml) under `version:`,
which is the single source of truth. Cutting a release means (a) moving
the entries below from `## [Unreleased]` under a new dated version
heading, and (b) bumping `pubspec.yaml` `version:` in the same commit.
## [Unreleased]
## [2.3.0] — 2026-06-10
### Fixed
- **Tools like `pql` resolve when clide is launched from the desktop on Linux.**
A desktop launch inherits a minimal PATH without `~/.local/bin`, so the pql
pane (and other PATH-resolved tools) failed — the PATH expansion that fixes
this previously ran on macOS only. It now also runs on Linux. (T-347)
- **Consistent card font sizes in the Claude conversation.** Tool/result cards
and the Activity/run collapser cards now share the same header-label (14) and
collapsed-summary (13) sizes, so neighbouring cards in the stream no longer
render 12px apart. (T-344)
- **"Deny & simplify" no longer shows a loud red error.** A denial the user
deliberately chose (Deny & simplify) folds into a muted, collapsed "denied"
card instead of the prominent expanded-red block reserved for genuine tool
failures — which still render expanded. Driven by a reusable per-result
"quiet error" flag, not by matching the note text. (T-340)
- **Sub-agent prompts no longer render as a blue "you" card.** In live
(stream-json) sessions the spawning prompt is tagged with `parent_tool_use_id`,
not the transcript's `isSidechain`/`parentUuid`, so it slipped past the
sidechain fold. The parser now treats that field as a sidechain marker and
folds the prompt into its Agent card. (T-338)
### Added
- **Per-type filter chips on the tickets panel.** A row of toggle chips
(Initiative · Epic · Story · Task · Bug, large→small) below the filter box.
Click a chip to toggle that type; double-click to isolate it (chart-legend
solo); disabling the last one snaps all back on. ANDed with the text filter.
All on by default. (T-343)
- **VS Code keybinding preset.** A `vscode` keymap mapping VS Code's default
shortcuts (Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Shift+P, Ctrl+B, Ctrl+J, Ctrl+`, zoom, …) to clide.
Activate via the "Keymap: VS Code" command or `app.keymap.preset = vscode`. (T-64)
- **JetBrains keybinding preset.** A `jetbrains` keymap mapping IntelliJ's
defaults (Find Action, Go to File, tool windows, …). Double-Shift "Search
Everywhere" isn't expressible by the chord matcher yet (T-341), so Go to File
stands in for quick-open. (T-66)
- **Picking up a ticket now starts it.** Handing a ticket to a live Claude pane
(sidebar pick-up) also moves it to `in_progress` and refreshes the sidebar —
but only on acceptance and only from a not-yet-started status, so a pick-up
with no live pane is a quiet no-op and a re-pick-up never moves a ticket
backwards. (T-339)
- **Clickable file references in the Claude conversation.** Workspace file paths
mentioned by Claude — bare (`lib/app.dart`), with a line (`lib/app.dart:42`),
backticked, or as markdown links — are now clickable and open in the editor,
jumping to the line when present. Only paths that actually exist in the repo
linkify, so prose like version numbers stays literal. (T-300)
- **Hand a ticket to Claude from the sidebar.** Hovering a ticket card reveals a
run icon; clicking it hands the full ticket to the active Claude pane as a
"pick this up and start" prompt. Routed over the message bus, so the sidebar
stays decoupled from the session internals. (T-327)
- **Claude's task list is now visible, docked above the composer.** When Claude
is tracking a TodoWrite checklist, a compact display-only strip shows it pinned
above the input — collapsed to `N tasks · M done` + the current in-progress
item, expandable to the full list with per-item status glyphs. Hidden when
there are no tasks. (T-308)
- **A "Deny & simplify" option on the permission card.** A fourth button
(alongside Allow / Allow-and-remember / Deny) denies the action with a
preformatted note telling Claude it was too complex and to retry simpler —
without writing a memory or changing settings. A typed note is appended;
addressable by number key (4, or 3 without remember). (T-311)
### Fixed
- **Clicking outside the image in the lightbox now closes it.** Previously only
the thin margin dismissed — a click on the dimmed canvas beside a letterboxed
image hit the viewer and did nothing. A single tap outside the painted image
now closes it (matching Esc / the × button); tapping, dragging, or zooming the
image still doesn't. (T-309)
- **Run-status indicators no longer crash on rapid flips.** Switching status
back and forth within the 200ms cross-fade (e.g. running → success → running
across two bound Claude panes) tripped an AnimatedSwitcher duplicate-key
assertion and a cascade of follow-on errors. Each glyph now carries a key
unique per change, so an exiting and entering glyph never collide. (T-326)
- **The activity-card run-status spinner is now legible.** At 12px the spinning
logo mark read as a static speck; the run-status indicator on collapsible
cards is bumped to a `clideIconHero` (26) so the running state is clear at a
glance. The check / cross share the size, so the card doesn't jump on settle.
(T-304)
## [2.2.0] — 2026-06-10
### Added
- **`clide://` deep links open files, safely.**
`clide://open?path=/repo/file.dart&line=42` opens the file at that line (CI
links, error reports), routed through the CLI→IPC path into the running
window. As an untrusted external vector it's gated by a default-deny allowlist
(navigation only) and a confirmation prompt before any action. Registered on
Linux + macOS. (T-56, D-90)
- **Number keys pick prompt buttons (CLI muscle memory).** In a permission or
AskUserQuestion prompt, `1`/`2`/`3`… select the matching button or option
(labels are now numbered), and Enter confirms the primary action. Typing in a
note field is unaffected — digits only act while the card itself holds focus.
(T-240)
- **Links in the Claude conversation are clickable.** An http(s) link (typed or
autolinked) now opens in your default browser on click — with a hover
underline + pointer — across prose, lists, tables, and headings. Non-http
schemes stay inert. (T-253)
- **The activity-card fold level is now adjustable and persists.** A
`claude.activity.fold-level` command cycles how aggressively meta steps fold
(none → tools → thinking → everything); the choice is saved app-wide and the
Claude pane and team tiles re-fold live. (T-235)
- **Consecutive edits to one file fold into a single card.** A run of same-file
edits collapses to one `# edits` holder instead of a stack — every edit
reachable on expand; a different file or an interleaving step splits it. The
card shows an aggregate live status: a logo-mark spinner while editing,
settling to a check or cross. (T-296)
- **Collapse toggles in the status bar.** A small caret-line button bookends
each end of the bottom status bar — left collapses/expands the sidebar, right
the context pane. The chevron points inward to collapse, outward to expand,
and fires the existing `sidebar.collapse` / `context.collapse` commands
(`Ctrl+Shift+1` / `Ctrl+Shift+3`), so it's the mouse affordance for an
already keyboard/CLI-addressable action. (T-294)
- **Pasted images render inline in the Claude conversation.** A pasted-image
`@<path>` reference shows as a bounded thumbnail instead of the raw path;
clicking it (or Enter when focused) opens it in the lightbox. The composer's
attachment previews use the same larger thumbnail. A missing file degrades to
a placeholder; the sent text is unchanged. (T-236, T-254, D-89)
- **The editor honours `.editorconfig`.** Opening a file resolves the
workspace rules into a source-agnostic `EditorSettings` (own INI parser +
glob matcher, `root`/nearest-wins precedence — no new dependency). The editor
indents with Tab/Shift+Tab and draws a `max_line_length` ruler; saving applies
`end_of_line`, `trim_trailing_whitespace`, and `insert_final_newline`. Saving
the `.editorconfig` re-resolves open buffers live. (T-29)
- **Permission-mode control beside the Claude composer.** An icon-only,
per-mode-coloured button opens a menu of the safe modes (default ·
accept-edits · plan); `bypass` shows disabled. The status-bar mode is now a
passive colour-coded indicator — switching lives in the control and
`Ctrl/Cmd+M`. (T-275)
- **Clickable T/D/Q/R cross-refs in the Claude conversation.** Bare ticket and
governance references (`T-281`, `D-77`, `Q-5`, `R-2`) in rendered messages are
now links that open the record in its context-pane reader — tickets for `T-`,
decisions for `D`/`Q`/`R`. Refs inside code stay literal. (T-279)
- A Zed-style **application menu bar** in the hat — **File / View / Help**
menus built from custom widgets (no native menu, D-7), populated from the
command registry with inline keybindings. Full keyboard nav (`Alt`+mnemonic,
arrows, Enter, Esc). Help → About shows version + bundled licenses. `Ctrl+O`
and `Ctrl+Shift+N` are now real keybindings. (T-48)
- The sidebar/dock **filter boxes are now CLI-addressable** (D-6 parity): `clide
ui filter <address> <text>` drives a pane's filter as typing would, and `clide
ui filter <address>` reads it back. Addresses are box ids from `clide pane
list` (e.g. `decisions.panel`, `files.tree`). Routed through the MessageBus, so
a click and the CLI behave identically. (T-270)
- Click an inline image card to open it in a full-screen **lightbox** — zoom
(scroll/pinch), pan, double-click to reset, `Esc`/backdrop to dismiss — since
the cards are often too small to read. `clide image show <path> --fullscreen`
opens straight into it. The lightbox is a reusable `ClideLightbox` primitive.
(T-252)
- A bottom **output dock**: toggle it from a status-bar widget (or `⌘J`/`Ctrl+J`)
to see logs (Output) and diagnostics (Problems) as tabs — filterable by
source/level/text, auto-scrolling. The status widget doubles as a health
badge (green `` clean, ``/`` counts otherwise) and replaces the old
app-status item; Problems moved here from the sidebar. (T-54, D-87)
- External MCP clients (Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, …) can now drive clide: the
MCP server exposes the full `mcp__clide__*` tool surface, generated from the
command registry that already feeds the CLI + palette (D-86), with a
per-command opt-out. The two `/ide` tools remain stubs. (T-225)
- `clide events --since <cursor> [--filter X]` reads events after a cursor and
returns them plus a next-cursor — the pull-based complement to the
`tail --events` stream, made for agent poll loops. Reports `gap: true` when
the cursor has aged out of the in-memory ring (D-85). (T-223)
- "Install 'clide' command in PATH" command (`clide.installCli`) copies the
bundled C client to `~/.local/bin`, VS Code style. On launch clide warns when
`clide` is missing from PATH or points at the GUI bundle instead of the CLI
client. (T-212)
- `clide ui open diff <path>` reveals the diff in a split above the Claude
conversation, scrolls to that file and highlights its header — the
diff-panel arm of `ui open`. Workspace tabs other than Claude/editor now
reveal alongside the conversation with a close affordance (T-233).
- Image cards in the Claude conversation log: `clide image show <path>
[--caption …]` renders an image inline (PNG/JPG/JPEG/GIF/WebP/BMP),
clide-owned and display-only (D-78). The path is resolved workspace-relative
and must exist; the verb registers in the dispatcher so it shows up in `clide
capabilities`. (T-249)
- `clide capabilities` lists the live command surface as JSON (every verb with
its subsystem + argument schema), reflected from the dispatcher so it never
drifts. A new `/clide` skill points Claude at it for discovery. (T-248)
- Toast notifications for operation feedback: non-modal cards slide in
bottom-right, auto-dismiss (errors linger), stack, and are manually
dismissable, with success/warning/error/info severities. Components raise
them by publishing to the kernel MessageBus — git push/pull show the first
ones. (T-50)
- `clide ui toast "message" [--severity …] [--duration MS]` raises a toast in
the live GUI from the CLI — so an agent or script can surface "done/failed"
on your screen. The drive-half complement to the toast system. (T-245)
- Claude pane folds runs of tool calls/results into a collapsible "activity
card" so prose isn't buried: collapsed by default with a live one-line ticker
+ step count, click/Enter to expand. Claude prose, user messages, and failed
results stay first-class; diffs and thinking stay visible at the default
level. (T-230)
- Theme switcher in the status bar: a far-right control showing the current
theme that opens a popover to switch live — click or keyboard (arrows/Enter,
Esc to dismiss). The `theme.pick` palette command is unchanged. (T-234)
- Catppuccin Mocha theme, plus a high-contrast `catppuccin-mocha-hc` sibling,
added to the bundled themes — switchable from the theme picker. Faithful to
the official palette (D-69). (T-82)
- `clide ui open <reader> <id|path>` opens a doc in a GUI reader from the CLI —
`tickets`/`decisions` by id, `markdown` by path — so an agent can surface what
it's looking at on your screen. The drive-half complement to `clide status`. (T-231)
- Cycle Claude's permission mode from the primary pane: Ctrl/Cmd+M while the
composer is focused, a clickable mode badge in the status line, or the
"Claude: Cycle permission mode" palette command — steps default → accept-edits
→ plan (bypass stays behind the cockpit's confirm). (T-226)
- `clide status` — a one-shot orientation snapshot for agents: workspace, git
summary, active editor buffer + selection, viewed reader docs, the live panes
the user sees, and the layout. Previously an unknown command (exit 3). (T-221)
- `clide pane list` now reflects the live GUI tabs the user sees (Claude, Files,
Editor, viewers) alongside PTY panes — each with a stable id, slot, title, and
active/visible state — by snapshotting the kernel panel layout at request time.
Restores the D-6 "agent sees what the user sees" half of parity. (T-219, D-83)
- Click empty Claude-pane area to focus the composer: a tap on conversation
dead space lands the cursor in the input. Message controls and transcript
text-selection are unaffected, and it stays inert while a prompt occupies the
interaction zone. (T-227)
- Claude composer prompt history (Claude-CLI-style): Up recalls previously-sent
prompts once the caret reaches the first line, Down steps back to newer ones
and restores your in-progress draft past the newest. Per session. (T-163)
- clide-hosted Claude sessions are now bootstrapped to drive the IDE: each
spawned session gets `CLIDE_SOCK`/`CLIDE_WORKSPACE` in its env and `clide` on
its PATH, a system-prompt note telling it it is inside clide and how to use
`clide …`, and a `Bash(clide:*)` allow rule so those calls aren't prompted.
Applies to primary, secondary, fork, and teammate sessions. (T-214, D-83)
- The `clide` CLI now ships on PATH: `make build` and `make install` compile
the C client by default, and `make install` places it at `~/.local/bin/clide`
on Linux and macOS (the GUI launches via its desktop entry). Previously no
build produced the client and `install` symlinked the GUI runner. (T-209)
- Vim keymap preset: a modal editor (normal/insert/visual) with hjkl/w/b/e
motions, dd/dw/x/D/yy/p/cc/cw edits, counts (`5j`), visual-range d/y/c, and
a status-bar mode indicator. Switch presets from the palette (`Keymap: Vim`
/ `Keymap: Default`). Built on a new keymap key-sequence layer (D-82). (T-65)
- Search-and-replace across the workspace: enter a replacement in the search
panel to preview each rewritten line, then Replace all (regex capture groups
supported). Guarded by a clean-git-tree gate — git is the undo — and a
confirmation. New `search.replace` command (preview + apply). (T-53)
- Find-in-files sidebar panel (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+F): search the workspace with
regex and case toggles plus include/exclude globs; results stream in grouped
by file and clicking a match opens the editor at that line. (T-52)
- Workspace content-search engine with `search.grep` / `search.cancel` commands:
a pure-Dart, isolate-parallel grep (literal or regex, case + include/exclude
glob filters) that streams matches and honours the `ignore_files:` chain. The
engine is in-process — no ripgrep dependency (D-79). (T-52)
- `editor.open` accepts an optional 1-based `line` to position the initial
selection on open (backs find-in-files click-to-line). (T-52)
- Quick-open file finder (Ctrl/Cmd+P): a fuzzy file picker overlay over the
whole workspace, separate from the command palette. Empty query lists recent
files; Enter opens `.md` in the markdown reader and other files in the editor.
(T-51)
- Workspace ignore now follows the `ignore_files:` list in `.pql/config.yaml`
(ordered, later-wins, per D-4) instead of a hardcoded `.gitignore` +
`.clideignore` pair — the single ignore knob clide owns. (T-52)
- `files.walk` command — a recursive, ignore-pruned, capped flat file listing
of the workspace, backing quick-open and search. (T-51, T-52)
- Sidebar readers (markdown, decision, ticket) gain chrome: a pin/unpin toggle
before the title (separate from navigation), plus a right-hand navigator
(back, forward, jump-to-pin) and edit pencil. The ticket reader also joins the
shared retained nav. (T-189, T-190, T-191, T-198, T-199)
### Changed
- **Every tool use is now a collapsible card** on one `ClideCollapserCard`
primitive — activity / edit / sub-agent runs and each tool call (single = a
one-item list). The collapsed ticker shows the label + echoed last line + a
fixed-width count; the status tick hugs the right edge, the chevron the left;
`color` drives the border + label. (T-305)
- The Claude composer's **slash typeahead**, the team-chat **@-mention** list,
and the status-bar **theme switcher** now ride the shared
`ClideAnchoredOverlay` + `ClideMenu` popover primitive, alongside the menu
bar. The @-mention list gains full keyboard nav (arrows/Enter), and both
typeaheads narrow live as you type. (T-286, D-88)
- Ticket cards now show parentage as a small **tree** — the parent as a muted,
clickable breadcrumb above and the card's own ticket **bold** under a ``
connector — instead of the ambiguous inline `T-1 ← T-9` arrow. (T-281)
- The in-flight **turn indicator** ("Pondering…") now renders in Claude's
coral-orange brand accent instead of muted grey. (T-273)
- A **sub-agent's prose and thinking** are now attributed to the **`agent`** (a
muted stripe), not the main-thread coral **`claude`** — so a sub-agent's
output is no longer presented as if the main Claude said it. Main-thread items
are unchanged. (T-265)
- A **sub-agent's whole run** — prose, thinking, and tool calls — now nests in
an **`agent run` holder under its Agent card** instead of spilling loose into
the main thread. It attaches via `parentUuid` (correct for parallel agents),
and the redundant returned-result is no longer shown twice. (T-264)
- The folded **activity card** now reads as one **container wrapping its
sub-cards**, and you can collapse it by clicking anywhere on the holder's own
background — not a top header that scrolls out of reach as a run streams. Taps
on a sub-card (and its copy button) still hit that card; a focusable caret
keeps the control keyboard/AT reachable. (T-266)
- A **sub-agent prompt** is no longer mislabelled as your input: a sidechain
prompt now reads as a muted **`agent prompt`** (never the blue `you`) and folds
into its **Agent/Task card**, collapsed by default. The prompt attaches to the
right card via `parentUuid`, so parallel agents in one turn stay correctly
paired. The sub-agent's work stays visible after the call. (T-263)
- A successful tool call now renders as **one merged card** instead of a
separate call + result pair: a green check sits at the header's right edge and
the output folds in as a colorized code block (Read → file grammar, Bash →
shell) revealed on expand. Failures keep their prominent red card, now with a
matching header mark. (T-262)
- The in-flight turn indicator now feels alive: instead of a static gray
`running…`, it shows a rotating curated status verb (`Pondering…`,
`Conjuring…`, …) with an animated ellipsis. Respects reduced-motion (static
verb) and keeps a stable a11y label. (T-255)
- The `clide` CLI launch check now distinguishes a dev-tree build
(`native/<plat>/clide`) from a packaged install — surfaced as an info note on
a checkout rather than treated as a clean install or prompting a reinstall.
(T-256)
- Command palette (⌘⇧P) now fuzzy-matches command titles (subsequence, not
just substring) and floats recently-used commands to the top. (T-23)
- ⌘K now opens a **Settings** modal instead of a theme-only picker. Its first
(currently only) section is Appearance — base themes, sorted, with a High
contrast toggle for `-hc` siblings — matching the status-bar switcher. (T-238)
- The pql search panel merged into the Search tab, which now has modes: Find
(content grep), Vault (pql ranked search), Query (PQL DSL), and Markdown (the
synced file listing). The standalone pql sidebar tab is gone; Backlinks stays
in the context panel. (T-201)
### Fixed
- **Tab strips get a hairline of breathing room.** The tab strip (Claude session
tabs, slot tabs) butted flush against the chrome above it, reading as cramped;
it now sits 1px below, the pane surface showing through the gap. (T-324)
- **Re-showing an image after it changes on disk now refreshes.** Image cards,
thumbnails, the lightbox, and `clide image show` keyed Flutter's image cache by
path alone, so overwriting a file in place showed the stale render. A new
`ClideFileImage` folds mtime + size into the key, so an in-place change
re-decodes. (T-312)
- **The `context` / `thinking` / agent-prompt blocks are now carded like the
rest.** These muted meta blocks rendered frameless, reading as unfinished
`> context …` rows between the framed tool cards. They now sit in a bordered
card — still muted, collapsed by default, with a first-line summary and a left
chevron. (T-306)
- **Numpad digits now pick permission/question options too.** The prompt card's
number-key shortcuts only matched the top number row; numpad `1`-`9` now map to
the same 1-9 selection, so the keypad works for Allow/Deny and question options.
The note-field guard still lets digits type normally when a note is focused.
(T-310)
- **The composer no longer jams against the window bottom when the status bar
is hidden.** With the bar gone, the bottom-most pane content used to run flush
into the window's resize-drag edge; the layout now reserves that edge so the
input box bottom-anchors consistently whether or not the status bar shows.
(T-298)
- **Open Workspace no longer spews `GLib-GIO-CRITICAL` to the console.** The
folder picker now uses the portal-backed `GtkFileChooserNative` (out-of-process
in sandboxed/Flatpak builds), and a narrowly-scoped GLib log filter swallows the
known-benign `g_file_info_get_size … without standard::size` message GTK's
file-chooser sidebar emits internally on every pick — every other GLib-GIO
critical still surfaces. (T-287)
- **The conversation re-anchors when the input area resizes.** Opening a
permission prompt or AskUserQuestion (which grows the bottom zone, D-78) no
longer hides the last message behind it — when pinned to the tail, the view
re-scrolls to keep it visible; a scrolled-up reader is left undisturbed.
(T-297)
- **The chosen theme now persists across restarts**, per repo. Picking a theme
(status-bar switcher or Settings) writes it to the repo's
`.clide/settings.yaml` (and a global default), and reopening the repo restores
it — including the high-contrast variant. A removed theme falls back to the
default instead of resetting silently. (T-293)
- Folded activity and agent-run cards in the Claude conversation now use the
same bottom spacing as the prose cards around them, instead of sitting
cramped 3px below the next card. (T-282)
- The welcome screen no longer overflows on a short or narrow window — its
content scrolls when it can't fit and stays centred when it can, and a long
git-branch name on a recent-project row now truncates with an ellipsis. (T-273)
- Bordered conversation cards (tool / Agent calls) now use the same interior
vertical padding (8) as the stripe cards, so a collapsed tool/Agent card no
longer reads chunkier — taller box, more trailing space — than its
neighbours in the conversation log. (T-282)
- Conversation cards no longer **mis-associate their state** when the message
list reshapes as a tool result streams in. The list items now carry stable
per-item keys, so a card you expanded (or its hover/cluster state) stays
pinned to its own message instead of jumping to a neighbour when a read/write
completes and folds its result in. (T-285)
- The status-bar footer marquee now **honours reduced motion**: when the OS
reduce-motion setting (`MediaQuery.disableAnimations`) is on, a long status
line no longer scrolls — it renders statically (clipped) — matching the turn
indicator, which already obeyed the flag. Unifies the two animations on one
mechanism and removes a `pumpAndSettle` hang the perpetual ticker caused.
(T-284)
- Switching the workspace in place (Open Project/Folder) now rebinds the Claude
pane to the new repo's session instead of keeping the previous repo's
conversation, and drops the old repo's secondary tabs. Separate windows were
already isolated — this only affected reusing one window for another repo.
(T-269)
- `/clear` in the primary Claude pane now clears that session **in place** —
it empties the pane's deterministic, restart-stable session instead of
starting a throwaway random one. Previously a cleared primary was orphaned:
the next launch re-resolved to the deterministic id and resumed the
pre-clear conversation, so the clear silently didn't stick. Secondary panes
keep their fresh-session behaviour. (T-268)
- In Vim mode, Esc in insert/visual mode returns to normal mode instead of
closing the editor. The global "exit focus / close editor" Esc binding now
stands down while Vim is in insert or visual mode. (T-257)
- The permission-mode badge and Ctrl/Cmd+M now visibly cycle the mode in the
status line. The mode was changed on the session but never reflected back, so
both looked dead. (T-250)
- Recent-project rows (welcome screen and the project switcher) now ellipsize a
long path instead of overflowing the row — a long repo path no longer spills
past the edge. (T-122)
- CLI commands that take arguments now work: `clide editor open <path>`,
`clide files read <path>`, `clide pane focus <id>` / `resize <id> <c> <r>`,
etc. now bind positional/flag argv to the handler's named args (they
previously returned "X is required" from the CLI). (T-232)
- The Claude composer no longer loses a half-typed message when the UI changes
under it — e.g. a permission prompt taking the composer's place. The draft
(text and caret) is kept per session and restored when the composer returns.
(T-228)
- File watcher no longer emits change events for files inside ignored
directories (`.dart_tool/`, `build/`, etc.): it now checks ancestor dirs,
not just the leaf. Most visible on macOS, where FSEvents delivers the nested
creates that inotify usually drops.
- The Claude sidebar's Activity / Team / Config sub-tabs are now keyboard-
activatable: they were pointer-only (raw `GestureDetector`), so Tab traversal
skipped them and Enter/Space did nothing. They now use `ClideTappable`
(focusable, Enter/Space → activate) and carry button + selected semantics.
(T-182)
- The default keymap is no longer silently disabled at startup: `default.yaml`
bound Tab/Shift+Tab to undefined `focus.next`/`focus.previous` intents, which
made the loader drop the entire preset (palette, quick-open, find-in-files,
zoom). Those are now real focus-traversal intents, and a test parses every
shipped preset so a typo fails CI instead. (T-204)
- Opening the editor split no longer floods exceptions: the resize handle's
slider semantics now carry increased/decreased values, and the Claude pane
keeps a stable identity across the reparent so its text-selection region
isn't torn down mid-update. (T-203)
- A `rate_limit_event` whose `resetsAt` is a numeric epoch no longer crashes the
Claude session — it was cast as a string. (T-202)
- Filter/search inputs show their hint as visible placeholder text, and the
search-glass icon is now optional — so the Search tab's Find fields (search,
replace, include/exclude globs) are distinguishable instead of four identical
empty boxes. (T-201)
- The sidebar icon rail no longer overflows when there are more tabs than fit:
it centers the icons when they fit and scrolls horizontally otherwise. (T-200)
- The editor pane now opens over the Claude pane when a file is opened — the
reader's edit pencil, a file-tree click, or a decision's edit all reveal the
editor tab now (it was contributed but never activated). (T-197)
- Clicking a decision opens it on the first click. The right-pane readers
(markdown + decisions) now share a retained back/forward nav history that
survives the tab switch, so the selection that reveals a reader is no longer
lost before the widget subscribes; back/forward re-emit through that history.
(T-196)
- The markdown reader can now open user-scope Claude config files (skills /
agents / commands under `~/.claude`), not just repo-local ones. `files.read`
gained a read allow-list covering the workspace plus the trusted Claude config
roots; writes stay repo-confined and off-root paths are still rejected. (T-195,
D-80)
- The markdown reader opens files given an absolute path again (e.g. a skill's
`SKILL.md` from the Claude Config tab). `resolveUnderRoot` no longer doubles an
absolute path onto the workspace root; absolute-under-root resolves, while
paths outside the root are still rejected. (T-194)
- The composer slash typeahead now lists clide-owned commands — `/resume` and
`/fork` (and `/clear`) surface even though the CLI probe doesn't advertise
them, unioned onto whatever command source the composer uses. (T-162)
- Clicking a decision opens it in the decision reader again — the decisions
extension no longer tears down and re-contributes its panel tab on every
selection; it activates a static tab and reveals the panel like the ticket
panel. (T-188)
- Clicking a markdown file opens it in the right-side markdown reader again —
the files panel, the Claude Config tab, and wiki `.md` links now publish to
the reader instead of the editor. (T-187)
- A forked Claude session now reports its real session id (captured from the
branch's `init` event) instead of the placeholder it was spawned with, so a
fork can itself be resumed/forked. (T-185)
- Claude replies now stream token-by-token. The `--include-partial-messages`
output arrives as `stream_event` deltas (not `assistant`+`partial:true` as
first assumed), so the previous handler never fired; the session now reads the
real shape, growing a placeholder in place and finalizing it from the matching
`assistant` event. (T-184)
- Claude conversation card actions (copy + custom) are now keyboard-focusable
and always reachable — revealed on hover or focus, activatable by Tab +
Enter/Space, with Semantics labels for assistive tech (T-174).
- Status bar no longer overflows when the focused-pane context line is long
— the in-pane slot now takes a flexible share of the bar and marquee-scrolls
within it instead of pushing the row past its width.
- Write/Edit permission cards no longer print the file path twice — the
description line is suppressed when it just repeats `file_path`.
- Resumed Claude session no longer starts with an empty pane — `claude
--resume` carries Claude's prior context but emits no past turns over
stream-json, so the orchestrator now seeds the conversation by reading
the tail (up to 256 KB) of the transcript JSONL on disk.
### Changed
- Claude conversation tool cards are now typed — Edit/Write render a diff,
Bash shows the command and its output, Read/Grep show the file/query, and
each tool result pairs back to its call to render the diff or error in
place instead of an indented JSON dump (T-168).
- Claude status line reflects live session state from stream-json events —
model, permission mode, context size, and turn cost come straight off the
init/result events rather than a separate config probe (T-168).
- Claude session persistence now rides on `claude --resume` instead of tmux
(T-167, amends D-41). A restart resumes the primary session, `/clear`
starts a fresh one, and `/resume` reopens a picked session — all without
tmux.
- Permission prompt cards render the tool input in the shape that fits the
tool — Bash shows the command as a shell code block (with a footer for
`run_in_background` / `timeout`), Write shows the path plus the content
highlighted from its extension, Edit shows the path plus before/after
blocks. Unknown tools fall back to the indented-JSON dump.
- Claude meta sidebar is now tabbed — Activity / Team / Config (T-182).
Activity shows usage stats plus the primary session's live runtime; Team
holds the roster and auto-fronts when a team spawns; Config shows the
environment settings table. Activity and Config share one table geometry so
switching doesn't jump.
### Removed
- tmux is no longer used for Claude sessions (T-167) — the tmux session
lifecycle and the tmux-polling team observer are gone, replaced by the
managed-session orchestrator. tmux is still used for the general-purpose
terminal pane.
### Added
- Claude team cockpit — the meta sidebar's Team tab gains live controls for
clide-managed agents: show/hide, mute, close, and inject-a-message per
roster row, plus a live shared task list with reassign. Each action has a
matching `clide` command (D-6 parity). (T-171, D-77)
- Per-agent permission-mode badge in the cockpit roster — click cycles the
safe trio default → acceptEdits → plan and sends `set_permission_mode` to
that session; Shift-click reaches `bypassPermissions` behind a confirm.
The badge reflects the live mode. (T-181, D-77)
- Fork a Claude conversation into a new pane — `/fork` (or a roster Fork
button / `clide.agent.fork`) branches a session via `--resume … --fork-session`,
opening an independent continuation that leaves the original untouched. (T-172, D-77)
- Team chat inbox — broker traffic renders as a chat timeline (colour-coded
sender chips), in a compact cockpit widget that pops out to a full pane. The
user is a first-class participant: post with `@name` routing (or broadcast),
with an interrupt tickbox that cancels the target's turn before delivery. (T-180, D-77)
- Config sidebar tab — a pinned settings table plus expandable, never-truncated
sections for skills / agents / commands / hooks / permissions (colour-coded by
kind) / MCP servers; file-backed entries open their `.md` in the reader. ClaudeConfig
now also surfaces agents, hooks, MCP servers, and file paths. (T-183, D-76)
- Team coordination broker (T-170, D-77) — clide hosts an in-process MCP
server (`clide-team`) for managed sessions over the stream-json control
channel, giving agents tools to message each other, broadcast, see the
roster, read an inbox, and share a task list. Each agent's role and the
roster are injected into its system prompt.
- Interrupt a running Claude turn (D-78) — Escape in the composer (when no
typeahead is open) or a Stop button shown while busy cancels the current
turn over the stream-json control channel. The escape hatch from a
runaway turn.
- Native permission & AskUserQuestion prompts (T-166, T-175, T-176, T-179,
D-78) — the composer becomes a prompt: Allow / Allow-and-don't-ask-again /
Deny showing the command, or an AskUserQuestion option picker (single or
stepped, with "Other" free-text and per-choice notes). Closes the tmux
prompt gap.
- Conversation message cards (T-173) — every turn in the Claude pane now
renders through one card template with a copy button on hover and a
collapse/expand caret for tool calls, results, and thinking.
- Collapsed-by-default tool cards (T-177) — multi-line tool calls and
results start collapsed behind a one-line summary; one-line output stays
inline so a caret never hides a single line.
- Prompted tool calls are quieter in the log (T-179) — a permission request
shows the command in the prompt, not as a raw tool-use card; once decided
it collapses to a one-line summary with a green (approved) or red (denied)
border, and the result is kept. AskUserQuestion's tool-use + result are
replaced by the logged answer.
- Harness-injected messages are de-emphasized (T-178) — skill loads,
slash-command expansions, and system reminders (Claude's `isSynthetic`
messages) render as a muted, collapsed "context" card instead of a blue
"you" message, since they weren't typed by the user.
- Claude meta sidebar (T-141, T-157) — an always-pickable left-panel tab
showing Claude activity (the latest day's messages/sessions/tool-calls
plus lifetime totals, from `stats-cache.json`) and, when a tmux team is
running, a roster of its members (colour · name · agent type · model)
with each member's live permission-mode and context once it's active.
- Claude session storage view (T-148) — the `claude.session-storage`
command opens a modal listing the workspace's session transcripts with
their on-disk sizes and a total, each removable with a two-click
confirm. User-driven only; clide never deletes transcripts on its own.
- Slash-command typeahead in the Claude composer (T-152) — typing `/`
(anywhere in the message, not just at the start) pops a list of
matching commands and skills sourced from the Claude environment;
arrow keys move, Enter/Tab completes, Escape dismisses.
- Claude environment service (T-151) — clide reads skills, commands,
settings, and permissions from `~/.claude` and the repo's `.claude`
(layered), and caches the slash-command list per claude version. Backs
the typeahead and command-aware send.
- Per-session status in the bottom status bar (T-145, T-150, T-154) — the
active Claude pane shows its model · permission mode (accept-edits /
plan / …) · context-token count · configured skills count, swapping to
the focused pane on tab switch and clearing on blur. Long status text
marquee-scrolls within the slot.
- tmux agent teams surface as native teammate tiles (T-139, T-140) —
when a Claude team is running, each teammate shows as a live
conversation tile beside the lead in a grid that wraps 1→2→3 columns,
with a resizable split. Identity and lifecycle come from the team
config; per-teammate content streams over the MessageBus.
- Native composer in the Claude pane (T-138) — type below the
conversation and press Enter to send (Shift+Enter for a newline).
Submits via the tmux server (bracketed paste + Enter), so input
reaches Claude even when no tmux client is attached; multi-line goes
as one message.
- File and image paste in the composer (T-138, T-142) — Ctrl/Cmd+V of a
copied file or clipboard image adds a removable chip (image thumbnail
or file icon) above the input; on send its `@path` is appended to the
message. Plain text pastes inline. Backed by a native `clide/clipboard`
channel (GTK + macOS).
- Claude pane renders natively from the transcript (T-137, D-75) — the
conversation shows as native cards (user / assistant markdown /
thinking / tool-use / result) instead of a terminal, with text
selection + copy across cards. Claude still runs in tmux; the terminal
builtin stays for general use.
- Multi-file editor tabs — the editor pane now shows one tab per open
buffer (filename + a dot when unsaved) via the shared tab strip;
opening a second file no longer replaces the first. Click a tab to
switch, × to close. Backed by the daemon's existing multi-buffer
model.
- Typed IPC command-schema framework (T-119/T-120, D-74) — commands
register an argument schema beside their handler; the dispatcher
normalises argv into named args, coerces types, and validates
(charset, leading-dash, ranges, caps) before the handler runs.
- `clide panel resize <slot>` CLI verb (T-119) — set an absolute size
with `--to` or nudge with `--by`; `editor` targets the split ratio.
Completes user/Claude parity (D-6) with T-111's keyboard resize.
- Unix-domain IPC socket server in the Flutter app (T-99 / T-124).
Per-workspace path (D-70: `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/clide/<hash>.sock` on
Linux, `~/Library/Caches/clide/<hash>.sock` on macOS). 0600 socket
+ 0700 parent (D-71). Multi-connection accept loop with serial
dispatch through `DaemonDispatcher` (D-72). Foundation for the C
`clide` client (T-126) and MCP (T-130). No client yet — testable
via `socat - UNIX-CONNECT:$SOCK`.
- argv→IpcRequest translator (`lib/src/cli/argv_to_request.dart`) —
parses `clide SUBSYSTEM VERB [pos...] [--flag] [-- passthrough]` and
the umbrella commands (`status`, `tail`, `version`, `ping`) per D-6
into the wire envelope. Pure Dart; lets the C client (T-126) stay a
dumb pipe (T-99 / T-125).
- `DaemonClient.reconnectAt(newPath)` — swap an active client onto a
different socket without restart (project switch in T-127).
- Event streaming over the IPC socket (T-99 / T-129) — `clide tail
--events [--filter X]` opens a long-lived subscription, replays up
to 16 recent matching events per subsystem (D-6), and streams new
ones as JSON lines. C client loops on `data.streaming` ack. Slow /
broken subscribers drop themselves without blocking the bus.
- MCP server over HTTP+SSE (T-99 / T-130, per D-68 / D-73). Localhost
HTTP listener advertises via `$HOME/.claude/ide/<pid>.lock` so
Claude Code's `/ide` discovers it. JSON-RPC 2.0 with the two
minimum `/ide` tools shipped as stubs
(`mcp__ide__getDiagnostics`, `mcp__ide__executeCode`); real
implementations follow.
- C `clide` shell client at `native/clide-cli/clide.c`. Walks CWD up
to the git root, hashes to the per-workspace socket (D-70), ships
argv. `make clide-cli` builds it; on PATH, `clide status` works
from any clide-workspace directory once the app is up (T-99,
T-126).
- Startup project picker — clide now opens to the welcome screen by
default instead of auto-opening the last project. A per-row
"always open this project on launch" checkbox in welcome's RECENT
list sets a sticky-startup flag; if exactly one project has it,
that one opens directly. Two or more, or none ⇒ picker (T-115).
- CONTRIBUTING.md "Running clide from the shell" section — documents
the shell verbs, exit-code contract per D-68, and Claude Code
`/ide` MCP discovery via `~/.claude/ide/<pid>.lock` (T-131).
### Changed
- The empty Claude pane now shows a native startup banner — clide logo,
session role, workspace, and tmux status — instead of a bare "Waiting
for Claude…" (T-149).
- User and Claude turns in the conversation now render as distinct
accent-striped cards over a filled background — your prompts in the
theme focus colour, Claude's replies in Claude's brand orange
(T-143, T-144).
- Claude conversation content now flows through the kernel MessageBus —
a reader tails the transcript and publishes items; the pane subscribes.
Decouples reading from rendering so the upcoming team panels can show
one lead plus a tile per teammate (T-137).
- In-process IPC dispatch swapped for socket loopback (T-127). The
Flutter UI's `DaemonClient` now talks to its own `IpcServer` over
the same per-workspace Unix socket the C `clide` client uses — one
transport, one contract.
- D-56 / D-68 amended with implementation notes — both decisions now
link out to T-99's eight slices (T-124T-131) and the D-70/71/72/73
records they spawned (T-131).
### Deprecated
### Removed
- `lib/kernel/src/ipc/in_process.dart` (`InProcessClient`) — replaced
by the socket-loopback `DaemonClient` (T-127).
- `lib/kernel/src/backend.dart`, `lib/kernel/src/backend_entry.dart`,
`lib/kernel/src/ipc/isolate_client.dart` — the third unused IPC
path (a backend-isolate model that was never wired through). Only
the socket model survives now (T-128).
### Fixed
- Claude pane is no longer dead-on-arrival when resuming a session (T-161).
The primary pane (and `/resume`) relaunched Claude with `--session-id
<existing-id>`, which Claude rejects as "already in use" — so the pane had
no live backend and typed input vanished. clide now uses `--resume` for an
existing session and `--session-id` only for a brand-new one.
- Claude pane no longer floods the console with "markNeedsBuild called
during build" (T-159) — a focused pane surfacing its status-bar widget
now defers the notification out of the build phase instead of rebuilding
the status item mid-build.
- The git / tickets / decisions / pql / problems tabs no longer log
`i18n: namespace not registered` on boot (T-155). An extension's
localized tab title is now loaded automatically on activation, and the
five missing catalogs were added.
- Slash commands sent from the Claude composer now actually run (T-153).
Recognised commands are delivered as typed input so Claude's TUI parses
them; other input (and stray leading slashes like a `/tmp` path) stays
bracketed-pasted as literal text.
- `/clear` is now handled by clide — it resets the Claude pane to a fresh,
empty session — instead of being forwarded to Claude Code, whose `/clear`
forked to a new session clide couldn't follow and left the pane
unresponsive (T-156).
- `/resume` is now handled by clide too (T-156): it opens a picker of the
workspace's past sessions — each labelled by its first … last user message
and when it was last active — and re-binds the pane to the chosen one,
instead of forwarding Claude Code's session-forking `/resume`.
- Claude secondary panes no longer flash a false "session exited" while
the session is alive (a transient tmux client exit is now verified
against the live session), and the tab and banner agree on the label
("session N") (T-149).
- Claude pane no longer gets stuck on "Waiting for Claude…" when its
session can't be bound (T-147) — e.g. a session left over from before
session-id binding, or a fresh machine. It now retires that stale
clide session and starts a clean one. Only clide's own `-L clide`
sessions are touched (never a terminal Claude, never transcript files).
- Secondary Claude tabs showed the primary's conversation instead of
their own (T-146). Each pane now binds to its own session via
`claude --session-id`, so concurrent sessions in one workspace stop
colliding on the newest transcript — the primary keeps a stable id
(resumes), secondaries get a fresh one (clean session).
- Claude pane no longer freezes the app on open — the transcript reader
caps its initial read to the recent tail, parses off the UI isolate,
and coalesces view notifications into one rebuild per burst (T-137).
- Daemon-not-connected on startup — panels and the Claude pane raced
the socket loopback. Requests now wait briefly for an in-flight
connection, the server isn't restarted for the same workspace, and
the client connects once instead of twice.
### Security
## [2.1.0] — 2026-05-18
### Added
- Contrast gate split — baseline `canonicalPairs` every theme passes,
strict `extendedPairs` (muted/status/syntax/focus-border) gated to
`-hc` / `-cb` variants. Ships `clide-hc`, `midnight-hc`, `paper-hc`,
`terminal-hc` siblings of the named themes (D-69, T-114, T-118).
- Pre-push coverage gate — `make push-check` runs `ci/coverage_gate.sh`,
which fails if total line coverage drops below `coverage_floor:` in
`pubspec.yaml`. Floor ratchets up only; target 95% (D-66).
- Pre-push changelog gate — `ci/changelog_gate.sh` fails on any
`## [Unreleased]` bullet over 60 words. Enforces the Keep-a-Changelog
conciseness rule in the git-commit skill.
- Keymap layer (`KeymapService`) — typed Intents, YAML presets,
VS-Code-style when-clauses, layered preset → user file → settings
overlay. Default preset ships; vim/vscode/jetbrains unblocked
(T-117, supersedes T-110).
- Keyboard operability — `ClideTappable` is now Tab-focusable with a
focus ring and Enter/Space activation; `ClidePalette` adds arrow
nav, Escape dismiss, and selection highlight (T-100).
- Panel-to-panel focus traversal — each `SlotHost` wraps in a
`FocusScope` + `FocusTraversalGroup`; `F6` / `Shift+F6` cycle
sidebar → workspace → context. `FocusTracker` integrates with
Flutter focus rather than paralleling it (T-105).
- Event-driven test waits — PTY + watcher tests await stream events
instead of fixed sleeps; `onTimeout` callbacks now `fail()` loudly
with diagnostic context. `RecordingEventSink` exposes a broadcast
stream for the same pattern (T-108).
- Code-quality cleanups — `TreeSitterLib` exposes a last-error
diagnostic instead of swallowing dlopen failures; `ExtensionManager`
surfaces a `failedExtensions` map for UI degradation; PTY constants
consolidated in `libc.dart` + `PosixErrno`; `test_app.dart` gated
behind `kDebugMode` (T-112).
- Test sweep — `keybindings`, `toolchain_paths`, and several
`widgets/src/` primitives (tooltip, palette, multitab, markdown).
- `tree_sitter_service` sweep — fake-FFI + real-library smoke,
17% → 96%. Crosses the 95% global target (T-91).
- Staged `dart doc` CI job — generates and uploads an HTML API
reference for the public `lib/` surface. The step wraps
`dart doc --validate-links` and grep-fails the build on any warning.
Inert with the rest of the workflow until Gitea Actions activates.
- Mouse wheel scrolling in Claude pane — converts scroll events to
PgUp/PgDown so TUI apps scroll their history naturally.
- Welcome screen Tips card — six common keybindings shown below the
START / RECENT row when the viewport is tall enough.
- `MultitabPane` widget + `MultitabController` for panes that host
N runtime tab instances of the same kind. Generic over a payload
type, supports pinned/non-closeable tabs, drag-reorder, close × on
hover, and an optional `+` add button.
- `MultitabPane.keepAlive` mode — entry bodies stay mounted via
IndexedStack so switching tabs preserves their state (PTY
connections, scroll position, etc.).
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` — human-addressed contributor guide covering
clone / build / test / DQR / tickets / commit conventions. The
`[Unreleased]` section is reorganised to one subsection per kind
per Keep a Changelog 1.1.0 (T-109).
- `make verify` — no-tests sweep (analyze + format + decisions +
changelog gate). For mid-edit checks; `make push-check` stays the
full pre-push pipeline.
### Changed
- Terminal mouse wheel forwards as proper xterm wheel-button escapes
when the inner program declares a mouse mode (?1000h / ?1002h /
?1003h, optionally +?1006h SGR). Falls back to PgUp/PgDown only
when no mouse mode is active. vim mouse=a / htop / less mouse modes
now react to the wheel (T-74).
- `lib/src/terminal/` cleaned to the project bar — commented-out
`print()` debugging stubs stripped from `custom_text_edit.dart`,
stale TODOs in `parser.dart` + `keytab.dart` replaced with clear
"not implemented" notes (G2/G3 charsets, VT52 records), and the
one `// ignore: invalid_use_of_protected_member` in
`terminal_view.dart` gets an inline reason explaining why
TerminalView owns its own ShortcutManager. Parser split deferred
to T-123 (T-107).
- Window-control close-button red, white close glyph, and palette
ambient shadow are now tokens (`windowControl.closeHover*`,
`shadow.ambient`) instead of hard-coded hex. Light themes get a
softer ink-tinted shadow (T-114).
- Text-zoom (Ctrl +/-/0) is now a kernel `TextZoom` service and shows
up in the palette as `View: Zoom In/Out/Reset Zoom` (T-114).
- `make gen-build-info` bakes `lib/src/build_info.g.dart` (name,
tagline, version, repository, commit, date) and rewrites
`assets/licenses.yaml` `self.version:` from `pubspec.yaml` on every
build/run/test target. Welcome banner / status line / window title
/ project switcher labels all read from those constants — one
source of truth, no manual sync, no `--dart-define` plumbing.
New `tagline:` field in pubspec for the short user-facing line
(welcome subtitle, future web meta).
- Panel splitters (sidebar / context / editor-split) are tab-focusable;
arrow keys nudge by 10 px, Shift+arrow by 50 px (2% / 10% for the
editor split). Exposed as slider Semantics nodes so screen readers
announce the current size. CLI verb deferred to T-99 (T-111).
- Changelog gate is binary — dropped the soft 40-word warning, kept
the 60-word hard cap. Warnings that never blocked just normalised
drift.
- PTY spawning uses `posix_openpt` + `posix_spawn` instead of
`forkpty` — closes a ~5% deadlock window in the multithreaded Dart
VM (T-96, D-5 amended). Missing exe/cwd now throw `PtyException` at
spawn time. Drops the `libutil.so.1` dependency.
- Coverage floor ratcheted to 95% — D-66 target hit.
- `TreeSitterService` and `TreeSitterLib` accept injectable FFI + asset
loaders for fake-driven tests; production paths unchanged.
- Tidied test imports flagged by `unnecessary_import`.
- `README.md` rewritten to match current architecture;
`docs/initial-plan.md` bannered as historical; new
`docs/architecture.md` describes today's shape (T-101).
- `SchedulerService._stopTicker` now awaits the in-flight isolate spawn
before killing — closes the same race shape we fixed in PTY (T-106).
- `make push-check-full` added — runs `push-check` plus integration +
smoke for pre-release checks. Integration tests skip the hanging
theme_picker case until that's fixed (T-103, T-116).
- Governance bookkeeping: D-66 amended (floor at `coverage_floor:` in
`pubspec.yaml`); `licenses.yaml` reconciled with `pubspec.yaml`;
Q-1/Q-2/Q-3/Q-25 triaged; `.claude/skills/README.md` inventory
added; `--no-fatal-infos` dropped from `ci/test.sh` (T-113).
- Terminal panes render bold attributes with a real bold weight —
bundled JetBrainsMono Bold + BoldItalic registered with the
`JetBrainsMono` family at `weight: 700`. The painter's bold
suppression workaround is gone.
- Claude pane uses `MultitabPane` for primary + secondaries — drops
~100 lines of bespoke tab-strip code, gains drag-to-reorder.
- UI spacing constants live in `lib/widgets/src/spacing.dart` —
`clideInset*` for paddings, `clideGap*` for sibling distances,
`clideIcon*` / `clideControlHeight` for control sizes.
- Tagline reads "IDE for Claude Code CLI" everywhere (welcome
subtitle, README, CLAUDE.md, pubspec, web manifest, CLI banner).
- Inline terminal emulator based on xterm.dart v4.0.0 — replaces the
pub.dev dependency with owned code under `lib/src/terminal/`. Drops
three transitive dependencies (xterm, quiver, zmodem).
- Bundle clide-specific tmux.conf for Claude pane sessions: no status
bar, 50k scrollback, mouse on, zero escape delay, isolated socket.
- Claude pane spawns `claude` directly inside tmux with
`CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1` to enable Claude's fullscreen TUI mode.
- PTY read buffer increased from 4 KB to 64 KB.
- Terminal view 2 px padding on all sides.
### Removed
- **`bin/clide.dart` + `DaemonServer`** — completing the D-56
dissolution. The separate daemon process was dissolved on 2026-04-23
but the entry point and socket server class were never deleted.
Gone now, along with orphaned tests, stale i18n strings, and
"start `clide --daemon`" error messages.
- **`ptyc/` source tree + `PtySession` + `scm_rights.dart`** — PTY
spawning migrated to Dart FFI `forkpty()` (`NativePty`) but the old
C helper and its Dart wiring were never cleaned up. Removed from
toolchain resolution, `ToolCheck` gate, backend serialization,
testmode harness, CI scripts, Makefile, and sandbox entitlements.
D-5 amended to record the retirement.
- CI golden images (`test/goldens/goldens/ci/`) — Skia anti-aliasing
of geometric shapes differs between macOS and Linux even with the
Ahem font. Replaced with platform-keyed goldens (`goldens/linux/`,
`goldens/macos/`).
- Bold JetBrains Mono font registration that prevented glyph-width
mismatch in terminal rendering — superseded by the Bold/BoldItalic
re-registration above.
### Fixed
- Welcome status line no longer overflows on narrow viewports —
whole-row `FittedBox(scaleDown)` instead of fixed sibling widths.
Inline `fontSize:` literals replaced with the typography
constants. Version label reads `clideVersion` so the status line
stays in sync with `pubspec.yaml` (T-116).
- Integration test `theme_picker_test.dart` no longer deadlocks —
was `await`ing `services.commands.execute('theme.pick')` whose
Future doesn't complete until the dialog is dismissed. Now
fire-and-forget around `pumpAndSettle` (T-116).
- `TerminalView.onTapUp` now actually fires on primary tap — was
wired to a dead code path (T-93). Dead `onTapUp` surface on
`TerminalGestureHandler` / `TerminalGestureDetector` removed.
- `BufferLine.eraseRange` no longer panics when called with `end == 0`.
Real trigger: `Terminal.eraseDisplayAbove` with the cursor at
column 0 — common after `ESC[H\x1b[1J` (home + erase-above).
- Terminal selections no longer vanish when resizing narrower —
reflow's tail-anchor handler left anchors detached past the
trimmed range. Common triggers: Ctrl+A then resize, drag past a
partially-filled line (T-92).
- `BufferLine.removeCells` / `insertCells` / `dispose` no longer skip
anchors due to concurrent list modification during iteration —
iteration now snapshots the list first (T-91).
- Closing a secondary Claude pane tab now kills its tmux session on
the clide socket, honouring D-41's lifecycle. Previously
`pane.close` only killed the ptyc-spawned tmux client.
- Cold-start reap: every clide launch kills any leftover secondary
tmux sessions for the current repo before spawning new ones, so
D-41's "secondary numbering resets between runs" holds.
- `claude.kill-all-sessions` command now actually kills the
server-side tmux sessions for the repo, not just the panes.
- Terminal cell grid no longer drifts on bold text — bold rendering
is suppressed at the painter level since synthetic bold (with no
Bold.ttf registered) shifts glyph advance widths.
- PTY surfaces errno on `forkpty` / `write` / `ioctl` failures
instead of swallowing. `execve` failures write a diagnostic to the
slave before `_exit`. `NativePty.write` and `PtySession.write`
loop on short writes; both throw `PtyException` on hard errors.
- PTY teardown order fixed — kill child first so the master fd
returns EOF, await reader isolate exit, then close the fd.
- Reader isolate spawn errors in `NativePty` / `PtySession` are now
surfaced via the output stream instead of silently dropped.
`_recvFdAsync` no longer leaks the `ReceivePort` on spawn throw.
- IPC server hardening: per-request 60s timeout (configurable),
broadcast/response write failures logged instead of swallowed,
client dropped on response-write failure, and the stale-socket
retry now probes for a live daemon before unlinking the socket.
- `pane.spawn` and `editor.open` map POSIX errno values to actionable
IPC error kinds (ENOENT → `not_found`, EACCES/EPERM → `user_error`,
EISDIR/ENOTDIR/EEXIST → distinct kinds, EMFILE/ENFILE →
`tool_error` with an fd-limit hint).
### Security
- IPC: `git.checkout`, `git.push` reject branch/remote args starting
with `-` (closes the `--upload-pack=...` argv-injection vector).
`files.read` rejects files over 10 MB. `git.log` caps `count` at
1000; `git.diff` / `git.stage` cap paths at 256 (T-104).
- Toolchain no longer resolves the dugite git binary against the open
workspace — a malicious repo could plant `native/dugite/bin/git`
and clide would run it on auto-fired `git.status`. Dugite now
resolves against the install dir + `CLIDE_DUGITE_DIR` env override
only (T-98).
- `files.read` and `files.ls` reject symlinks whose targets live
outside the workspace — closes a path-safety bypass via in-repo
symlinks (T-102).
- `files.read` and `files.ls` reject paths that resolve outside the
workspace root. Previously a relative path containing `..` could
read arbitrary files via path traversal.
## [2.0.0] — 2026-05-03
### Fixed
- PTY FFI constants now platform-dispatched: `TIOCSWINSZ` (`0x80087467`
macOS / `0x5414` Linux), `O_NONBLOCK` (`0x0004` / `0x0800`), and
`MsghdrDarwin` struct with correct 4-byte field widths for macOS
`recvmsg()`.
- App settings directory uses `~/Library/Application Support/clide` on
macOS instead of `~/.config/clide`.
- Removed hardcoded `TERMINFO=/usr/share/terminfo` from pane spawn
environment — let the system resolve terminfo per platform.
- Panel `tabsFor()` now sorts by contribution priority when no user
order is set.
### Changed
- Canonical upstream moved from Gitea to GitHub
(`github.com/postmeridiem/clide`).
- README rewritten to reflect current single-process Flutter
architecture, built-in extensions, and build commands.
- Renamed desktop binary from `clide_app` to `clide` (Linux + macOS).
- macOS app icon uses the black-circle variant matching the Linux
desktop icon.
- ClideTestApp expanded to three test categories (toolchain, ipc,
extensions) with JSON summary, non-zero exit on failure, and
`make run-testmode TESTMODE_CATEGORY=<cat>` for selective runs.
### Added
- `make install` / `make uninstall` — builds the release bundle and
installs it to `~/.local/` with XDG desktop entry, icon registration
at seven sizes, and icon cache refresh. macOS installs to
`~/Applications/clide.app`.
- Backend isolate — all subprocess and file I/O runs in a dedicated
isolate, keeping the merged UI/platform thread on macOS free for
rendering. Communicates via SendPort using the existing IPC protocol.
Two-phase boot: resolve toolchain on spawn, initialize services on
project open. Scheduler ticker only runs while a project is active.
- Toolchain — centralized binary resolution replacing five ad-hoc
mechanisms. Resolves git, pql, tmux, ptyc, shell once at boot via
background isolate. Status bar reads `toolchain.missing` directly.
- GitClient — typed Dart API wrapping all git operations. Every
subprocess call goes through `_run()` with toolchain-resolved path
and environment. Replaces scattered `Process.run('git', ...)` calls.
- Native directory picker — macOS NSOpenPanel via method channel in
AppDelegate, GTK file chooser on Linux. Falls back to text-input
dialog on web. Shows "No git repo found" dialog on invalid selection.
- macOS desktop target — OS-detecting Makefile (`make run` works on
macOS/Linux/Windows), 1280x720 default window, squared app icons,
sandbox entitlements with SBPL exceptions, `_DARWIN_C_SOURCE` for
ptyc compilation, native traffic dots skipped (macOS titlebar owns
them), expanded PATH for Homebrew and `~/.local/bin` on GUI apps.
- Shared ClideFilterBox widget with search icon, clear button, and
debounced input. Applied consistently across all sidebar panes:
Files (path filter with flat results), Git (filter staged/unstaged
by path), Decisions (filter by ID/title/domain), Tickets (filter
by ID/title/status), Problems (filter by source/message), and
pql Query (replaces custom input).
- Interaction model from Wireframe Flows v3: eight new D-records
(D-47 through D-54) and five Q-records (Q-26 through Q-30)
codifying layout invariants, chrome budget, editor mode, context
auto-behavior, collapse spine, focus mode, state persistence, and
the canonical keyboard map.
- Panel collapse spine — collapsed side panels render as a 12px
vertical spine with rotated label, hover highlight, and badge dot
for pending context (D-51, T-30).
- Focus mode — `Ctrl+.` takes the active panel full-window;
`Escape` restores the prior layout with collapse states and
divider positions intact (D-52, T-31).
- Canonical keyboard shortcuts from the interaction model: collapse
toggles (`Ctrl+Shift+1/3`), panel focus (`Ctrl+1/2/3`), sidebar
section switching (`Alt+15`), focus mode, and `Escape` dismiss
(D-54, T-33).
- Right panel (context) icon rail — bottom section switcher matching
the left sidebar rail pattern (D-47, T-34).
- Editor-above-Claude mode — `Ctrl+E` opens the editor as a split
above Claude in the middle column with a draggable divider;
`Ctrl+W` or `Escape` closes it. Prompt bar Y stays fixed
(D-49, T-35).
- Layout state persists across sessions — collapse state, sidebar
and context panel sizes, active sections, and editor split ratio
saved to `.clide/settings.yaml` (D-53, T-32).
- Phosphor Icons font (v2.0.8, MIT) — regular, bold, and fill
weights. Replaces hand-painted CustomPaint icons in sidebar and
context panel icon rails.
- Decisions panel in sidebar — lists confirmed D-records from
`pql decisions list` with ID and title (T-37).
- Tickets panel in sidebar — lists tickets from `pql ticket list`
with status dot color-coded by state (T-37).
- Markdown viewer in context panel — shows raw content of the
active .md file, auto-updating on buffer switch (T-38).
- Clickable DQRT record links in markdown — `[D-56]`, `[T-43]` etc.
rendered as tappable links that navigate to the decision or ticket
detail pane via the message bus.
- Ctrl+Plus / Ctrl+Minus / Ctrl+0 text zoom (5% steps, 60%200%
range) via `MediaQuery.textScaler`. Resets on app restart.
- Sidebar focus indicators — selecting a ticket or decision
highlights the active card in the sidebar list, auto-expands the
accordion section if collapsed, and scrolls the card into view.
- Typography scale constants `clideFontSmall` (12) and
`clideFontBadge` (11) for sidebar metadata and status badges.
`clideLineHeight` (1.25) applied app-wide via `DefaultTextStyle`.
- `files.read` IPC command for reading file content by path.
- pql sidebar restructured: Search tab is the default left tab with
ranked text search (debounced, scored results with score bar) and
a DSL toggle for raw PQL query mode; Markdown tab (filtered to
`.md` files) on the right. Clicking a result opens it in the
context panel markdown viewer with bidirectional focus highlighting.
- Kernel scheduler service with tiered timers (1min, 10min, 15min,
1hr, midnight) running on a background isolate. Emits `SchedulerTick`
events on the `DaemonBus`. Extensions subscribe by tier (T-61).
- Auto-refresh for sidebar panels: decisions refresh on file changes
to `decisions/*.md` and on 1-minute scheduler tick; tickets refresh
on 1-minute tick and on status change events (T-62).
- Manual refresh button (arrowClockwise icon) in decisions, tickets,
and pql markdown panels (T-63).
- `ClideAccordion` shared widget — extracted from tickets and
decisions views. Supports optional `leading` widget (color dot).
Pin/focus accordion logic: manually toggled sections are pinned;
the focused item's section auto-opens; unpinned sections without
focus auto-collapse.
- Ticket status buttons wired to `pql ticket status` — clicking a
status in the detail view transitions the ticket, refreshes the
sidebar list, and scrolls the ticket into its new section.
- `pql.tickets.status` IPC command accepting a list of IDs for
batch status transitions.
- Ticket sidebar sections split into individual statuses: IN
PROGRESS, REVIEW, READY, BACKLOG, DONE, CANCELLED (was four
coarse groups).
- Phosphor Icons codepoint reference CSV at
`assets/fonts/phosphor/codepoints.csv` — full mapping of all
1512 icon glyphs to kebab-case and PascalCase names.
- Graph view in context panel — lists files with inbound/outbound
link counts from `pql search --connections` (T-39).
- Welcome screen redesigned as full-screen overlay with two-column
layout: START actions (open folder, clone, Claude session) with
keyboard shortcuts, and RECENT projects list showing path, branch,
and relative timestamps. Status line shows version, daemon
connection, and active theme.
- Recent projects history persisted to user settings (up to 10
entries with path, branch, and last-opened timestamp). Last
project auto-restored on boot; falls back to cwd, then welcome.
### Changed
- Workspace renders Claude as the always-visible primary surface
instead of showing a tab bar (D-47, D-48). The editor is a
split overlay, not a tab.
- Syntax highlighting via tree-sitter (dart:ffi to vendored
libtree-sitter.so with embedded wasmtime). 48 grammar WASM files,
48 highlight queries. Colors map to theme syntax tokens.
- ClideMarkdown renderer — inline grouping for tight list items,
proper HTML entity unescaping after AST parse, Josefin Sans Light
with 1.25 line height, 16px body text. Inline code sized to
`clideFontMono` to match surrounding text weight.
- Default sidebar and context panel widths widened to 400px and
420px respectively (previous maximums). Context panel max raised
to 1000px.
- Ticket detail loading uses `pql ticket show --with-context` for
a single-call fetch of ancestors, decisions, and children.
Replaces N+1 parent-chain walk. `--with-decision` and
`--with-children` flags consolidated into `--with-context`.
- Ticket descriptions render through ClideMarkdown instead of plain
text, with clickable DQRT record links.
- Decision detail view subscribes to the message bus for navigation
(same pattern as tickets), enabling navigation from any source.
- TreeSitterService is now a shared singleton — eliminates native
double-free crashes from multiple WASM engine instances.
- Code block syntax highlighting fixes overlapping tree-sitter spans
that caused duplicated text (e.g. `makemake` instead of `make`).
- Context panel drag resize fixed — dragging left now correctly
grows the right panel instead of shrinking it.
- POLICY.md — project-wide rules for runtime behavior, dependency
vetting, vendored binary management, telemetry, and licensing.
### Changed
- Line length set to 160 across .editorconfig and dart formatter.
- Core frame vs shipped extension boundary defined (D-46). Builtins
are frame infrastructure only; content extensions are bundled but
architecturally removable.
### Removed
- `builtin.jira` stub — Jira integration belongs as a third-party
extension, not a frame builtin.
- `wasm_run` and `wasm_run_flutter` dependencies — replaced by
vendored libtree-sitter.so via dart:ffi. Eliminates runtime network
download that violated POLICY.md.
### Added
- pql skill installed via `pql init --with-skill=yes`
(`.claude/skills/pql/SKILL.md`). Covers vault queries and the
planning surface (decisions + tickets).
- `Bash(pql)` and `Bash(pql *)` permissions in
`.claude/settings.json`.
- pql daemon subsystem (`lib/src/pql/`). `PqlClient` wraps the pql
CLI per D-3. IPC verbs `pql.files | meta | backlinks | outlinks
| tags | schema | query | doctor | decisions.sync | decisions.list
| decisions.show | decisions.coverage | tickets.list | tickets.show
| tickets.board | plan.status`. 15 new core tests.
- `builtin.pql` — sidebar panel with four views: Files (pql-indexed
file listing), Query (PQL DSL input + results), Decisions (synced
D/Q/R records colour-coded by type), Tickets (kanban board columns).
Context panel tab showing backlinks + outlinks for the active file,
auto-refreshing on `editor.active-changed` events.
- `builtin.problems` — sidebar panel aggregating diagnostics from
`pql.doctor` and `pql.decisions.sync`. Surfaces missing index DB,
stale skill installs, and broken decision cross-references with
actionable hints.
- Git subsystem in the daemon (`lib/src/git/`). Status parser
(`git status --porcelain`), unified-diff parser, and operations
(stage, unstage, stage-hunk, discard, commit, stash, log, pull,
push). IPC verbs `git.status | diff | stage | stage-all | unstage
| stage-hunk | unstage-hunk | discard | commit | stash | stash-pop
| log | pull | push` with `git.changed` events on mutations.
42 new core tests cover parsing, operations, and dispatcher
round-trips.
- `clide git …` CLI shortcuts: `git status`, `git diff [--staged]`,
`git stage <paths>`, `git stage-all`, `git unstage`, `git discard`,
`git commit "<msg>"`, `git log [--count N]`, `git stash`,
`git stash-pop`, `git pull`, `git push`.
- `builtin.git` — sidebar panel showing staged, unstaged, untracked,
and conflicted file groups. Per-file stage/unstage/discard on hover.
Inline commit message input with Commit button. Branch + ahead/behind
display with Pull/Push actions. Auto-refreshes on `git.changed`
events.
- `builtin.diff` — workspace tab rendering unified diffs with
old/new line numbers, addition/removal colouring, and binary/rename
metadata. Staged/Unstaged toggle toolbar. Auto-refreshes on
`git.changed` events.
- `builtin.editor` — Tier-2 editor tab wired up. Contributes a
single `Editor` workspace tab that renders the daemon's active
buffer via a new `EditorController`. Hydrates on mount
(`editor.active` → `editor.read`), subscribes to
`editor.opened | active-changed | edited | saved | closed`, and
propagates user edits back through `editor.set-content`. Small
echo-suppression guard avoids clobbering the caret when the
daemon's authoritative edit echo comes back. Text surface is
Flutter's `EditableText` primitive — no `TextField` / Material —
so the D-7 "no Material root" stance carries into the editor;
JetBrainsMono via the shared `clideMonoFamily` constants, cursor
+ selection colours bind to the theme.
- File-tree click in `builtin.files` now opens the clicked file in
the editor via `ipc.request('editor.open', {path})`. No local
command hop — the dispatch goes straight to the daemon and the
UI reconciles through the `editor.active-changed` event.
- CLI shortcuts per CLAUDE.md's Tier-2 list: `clide open <path>`,
`clide active`, `clide insert <text | ->`, `clide replace-selection
<text | ->`, `clide save`, `clide tail --events [--filter
SUBSYSTEM[:ID]]`. A lone `-` on insert / replace-selection reads
text from stdin (pipe-friendly). `tail` reads the event-broadcast
stream and prints JSON lines until SIGINT; `--filter` narrows by
subsystem or subsystem+id. 5 new end-to-end CLI tests spin up real
daemon subprocesses via a per-test `CLIDE_SOCKET_PATH` override (new
env knob on `defaultSocketPath`) so tests run in parallel without
colliding.
- Editor subsystem in the daemon (`lib/src/editor/`). `EditorBuffer`
holds path + content + cursor/selection + dirty flag;
`EditorRegistry` owns the open-buffer set, active-buffer tracking,
and file I/O. IPC verbs land alongside (`editor.open | active |
activate | list | read | insert | replace-selection | set-selection
| set-content | save | close`) with matching events (`editor.opened
| active-changed | selection-changed | edited | saved | closed`).
Omitting `id` on mutating verbs targets the active buffer so the
tier-2 CLI shortcuts (`clide insert "…"`, `clide replace-selection
"…"`) read naturally. 16 new core tests cover the lifecycle +
dispatcher round-trips.
- `builtin.claude` — Tier-1 stub upgraded to the real Claude pane per
D-41. Contributes a primary `Claude` tab in the workspace slot that
spawns `tmux new-session -A -s clide-claude-<hash> -- claude` via
IPC `pane.spawn`, with `<hash>` derived from the git root path so
reopening the app re-attaches to the running conversation. Primary
has no close affordance; closing the tab doesn't kill the session.
Command `claude.new-secondary` is registered for the palette wiring
that's coming next. If tmux isn't on PATH, falls back to spawning
`claude` directly and surfaces "no-tmux · fresh every launch" in
the header subtitle. Accompanied by D-41 in
[`decisions/architecture.md`](decisions/architecture.md#d-41-claude-panes-one-primary-per-repo-tmux-backed).
- `builtin.files` — workspace filesystem panel in the sidebar. Lazy
tree rooted at the git root, expand/collapse, click-to-open plumbed
to a future `editor.open` command. Backed by a new daemon-side
`files.*` IPC subsystem (`files.root`, `files.ls`, `files.watch`)
and a `FileWatcher` that wraps `Directory.watch(recursive: true)`
with ignore-file filtering. Ignore set composes clide's built-in
hide list (`.git/`, `.pql/`, `.clide/`, `.dart_tool/`, `build/`,
`node_modules/`) with `.gitignore` / `.clideignore` at the root per
D-4. `IgnoreSet` + `IgnorePattern` support line-per-pattern, `#`
comments, anchored / directory-only / negated forms, and `**` across
directories. 11 new unit tests on the matcher; 5 new dispatcher
tests; 171 app tests still green.
- `builtin.terminal` — general-purpose terminal pane, Tier-1 stub
upgraded to a working implementation. Contributes a `Terminal` tab
in the workspace slot that spawns `$SHELL -l` via IPC
`pane.spawn`, streams `pane.output` events into `xterm.dart`, and
routes user input through `pane.write`. Resize propagates via
`pane.resize` on viewport change. `initState` → spawn;
`dispose` → `pane.close`. Error-state surface for "daemon not
connected" / "shell exited." No Claude-specific behaviour — that
lives in `builtin.claude` + D-41.
- Shared pane widgets under `app/lib/widgets/`: `ClidePtyView` wraps
`xterm.dart` with clide-theme token bindings, JetBrains Mono as the
face, and a Semantics live-region wrapper; `ClidePaneChrome` is the
reusable title strip + optional close button. Consumers of the new
widgets (`builtin.terminal`, `builtin.claude`) drive the xterm
`Terminal` model and route bytes through IPC `pane.write` /
`pane.output` events themselves — the widgets are rendering only,
no IPC coupling.
- `xterm: 4.0.0` Dart dependency on the Flutter app — MIT, listed in
`licenses.yaml` per D-42. Hand-rolling a VT100 / xterm / truecolour
parser + renderer would be weeks for no fidelity win.
- `Q-23` — open question on SSH-remote development (run clide against
a workspace on another host). Local-first stays the Tier-1 target;
this records the constraint so the daemon / IPC / extension seams
don't unknowingly accrete local-only assumptions.
- IPC `pane` subsystem in the daemon (per D-6). Commands:
`pane.spawn | list | focus | close | write | resize | tail`. Events:
`pane.spawned`, `pane.output` (base64-framed), `pane.exit`,
`pane.resized`, `pane.focused`, `pane.closed`. `PaneRegistry` owns
per-pane `PtySession` lifecycles + id generation (`p_N`); a
`DaemonEventSink` seam lets handlers emit events without depending
on the IPC server package. `DaemonServer.broadcast()` fans events
out to every connected client (a later pass adds per-client
`--filter` scoping). Panes carry a `kind:` field — `terminal` today,
`claude` ready for step 7. Covered by 14 new Dart core tests
exercising the real registry + dispatcher against the `ptyc` helper.
- `PtySession` in the Dart core (`lib/src/pty/`) — spawns a child
under a PTY via the `ptyc` supporter tool, receives the master fd
over `SCM_RIGHTS`, and exposes a byte stream, write, resize, and
kill. A background isolate loops on blocking `read(fd)` and posts
chunks to the main isolate. `close()` sends SIGTERM to the child
so the PTY's EOF wakes the isolate cleanly, then falls through to
SIGKILL + fd close + isolate kill as a safety net. Child env is
built via `mergePtyEnv()` which stamps clide's true-colour defaults
(`TERM=xterm-256color`, `COLORTERM=truecolor`, `CLICOLOR_FORCE=1`).
Test coverage: echo round-trip, cat write/readback, env stamping
verification, idempotent close.
- `ffi: 2.1.3` as a runtime dependency on the Dart core — justified
in `pubspec.yaml` + documented in `licenses.yaml` per D-42. Used
by `lib/src/pty/ffi/` for `socketpair`, `recvmsg` with `SCM_RIGHTS`,
`read`/`write` on raw fds, and `ioctl(TIOCSWINSZ)`.
- `ci/test_core.sh` + `make test-core` — runs the Flutter-free core
Dart tests (`test/`) under a 120s hard timeout with process-group
cleanup. Wired into `push-check` ahead of the app test suite so a
hung PTY test can't block the pre-push gate.
- Josefin Sans bundled as `app/assets/fonts/josefin_sans/` as the
application UI face — variable-font pair (upright + italic, weight
range 100-700), OFL-licensed. Declared as the `JosefinSans` family
in `app/pubspec.yaml`. `_AppRoot` installs it as the ambient
`DefaultTextStyle` at weight `w300` (Light) per the project's
aesthetic direction; callers can still pass an explicit
`fontWeight` on `ClideText` to get bolder emphasis.
- JetBrains Mono bundled as `app/assets/fonts/jetbrains_mono/` —
Regular / Italic / Bold / BoldItalic weights (OFL-licensed,
license file checked in alongside). Declared as the `JetBrainsMono`
family in `app/pubspec.yaml`. `app/lib/widgets/src/typography.dart`
exposes `clideUiFamily` + `clideMonoFamily` plus platform-ordered
fallback chains for both faces, for web builds and harnesses that
don't load asset fonts.
- `app/assets/licenses.yaml` — canonical manifest of every bundled
third-party artefact (fonts today; Dart packages + native tools as
they land). Schema has name, kind, version, homepage, license,
`license_file` pointer, and a one-line purpose. Bundled alongside
the per-dep license texts. The About screen (Tier 6) will render
this file verbatim. Accompanied by
[`D-42`](decisions/tooling.md#d-42-bundled-dependencies-documented-in-licensesyaml):
adding a dep is a two-step commit (artefact + `licenses.yaml`
entry in the same changeset).
### Changed
- CLAUDE.md "Dependencies & supply chain" section gains the
"document every bundled dependency" rule, pointing at
`app/assets/licenses.yaml` and `D-42`.
- `ptyc/` — the C PTY-spawn helper, peer of `pql` per
[`D-5`](decisions/architecture.md#d-5-dart-core-sidecar-dissolved-ptyc-as-pql-peer).
One-shot, libc-only, ~400 LOC. Reads a JSON request on stdin
(`argv`, optional `cwd`/`env`/`cols`/`rows`), does
`posix_openpt` + `fork` + `execvp`, and hands the master fd back
to the caller over a unix socket via `SCM_RIGHTS`. Socket fd
defaults to 3; override via `PTYC_SOCK_FD` for language runtimes
that shuffle pipe fds through the low numbers (Python's
`subprocess` with `stdout=PIPE` does this). Exec-failure pipe
(CLOEXEC) reports child-side errors to the parent without leaking
zombies. Root Makefile gains `ptyc-test` target in addition to
`ptyc-build` / `ptyc-clean`.
- Migrated the `docs/ADRs/` content into `decisions/` as D/R records:
ADR 0001 → `D-1`, ADR 0002 → `R-2` (superseded by `D-5`), ADR
0003 → `D-3`, ADR 0004 → `D-4`, ADR 0005 → `D-5`, ADR 0006 →
`D-6`. Titles preserved; ADR 0006's trailing open questions moved
to `questions-architecture.md` as `Q-1` / `Q-2` / `Q-3`. The
originals are preserved in git history.
- `decisions/` at the repo root — Q&D record system ported from
settled-reach and adapted for clide's domains. Confirmed decisions
(`D-NNN`) live under domain files (`architecture.md`, `extensions.md`,
`accessibility.md`, `testing.md`, `tooling.md`, `process.md`); open
questions (`Q-NNN`) live under parallel `questions-<domain>.md`;
rejected alternatives (`R-NNN`) live in `rejected.md`. Record shape,
claiming rules, and the eventual pql-side tooling plan are documented
in `decisions/README.md`. Migration of the existing `docs/ADRs/` into
these files lands in a follow-up commit.
- `DECISIONS.md` one-line pointer at the repo root (matches
settled-reach's convention).
- `tools/scripts/plan` — Python stopgap entrypoint for `decisions`
and `ticket` subcommands, writing to `.pql/pql.db` (gitignored).
Supports `decisions sync | validate | claim | list | show | coverage`
and `ticket new | list | show | status | assign | team | block |
unblock | label | search | board`, plus `sqlite-query`. Verb shape
and output format mirror the eventual `pql` subcommands so migration
when pql ships feature parity is a call-site find-replace
(`tools/scripts/plan ` → `pql `). Ported from settled-reach with
the Scrum layer stripped; ticket IDs are `T-NNN` (TEXT PKs) and
there's no `sprints` table. Time-limited per
[`D-40`](decisions/process.md#d-40-python-stopgap-under-toolsscriptsplan)
/ [`R-11`](decisions/rejected.md#r-11-permanent-stopgap).
- `make decisions-validate` — cheap parser dry-run wired into
`push-check`. Catches malformed records before push.
- Reserved extension slots — `builtin.decisions`, `builtin.tickets`,
`builtin.claude-control`. Id-reserving stubs under
`app/lib/builtin/` with no contributions yet. Implementations land
once [`Q-21`](decisions/questions-architecture.md#q-21-pql-absorbs-planning-vs-keeps-separate)
resolves (decisions + tickets) or when the claude-control tier
arrives (`.claude/` first-class surface — distinct from the
existing `builtin.claude` PTY-pane stub).
- `CLAUDE.md` — new "Decision discipline" guardrail pointing at
`decisions/`.
### Changed
- `CLAUDE.md` — inline ADR links rewritten to point at the migrated
`decisions/` records; bottom "Open questions" section collapsed to
a pointer at `decisions/questions-*.md`; parent-project note
updated to reference `decisions/architecture.md` instead of the
deleted `docs/ADRs/`.
- `make decisions-validate` rewired from `tools/scripts/plan` to
`pql decisions validate`.
- Decision discipline guardrail in CLAUDE.md now points at
`pql decisions claim` instead of the Python stopgap.
### Removed
- `tools/scripts/plan` — Python stopgap planning scripts, superseded
by `pql` 1.0 native `decisions` and `ticket` subcommands. Sunset
condition from
[`D-40`](decisions/process.md#d-40-python-stopgap-under-toolsscriptsplan)
met; deletion per
[`R-11`](decisions/rejected.md#r-11-permanent-stopgap).
### Removed
- `docs/ADRs/` directory — content lifted into `decisions/` as D/R
records (see Added above). Originals preserved in git history.
- Go sidecar skeleton under `sidecar/` — `cmd/clide/main.go`, `go.mod`, and the `internal/*` packages (`cli`, `daemon`, `diag`, `git`, `ipc`, `pql`, `proc`, `pty`, `version`). Deleted wholesale per [ADR 0005](docs/ADRs/0005-dart-core-ptyc-peer.md): the "sidecar language: Go" premise no longer holds once the core is Dart. All functionality listed for those packages will be reimplemented under `lib/` as part of Tier 0.
- Go-specific Makefile targets (`lint`, `vuln`, `test-race`, `fmt`, `tidy`, `snapshot`, `tools`, `install` via Go), the `govulncheck`/`goimports`/`golangci-lint` version pins, and the pre-push hook's `GOBIN` PATH injection. Replaced with Dart/Flutter equivalents (`analyze`, `format`, `test`, `test-integration`, `build` via `dart compile exe`).
- `module:` and `go_version:` from `pubspec.yaml` — single-language core means no Go module path to track.
### Changed
- [ADR 0002](docs/ADRs/0002-sidecar-language-go.md) marked **superseded** by [ADR 0005](docs/ADRs/0005-dart-core-ptyc-peer.md). The "sidecar language: Go" guardrail is retired. CLAUDE.md's guardrails, dependency notes, and command reference are updated to reflect the Dart-core direction.
- `.gitignore` retargeted: Flutter/Dart output at the repo root (`.dart_tool/`, `build/`, platform ephemeral dirs, `bin/clide`), plus a `ptyc/` section for the C helper's build artefacts. Go-specific rules removed.
- `ci/lint.sh`, `ci/test.sh`, `ci/security.sh`, and `.githooks/pre-push` rewritten for the Dart toolchain — no Go shell-outs, no `GOBIN` PATH dance.
### Added
- Testing docs under `docs/testing/`: `README.md` (what each layer covers, how to run, local vs CI flow), `a11y-manual.md` (15-minute Orca + VoiceOver checklist run at every tier cut), `claude-ui-workflow.md` (how Claude Code drives the app through the Playwright harness, including the `flt-semantics-placeholder` quirk).
- Makefile targets for every test layer and the UI harness: `test`, `test-a11y`, `test-integration`, `test-e2e`, `test-all`, `coverage`, `smoke-bundle`, `ui-dev`, `ui-stop`, `ui-smoke`. `push-check` now runs `test + test-a11y` (fast pre-push gate, <90s).
- Per-layer CI shell scripts under `ci/`: `test.sh` (analyze + format + unit + widget + golden, ~5s), `test_a11y.sh` (a11y contract), `test_integration.sh` (integration_test one file at a time — desktop can't batch them reliably), `test_e2e.sh` (daemon subprocess + browser WASM Playwright smoke), `smoke_bundle.sh` (xvfb-run the Linux release bundle for 5s; catches dynamic-linker / asset-bundle / plugin-init regressions that widget tests can't see), `coverage.sh` (flutter test --coverage + lcov summary).
- `.gitea/workflows/test.yml` — four-job pipeline (`unit`, `integration`, `startup-bundle`, `e2e`) that shells out to the `ci/*.sh` scripts. **Not activated yet** — Gitea Actions has to be enabled in the instance settings first. GitHub-Actions-syntax-compatible, so copying to `.github/workflows/` is a one-file move when the repo migrates.
- Web WASM harness under `tools/ui/` — Playwright driver so Claude Code (and humans) can drive the Flutter build in a real browser via the Semantics tree. `build.sh` / `serve.sh` / `stop.sh` manage a local `http.server` on `:4280` with port-based reclaim and kill (so orphaned listeners from earlier runs get swept). `driver.ts` exposes `ClideDriver` with `byLabel` / `click` / `type` / `readText` / `screenshot` / `dumpSemanticsTree` / `waitUntilReady` (auto-clicks the `flt-semantics-placeholder` to enable the semantics tree). First Playwright test `smoke.spec.ts` asserts welcome + disconnected labels render in the browser.
- Integration tests under `app/integration_test/`, run with the `integration_test` package against the real built app (not an in-memory widget pump). The load-bearing startup gate lives here: `app_starts_test.dart` boots `ClideApp`, waits for the root shell to settle, and asserts the three-column layout + welcome tab + statusbar connection indicator all render. Also covers theme-picker modal open/select/dismiss (`theme_picker_test.dart`) and extension enable/disable lifecycle with contributions mounting/unmounting (`extension_lifecycle_test.dart`).
- App-level test suite under `app/test/` — 168 tests across four layers:
- **Unit** (`kernel/`, `extension/`) — events bus, settings (scope + YAML round-trip), log, i18n fallback chain matrix, theme resolver + loader + controller, panel registry + arrangement, command registry + keybinding parser + palette filter, extension-manager dep-order / cycle detection / enable-disable, manifest loader, extension scanner.
- **Widget** (`widgets/`, `builtin/`) — every primitive's Semantics presence + token consumption + hover/press states; each Tier 0 built-in's contributions, view, and locale-switch re-render.
- **Golden** (`goldens/`) — widget primitives only, Alchemist + Ahem font; PNG fixtures checked in under `_files/ci/` and `_files/linux/`.
- **A11y** (`a11y/`) — `semantic_coverage_test.dart` (contract-level check that every built-in carries title + version + label-ready contributions), `contrast_test.dart` (WCAG-AA ratio gate on every bundled theme's canonical token pairs), `i18n_coverage_test.dart` (asserts every Tier-0-referenced key is present in its `en_US` catalog), `keyboard_traversal_test.dart` (focusability smoke).
- Test helpers under `app/test/helpers/` — `KernelFixture` (boots a KernelServices with in-memory defaults + a fake daemon for widget-level tests), `FakeDaemonClient` (subclasses the real client, no socket, drivable connected-state), `golden_harness` (Alchemist config with Ahem font for cross-platform pixel stability), `widget_harness` (wraps a widget in Directionality + ClideKernel + ClideTheme + MediaQuery).
- Flutter desktop app scaffold under `app/` with a bare `WidgetsApp` root (no Material, no Cupertino) and the Tier 0 three-column layout.
- **Kernel** (`app/lib/kernel/`) — 18 services consumed by every extension: `settings` (scope-resolved get/set across `app.*`/`project.*`/`ext.*`), `project`, `extensions`, `theme`, `panels` (slot registry + arrangement), `events`, `ipc`, `commands` (+ palette + keybinding resolver), `clipboard`, `files`, `notify`, `dialog` (single-at-a-time modal router), `tray`, `secrets`, `os`, `net`, `focus`, and `log`. Unified in a `ClideKernel` `InheritedWidget`.
- **i18n** (`app/lib/kernel/src/i18n/`) — text-driven lookup ported from [fframe](https://github.com/postmeridiem/fframe)'s `L10n`: namespaced JSON catalogs, `string()` / `interpolated()` calls with caller-supplied placeholders, and a proper locale fallback chain (exact → language → default-country → default-language → placeholder). Improves on fframe's design by adding the chain, which fframe lacks.
- **A11y from Tier 0** — `Semantics(label:, hint:, button:)` on every interactive primitive; `SemanticsBinding.ensureSemantics()` at boot; a `theme/contrast.dart` helper exposes token pairs that the a11y suite walks for WCAG-AA compliance.
- **Extension contract** (`app/lib/extension/`) — abstract `ClideExtension`, sealed `ContributionPoint` hierarchy (`TabContribution`, `StatusItemContribution`, `ToolbarButtonContribution`, `CommandContribution`, `TrayItemContribution`, `LayoutPresetContribution`). Each extension ships one manifest contributing N atoms into kernel slots. Priority-based ordering within a slot, dependency-aware activation, YAML manifest loader + scanner for `~/.clide/extensions/`.
- **Three-tier theme pipeline** — palette (named colors) → semantic roles → ~60 VS-Code-style surface tokens, each layer with defaults so palette-only themes ship. Ported `summer-night` as the first bundled theme; muted value calibrated for WCAG-AA contrast.
- **Widget primitives** (`app/lib/widgets/`) — `ClideSurface`, `ClideText`, `ClideButton`, `ClideTabBar`, `ClideDivider`, `ClideScrollbar`, `ClideTooltip`, `ClideIcon` + eight `CustomPainter`-rendered icons (folder, gear, x, chevron-left/right, dot, check, plug). All token-consuming, all Semantics-wrapped.
- **Tier 0 built-in extensions** — `builtin.default-layout` (classic three-column preset + reset command), `builtin.welcome` (workspace placeholder), `builtin.ipc-status` (live-region statusbar indicator), `builtin.theme-picker` (command + modal, bound to `ctrl+k`). Plus 17 id-reserving stubs (`builtin.claude`, `builtin.terminal`, `builtin.files`, `builtin.editor`, `builtin.git`, ...) so later tiers can fill in without rename churn.
- **Lua runtime boundary** — `app/lib/lua/` ships as typed stubs (`host`, `adapter`, `capability_api`, `render_intent`) so third-party Lua extensions can plug in at Tier 6 without retrofitting.
- `.gitignore` extended to cover `app/` sub-package artefacts (`app/.dart_tool`, `app/build`, per-platform ephemeral dirs, `app/*.iml`) and the Playwright harness under `tools/ui/` (`node_modules`, `out`, test-results).
- Dart core package at the repo root: `bin/clide.dart` (one binary, `--daemon` and one-shot subcommand modes), `lib/clide.dart` barrel exporting the shared IPC types, `lib/src/ipc/` (`envelope.dart`, `server.dart`, `paths.dart`, `schema_v1.dart`), and `lib/src/daemon/dispatcher.dart`. `clide --daemon` listens on a unix socket; `clide ping` / `clide version` round-trip through it with the ADR 0006 exit-code contract (`0/1/2/3/4`). Includes `test/ipc/` and `test/daemon/` suites covering envelope parsing, the in-process server, and a subprocess smoke that verifies signal-driven shutdown + socket unlink.
- `scripts/bazzite-flutter-setup.sh` — one-shot installer for the Flutter SDK + desktop build deps on Bazzite / Fedora Silverblue. Drops the SDK under `~/opt/flutter`, wires PATH in the user's shell rc files, and layers the Linux desktop build deps via `rpm-ostree install`.
- [ADR 0005](docs/ADRs/0005-dart-core-ptyc-peer.md) — Dart core; sidecar directory dissolved; `ptyc` as pql-peer. Establishes one Dart AOT binary for both CLI and daemon, `lib/` as the shared core, and promotes the C PTY helper to a standalone supporter tool on the same footing as pql.
- [ADR 0006](docs/ADRs/0006-cli-and-event-surface.md) — CLI and event surface contract. Defines the subsystem list (`pane`, `tab`, `editor`, `panel`, `tree`, `git`, `pql`, `canvas`, `graph`, `theme`, `settings`, `project`), the command shape, the versioned JSON event schema, the pql-style exit-code contract, and the command↔event duality rule that operationalises user/Claude parity.
- Architectural decision records carried forward from the short-lived
`claudian` plugin project (discarded in favour of this Flutter
rebuild):
[ADR 0001](docs/ADRs/0001-cli-first-not-mcp.md) — CLI-first, not MCP.
[ADR 0002](docs/ADRs/0002-sidecar-language-go.md) — Sidecar language: Go.
[ADR 0003](docs/ADRs/0003-pql-as-supporter-tool.md) — pql as supporter tool; wrap, don't duplicate; pql is a Clide subsystem when present.
[ADR 0004](docs/ADRs/0004-ignore-file-strategy.md) — Ignore file strategy (`ignore_files:` in `.pql/config.yaml`, layered).
- Pre-push quality gate: `.githooks/pre-push` runs `make push-check` (lint + test + test-race + test-integration + vuln + app-analyze + app-test) so bad pushes are caught locally before they hit Gitea. The app-side targets gracefully noop until Flutter is scaffolded. Install with `make hooks` (sets `git config core.hooksPath .githooks`); the hook prepends `$GOBIN`/`$HOME/go/bin` to PATH so govulncheck resolves without the user touching their shell profile.
- Go sidecar/CLI skeleton under `sidecar/` (module `git.schweitz.net/jpmschweitzer/clide/sidecar`): `cmd/clide/main.go`, `internal/cli` with a stdlib-flag dispatch, `internal/diag` mirroring pql's exit-code + stderr-JSON contract, `internal/version` with ldflag-stamped build info, and placeholder packages for `daemon`, `pty`, `proc`, `git`, `ipc`, `pql` awaiting their tier. `clide --version` emits JSON build-info today.
- Root `Makefile` drives both the Go sidecar and the Flutter app under one toolchain. Version is read from `pubspec.yaml` via awk and stamped into the sidecar via `-ldflags -X`. Flutter targets gracefully noop before the app is scaffolded so the Makefile is usable from day one. Pinned Go tooling (govulncheck, goimports, golangci-lint) installs via `make tools`.
- `ci/` entry scripts: `test.sh`, `lint.sh` (includes the supply-chain gate — no green lint without a green CVE scan), `security.sh`, `release.sh` (stub).
- Project identity files for the Flutter rebuild at the repo root: `pubspec.yaml` (single source of truth for version + module path, version 2.0.0-dev), a fresh `README.md`, MIT `LICENSE`, and `.editorconfig`. The Python clide's manifest and README are preserved under `legacy/`.
- [`docs/initial-plan.md`](docs/initial-plan.md) — the north-star design document for the Flutter rebuild. Captures what we kept from Python Clide (pane model, git skills, Claude-always-visible), what we took from Obsidian (canvas and graph — no vault, no bases, no plugin inheritance), what Claudian's short experiment contributed (Go sidecar, CLI-first, pql-as-subsystem, ignore-file strategy), and the tier roadmap (Tier 0 app+sidecar handshake → Tier 5 canvas+graph).
- [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) orientation doc for future Claude Code instances: project identity, guardrails as one-liners, tier ordering, parent-project pointers, commands, dependencies & supply chain, open questions. Points at the design doc and ADRs rather than restating their content.
- Claude Code configuration under `.claude/`: project-level
allow/deny permissions and two skills — `skill-create` (generic
skill authoring guidance) and `git-commit` (this repo's commit
conventions: no Conventional Commits, Keep a Changelog discipline,
`pubspec.yaml`-and-changelog-bumped-together rule, attribution
trailer, safety reminders).
