clean-house sweep over governance/ (validate green, 0 broken refs before and after): - RULE-ANCHOR-DRIFT (37): rewrote inline cross-reference links left over from before the decisions/questions/rejected subdir split — flat naming (questions-architecture.md, questions-process.md, rejected.md) and bare same-dir paths that were actually cross-type — to canonical subdir-relative form with current slugs. pql resolved these by ID so they were never broken to the tooling, only to GitHub anchor navigation. - RULE-RECORD-SORT (1): reordered decisions/architecture.md D-records to strictly ascending (the D-1..D-6 block had been appended after D-41); pure block move, line count unchanged, content identical. - RULE-FILE-OVER-THRESHOLD: deferred (architecture.md 435 > 350; splitting would re-churn the anchors just fixed). - EOF/whitespace and Q↔D backlinks clean.

Open Questions — Process + Tooling
Editor tab, tree-sitter, icon set, theme hot-reload, kernel DB access.
Tooling-domain questions currently live here too. Split into
questions-tooling.md if this file outgrows ~350 lines.
Q-15: Editor tab — full LSP vs tree-sitter-only highlight
- Status: Open
- Question: Tier 2's editor tab: do we integrate a full LSP story (analyzer server + hovers + completions + diagnostics) or ship tree-sitter-only syntax highlighting and defer LSP to Tier 6?
- Context: Full LSP is a large subsystem; tree-sitter is a weekend. User is a heavy LSP user in other IDEs — missing it hurts. CLAUDE.md flags this as "decide during Tier 2."

Q-16: tree-sitter-dart grammar maintenance
- Status: Open
- Question:
UserNobody14/tree-sitter-dartis archived.nielsenko/tree-sitter-dartis the maintained fork. Do we pinnielsenko/, mirror it in-repo, or lean on the Dart analyzer's own semantic output and skip tree-sitter for Dart? - Context: If tree-sitter is the Tier-2 answer (Q-15), grammar sourcing matters.

Q-17: Icon set growth
- Status: Open
- Question: Hand-drawn
CustomPaintercatalogue (total control, pixel-perfect on every theme, slow to grow) vs SVG + parser (faster to grow, one more dep, theming is harder)? - Context: We rejected Nerd-font glyphs (R-6); something has to fill the gap.
- Source: 2026-04-21 planning.
Q-18: Theme hot-reload in release builds
- Status: Open
- Question: The theme picker supports live-reloading a YAML during development. Does the same path stay open in release builds (user tweaks
~/.config/clide/themes/foo.yamland the app re-reads on focus) or is release-build theming restricted to built-in + settings-UI-installed themes? - Context: Hot-reload is powerful for theme authoring but opens a file-watch + re-parse path in release code.

Q-19: (withdrawn)
- Status: Resolved → n/a
- Note: Earlier floated as "ticket markdown mirror vs SQLite" — no longer a split question. Markdown mirror is tracked in Q-22; SQLite is the current stopgap per D-40.
Q-20: Kernel DB service — namespaced SQL access?
- Status: Open
- Question: Do extensions get namespaced SQL access to
.clide/clide.db(tables prefixedext_<id>_…) or stay on thekernel.settingskey/value facade? Admission-level question (D-12). - Context: Some extensions (tickets, canvas, graph) naturally want relational storage. K/V gets awkward fast.
