Three sections instead of one flat list. `self:` carries clide's own MIT license (rendered first in the About screen so the user knows what they're running before the dependency list). `dependencies:` covers artefacts that actually ship in the binary — JetBrainsMono, JosefinSans, yaml. `dev_dependencies:` tracks build-time tooling (mocktail, alchemist, flutter_lints, lints, test) for audit completeness without polluting the user-facing About panel. Also backfilled the two root-package dev deps that were missed the first pass: `lints: 5.0.0` and `test: 1.25.8` (root pubspec, not app/). Root LICENSE mirrored into app/assets/LICENSE + declared as a bundled asset so the About screen can read it at runtime (Flutter can't reference paths above the package root). D-042 updated to describe the three-section split and the dev-vs- runtime distinction. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
clide
A Flutter desktop IDE for Claude Code. Markdown-first content, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces, a Go sidecar handling PTYs / subprocesses / git / pql. Claude drives the UI through a clide CLI.
Currently pre-v2.0, scaffolding. The north-star design lives in docs/initial-plan.md; architectural decisions are captured in docs/ADRs/. The Python Textual v1.2.0 implementation is archived under legacy/ for reference.
Three surfaces, one tool
app/— Flutter desktop application (Linux / macOS; Windows is a stretch).sidecar/— Go sidecar/CLI, single binary with two modes:clide <subcommand>(one-shot for Claude) andclide --daemon(long-running sidecar for the app). Owns PTYs, subprocesses, file watchers, git, pql invocations.pql— external supporter tool. clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
Why the rebuild?
The Python Textual implementation (legacy/) proved the pane model but capped at terminal-only rendering. A short-lived experiment (claudian, April 2026) explored an Obsidian-plugin approach and was abandoned because Obsidian is Electron, and the user's history with terminal-in-Electron ruled that host out.
Flutter desktop resolves both constraints: native Skia rendering avoids Electron's failure modes, xterm.dart gives us a solid terminal surface, and the pane model can be rebuilt natively. The Obsidian ideas worth keeping (canvas, graph) fold in; everything else (vault concept, inline query tables, plugin ecosystem inheritance) doesn't.
Status
No build yet beyond the repo scaffold. Tier 0 acceptance: sidecar daemon runs, Flutter app connects, empty IDE shell appears with placeholders.
