Sixth slice of T-99. Long-lived event subscription path, the second
half of D-6.
Wire shape:
- Client sends `{cmd:"tail", args:{flags:{events:true, filter:X}}}`.
- Server responds with `{ok:true, data:{streaming:true, filter:X}}`.
- Server pushes `{type:"event", subsystem, kind, ts, data}` lines
until the client closes.
Server (lib/src/ipc/server.dart):
- Takes a DaemonBus, subscribes to DaemonEvent on start.
- Per-subsystem ring buffer (replayDepth=16 per D-6) populated on
every emit.
- `tail --events` connection: send ack, replay matching events from
ring, register the client for future fanout.
- _argv envelope now unwrapped at the server layer so the streaming
check sees the inner `tail` cmd (not just `_argv`).
- Broken subscriber writes drop the subscriber cleanly; the bus
doesn't block on a stalled client.
Client (native/clide-cli/clide.c):
- Sniffs `data.streaming:true` in the ack. If set, loops reading
JSON-line events to stdout (with fflush per line) until EOF.
Tests:
- test/ipc/server_streaming_test.dart — 8 cases covering ack shape,
filter, replay buffer (size + ordering), multi-subscriber fanout,
broken-subscriber cleanup.
- test/cli/clide_cli_e2e_test.dart gets a tail --events test that
spawns the C client, emits two events on the bus, asserts they
print on stdout.
T-99 children remaining: T-130 (MCP), T-131 (wrap-up).

clide
An IDE for Claude Code CLI. Native rendering, terminal-first interaction, pql-powered queries, canvas and graph surfaces. Linux and macOS.
Architecture
Single Flutter package at the repo root. The app hosts everything in-process: IPC server, subsystem handlers (pane, files, editor, git, pql), and the extension framework. tmux owns Claude session persistence (D-41).
lib/— all Dart code. Core subsystems (lib/src/), kernel services (lib/kernel/), UI widgets (lib/widgets/), built-in extensions (lib/builtin/), the extension framework (lib/extension/).- PTY —
lib/src/pty/spawns child processes via Dart FFIposix_openpt()+posix_spawn()directly; no external helper binary. native/— vendored native libraries (libtree-sitter.sowith wasmtime embedded). Linux only today.- pql — external supporter tool. Clide wraps it for every query surface; never re-implements it.
Claude drives the UI through a clide CLI surface (Bash, not MCP). Every CLI subcommand has a UI affordance and every UI action has a CLI equivalent (D-6).
Built-in extensions
canvas, claude, claude_control, decisions, diff, editor, extensions_ui, files, git, graph, grammars_core, ipc_status, keybindings_ui, markdown, pql, problems, settings_ui, terminal, theme_picker, tickets, todos, welcome.
Building
Requires Flutter (stable channel) on the host. One-time setup:
make hooks && flutter pub get
Then:
make run # launch the desktop app
make test # fast suite: analyze + format + unit + widget + golden
make test-core # core subsystem tests (IPC, PTY, git, pane registry)
make test-a11y # accessibility contract tests
make test-integration # real app boot integration tests
make build-linux # flutter build linux
make build-macos # flutter build macos
make push-check # pre-push gate: decisions + core + fast + a11y + coverage + changelog
Status
Pre-v2.0 (2.0.0-dev). Interaction model and panel system landed. The Python Textual v1.2.0 predecessor is archived under legacy/.
