Completes i18n coverage of the conversation surface — the strings the T-464 migration left as "decorative" English: - running-indicator verbs (Pondering/Conjuring/… → catalog, Dutch added) - pane chrome title (primary / secondary N) and banner role - tool-card titles (Edit → Bewerken) via a tool.name.* key set, with command/proper-name tools (Bash, Grep, Glob, LS) falling back to the raw name - collapser step/edit/agent counters - the folded-activity ticker (result/error/thinking/image + tool name) English degrades to the placeholder where a key is absent, so untranslated or MCP tool names render unchanged. en_us and nl_nl stay at key parity.

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. Claude session persistence is --resume <session-id> against Claude Code's transcript files (D-77, superseding the tmux-backed 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, cli_install, decisions, deeplink, default_layout, diff, editor, extensions_ui, files, git, grammars_core, graph, ipc_status, keybindings_ui, markdown, menubar, output, pql, problems, search, settings_ui, terminal, theme_picker, tickets, todos, view, vim, welcome.
Building
Requires Flutter (stable channel) and pql
on the host. pql is a hard dependency — the pre-push gate runs pql decisions validate and the governance + ticket workflow is built on it (see its repo for
install). One-time setup:
make hooks && flutter pub get
pql init # once, in the repo root — wires up the pql skill + perms
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
Active development; the interaction model, panel system, and settings engine have landed. The Python Textual predecessor is archived under legacy/.
