Closes the observability loop: the log + breadcrumb + watchdog files are now collected by CI so a wedged run leaves downloadable evidence instead of nothing. - logDirectory(): CLIDE_LOG_DIR overrides the per-platform default, so CI can point the logs at an uploadable workspace dir (and tests at a temp dir). Now takes an injectable env map; tested. - test_app.dart: when CLIDE_LOG_DIR is set, the testmode harness tees its logger to a FileLogSink + spawns the watchdog (off by default — normal run-testmode keeps the stderr-only path, no isolate). _say breadcrumbs each test into the file. - conpty_orphan_probe.dart: with CLIDE_LOG_DIR set it passes a verbose PtyLog, so when soak-conpty-kill.ps1 force-kills the parent, the reader/waiter isolates' LAST crumb is fsynced to disk — naming what the wedged isolate was doing at the instant of death. - bundle-smoke job: runs the real release app with CLIDE_LOG=debug + CLIDE_LOG_DIR, uploads clide-logs (watchdog heartbeat/sample + FileLogSink) in an always() step. - windows-soak kill-probe job: sets CLIDE_LOG_DIR, uploads the FFI crumbs. Coverage gate 95.08%. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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) 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
Pre-v2.0 (2.0.0-dev). Interaction model and panel system landed. The Python Textual v1.2.0 predecessor is archived under legacy/.
