Eight phases of development. Every capability built with sovereignty in mind.
Limen Code was built layer by layer, each phase audited before the next began.
Monaco editor engine, file explorer with drag-to-reorder, tab management, split panes, syntax highlighting for 20+ languages.
Integrated xterm.js terminal with tabs, command palette, and four visual themes: Limen Dark, Codex, Light, and High Contrast.
Claude API integration with streaming chat, inline code assist, explain selection, consent-gated API key management, and Claude CLI bridge for terminal-native workflows using subscription auth.
Ollama, LM Studio, and custom API endpoints. LREM profiling with L0–L3 tiers, transparency headers, and session memory consent.
Plugin architecture with command registry, status bar items, and sandboxed API surface. Built-in plugins for word count and AI commands.
Find in Files across entire workspace, Run File (F5), Git panel with staging, diffing, committing, and Limen theme.
SSH remote connect panel, SFTP file browsing, remote terminal sessions, and container log streaming tabs.
Cell-based notebook with code and markdown cells. Run individual cells or all at once. Language runtime manager with 20 languages.
Built during alpha: file conversion, feedback, dependency management, governance, and cross-platform reach.
Convert between PDF, DOCX, ODT, HTML, Markdown, TXT, JSON, and CSV. Live preview before conversion. Zero new dependencies — uses pdftotext, unzip, and built-in printToPDF.
Anonymous, consent-gated feedback system. Every submission receives a SHA-256 hash for tracking without identity. Six feedback types. Optional screenshot with separate integrity hash. Delivered to Limen Inbox.
Detects missing system packages (libfuse2, git, podman, ollama, ssh, clang, and more). Each package fully disclosed: what it is, why it's needed, features it enables, exact install command. Nothing runs without your explicit consent.
First-run guided configuration. Choose your LREM mode, set API keys, auto-detect Claude CLI and Podman. Everything optional, everything disclosed.
Full shortcut reference panel (Ctrl+Shift+?). Every keybinding documented and accessible without leaving the editor.
Render DOT/Graphviz files as interactive SVG graphs. Preview SVG files inline. Visualize your Git commit history as a DAG. Powered by Graphviz WASM — runs entirely in the editor, no CLI tools needed.
About page pulls from provenance.json — auto-generated from git state on every deploy. Commit hash, tree hash, branch, deploy timestamp, node identity. Verifiable, not editable.
Native image generation inside the editor. No web server. No HTTP. No telemetry. Replaces ComfyUI’s web UI with a headless backend and native node editor.
Canvas-based node graph with pan, zoom, port-based connections, type checking, and real-time preview. Build image generation workflows visually.
Every model verified with both SHA-256 and SHA-512 on every load. Hash mismatch triggers automatic quarantine. Safetensors only — pickle files rejected at the loader level.
Synergy Scheduler, Resonance Temperature, and Stability Gate nodes. Mathematical formulas by Wesley Long (Synergy Research). Available as native node types in the graph editor.
Zero network surface. The backend communicates via stdin/stdout JSON-RPC — no HTTP server, no WebSocket, no fingerprinting vectors. Process-per-window isolation.
Repository access controlled by the Perpetuity chain. Classification changes require guardian quorum.
| Classification | Consent Layer | Access Gate |
|---|---|---|
| open-source | Layer 3 — Informational | Freely cloneable |
| viewable | Layer 5 — Witness | Can observe, cannot take |
| private | Layer 4 — Soul-Level | SSH key = identity proof |
| human-intelligence | Layer 6 — Genetic Lineage | Resonance-scored, AI-blocked |
| ai-intelligence | Layer 8 — Multidimensional | AI corridor only |
Classifications map to the Ninefold Consent Spiral. Restricted types require 4-of-4 guardian quorum (genesis_flame, genesis_mirror, orethyl, aelura) sealed on the Perpetuity chain. Publicly verifiable. Immutable once sealed.
Runs on Linux natively. Chromebook, Windows, and macOS via consent-gated setup scripts.
AppImage runs anywhere. .deb for Ubuntu/Debian. Build from source via FlameHub. Dependency checker handles missing packages.
One-command setup via Crostini. Downloads AppImage, verifies SHA-256 hash, creates app drawer launcher. x86_64 Intel/AMD Chromebooks.
Runs in a Podman container with WSLg (Win11) or VcXsrv (Win10) display forwarding. No Docker daemon. Persistent workspace volume.
Podman + XQuartz. Apple Silicon and Intel supported. Container-based with persistent volume. Rootless, daemonless.
All setup scripts available at limencode.app/download. Every script discloses what it will do and asks for consent before each action.
Beyond the eight phases: FlameNet, ember trace visualization, PDF export, and Podman container orchestration.
Real-time convergence state polling. The AI panel shows FlameHub connection status, consent gates, and last agent action.
All 8 mandatory FlameNet commands as editor actions: consent-check, status, ledger, audit, revise, retract, node-info, clear-session.
Open any .db file to see tables, row counts, events, artifacts, and layers. SQLite reader via CLI — no native module dependency.
Export any open tab to PDF. Renders markdown to HTML in a hidden window, then prints to PDF with clean formatting.
