Headless Aider engine fork for Aider Vision — a native desktop app (Tauri + React), not a VS Code clone. This repo is the core Python package: CLI, HTTP API, git/submodule workspaces, and docs for integrators.
We support Aider Vision, not this fork as a standalone product. Engine behavior and community live at aider.chat and Aider-AI/aider.
- HTTP API —
aider-vision-core-serve(FastAPI + SSE) for the Vision app and other clients - Headless runtime — non-interactive flows for GUI-driven confirm/cancel
- Git submodule workspaces — superproject roots with nested submodules
- Upstream alignment — regular merges from Aider-AI/aider; small Vision-only delta
python -m pip install -U aider-vision-core
