sidelight 0.5.2 — first public release
The first public release of sidelight: a local-first, read-only project-awareness pane for your terminal.
Install: npm install -g sidelight · PI users: pi install npm:sidelight
What's in it:
- Files, Git, Search, and Sessions panels in a single fast TUI, built for a terminal split beside an AI coding session
- Git panel with live diff stats and colored diffs on Enter
- Smart-case search with filename matches and highlighted results; preview any file at its exact line
- Optional PI extension recording sanitized session metadata (never message content) — session names, counts, tokens, cost, files touched
yto yank paths,path:linerefs, or session resume commands via OSC 52- Deny-list for secret-looking files enforced on every surface; symlink containment in previews
- No network, no telemetry, no writes to your project — see PHILOSOPHY.md for the guarantees and the list of things we will never add
92 tests. MIT. Small enough to read — encouraged.
