How blazeboyz0/cinderde works

CinderDE is a lightweight Qt desktop code editor. The principal workflow is opening a workspace and editing files in tabs, with language-aware highlighting and optional LSP assistance; users can also build or run files using configured commands and view output. Workspace/session settings, user language packs, and preferences support that workflow. The graph reflects README capabilities and the supplied source index and excerpts; some UI wiring and unsampled subsystem details are not verified, so uncertain connections are omitted.
