Key Features

Same DSM model as the AppKit version
Pure Python application over dsviper
Interactive graph visualization with Qt Widgets
Full undo/redo via commit history
Documents browser, metadata inspector, commit program trace
Multi-user editing via CommitDatabaseServer

Demonstrates that the same DSM model powers both a native C++ application and a pure Python application. The 3-tier architecture is UI-agnostic.

Key Features

Same DSM model as AppKit and Qt Widgets versions
Pure declarative UI (QML + Fusion style)
Full commit DAG with undo/redo
Integrated Python editor with auto-completion
Three repositories: ge-qml, dsviper-tools-qml, dsviper-components-qml
Multi-user editing via CommitDatabaseServer

Third proof of UI-agnosticism: same CommitStore, same DSM model, same Kibo-generated infrastructure — only the presentation tier changes, from Qt Widgets to QML. Now split across three repositories: Graph Editor, the database tools (dbe / cdbe), and the shared components library.

3-Tier Code Distribution

All four projects share the same DSM model. Only the UI and business layers change between stacks.

GE AppKit (Native)

66% Generated

24% UI

10% Business

GE Qt Widgets (Python)

51% Qt Gen.

12% Generated

28% UI

9% Business

QML Stack (Declarative)

16% Generated

30% QML

55% Python

Raptor Editor (Torture Test)

69% Generated

25% Business

6% UI

Generated Infrastructure (Kibo)

Qt Generated

QML Declarative

UI (Manual)

Business Logic (Manual)

Stable Infrastructure Ratio

~66-69% generated code across AppKit and Raptor projects. Kibo's value scales predictably.

UI-Agnostic Architecture

Same DSM model powers AppKit, Qt Widgets, and QML. The QML port eliminates the generation layer entirely — pure application code over dsviper.

Declarative Eliminates Boilerplate

GE QML achieves the same functionality as GE Qt Widgets with 22K lines vs 29K — QML's declarative bindings replace imperative widget code.

Application Pattern

All three applications use the CommitStore Pattern for unified transactional state management:

UI Layer AppKit, Qt Widgets, QML

↓ dispatch actions

CommitStore Transactional state with history

↓ persist

Database + Commit Engine SQLite + DAG versioning

Undo/Redo

Built-in via commit history traversal

Collaboration

Branch and merge for multi-user editing

Audit Trail

Complete history of all changes
