File locations

Where Scelo keeps its settings, runtimes, and per-workspace state. The app's userData directory is:

Platform	userData path
Linux	~/.config/Scelo IDE/
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Scelo IDE/
Windows	%APPDATA%\Scelo IDE\

Inside userData

File / folder	What it holds
.first-run-complete	First-run marker (presence skips the setup screen)
workspaces.json	List of recently opened workspaces
workspace.json	The last/active workspace
workspace-state-<id>.json	Per-workspace UI state (open tabs, active tab, sidebar tab, panel widths, terminal visibility)
unsaved/<workspaceId>/…	Auto-stashed editor drafts
channel.json	Update channel (stable / beta)
extracted/<id>/	Extracted bundled resources

AI provider secrets

API keys are stored with the OS secure store (safeStorage / system keychain) where available, so they're encrypted at rest and the decrypted key never reaches the renderer. reset to defaults in Settings → AI clears them.

Bundled runtimes

Python and R ship inside the app package (resources/runtime/python and resources/runtime/r) and are placed first on the terminal's PATH. They're part of the install, not under userData — uninstalling the app removes them.

The pipeline workspace

The Scelo pipeline's datasets, cleaning history, and model runs live in the workspace folder you opened, not in userData — so they travel with your project and are easy to back up or put under Git.
