/*
  qml-sg-mcp-bridge — MCP server bridging QML SceneGraph introspection.

  SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2026 The GammaRay MCP Bridge Authors

  The bridge is a GammaRay CLIENT peer: it connects to a probe injected into a
  target Qt/QML app and exposes the resulting introspection data as MCP tools
  (JSON-RPC over stdio) via qtmcp. See PLAN.md for the architecture.

  IMPORTANT: must use QApplication (not QCoreApplication) — GammaRay's
  RemoteModel ctor calls QApplication::style()->sizeFromContents(). With
  QCoreApplication the bridge segfaults the moment ObjectBroker::model() is
  first called after ClientConnectionManager::ready().
