- Screenshots now arrive pre-encoded as PNG; drop the local re-encode helper and the
direct `image` dependency.
- Drop the now-removed egui_inspection `protocol` feature.
- Inherit the spawned child's stderr so its panics and logs surface.
Port the bridge listener (was tokio::net::UnixListener) and the shim client
(was std::os::unix::net::UnixStream) to the interprocess crate, so the MCP
inspection transport builds and runs on Windows (named pipe) as well as
unix/macOS (unix domain socket).
- bridge: bind via interprocess local_socket::tokio Listener + ListenerOptions;
accept() yields a single Stream, split into async halves. read/write_message
are now generic over AsyncRead/AsyncWrite.
- shim: connect via interprocess sync Stream and split for the byte relay;
closing the write direction is done by dropping the send half.
- Allocate/parse socket names through egui_inspection::transport, so both ends
agree on the platform-specific mapping. Drop the now-unused tempfile dep.
- Add a transport round-trip test (tokio listener <-> sync client).
New binary crate that exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server backed by
the `egui_inspection` protocol. The server bridges a running egui peer — a
spawned `egui_kittest` harness child process or an attached live `eframe` app —
to MCP tool handlers that drive it.
Components:
- `bridge.rs`: spawns / attaches a peer over a unix socket, runs reader+writer
Tokio tasks that pump `HarnessMessage` ↔ `InspectorCommand` and track the
peer's `Hello`, latest frame, accesskit tree, and blocked / finished state.
- `tools.rs`: `rmcp`-derived tool router with commands for stepping, event
injection (click / type / scroll / hover / drag / keys), resizing, screenshot
capture, accesskit tree queries, and lifecycle (launch / attach / kill).
- `tree.rs`: accesskit-tree projection helpers shared by the tools.
- `shim.rs` / `main.rs`: shim role that lets the same binary act as the child
inspector for kittest harnesses, relaying bytes between the harness stdio
and the MCP server's unix socket.
- `server.rs`: rmcp stdio entry point.
Live-app example added at `examples/egui_mcp/`.
