egui_inspection 0.35.0

//! Request/response wire protocol for inspecting a running egui app.
//!
//! Shared between an egui peer (a live `eframe` app running [`crate::InspectionPlugin`]) and
//! an external inspector (the `egui_mcp` server, or any other compatible tool).
//!
//! Every connection opens with a fixed binary handshake — [`PROTOCOL_MAGIC`] (4 bytes) plus
//! [`PROTOCOL_VERSION`] (4 big-endian bytes), written by the peer when a client connects — so
//! the client can reject a non-inspection or incompatible peer before decoding any
//! `MessagePack`. After the handshake the inspector sends [`Request`]s and the peer replies
//! with exactly one [`Response`] each.
//!
//! Messages are framed as a 4-byte big-endian length followed by a `MessagePack`-encoded body
//! (`rmp-serde`). Transport-neutral: the same framing works on TCP and any byte stream.
//!
//! Living in its own crate (rather than `egui_mcp`) lets eframe pull the protocol + plugin
//! in without depending on the MCP server, and lets external tools depend on the protocol
//! types directly.
