egui_mcp, new in 0.35, is worth knowing about for this project
specifically. It exposes a running egui app's AccessKit tree over an
inspection protocol and accepts synthetic events — launched with
EGUI_INSPECTION=1, listening on port 5719 — with an MCP server so a
coding agent can drive the app and take screenshots. Given how much of
this repository's work is agent-assisted, an agent that can actually
operate the UI and look at it is a meaningfully better feedback loop than
one that can only read the source.
