Description

When QML resources are served via HTTP paths (and possibly any non-file:// path), a special qmldir file is expected to exist for relative-path file resolution.

One potential option for Docker would be to bind the served resource directory to the host where the GUI client runs and translate paths to the host path (similar logic to how we currently translate paths to served URLs).

Alternatively, we just need to ensure that qmldir exists and is defined or else log some warning.

There may be other limitations to non-local resources for Qt and other GUI infrastructures to consider.

Research direction

Start by tracing how QML resources are served over HTTP and how existing logic translates resource paths to served URLs. Compare the Docker host-path option with ensuring a qmldir file exists or logging a warning, and define done as handling non-file:// resources without unresolved relative paths.
