Description

egui / rust needs something like this to help debug broken constraints / layouts
https://docs.flutter.dev/tools/devtools/inspector
- this technology has mcp - so you can plug in llm to debug
this is simiiar to this chrome tools mcp

i was working with llm a few months back to build a flash ide in egui - timeline -
i dont have a screenshot handy - but i got quite far.
long story short - it got complicated (ai couldnʼt fix it) - and i abandoned it. instead using rust + flutter
https://github.com/johndpope/nannou_conrod/

i mention this because as i was running into same problems with flutter -
the flutter inspector was able to get past them and fix them.

it maybe possible to hotwire the flutter inspector to hook into egui layout engine and debug things?

i definitely got the flutter + rust bridge working with some code i havenʼt released (using claude code)
