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)
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no egui files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the linked Flutter Inspector documentation and examining how egui's layout engine could expose constraint and layout information; done would be a defined, working visualization and debugging workflow for broken egui layouts.
