Research direction

Start with the logged invalid XML and the component-disconnection path in the bridge. Trace how incoming XML is validated and forwarded, then reproduce the malformed-character case from the report. Done means the bridge handles or rejects this input without unexpectedly disconnecting the component, with a regression test if the project has coverage for this path.
