ores.qt.api

ores.qt.api is the shared infrastructure layer for the ORE Studio Qt application. It defines the IPlugin interface and PluginBase that all feature plugins implement, the plugin_context and shared_menus_context structs passed through the plugin lifecycle, and the base classes for the entity UI pattern: EntityController, EntityListMdiWindow, EntityDetailDialog, and AbstractClientModel. It also provides ClientManager (the NATS client wrapper), shared caches (badge, image, change-reason), MDI utilities, icon utilities, and common dialog helpers used across all plugins.

• NATS client connection provided by ores.nats and ores.eventing.
• Domain type definitions from all linked ores.*.api libraries.
• Qt plugin loader infrastructure (QPluginLoader) for the plugin protocol.

• IPlugin / PluginBase — the interface every Qt plugin implements.
• plugin_context / shared_menus_context — lifecycle context structs.
• EntityController, EntityListMdiWindow, EntityDetailDialog, AbstractClientModel — base classes for the entity UI pattern.
• ClientManager — typed NATS request/response wrapper for all domain calls.
• BadgeCache, ChangeReasonCache, ImageCache — session-scoped caches.
• Utility headers: IconUtils, MdiUtils, FontUtils, TextUtils, etc.
