The previous approach added a getEvents() virtual to LogosProviderObject,
which inserted a new vtable slot and shifted every later slot — an ABI
break that would misdispatch virtual calls whenever an old and new
host/module were mixed across the in-process plugin boundary.
Instead, report events INSIDE the existing getMethods() call: it now
returns the module's whole interface, with each entry tagged
type "method" or "event" (events omit returnType/isInvokable). The
provider vtable is therefore byte-for-byte unchanged, so old/new hosts
and modules stay binary-compatible — a new host reading an old module
sees no event entries (zero events), and an old host reading a new
module just ignores the "type" field (cosmetic). An entry with no
"type" is treated as a method.
- logos_provider_object.h: remove the getEvents() virtual; document that
getMethods() carries both, and why.
- generator (lidl_gen_provider): emit events as type "event" entries
inside getMethods(); tag methods type "method"; no getEvents() output.
- module_proxy / qt_provider_object: getPluginMethods()/getPluginEvents()
are now type-filtered views of getMethods(), plus a new
getPluginInterface() returning the whole list. (These are name-
dispatched Q_INVOKABLEs, not vtable surface — adding them is safe.)
- tests: generator asserts events fold into getMethods() tagged "event";
ModuleProxy asserts the three filtered views; parser tests unchanged.
- docs: spec/project/docs/README updated, incl. an ABI rationale note.

Mirror the per-method documentation pipeline for events. Events
(declared in a universal module's logos_events: section) now carry a
description parsed from their /// doc comments, and are introspectable
at runtime via a new getPluginEvents framework call.
- lidl_ast: EventDecl gains a description field.
- impl_header_parser: capture the event's doc comment (previously
discarded) and an optional metadata.json events[].description.
- lidl_gen_provider: generated universal provider emits
getEvents() override, mirroring getMethods() (name/signature/
parameters/description; no returnType/isInvokable — events are void).
- logos_provider_object: default-empty virtual getEvents() so the
legacy provider path and QtProviderObject inherit empty.
- module_proxy / qt_provider_object: intercept getPluginEvents next to
the getPluginMethods special-case.
- docs: spec + README event-documentation notes.

* parse adjacent method comments to populate description
* preserve line breaks in method descriptions
Join doc-comment lines with newlines instead of spaces (markers stripped,
leading/trailing blank lines dropped, interior blanks kept), and escape \n
when emitting the description into the generated getMethods(). Both codegen
paths updated; docs corrected.

* don't count braces inside comment lines (impl-header parser)
A brace in a doc/line comment (e.g. `/// returns { ... }`) no longer affects
class-scope tracking, which previously could make the parser think the class
ended early and drop later declarations. Addresses review feedback on #70.
