Unreleased

BREAKING: Replaced Python bridge (bridge.py) with Java bridge (GhidraCliBridge.java)
- Architecture simplified from 3 layers (CLI → Rust daemon → Python bridge) to 2 layers (CLI → Java bridge)
- No separate Rust daemon process — CLI connects directly to Java bridge via TCP
- Bridge runs as a GhidraScript inside analyzeHeadless JVM
- Dynamic port binding with port/PID file discovery (~/.local/share/ghidra-cli/bridge-{hash}.port)
BREAKING: Removed Python/PyGhidra dependency — only Java 17+ and Ghidra are required
ghidra setup no longer installs PyGhidra
ghidra doctor no longer checks for Python/PyGhidra

All 13 Python scripts (bridge.py, find.py, symbols.py, types.py, comments.py, graph.py, diff.py, patch.py, disasm.py, stats.py, program.py, script_runner.py, batch.py)
Rust daemon process and associated modules (handler.rs, handlers/, ipc_server.rs, process.rs, queue.rs, state.rs, cache.rs)
Dependencies: remoc, interprocess, fslock
Unix domain socket IPC — replaced with direct TCP to Java bridge

Daemon-only architecture with persistent Ghidra connection
Auto-start daemon on import/analyze/quick commands
Comprehensive reverse engineering commands:
- Function analysis (list, decompile, disassemble, calls, xrefs)
- Symbol management (list, get, create, delete, rename)
- String analysis and search
- Type definitions and application
- Comment management
- Memory operations
- Cross-reference analysis
Search capabilities:
- String patterns
- Byte sequences
- Function names
- Crypto constants
- Interesting patterns
Call graph generation and export
Binary patching (bytes, NOP, export)
Script execution (Python and Java)
Batch operations
Flexible output formats:
- Human-readable (default for TTY)
- Compact JSON (default for pipes)
- Pretty JSON (--pretty flag)
