PR Description

Refined proposal for GSoC 2026 Idea #1 — MCP Testing Suite.

What changed from v1 (PR #1371):

• Reframed as a standalone Electron desktop app (not inside API Dash)
• Python3 backend for all MCP logic (transport, classifier, snapshots)
• React/TypeScript frontend communicates with Python via WebSocket
• Detailed implementation: stdio_transport.py, trace_inspector.py classifier decision tree, snapshot_store.py diff engine — all with actual code
• Natural comparison with existing tools (MCP Inspector, MCPJam) — explains gaps clearly
• Updated weekly timeline reflecting Electron + Python3 architecture
