Auto-detected on construction:
- BRIDGE_URL env set → dev mode (today's behaviour, unchanged).
- BRIDGE_URL unset → bundled mode: BackendConnection now
1. Resolves the user app data dir (QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation,
~/.local/share/<org>/<app> on Linux) and ensures var/, var/log/,
var/cache/ exist there.
2. Generates a per-session 32-byte URL-safe token and a 48-byte
Mercure JWT secret.
3. Runs `frankenphp php-cli bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate -n`
against the user's DATABASE_URL with a 60s timeout.
4. Spawns FrankenPHP via QProcess with BRIDGE_TOKEN/MERCURE_*/PORT
in the env, prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, SIGTERM) on the child, and
a supervisor that re-spawns up to 5 times on unexpected exit.
Each restart fires tokenRotated(newToken).
Path resolution defaults to applicationDirPath() + bin/frankenphp,
applicationDirPath() + symfony, applicationDirPath() + Caddyfile, with
both `/../share/<app>/...` and `/../usr/share/<app>/...` fallbacks for
AppImage-style layouts. All three are overridable via
BRIDGE_FRANKENPHP_BIN / BRIDGE_SYMFONY_DIR / BRIDGE_CADDYFILE env vars.
Caddyfiles in skeleton + example now use {$VAR:default} substitution
for PORT and the Mercure JWT keys, so the same Caddyfile works in both
modes. Dev defaults match symfony/.env.
restart() in bundled mode re-spawns the child (resets the supervisor
counter); in dev mode it stays a probe-only no-op.
Smoke-tested locally with `BRIDGE_FRANKENPHP_BIN=… BRIDGE_SYMFONY_DIR=…
BRIDGE_CADDYFILE=… ./build/qml/todo` (no BRIDGE_URL): bundled mode
created ~/.local/share/php-qml/todo/var/data.sqlite, ran the migration,
spawned FrankenPHP, served /healthz, accepted a POST /api/todos with
the per-session bearer. Dev mode (`make dev`) still works unchanged.
Includes a `phpqml.bridge.bundled` Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY so failures
surface to the user; enable with QT_LOGGING_RULES='phpqml.bridge.bundled.*=true'.

Standalone Composer/CMake project under examples/todo/ derived from the
skeleton, demonstrating every Phase 3 architectural primitive in a
non-trivial app. All cross-side wiring is maker-generated; no
handwritten bridge glue.
Generated and customised:
- src/Entity/Todo.php — make:bridge:resource Todo (UUIDv7 id)
- src/Controller/TodoController.php — make:bridge:resource Todo (CRUD)
- src/Controller/MarkAllDoneController.php — make:bridge:command
MarkAllDone, body filled in to flip done=true on every row
- qml/TodoList.qml — make:bridge:resource Todo (starter ListView)
- qml/TodoWindow.qml — make:bridge:window Todo, body customised to
embed a read-only mirror of the same ReactiveListModel
The Phase 1 ping demo is dropped from this app — it doesn't fit the
todo flow and nothing in Main.qml references it.
Main.qml is the real list UI:
- Add input + button (POST /api/todos with optimistic-friendly key).
- Per-row CheckBox + delete button (PATCH/DELETE via
todoModel.invoke() with `pending` role driving opacity).
- "Mark all done" button (POST /api/mark-all-done).
- "Open second window" button (Component { TodoWindow {} } pattern).
Build / run delegated to the same Makefile shape as the skeleton, with
SCRIPT_DIR/QT_BIN updated for the renamed binary (build/qml/todo).
composer.json's path repo points at ../../../framework/php (one level
deeper than the skeleton's path repo).
Verified end-to-end with offscreen QPA: POST/PATCH/DELETE on /api/todos
all round-trip, /api/mark-all-done flips every row, Mercure dual-
publishes on every change. Clean shutdown.
