#### Frictionless Android Runtime Debugger & MCP Server

Barbatos is a zero-setup Android runtime debugger designed to bring the power of
Frida to developers and AI agents without the complexity of manual setup.
It grants the ability to deeply understand an app's behavior, reveal hidden
states in the heap, and modify execution flow in real-time.

Main Features:

* Class Discovery: Real-time enumeration of loaded Java/Kotlin classes.
* Deep Inspection: Recursive traversal of object hierarchies (Fields, Maps,
  Collections).
* Method Hooking: Intercept execution flow, inspect arguments, and capture
  return values.
* Live Field Editing: Modify primitive field values (String, Int, Boolean)
  instantly.
* AI-Driven Debugging: Built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server to let
  LLMs (Claude/Cursor) debug your app autonomously.

This snap includes:

* 'barbatos': The interactive TUI shell.
* 'barbatos.bridge': The Frida RPC bridge (required for TUI and MCP).
* 'barbatos.mcp': The MCP server for connecting AI agents.

Note: After installation, run 'sudo snap connect barbatos:adb-support'
to allow the debugger to communicate with your Android devices.
