#### Freedesktop URI scheme handlers, .desktop Exec templates & RFC 3986 parser

URL Scheme Handler Inspector is a desktop URI protocol association viewer, Freedesktop
launcher catalog, and interactive RFC 3986 deep-link parser for Linux desktops.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by desktop URL protocol viewer utilities, it
indexes live x-scheme-handler/\* entries across system, Snap, Flatpak, and user .desktop
files alongside mimeinfo.cache and mimeapps.list defaults.

Key Features:

* XDG URI Scheme & MIME Association Indexer: Reads x-scheme-handler/\* registrations
  (http, https, file, snap, mailto, ssh, magnet, vscode, and custom app protocols) from
  host /usr/share/applications, /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications, user launchers,
  mimeinfo.cache, and ~/.config/mimeapps.list.
* Desktop Entry & Exec Template Inspector: Displays application names, Desktop IDs,
  Exec= command-line templates, field code placeholders (%u, %U, %f, %F), categories,
  and user default overrides.
* RFC 3986 URI Breakdown & Deep-Link Tester: Decomposes any URI into scheme, authority,
  host, port, path, query key-value pairs, and fragment with live Exec= argv expansion
  preview and optional desktop dispatch.
* Structured Reports & User Defaults: Supports updating user default scheme associations
  in ~/.config/mimeapps.list and exporting full catalogs to CSV and JSON.
