InspectorView

Remarks

Everything it draws came from a generator. The member list, the attribute metadata and the accessors are compile-time facts registered by module initializers — no reflection pass, no assembly scan, and a member that could not be described was a build warning rather than a row that quietly never appears.

Several targets at once, which is what an inspector is for. Selecting twenty objects and setting one field on all of them is the operation; showing the first one's values and silently editing only that is the bug. Where the targets disagree the editors say so, and typing into one writes to every one of them — Read and Write are where that lives, so a third-party drawer gets it for free.

Every edit is an IEditorCommand on the document's stack, produced by the field rather than by the drawer, so undo works without per-drawer effort and a drawer that wrote a member directly is a visible mistake rather than an invisible one.
