    \class InjaBridge
    \brief Adapter for converting Qt JSON types to Inja template engine format.
 
    InjaBridge provides static methods to convert between Qt's native JSON types
    (QJsonObject, QJsonArray, QJsonValue) and nlohmann::json, which is the data
    format expected by the Inja template engine.
 
    This adapter allows QDoc to maintain its Qt-native API while leveraging
    Inja for template-based documentation generation. All JSON data in QDoc's
    intermediate representation (IR) uses Qt types, and InjaBridge handles the
    conversion when rendering templates.
 
    \note All numbers in QJsonValue are stored as doubles. Whole-number doubles
    (e.g., 30.0, 2.0) are converted to int64_t so that template output renders
    them as integers (e.g., "30" not "30.0"). Fractional values pass through
    as doubles.
 
    \note Inja and nlohmann::json may report template or data errors. QDoc is
    built with exceptions disabled (\c{-fno-exceptions}), so such errors are
    treated as fatal and will terminate the process. A custom \c INJA_THROW
    override in the header ensures that error details (including source
    location) are logged via \c qFatal() before termination, rather than
    calling \c std::abort() silently.
 
    All render methods register format-specific escaping callbacks:
    \list
    \li \c{escape_html()} escapes HTML special characters (\c{&}, \c{<},
        \c{>}, \c{"}, \c{'}).
    \li \c{escape_md_table()} escapes pipe characters and collapses newlines
        for safe use inside Markdown table cells.
    \endlist
    This keeps format-specific escaping under template author control rather
    than baking it into the rendering bridge.
