Headlessly decompile a function in an IDA database and dump its pseudocode, lvars, ctree AST, calls, and microcode — so you can iterate on the ioshelper hex-rays plugin from a shell without staring at IDA's GUI. Use when the user asks to "probe a function", "check what hex-rays produces", "see the pseudo for X", or wants to verify that a plugin change took effect on a specific binary/EA. Two paths: a fast IPC server for iteration (`idat_ipc_launch.sh` + `idat_ipc_client.py`, ~50ms/request) and a cold standalone probe for verification (`probe_func.sh`, ~30-90s per invocation). Both load the ioshelper hooks (`SwiftClassCallHook`, `SwiftPrologRewriteHook`, `SwiftLogRewriteHook`) and run `fix_swift_types()`.
