+ * ggaze — entry point
+ *
+ * Builds the GgazeApp, registers the `--version` option, and hands control to
+ * g_application_run. `--help` is provided by GApplication itself; `--version`
+ * is handled in handle-local-options and exits before any window is created
+ * (so it works headless, which the unit test relies on). See docs/roadmap.md
+ * M0.
