// MappedList<Source, Target> — a 1:1 projection of an ObservableList.
//
// Given a source list `ObservableList<Source>` and a mapper
// `Target(const Source&)` (returning `shared_ptr<Target>`), MappedList
// exposes a parallel list of Targets that tracks the source:
//
//   source: [Person("alice"), Person("bob"), ...]
//   mapper: [](const Person& p) { return std::make_shared<PersonVM>(p); }
//   ↓
//   mapped: [PersonVM("alice"), PersonVM("bob"), ...]
//
// A MappedList is the canonical way to turn a domain-level list into
// a view-model-level list without wiring per-row subscription glue by
// hand. The derived list emits the same ListChange<Target> vocabulary
// ObservableList / FilteredList / SortedList use, so adapters
// (QtListModel etc.) can consume it identically.
//
// Identity preservation:
//   `st.targets[i]` IS the authoritative cache — there is no
//   separate `Source* → Target` map. Move / ItemChanged just leave
//   the slot alone (or move it), so the Target pointer that was
//   live before is still live after. Replace / Remove drop the
//   slot; external shared_ptr refs keep the Target alive if the
//   caller still holds one.
//
// ItemChanged policy:
//   By default, ItemChanged propagates as `ItemChanged(j, target_ptr)`
//   *without* re-running the mapper. Rationale: Targets are usually
//   long-lived ViewModels that already subscribe to the Source
//   themselves (via `Source::on_changed` inside `PersonVM`). A
//   re-map would churn the identity for no benefit.
//
//   Call `MappedList<S,T>(src, mapper, /*remap_on_change=*/true)` to
//   invalidate the slot and re-invoke the mapper on every
//   ItemChanged — suitable when Target is a cheap, immutable
//   snapshot that must rebuild on each update.
//
// Event-translation contract:
//
//     Source event            Derived behaviour
//     ────────────────        ──────────────────────────────────────────
//     Insert(i, x)            Insert(i, mapper(x))
//     Remove(i)               Remove(i, old_target.get())
//     Replace(i, x_new)       Replace(i, mapper(x_new))
//     ItemChanged(i)          ItemChanged(i, target_ptr) by default;
//                             Replace(i, new_target) with remap_on_change
//     Move(from, to)          Move(from, to, target_ptr)
//     Reset                   Reset (fully rebuilt from the post-reset
//                             source snapshot)
//
// Thread-safety and lifetime: same shape as FilteredList / SortedList.
