Replace asmdef GUID references

[dsarno]

Summary

• replace GUID-based asmdef references with assembly names
• avoid missing GUID resolution when importing as a Git package

Fixes #563

Testing

• Unity EditMode tests (UnityMCPTests) — pass (second run; first failed due to console logs disabled)
• Unity PlayMode tests (UnityMCPTests) — pass
• Server pytest suite — pass

Summary by Sourcery

Enhancements:

• Update MCPForUnity Editor and Runtime asmdef files to reference other assemblies by name instead of GUIDs to avoid GUID resolution issues.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated assembly dependencies to use explicit package references instead of GUID-based references for improved clarity and maintainability. The Newtonsoft.Json library is now directly referenced by name in both Editor and Runtime assembly configurations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Two assembly definition files updated to replace GUID-based references with named assembly references. Both MCPForUnity.Editor.asmdef and MCPForUnity.Runtime.asmdef now reference "Newtonsoft.Json" by name instead of by GUID, improving compatibility when imported as a Git package.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Assembly Definition Reference Updates MCPForUnity/Editor/MCPForUnity.Editor.asmdef, MCPForUnity/Runtime/MCPForUnity.Runtime.asmdef	Replaced GUID-based reference ("GUID:560b04d1a97f54a46a2660c3cc343a6f") with named package reference "Newtonsoft.Json" in references array (1 line changed per file)

🐰 A GUID was lost when packages roam,
Assembly names now guide us home!
Newtonsoft.Json, clear and true,
No more null refs for me or you! ✨

Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR fully addresses issue #563 by replacing GUID-based references in both MCPForUnity.Editor.asmdef and MCPForUnity.Runtime.asmdef with 'Newtonsoft.Json', solving the null reference compilation issue for Git package imports.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	All changes are within scope—only two asmdef files were modified to replace GUID references with assembly names, exactly as required by issue #563.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.

Learning: ComponentResolver in UnityMcpBridge/Editor/Tools/ManageGameObject.cs is a nested static class within ManageGameObject, not a sibling type. The `using static MCPForUnity.Editor.Tools.ManageGameObject;` import is required to access ComponentResolver methods directly without the outer class qualifier.

MCPForUnity/Editor/MCPForUnity.Editor.asmdef (1)

4-7: LGTM!

Replacing the GUID-based reference with the named assembly reference "Newtonsoft.Json" is the correct fix for Git package imports. Named references are resolved by assembly name rather than AssetDatabase GUIDs, making them portable across different import methods.

MCPForUnity/Runtime/MCPForUnity.Runtime.asmdef (1)

4-6: LGTM!

Consistent with the Editor assembly definition change—replacing the GUID reference with "Newtonsoft.Json" ensures the reference remains valid when the package is imported via Git.
