# [Neural Link] Implement toJSON in state.Provider

Implement the `toJSON` method in `src/state/Provider.mjs` to support the Neural Link serialization protocol.

It should return an object containing:
- Properties from `super.toJSON()`
- `component`: ID of the associated component (to avoid circular references)
- `data`: The hierarchical data object
- `parent`: ID of the parent provider (to avoid circular references)
- `stores`: A mapped object where each store instance is serialized via its `toJSON()` method.
- `windowId`: The associated window ID

**Input from Gemini:**

> ✦ I have implemented the `toJSON` method in `src/state/Provider.mjs`. It now returns the following structure:
> ```javascript
> {
>     ...super.toJSON(),
>     component: me.component?.id,
>     data     : me.data,
>     parent   : me.parent?.id,
>     stores   : { /* mapped stores toJSON() */ },
>     windowId : me.windowId
> }
> ```
> This enables proper serialization for the Neural Link, including recursive serialization of stores.
