# CMake

Modern target-first CMake for C/C++ projects. Grounded against CMake 4.4.3; the examples floor at CMake 3.25 so the preset schema version 6 works.

## Contract

| Field | Bound contract |
|---|---|
| Trigger | The task writes or refactors `CMakeLists.txt`, configures out-of-source builds, selects generators, manages targets with `target_link_libraries`, integrates packages via `find_package` or `FetchContent`, enables sanitizers, writes toolchain files, sets up presets, or resolves a cmake configure error. |
| Authority | Reversible local: writes only `CMakeLists.txt`, `CMakePresets.json`, toolchain files, and the build directory; rollback is version control plus deleting the build directory. No remote mutation. |
| Side effect | `cmake --build` and `cmake --install` write local build outputs and install trees; `FetchContent` downloads declared dependencies. |
| Done | The project configures and builds with the requested options, or the failing command and its error are reported. |
