📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CMake configuration now keeps version 3.28 for other non-Apple platforms, keeps version 3.31 for Apple platforms, and requires version 4.2 for Windows. Windows CMake presets and the fallback build generator now use Visual Studio 18 2026. The x64 Debug preset is renamed to x64-Debug, and the MinSizeRel, Release, and RelWithDebInfo presets inherit from it.

preserving the existing generator and other preset settings.

Windows builds may fail because the new Visual Studio 2026 configuration is inconsistent with the fallback generator and declared CMake requirement. The PR is not merge-ready until these configuration mismatches are corrected or explicitly accepted.

@coderabbitai: Thanks, resolved
