" summary

Live demo shows a full C++ project (OpenTTD) configured, built and debugged on a vanilla Mac and on Windows+WSL then run in parallel, with vcpkg manifest pulling from a catalog of ~1900 libraries, CMake presets shared for team-wide reproducible builds, and Clang-Tidy running on save with quick fixes. Features exercised include CMake presets, vcpkg manifest mode, GitHub copilot suggestions for config, data breakpoints to catch a tunnel-label bug, Live Share pairing to fix it, and Codespaces for cloud dev — all working end to end.
