" summary

Coverage shows concrete tooling: modern editors like Neovim, Spacemacs, Doom Emacs and VS Code integrate with the language server protocol so C completions work; two servers, ccls and clangd, run background servers and use a generated scripts/gen_compile_commands or Bear-produced compile_commands.json to be build-aware and jump to definitions in the arch actually compiled. New debuggers Dragon and SDB provide scriptable live introspection; ccache and git-series speed rebuilds and patch tracking.
