| - The concrete `<build-dir>` used in the cloud VM is `build-clang`, built with `clang++` + Ninja. | ||
| - `clang` selects the gcc-14 toolchain for its C++ runtime, so `libstdc++-14-dev` must be installed (the update script installs it together with `ninja-build`). Without it, even the CMake compiler check fails with `cannot find -lstdc++`. `cmake`, `clang-18`, and `g++-13` are already present in the base image. | ||
| - Configure command that works here (the `-C .github/workflows/linux_initial_cache.txt` seed pre-answers c-ares feature probes): | ||
| `cmake -B build-clang -G Ninja -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -C .github/workflows/linux_initial_cache.txt -S .` |

This is wrong. Do not use precompiled cmake cache.
This intended only for CI/CD to make build faster only because it clean builds every time.
For development and local release builds cache should be generated also locally.
| ### Dependencies (CPM) | ||
|
|
||
| - There is no vendored dependency tree: all third-party libs (libsodium, libhydrogen, libbcrypt, c-ares, etl, stdexec, numeric, aether-miscpp, gcem, ini.h) are fetched from GitHub at **cmake configure time** by CPM. Configuring therefore needs network + git. | ||
| - Export `CPM_SOURCE_CACHE=$HOME/.cache/CPM` before configuring so re-configures reuse the download cache instead of re-cloning into the build dir. This is optional but much faster. |

Also add something like:
"You have to clean cache to update dependencies"
| ### Smoke test caveat (important) | ||
|
|
||
| - `aether-client-cpp-cloud` reliably completes the **registration** phase from the cloud VM: both clients A and B register with the registration cloud (`Registration confirmed` / `Client registered`) and a persistent `state/` dir is written. | ||
| - The subsequent **peer-to-peer messaging** phase does not complete here: the assigned work-cloud relay servers (e.g. `34.60.244.148:9021`) accept TCP but never answer the UDP ping/relay traffic, so `received_count` stays `0`. The binary then crashes on that connection-failure path. This is an external work-cloud reachability limitation (not a build/env problem), so treat successful registration + `state/` creation as the working end-to-end signal in this environment rather than a clean exit 0. |

This wrong. What does it mean "an external work-cloud reachability limitation"? If you have an internet it should work, isn't it?

Summary
Sets up and validates the development environment for
aether-client-cppon the Cursor Cloud VM, and documents the non-obvious setup steps for future agents.The only code change is documentation: a new

clangselects the gcc-14 runtime, solibstdc++-14-devis required.received_count=0), and the binary crashes on that failure path. This is an external work-cloud reachability limitation, documented inAGENTS.md.
