What problem does it solve?

Developers frequently need to verify their changes haven't broken the build or introduced crashes, a repetitive manual process that consumes valuable development time and can lead to unstable development environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Clean Debug Build: Performs a full debug build, detecting and categorizing compilation warnings and errors to ensure a clean codebase.
• Smoke Test for Crash Detection: Runs the application briefly to catch immediate crashes, segmentation faults, assertion failures, or critical SDL errors.
• Core Test Suite Execution: Runs essential functional tests to ensure core systems are still working as expected after recent changes.
• Summary Report: Generates a concise report detailing build status, warning counts, and test results, providing a quick overview of codebase health.
• Use Case: After making a series of changes, run a "build validation pipeline" to quickly confirm that the codebase compiles cleanly, the application doesn't crash on startup, and core functionalities remain intact, ensuring a stable development environment.
