4. Build and run the tests before submitting:

   cmake -S . -B build

   To compile a single test directly: g++ -std=c++17 -pthread -Iinclude tests/levels.cpp -o levels && ./levels
5. Open a pull request (PR) with a clear, descriptive title and summary.
6. Participate in code review. Please be responsive, constructive, and open!

Reporting Issues

• Search for existing issues first.
• Open an Issue with a clear description, steps to reproduce, your platform, and expected vs. actual behavior.
• Bug reports, documentation, and feature requests all welcome!

Code Style

• Modern C++17. Prefer clarity, consistency, and minimal macros.
• Document any public APIs in comments.
