refactor: Modularize CMake build system into 10 specialized modules

Refactor monolithic 866-line CMakeLists.txt into 54-line orchestrator + 10 modules: - DemoOptions.cmake - Build option declarations - DemoConfig.cmake - Option implications and platform detection - DemoCommon.cmake - Shared macros (conditional sources, size opts, linking) - DemoDependencies.cmake - External library discovery (WGPU, GLFW) - DemoSourceLists.cmake - Conditional source file lists - DemoLibraries.cmake - Subsystem library targets - DemoTools.cmake - Build tools (asset_packer, compilers) - DemoCodegen.cmake - Code generation (assets, timeline, music) - DemoExecutables.cmake - Main binaries (demo64k, test_demo) - DemoTests.cmake - Test infrastructure (36 tests) - Validation.cmake - Uniform buffer validation Benefits: - 94% reduction in main file size (866 → 54 lines) - Conditional module inclusion (tests only parsed if DEMO_BUILD_TESTS=ON) - Shared macros eliminate 200+ lines of repetition - Clear separation of concerns All 36 tests passing. All build modes verified. Documentation: Created doc/CMAKE_MODULES.md with module architecture. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+## CMake Module Structure
+
+The build system uses a modular architecture with 10+ specialized modules. See `doc/CMAKE_MODULES.md` for:
+- Module hierarchy and dependencies
+- Shared macro documentation
+- How to add new components
+
+Key modules:
+- `cmake/DemoOptions.cmake` - Build options
+- `cmake/DemoTests.cmake` - Test infrastructure
+- `cmake/DemoCommon.cmake` - Shared macros
+
+The top-level `CMakeLists.txt` is now just 54 lines (94% reduction from 866 lines).

+# CMake Module Hierarchy
+
+**Purpose:** Document the modular CMake architecture for developers and AI agents.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The build system is split into 10 specialized modules under `cmake/`:
+
+- **DemoOptions.cmake** - Build option declarations (10 flags)
+- **DemoConfig.cmake** - Option implications + platform detection
+- **DemoDependencies.cmake** - External library discovery (WGPU, GLFW)
+- **DemoCommon.cmake** - Shared macros and utilities
+- **DemoSourceLists.cmake** - Conditional source file lists
+- **DemoLibraries.cmake** - Subsystem library targets (util, audio, gpu, 3d, procedural)
+- **DemoTools.cmake** - Build tools (asset_packer, seq_compiler, tracker_compiler)
+- **DemoCodegen.cmake** - Code generation (assets, timeline, music)
+- **DemoExecutables.cmake** - Main binaries (demo64k, test_demo)
+- **DemoTests.cmake** - Test infrastructure (36 tests)
+- **Validation.cmake** - Uniform buffer validation
+
+---
+

+
+## Shared Macros (DemoCommon.cmake)
+
+### `demo_set_conditional_sources(VAR HEADLESS_LIST STRIP_LIST NORMAL_LIST)`
+Simplifies 3-branch conditional source lists based on build mode.
+
+**Example:**
+```cmake
+demo_set_conditional_sources(GPU_SOURCES
+    "${headless_list}"
+    "${strip_list}"
+    "${normal_list}"
+)
+```
+
+### `demo_apply_size_optimizations(TARGET)`
+Applies platform-specific size optimization flags (MSVC/APPLE/Linux).
+
+**Example:**
+```cmake
+demo_apply_size_optimizations(demo64k)
+```
+
+### `demo_link_libraries_ordered(TARGET)`
+Links subsystem libraries in correct order with platform quirks.
+
+**Example:**
+```cmake
+demo_link_libraries_ordered(demo64k)
+```
+
+### `demo_add_test_with_deps(NAME TEST_NAME LABEL SOURCES... LINK libs... DEPENDS targets...)`
+Streamlined test registration with automatic dependency handling.
+
+**Example:**
+```cmake
+demo_add_test_with_deps(test_window HammingWindowTest audio
+    src/tests/audio/test_window.cc
+    LINK audio util procedural ${DEMO_LIBS}
+    DEPENDS generate_demo_assets
+)
+```
+
+### `add_demo_executable(NAME SOURCES...)`
+Creates an executable for the demo (legacy macro).
+
+### `add_demo_test(NAME TEST_NAME LABEL SOURCES...)`
+Creates a test executable and registers it with CTest (legacy macro).
+
+---
+
+## Conditional Inclusion
+
+Modules are conditionally included based on build options:
+
+- **Always:** Options, Config, Dependencies, SourceLists, Libraries, Codegen, Executables, Validation
+- **Conditional:** Tools (if DEMO_BUILD_TOOLS OR DEMO_BUILD_TESTS OR NOT DEMO_STRIP_EXTERNAL_LIBS)
+- **Conditional:** Tests (if DEMO_BUILD_TESTS)
+
+This reduces parse time when building without tests/tools.
+
+---
+
+## Adding New Components
+
+### New Effect
+- Add sources to `cmake/DemoSourceLists.cmake` (GPU_SOURCES list)
+- No other CMake changes needed
+
+### New Test
+- Add to `cmake/DemoTests.cmake` using `demo_add_test_with_deps()`
+- Use LINK and DEPENDS parameters for libraries/assets
+
+### New Library
+- Add to `cmake/DemoLibraries.cmake` with appropriate dependencies
+- Update `demo_link_libraries_ordered()` macro in `cmake/DemoCommon.cmake` if needed
+
+### New Tool
+- Add to `cmake/DemoTools.cmake` following asset_packer pattern
+- Set tool command variable for use in code generation
+
+---
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Maintainability:** Each subsystem in its own file—easier to understand and modify
+2. **Performance:** Conditional inclusion—tests not parsed unless DEMO_BUILD_TESTS=ON
+3. **Modularity:** Clear boundaries—tools, tests, libs, executables separated
+4. **Reusability:** Shared macros—eliminate 200+ lines of repetition
+5. **Clarity:** Top-level CMakeLists.txt is 54-line roadmap
+6. **Scalability:** Easy to add new tests/tools/libraries without bloating main file
+

+
+## Size Reduction
+
+**Before:** 866 lines (monolithic)
+**After:** 54 lines (orchestrator) + 10 modules
+**Reduction:** 94% (exceeds 91% target)
