 `cpp-library` provides a standardized CMake infrastructure template for C++ libraries. It eliminates boilerplate and provides consistent patterns for:
 
 - **Project Declaration**: Uses existing `project()` declaration with automatic git tag-based versioning
-- **Library Setup**: INTERFACE targets with proper installation and package config
 - **Testing**: Integrated doctest with CTest and compile-fail test support
 - **Documentation**: Doxygen with doxygen-awesome-css theme
 - **Development Tools**: clangd integration, CMakePresets.json, clang-tidy support

 ### Non-Header-Only Library Support

-    Both header-only and compiled libraries are supported seamlessly.
