- CMake configuration files
- pkg-config files

## Release 2a Scope Filtering

### Excluded Components (Confirmed)
- ❌ svcAesClient, svcAesCommon, svcAlertService, ... (37 svc* services)
- ❌ NGL*Tests executables (test directories)
- ❌ GrantleeTests, QmlTests
- ❌ LtsElevation (depends on excluded AssetManagement)
- ❌ AssetManagement module

### Filter Implementation
The `is_release2a_scope()` function in `make_rpm_ubuntu26_release2.py` excludes:
```python
- svc* directories (except svcCoreClient)
- *Tests directories (except GrantleeTests, QmlTests)
- LtsElevation
- AssetManagement
```

## Validation Steps

### 1. Package Existence Check
```bash
ls -lh /tmp/packages-out/
# Expected: 4 .deb files
```

### 2. Package Contents Verification
```bash
dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-core*.deb
dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-dds*.deb
dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-tools*.deb
dpkg -c /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-dev*.deb
```

### 3. Exclusion Verification
```bash
# Verify no svc* services (except svcCoreClient) in packages
dpkg -c *.deb | grep -E "svc[A-Z]" | grep -v svcCoreClient
# Expected: No results

# Verify no test executables
dpkg -c *.deb | grep -i "test"
# Expected: No results (except test headers if included in -dev)
```

### 4. Dependency Check
```bash
dpkg -I /tmp/packages-out/guez-release2-*.deb
# Verify dependencies on external packages (Qt6, RTI DDS, etc.)
```

## Known Issues and Resolutions

### Resolved During Release 2a
1. **LtsSession dependency chain:** Added LtsMultiMonitor and PluginInterfaces to scope
2. **Target name casing:** Fixed ddsview (lowercase) and ngl_codegen
3. **DEB packaging paths:** Fixed /workspace → ${DOCKER_MOUNT_ROOT}
4. **log_error() function:** Added to Docker inline script with proper quote escaping
5. **Release 2a filter:** Applied is_release2a_scope() to exclude out-of-scope files

### Expected Warnings
- Missing include directories for excluded modules (AssetManagement, etc.) - harmless
- CTest failures for test executables not built in Release 2a scope - expected
