+# Minimal QEMU variant for vcontainer tools (vdkr/vpdmn)
+#
+# This recipe provides a stripped-down nativesdk QEMU without OpenGL/SDL
+# dependencies, avoiding the mesa -> llvm -> clang build chain.
+#
+# This is separate from the main nativesdk-qemu to avoid affecting other
+# users who may need OpenGL support in their SDK QEMU.
+#
+# VERSION TRACKING: This recipe automatically discovers the QEMU version
+# from oe-core, so no updates are needed when oe-core bumps QEMU.
