AI Module Files Being Compiled

modules/aethex_ai/
├── register_types.cpp       - Module registration
├── ai_assistant.cpp          - Main AI singleton
├── ai_code_completion.cpp    - Code completion helper
└── api/ai_api_client.cpp     - Claude API HTTP client

After Build Completes

1. Locate the Binary

The compiled editor will be at:

/workspaces/AeThex-Engine-Core/engine/bin/aethex.linuxbsd.editor.x86_64

2. Run the Editor

cd /workspaces/AeThex-Engine-Core/engine
./bin/aethex.linuxbsd.editor.x86_64

3. Configure AI Features

In Editor Settings:

• Add your Claude API key
• Enable AI Assistant
• Test code completion

4. Verify Branding

Check for:

• "AeThex Engine" title
• Cyan/purple theme
• Custom hexagon logo
• AeThex menu (between Editor and Help)
• About dialog shows "AeThex Labs"

Troubleshooting

If Build Fails

1. Check build.log for errors
2. Install missing dependencies:

   sudo apt-get install -y build-essential scons pkg-config \
     libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libgl1-mesa-dev \
     libglu-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libudev-dev \
     libxi-dev libxrandr-dev yasm
   

3. Clean and rebuild:

   scons --clean
   scons platform=linuxbsd target=editor -j2
   

If Editor Crashes

• Check GPU driver support (Vulkan/OpenGL)
• Try software rendering: ./bin/aethex.* --rendering-driver opengl3

If AI Module Doesn't Work

• Ensure Claude API key is set
• Check network connectivity to api.anthropic.com
• Review AIAssistant logs in console
