Summary

  • Adds the required git submodule init && git submodule update step to the VCSRender build instructions in the README
  • Without this step, builds fail due to missing submodule dependencies (e.g. canvex-skia)
  • Matches the build order documented in the upstream vcsrender README

Test plan

  • Verify the updated README renders correctly on GitHub
  • Confirm instruction order matches upstream docs

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The build instructions omitted the required `git submodule init && git submodule update`
step, causing builds to fail due to missing submodule dependencies (e.g. canvex-skia).

Hi friends from Daily. I ran into this while trying to get the VCS thingy setup locally, so figured it would help someone else. I guess it technically says to read that repo's README, but it does seem to need the submodule init regardless of the state of your meson install.
