Mode 3 loads a CERN LCG view from /cvmfs (ROOT/Geant4/GSL/Garfield) and builds only REST on top -- tested on NAF-IAXO (RHEL9, LCG_109). Includes: - Garfield shim for the CVMFS layout (lib64, no CMake config) + Heed include flag - temporary patches for modern Garfield (ComponentBase->Component) and the restG4 C++20 Geant4 check (LCG ships C++20; REST builds fine with it) - pull the restG4 package when Geant4 is enabled - REST_HOME set to a writable path + warning when installing under AFS $HOME - .bashrc setup that also ensures the login profile sources it (login shells, SSH) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Garfield's ROOT dictionary records its headers under "Include/Garfield/" (capital I, old layout), but LCG installs them lowercase, so cling prints ~50 harmless "Missing FileEntry" warnings at restRoot startup. Add a capital-Include symlink to the Garfield shim and put it on ROOT_INCLUDE_PATH (in the Mode 3 .bashrc), which makes the warnings go away. Verified on NAF-IAXO.

- Restore --latest as the default submodule strategy (option 2 = pinned remains available, recommended if a latest build fails). Reverts the pinned default introduced during the Mode 3 merge, back to the PR's original intent. - README: add the Mode 3 (CVMFS) section, note restG4 is pulled when Geant4 is enabled, the login-shell .bashrc sourcing, and CVMFS/RHEL9 under requirements.

Use "--clean" instead of "Pinned" for the framework-recorded submodule versions, consistent with the pull-submodules.py --clean flag and the project's wording. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Tested on Titan, Sultan and personal machine with WSL/Ubuntu.
Tested in NAF-IAXO using CVMFS install. It loads a CERN LCG view from /cvmfs (ROOT, Geant4, GSL, Garfield) and builds only REST on top.
Not yet tested in macOS (likely needs changes to package installation and possibly compiler flags).
