Description
In the `CMakeLists.txt` we have:
```
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8)
```
But we've never verified that 3.8 is actually needed for the features used in the `CMakeLists.txt`. Ideally if we don't use features requiring 3.8 we could drop this version down to make it less likely a developer would need to upgrade `cmake` on their system.

Research direction
Review CMakeLists.txt and identify which commands and options determine the minimum required CMake version. Verify the lowest compatible version against the features used, then update the requirement if appropriate and confirm the project still configures successfully with that version.
