meson is not required to run the verify script, we depend on cmake, they
are two independent build systems and meson is not fully supported(e.g,
meson doesn't support iceberg-bundle).

googletest will automatically be made available by cmake's FetchContent, did
you run into some problems?

I once met an issue that the system curl version is too low(something
like curl >= 7.64.0 is required), may I know your
installed curl version? We might need to specify the minimum curl
version in the README.

Thanks for the detailed analysis, I will spawn a Ubuntu 25.10 container
to verify the problem.
