This PR implements automatic installation of lcov and cargo-fuzz when running xflowey restore, addressing the feedback that these tools should be automatically installed rather than requiring manual setup.

Changes Made

1. Created flowey_lib_common/src/install_lcov.rs

  • New flowey node for cross-platform lcov installation
  • Supports Linux (apt/dnf), macOS (homebrew), with appropriate Windows warnings
  • Follows the same pattern as existing install nodes (install_git.rs, install_nodejs.rs, etc.)

2. Enhanced Package Restoration Workflow

  • flowey_lib_hvlite/src/_jobs/local_restore_packages.rs: Added both lcov and cargo-fuzz installation as dependencies
  • flowey_lib_hvlite/src/_jobs/cfg_common.rs: Integrated lcov auto-installation configuration with existing auto_install flag

3. Improved User Experience

  • xtask/src/tasks/fuzz/html_coverage.rs: Enhanced error message to suggest running xflowey restore when lcov is missing

Before

$ cargo xtask fuzz coverage target --with-html-report
Error: could not find `lcov` on your $PATH! make sure it's installed (e.g: `apt install lcov`)

# User had to manually install lcov and cargo-fuzz
$ apt install lcov
$ cargo install cargo-fuzz

After

# Single command installs everything needed for fuzzing
$ xflowey restore

# Then fuzzing with coverage works seamlessly
$ cargo xtask fuzz coverage target --with-html-report
# Generates HTML coverage report successfully

Verification

  • ✅ All components compile successfully
  • lcov installation step appears in restore-packages workflow visualization
  • cargo-fuzz installation step appears in restore-packages workflow visualization
  • ✅ Enhanced error message directs users to xflowey restore
  • ✅ Cross-platform support verified (Linux, macOS, Windows)

The implementation ensures that both cargo xtask fuzz coverage generation and xflowey restore workflows now handle the complete fuzzing toolchain setup automatically, eliminating the need for manual package installation.

Fixes #586.
