Covenant-Setup Smoke Test

This example stays in HKCU and {LocalAppData} so it can be exercised without elevation.

Build single-file installers:

cargo run -- package examples/install.toml --output dist

This emits:

• dist\covenant-setup-installer.exe

The generated installer is a single executable with the manifest and payload embedded into it. It chooses GUI or TUI mode from context, or you can force one explicitly with --headed or --headless.

Run install:

cargo run -- install examples/install.toml --json

Write the journal somewhere explicit:

cargo run -- install examples/install.toml --journal examples/journal.json

Run uninstall:

cargo run -- uninstall examples/journal.json --json

Expected effects:

• Creates %LOCALAPPDATA%\CovenantSetupExample
• Copies sample_app.cmd into the bin directory
• Writes HKCU\Software\CovenantSetupExample\InstallRoot
• Creates a desktop shortcut
• Runs an inline PowerShell post-install command and records only the script execution in the journal
