feat(tool): install nub from GitHub release binaries

[jpenilla]

Add nub as an installable tool using the prebuilt binaries from
nubjs/nub releases. This follows the
discussion on #7054:
release binaries can be cached and their published SHA-256 checksums verified,
without installing the npm package or requiring Node to install nub.

The install service selects the Linux x64 or arm64 archive, verifies its
checksum, and preserves the archive's bin/ and runtime/ layout. This also
adds custom-registry URL examples and installation coverage for both
architectures in the test/latest images.

Context

This is a separate implementation of the nub support proposed in #7054.
The companion Renovate manager change is
renovatebot/renovate#44422.

AI assistance disclosure

This change was written with substantive assistance from an AI coding agent.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for installing nub on Linux x64 and ARM64, with release checksum verification and version checks.
  • Added nub installation examples for custom registries.
• Tests
  • Added installation coverage for both architectures, including checksum validation and CLI version checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a Nub installer that verifies release checksums, extracts versioned archives, links the binary directory, and runs a version check. It registers the installer in the CLI, documents release URLs, and adds Nub to Docker test images and Renovate rules.

Changes

Nub installation support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Nub release installation docs/custom-registries.md, src/cli/tools/nub.ts, src/cli/tools/nub.spec.ts	Documents Nub release archive and checksum URLs. Adds an installer for x64 and arm64 assets that verifies SHA-256 checksums, extracts the archive, links the bin directory, and runs nub --version. Tests cover installation, linking, and the version check.
CLI installer registration src/cli/install-tool/index.ts, src/cli/tools/index.ts	Registers NubInstallService in the install container and adds nub to NoPrepareTools.
Docker test coverage and update rules test/latest/Dockerfile, test/latest/Dockerfile.arm64, .github/renovate.json	Adds Nub to the latest test image setup and tool-test list. Adds nub to the Renovate test dependency rules.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 237f0

Nub installation may succeed while leaving its nubx and nubr commands unavailable. Resolve the existing alias concern before merging unless that limitation is accepted.

🟡 Medium risk · Adds checksum-verified nub release installation for Linux x64 and arm64.

Adds nub as an installable tool using prebuilt binaries from GitHub releases with checksum verification, addressing the missing unit test coverage by adding comprehensive installation tests for both x64 and arm64 architectures.

✅ 1 closed

✅ Quality: New NubInstallService has no unit tests; CI 100% coverage will fail

📄 src/cli/tools/nub.ts:11-25
Every comparable GitHub-release tool here (bun, deno, bazelisk, buf, gh…) comes with a *.spec.ts. nub.ts doesn't have one. vitest.config.ts includes src/cli/**/*.ts in coverage and sets thresholds: { 100: true } on CI. So the lines in install() that fetch the checksum, reject a bad checksum, download and extract, plus the ghArch switch, link() and test(), are never run by a test. That should push coverage under the threshold, and the checksum-parsing and invalid-checksum paths go untested. Fix: add src/cli/tools/nub.spec.ts modeled on bun.spec.ts. It should mock the .sha256 and tarball responses for both x64 and arm64, check the extract layout and the shellwrapper link, and cover the Invalid checksum error.
