Description

It seems like `gcov` cannot locate generated C sources correctly.

```
[1/1] Generating HTML coverage report.
FAILED: coverage-html

Research direction

Reproduce the `coverage-html` command shown in the report and inspect how generated C source paths are passed from Meson to `gcovr`. The work is done when detailed HTML coverage completes without failing to open `build/auth-test.c`.
