Description

[Blocked on upgrading the minimum CMake support to 3.24]

  • Use File Sets for headers to define install manifests per component.
  • Create a CI test to verify header file sets using CMake's VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS.

See: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS.html

Research direction

The issue names no specific files or tests. First confirm the minimum CMake version and locate the component install manifests and CI configuration; then review CMake file-set documentation and VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS. Done means header file sets define per-component install manifests and CI verifies the interface headers.
