Research direction
Start with libvips.yaml, especially its packages list, and review the existing libvips package recipe. Build or install the package, then run vips --vips-config and verify that HEIC/AVIF support through libheif is enabled. Done means the package exposes libheif-backed HEIC/AVIF load and save support.
