📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a new composite GitHub Action at .github/actions/install-linux-deps/action.yml to conditionally install Linux packages via boolean inputs, and refactors .github/workflows/ci.yaml to replace inline apt-get installs with calls to that action in relevant CI jobs.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
New composite action `.github/actions/install-linux-deps/action.yml`	Adds a composite GitHub Action exposing boolean inputs (`gcc-multilib`, `musl-tools`, `gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu`, `clang`) and a shell step that conditionally constructs an apt-get package list and runs `sudo apt-get update` + `sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends` when inputs are true.
CI workflow updates `.github/workflows/ci.yaml`	Replaces inline `sudo apt-get` update/install steps with `uses: ./.github/actions/install-linux-deps` invocations in multiple jobs (x86 32bit, aarch64, wasm-wasi), passing feature flags; minor whitespace adjustment near Wasmer setup.

Poem

🐰 I tumbled through CI with a twitchy nose,

One tiny action where the package list grows.
Flags like little carrots, picked when they're due,
Now installs are tidy — compact and true. 🥕
