Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing weekly CI job and the linked rust-training weekly-canary-build.yml workflow. Compare how full example binaries and targets are selected, then determine whether the proposed checks should also run in QEMU. Done means the regular CI job automatically verifies the agreed demo binaries across the relevant targets.

Description

Occasionally nightly Rust can have breakages in certain targets; we could catch these automatically by extending our existing weekly CI job to include building some full example binaries and possibly running in qemu. See https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg/discussions/941#discussioncomment-18655582, https://github.com/rust-embedded/aarch32/issues/227, https://github.com/ferrous-systems/rust-training/blob/main/.github/workflows/weekly-canary-build.yml.
