fix: ensure jq is installed and add coverage generation in GitHub Act…

…ions (#1238)

# Description

This PR addresses two issues:
1. Ensuring that `jq` is installed before using it in the Makefile.
2. Adding a `make coverage` step in the GitHub Actions workflow to
generate coverage files prior to uploading artifacts.
