Title: Build failure due to missing test_interface_files when following README setup

Description:

While following the manual setup instructions in the README (without using the .repos file), the build fails due to a missing dependency.

Error:
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "test_interface_files"

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Follow README manual cloning steps
  2. Run colcon build

Observed behavior:

  • Build fails at test_msgs due to missing test_interface_files

Expected behavior:

  • Setup instructions should include all required dependencies OR clearly recommend using the .repos file

Environment:

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04
  • ROS 2: Humble
  • Build system: colcon

Additional context:
This issue does not occur when using:
vcs import src < ros2_rust_humble.repos

Possible causes:

  • Missing dependency in manual setup instructions
  • Inconsistency between README and .repos workflow
