Exclude GCC implicit exception branches from coverage report

[fernandotonon]

Summary

• Add --exclude-throw-branches and --exclude-unreachable-branches flags to the gcovr command in CI
• GCC's --coverage generates 2 branches for every function call (normal return vs exception thrown), causing SonarCloud to report "1 of 2 conditions" on simple calls like writeObjects() that have no actual branching logic
• These gcovr flags filter out compiler-generated exception/unreachable branches, so condition coverage reflects real logic branches only

Test plan

• CI builds and runs tests successfully
• SonarCloud condition coverage no longer shows partial coverage on plain function calls

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GitHub Actions deploy workflow is updated to add two exclusion filters (--exclude-throw-branches and --exclude-unreachable-branches) to the gcovr coverage reporting command in the Linux coverage generation step. This refines the coverage metrics by filtering specific branch types.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflow Configuration .github/workflows/deploy.yml	Added two gcovr exclusion flags (--exclude-throw-branches, --exclude-unreachable-branches) to narrow coverage report scope for SonarQube analysis.

Poem

🐰 Branches trimmed and branches cleared,
Unreachable paths disappeared,
Coverage metrics sharp and clean,
The finest scopes we've ever seen!
With throw-branches cast away,
Our reports are bright today! ✨
