Code Review
This pull request effectively decouples the build and install steps in the Makefile by introducing a new all target for building and removing the build dependency from the install target. This is a good change that follows standard Makefile practices and solves the issue of unintended rebuilds in different environments. The addition of checks in the install target to ensure build artifacts exist is also a great improvement for user experience. I have one suggestion to make the completion artifact check more robust.

The Makefile's CARGO_FEATURES auto-detection based on /usr/lib/os-release can produce different results in the install environment vs build environment. This causes 'make install' to rebuild the binary without the intended features (e.g., rhsm). Pass CARGO_FEATURES explicitly to ensure the install step doesn't trigger an unwanted rebuild with different features.
