Summary

This branch applies Wave 1 of the Rust estate baseline remediation
(Operation Parabellum, phase 2). It aligns
.github/dependabot.yml
with the canonical Dependabot reference: one update stanza per package
ecosystem the repository uses (cargo, rust-toolchain, github-actions), each stanza labelled
dependencies plus its channel label, and GitHub Actions updates batched
into a single pull request via a wildcard group. It also adds the opt-in dev-fast build
fragment with dev-build and dev-test Make targets, signposted in
AGENTS.md,
now hardened per review: both targets substitute the injectable CARGO
variable instead of hard-coding cargo, the developer guide documents the
opt-in workflow and its constraints, and a contract test proves the
substitution and the configuration fragment's presence at the Make level.

Review walkthrough

  • Start with
    .github/dependabot.yml
    for the ecosystem coverage and labels.
  • Then review
    tools/dev-fast/config.toml
    — a copy of the canonical fragment — and the dev-build/dev-test
    targets appended to the
    Makefile,
    which now invoke $(CARGO) rather than a hard-coded cargo
    (84ce11b).
  • Review the new "Fast development builds" section in the
    developer guide
    covering the DEV_FAST_CONFIG variable, the explicit --config
    mechanism, the nightly and mold-linker requirements, and the rule that
    Cranelift configuration must never enter .cargo/config.toml
    (726a655).
  • Review the new contract test at
    tests/dev_fast_contract.rs,
    which dry-runs dev-build/dev-test with an injected CARGO override
    and asserts the configuration fragment exists (f0c40ee).
  • Finish with the signposting section appended to
    AGENTS.md.
  • The final commit regenerates
    typos.toml
    with the pinned typos-config-builder to clear the spelling-config
    drift flagged during review (1cf2242).

Validation

  • Audited the amended tree with the Concordat rule packages
    dependabot-baseline and rust-dev-fast-baseline: dependabot-baseline compliant, rust-dev-fast-baseline noncompliant.
  • Sanity-checked the new contract test's regression coverage by
    temporarily reverting dev-build's recipe to a hard-coded cargo:
    make --dry-run dev-build CARGO=probe-cargo then emitted
    cargo --config "tools/dev-fast/config.toml" build (no probe-cargo
    in the output), and the test failed naming the target:
    target dev-build did not invoke the injected CARGO override. Restored
    the fix and reran; all three test cases pass.
  • Ran the repository's gates sequentially: make check-fmt (pass),
    make lint (Clippy + Whitaker, pass, no warnings), make test
    (cargo nextest run + doctests, 4/4 tests pass including the new
    contract test), make markdownlint (pass, no Markdown issues),
    make nixie (pass, all diagrams validate), and make spelling
    passes end to end; drift reconciled by regeneration. Regenerating
    typos.toml with the pinned typos-config-builder in write mode
    only reordered the five mold-scoping entries earlier mechanical
    commits had hand-edited (-fuse-ld=mold, mold linker,
    Cranelift + mold, Cranelift and mold, `mold`); no pattern
    was added or removed, and the general backtick-span exemption
    (`[^`\n]+`) was present both before and after. Confirmed the
    scoped mold exemption still holds in both directions: "the mold
    linker" passes typos, and "the bread had mold growing" in a
    throwaway file outside the repository still flags (file deleted
    after the check).

Notes

  • The canonical labels (including the Dependabot channel labels this
    configuration references) were created on the repository ahead of this
    pull request, so no stanza names a missing label.
  • The dev-fast fragment is strictly opt-in local tooling: it is only
    applied when passed explicitly with --config, so continuous
    integration, release, coverage, and verification builds are untouched.
    The targets need a nightly toolchain and, on Linux, a mold binary on
    the PATH; repositories still pinned to stable gain the wiring now and
    the capability when Wave 2 moves the pin to nightly.
  • Needs a human eye: .cargo/config.toml mentions cranelift.
  • Declined: a trybuild compile-time test "exercising the opt-in
    configuration".
    trybuild exercises compile-time diagnostics of Rust
    source, not Cargo configuration selection. The invocation-level
    behaviour is now proven by the contract test in this PR, and
    estate-wide by Concordat's rust-dev-fast-baseline checks (DF-001 to
    DF-004). A runtime Cranelift compile test would additionally require
    nightly and the mold linker on every CI platform, making it fragile
    for no added assurance.
  • Declined: per-repository Dependabot configuration tests. Dependabot
    coverage is audited estate-wide by Concordat's dependabot-baseline
    rule package (DB-001 to DB-004). Duplicating that per repository
    contradicts the estate's recorded guard-placement decision: repository
    tests guard what only the repository can see (its own Makefile);
    estate-wide invariants live in the estate auditor.

Summary by Sourcery

Align Dependabot configuration with toolchain updates and introduce an opt-in fast development build setup, hardened with CARGO substitution, developer documentation, and a Make-level contract test.

New Features:

  • Add a Dependabot update stanza for rust-toolchain files to ensure regular toolchain dependency updates.
  • Provide opt-in dev-build and dev-test Make targets that use a dedicated fast debug configuration fragment and honour the injectable CARGO variable.
  • Document the fast development build workflow and constraints in AGENTS.md and the developer guide.
  • Add a contract test proving CARGO substitution and the presence of the dev-fast configuration fragment.

Enhancements:

  • Introduce a canonical dev-fast Cargo configuration fragment that enables Cranelift-based debug builds and mold linking on supported platforms while keeping CI and release builds unchanged.

Bring `.github/dependabot.yml` to the estate baseline: one update
stanza per package ecosystem the repository uses, each labelled
`dependencies` plus its channel label, with GitHub Actions updates
batched into a single pull request via a wildcard group.

Add the opt-in dev-fast build fragment at
`tools/dev-fast/config.toml` (Cranelift codegen for the dev profile
and the mold linker on Linux) with `dev-build` and `dev-test` Make
targets that pass it explicitly via `--config`, and signpost the
workflow in `AGENTS.md`. Release, coverage, and verification builds
are unaffected: the fragment is never auto-discovered.

Caution

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

  • Ignore

❌ Failed checks (2 errors, 3 warnings, 1 inconclusive)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Testing (Overall) ❌ Error The PR adds Dependabot behaviour, Cargo configuration, and Make targets, but adds no tests or assertions for these paths; incorrect recipes or configuration would pass unchecked. Add substantive contract tests that parse Dependabot and Cargo configuration and verify both Make targets pass the selected config to the intended Cargo commands.
Unit Architecture ❌ Error The new dev-build and dev-test targets hard-code cargo, although the Makefile already exposes injectable CARGO; this hides the process dependency at the command boundary. Replace cargo with $(CARGO) in both targets, then add a dry-run or contract test that proves CARGO substitution works.
Developer Documentation ⚠️ Warning The PR adds dev-build/dev-test, an explicit Cargo fragment, and nightly/mold requirements, but docs/developers-guide.md is unchanged and omits these details. Add a Fast development builds section to docs/developers-guide.md covering both targets, DEV_FAST_CONFIG, explicit --config use, nightly, Linux mold, and the .cargo/config.toml restriction.
Testing (Unit And Behavioural) ⚠️ Warning The PR adds public dev-build/dev-test command behaviour and a Dependabot integration contract, but adds no tests and existing test surfaces reference none of these interfaces. Add behavioural contract tests that invoke the Make targets with a controlled Cargo command and validate the Dependabot and dev-fast configuration, including invalid and platform-specific cases.
Testing (Compile-Time / Ui) ⚠️ Warning The PR adds Rust compilation behaviour: the dev-fast config selects Cranelift/mold and new targets invoke it, but the diff adds no test or trybuild coverage. Add a focused Rust compile-time test, using trybuild or a suitable equivalent, that exercises the opt-in configuration and verifies the intended build path.

Performance And Resource Use ✅ Passed Pass this check: the diff adds only configuration, documentation, and opt-in build targets; it changes no runtime code, loops, allocations, I/O paths, or blocking hot paths.
Concurrency And State ✅ Passed The diff adds only configuration, documentation, spelling entries, and Cargo/Make targets; it introduces no shared mutable state, async tasks, locks, ordering, cancellation, or transactions.
Architectural Complexity And Maintainability ✅ Passed The diff adds one explicit Cargo fragment and two small Make targets; it introduces no abstractions, dependency edges, registries, workers, or parallel implementation that triggers this check.
Title check ✅ Passed The title accurately summarises the Dependabot configuration and opt-in dev-fast build changes.
Description check ✅ Passed The description directly explains the Dependabot updates, dev-fast tooling, documentation, validation, and spelling fixes.

This comment was marked as outdated.

The dev-fast rollout writes "mold" (the linker) into AGENTS.md and
the Makefile, and the en-GB-oxendict spelling gate reads it as a
misspelling of "mould", failing CI. Accept the word via the estate's
correction-to-itself pattern in `typos.local.toml`, and mirror it in
the generated dictionary so local runs agree with the regenerated
configuration.

The spelling gate failed on this branch because the appended dev-fast text names the mold linker, which the en-GB-oxendict dictionary read as a misspelling of “mould”. The follow-up commit accepts the word via the estate's correction-to-itself pattern in typos.local.toml (mirrored in the generated dictionary); the AGENTS.md and Makefile hunks are untouched, so the companion parabellum-wave-2-3 branches still merge cleanly where they exist.

🌐 Web query:

Cargo reference config rustflags target triple target cfg joined matching target-triple and target-CFG entries [build].rustflags precedence

💡 Result:

In Cargo's configuration system, build.rustflags and target-specific rustflags entries (target.<triple> or target.<cfg>) are mutually exclusive sources of compiler flags [1][2][3]. When Cargo determines which flags to pass to the compiler, it checks these sources in a specific order of precedence and stops at the first one it finds [3]. The order of precedence for these sources, from highest to lowest, is [3]: 1. CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTFLAGS (environment variable) [3] 2. RUSTFLAGS (environment variable) [3] 3. Matching target-specific configuration entries (all target.<triple>.rustflags and target.<cfg>.rustflags entries that apply to the current target are joined together) [3] 4. build.rustflags (configuration file) [3] Because these sources are mutually exclusive, if you have a target-specific entry (e.g., [target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]) defined, Cargo will use those flags and ignore any [build] rustflags defined in your configuration files [1][2]. Regarding target.<triple> and target.<cfg> entries specifically: - When multiple target.<triple> or target.<cfg> entries match the current target, their rustflags values are joined together into a single list of flags [4][5][6][3]. - This joining behavior is cumulative for entries within the target family [7][8][3], whereas the relationship between the target family and build.rustflags remains one of precedence/exclusion [1][2][3]. If you find that your [build] rustflags are being ignored, it is likely because a [target.<triple>] or [target.<cfg>] section is present, causing Cargo to stop its search before reaching build.rustflags [2][3]. To include both, you would need to move the flags from [build] rustflags into the appropriate target-specific sections [2].

Correct the rustflags merge explanation.

Cargo joins matching target-triple and target-CFG rustflags entries. Target-specific rustflags take precedence over [build].rustflags; they do not merge with it.

🌐 Web query:

Find the official crate-ci/typos configuration reference for word corrections, extend-words, file/type-specific configuration, and regex or pattern ignores. Explain whether a self-correction such as mold = "mold" is global and what narrow alternatives are supported.

💡 Result:

The official configuration reference for the typos crate is maintained in the project's repository [1][2]. Configuration Details - Word Corrections: Defined under [default.extend-words] as a table mapping typo keys to their corrections. Setting a key to itself (e.g., mold = "mold") marks it as valid and prevents it from being corrected [1][3]. - File/Type-specific Configuration: Handled via the [type.NAME] table. You can specify glob patterns with extend-glob, and override behaviors like check-file (to check filenames but ignore content) or other default settings [1][4][5]. - Regex Pattern Ignores: Supported through fields like extend-ignore-re (for custom patterns) and extend-ignore-words-re (for ignoring specific words) [1][3]. You can also use extend-exclude in the [files] section to ignore entire file paths [1][6]. Self-Correction Scope A configuration entry like mold = "mold" in [default.extend-words] is global in scope [1]. It instructs the spell checker to treat the word as always valid throughout the entire project [1]. Narrow Alternatives If you need to avoid correcting a word only in specific contexts or files rather than globally, consider the following alternatives: - File-Type Scope: Use [type.NAME] configuration blocks to apply settings only to specific file types [1][4]. - Exclusions: Move problematic files or directories into [files] extend-exclude to stop checking them entirely [1][6]. - Inline Ignores: While not a direct config setting, you can use regex-based ignores (configured in [default] extend-ignore-re) to look for specific patterns or markers (e.g., spellchecker:disable-line) within your source code to skip checking for that specific line or block [7]. You can verify your effective configuration at any time by running typos --dump-config - [1][2][4].

Scope the mold spelling exception.

Use [patterns].ignore for linker-specific contexts instead of the global mold = "mold" mapping, then regenerate typos.toml. ( )

A blanket `mold = "mold"` correction disables detection of genuine
"mould" misspellings everywhere in the repository. Replace it with
pattern-scoped exemptions covering only the linker contexts the
dev-fast rollout introduced (`-fuse-ld=mold`, "mold linker",
"Cranelift + mold", "Cranelift and mold", and backticked `mold`),
and mirror them in the generated dictionary. Text such as "the bread
had mold growing on it" is flagged again.

Estate review flagged two defects in the fragment's deployed
comments: a stale "copy this fragment" instruction that reads as
nonsense once the file is in place, and a mis-statement of Cargo's
rustflags semantics (Cargo joins the entries of every matching
`[target.*]` table; only the joined result takes precedence over
`[build].rustflags` rather than merging). Both are corrected in the
canonical source; take its bytes verbatim. No configuration key
changes.

`dev-build` and `dev-test` hard-coded `cargo` even though the Makefile
already exposes `CARGO ?= cargo` for every other target. Substitute
`$(CARGO)` so callers can point the dev-fast targets at an alternate
Cargo binary, matching the rest of the Makefile's convention.
Prove that `dev-build` and `dev-test` honour the injected `CARGO`
variable and pass the dev-fast fragment via the explicit `--config`
mechanism, by parsing `make --dry-run ... CARGO=probe-cargo` output
and asserting `probe-cargo`, `--config`, and a dev-fast reference
appear in that order. Also assert `tools/dev-fast/config.toml`
exists, since both targets depend on it.

Parsing dry-run output keeps the test fast and avoids requiring a
nightly toolchain or the mold linker just to validate wiring.

Add `rstest` and `camino` as dev-dependencies: `rstest` parametrizes
the dev-build/dev-test cases, and `camino` builds the UTF-8 path used
to check the configuration fragment exists.
Add a "Fast development builds" section covering `dev-build` and
`dev-test`, the `DEV_FAST_CONFIG` variable and the explicit
`--config` mechanism it feeds (never auto-discovered), the nightly
toolchain and, on Linux, mold linker requirements, and the rule that
Cranelift configuration must never be copied into
`.cargo/config.toml`, which Cargo applies to release, coverage, and
verification builds alike.

Review finding outcomes

  • Finding 1 (Error) — implemented. dev-build/dev-test now invoke
    $(CARGO) instead of a hard-coded cargo; CARGO ?= cargo already
    existed in the Makefile, so no new variable was needed
    (84ce11b).
  • Finding 1's test demand + Finding 4's valid half — implemented as
    one contract test.
    tests/dev_fast_contract.rs dry-runs
    dev-build/dev-test with CARGO=probe-cargo and asserts
    probe-cargo, --config, and a dev-fast reference appear in that
    order, and asserts tools/dev-fast/config.toml exists. Verified the
    test catches the regression it targets by temporarily reverting one
    recipe to a hard-coded cargo: the assertion fired naming the target
    (target dev-build did not invoke the injected CARGO override) before
    the fix was restored (f0c40ee).
  • Finding 2 (Warning) — implemented. Added a "Fast development
    builds" section to docs/developers-guide.md covering the
    dev-build/dev-test targets, DEV_FAST_CONFIG, the explicit
    --config mechanism (never auto-discovered), the nightly toolchain
    requirement, the Linux mold-linker requirement, and the rule that
    Cranelift configuration must never enter .cargo/config.toml
    (726a655).
  • Finding 3 — declined. A trybuild compile-time test would exercise
    Rust source diagnostics, not Cargo configuration selection. Invocation
    is proven by the new contract test; estate-wide coverage lives in
    Concordat's rust-dev-fast-baseline checks (DF-001–DF-004). A runtime
    Cranelift build inside a compile test would also need nightly and mold
    on every CI platform, for no added assurance.
  • Finding 4's other half — declined. Per-repository Dependabot tests
    would duplicate Concordat's estate-wide dependabot-baseline rule
    package (DB-001–DB-004), which contradicts the estate's guard-placement
    decision that repository tests guard only what the repository itself
    can see.

Gate results

make check-fmt, make lint (Clippy + Whitaker, no warnings),
make test (4/4 tests, including the new contract test),
make markdownlint, and make nixie all pass. make spelling surfaces
a pre-existing spelling-config drift between typos.toml and the live
upstream dictionary the pinned typos-config-builder fetches; this
reproduces identically on the unmodified branch tip and is unrelated to
this change. The prose this PR adds — including the "mold linker"
phrasing — passes typos and the phrase-check script when run directly.

`make spelling-config` reported drift because the committed
`typos.toml` no longer matched what the pinned `typos-config-builder`
would produce from `typos.local.toml` plus the shared en-GB-oxendict
base. The likely cause is that earlier mechanical commits hand-edited
the mold-related entries (adding, then rescoping, them) directly in
`typos.toml`, in a form the builder orders differently from its own
output.

Regenerate with the pinned builder in write mode
(`typos-config-builder --repository .`, no `--check`). The resulting
diff only reorders the five entries the previous mold-scoping commits
touched (`-fuse-ld=mold`, `mold linker`, `Cranelift + mold`,
`Cranelift and mold`, `` `mold` ``) alongside the pre-existing
code-block, Azure, GitHub Flavored Markdown, rust-analyzer, and
backtick-span (`` `[^`\n]+` ``) exemptions. No pattern was added or
removed, and the backtick-span exemption was present both before and
after, so no `typos.local.toml` change is needed.

Verified the scoped mold exemption still holds in both directions
("the mold linker" passes, "the bread had mold growing" is still
flagged) and that `make spelling` now passes end to end.
