Summary

Rust framework adopters should depend on one Cargo package out of the box: usage-rs (aliased to usage). The facade already existed for that, but it was stuck at the 0.0.0 crates.io placeholder because tasks/release-plz never published it, and defaults omitted diagnostics so friendly errors were a footgun.

Changes

  • Publish usage-rs in the release path (after usage-argv / usage-derive), and include it in cliff / version bump paths
  • Enable diagnostics by default on the facade so clap-shaped parse errors work without an extra feature
  • Document the one-dependency install; keep usage-argv / usage-derive as the thin low-level split
  • Drop the redundant features = ["diagnostics"] from usage-cli (defaults cover it)
  • Regression test: facade defaults render clap-shaped unknown-flag errors (plain Style, so TTY/CLICOLOR_FORCE cannot flake the assertion)
  • CI: apt per-connection timeouts when installing zsh/fish (same fix as chore(ci): retry a stalled apt mirror instead of allowing the step to fail #1036) so stalled azure mirrors do not fail test/coverage

Why

Applications were documented to depend on usage-rs, but without a release they effectively needed both usage-argv and usage-derive. Shipping the facade closes that gap; turning on diagnostics by default removes the “Debug-formatted errors until you remember the feature” footgun. Low-level adopters that want only the binding runtime still use usage-argv directly (no defaults).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Rust applications now enable diagnostics, specification, and help support by default.
    • Unknown command-line arguments display clearer, clap-style error messages with plain styling.
    • Shell completions remain optional and can be enabled separately.
  • Documentation

    • Updated installation and feature guidance to reflect default capabilities and available lower-level alternatives.
    • Clarified fallback error formatting when diagnostics are disabled.
    • Documented feature requirements and configuration options for shell completions.

Publish the facade in the release path so adopters depend on one package,
and enable diagnostics by default so clap-shaped errors work out of the box.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

usage-rs now enables diagnostics by default. Documentation and CLI configuration reflect the facade defaults and fallback behavior. Release automation publishes usage-rs, and CI workflows improve shell installation and availability reporting.

Changes

Facade diagnostics defaults

Layer / File(s) Summary
Enable and validate default diagnostics
usage-rs/Cargo.toml, usage-rs/src/lib.rs, usage-rs/tests/facade.rs
Diagnostics are enabled by default. Crate documentation describes the bundled features. Tests verify clap-shaped errors for unknown flags.
Document facade behavior and feature selection
docs/rust/index.md, docs/rust/help.md, cli/Cargo.toml
Documentation and CLI configuration use facade defaults. Completions remain opt-in, and diagnostics fall back to Debug when unavailable.

Release and CI workflow updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Publish and stage usage-rs
tasks/release-plz
Release flows publish usage-rs, include its paths in git-cliff processing, and stage its Cargo files.
Improve shell installation and reporting
.github/workflows/coverage.yml, .github/workflows/test.yml
Shell installation uses longer timeouts and resilient APT settings. Workflow steps report available and missing shells.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to db562

The workflow changes may report a different shell executable than the integration tests actually run when executable overrides are used. This is a bounded diagnostics issue that is mergeable with owner awareness and can be followed up by aligning executable resolution.

render_failure colours via Style::auto when stderr is a TTY or
CLICOLOR_FORCE is set, which embeds ANSI codes in the quoted token and
flakes a literal substring check.

Same fix as #1036: per-connection apt timeouts so a hanging azure
mirror does not burn the step budget before archive.ubuntu.com is tried.

## Summary

Stacked on #1041. Drops `proc-macro-crate` (and its `toml_edit` /
`indexmap` / `winnow` tree) from `usage-derive` so adopters compile a
much smaller transitive set.

## Approach

Keep rename / mixed-dependency resolution by reading the adopter’s
`Cargo.toml` directly for the forms usage documents:

- bare keys (`usage-argv = …`)
- inline renames (`usage = { package = "usage-rs", … }`)
- multi-line `{ … }` tables
- `[dependencies.foo]` headers

Same priority as before: direct `usage-argv` wins, otherwise the
`usage-rs` facade.

## Tree

Before (under `usage-rs`): ~17 crates including `toml_edit`, `winnow`,
`indexmap`, …

After:

- `usage-rs` → `usage-argv` + `usage-derive`
- `usage-derive` → `syn` / `quote` / `proc-macro2` / `unicode-ident`

## Checks

- `cargo test -p usage-derive` (including new `crate_name` unit tests)
- `cargo test -p usage-rs` (facade + cargo-alias + mixed-dependencies
fixtures)
- `cargo test -p usage-conformance --test derive --test unit_variants`
- `cargo clippy -p usage-derive --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `cargo check -p usage-cli`

## Stack

- #1041 — one-crate facade defaults + release publish
- **This PR** — transitive dep cut
