Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adopts the newer pinned nightly and removes explicit Polonius flags across build and CI configuration. It is mergeable with owner awareness because the configuration contract test should distinguish missing optional files from unreadable required files so regressions cannot bypass the safeguard. Caution Pre-merge checks failedPlease resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

The changed execution paths are test and documentation tooling, not production hot paths. The new response-file helper performs one linear validation and one linear render over the finite rustc argument list, and it removes the Windows command-line limit rather than adding unbounded growth. Dependency-directory collection uses linear de-duplication, but its input is one Cargo build's finite artifact graph; the repository lockfile has 405 package records, so the bounded O(n²) setup work is not material. Coverage now reads one generated JSON report, replacing the previous full JSON parse from captured stdout. No new retry, polling loop, recursive walk, repeated remote I/O, or blocking operation on an async executor was introduced. Full details: Concurrency And StateExplanation Pass this check.

Bump the pinned toolchain from nightly-2026-06-25 to nightly-2026-08-13. Nightlies dated 2026-08-04 and later run the Polonius alpha analysis by default, so the dated pin now carries the borrow-checker requirement on its own and every `-Zpolonius=next` directive is redundant. Remove the flag plumbing wholesale rather than leave it inert. The directive is being retired upstream, and a build that restates it is a build that can silently drop it: - delete `.cargo/config.toml`, whose only purpose was carrying the flag; - drop the Makefile's `POLONIUS_FLAGS` variable and its uses, leaving `kani-full` and the binary-build recipe setting no `RUSTFLAGS` at all; - drop the flag from the dev-fast Cargo fragment and from the four workflows' `with.rustflags` inputs; - drop it from the documented registry-install command. Invert the contract test accordingly: `polonius_toolchain_contract` now requires the pinned channel to be a dated nightly at or after 2026-08-04 and fails if any build configuration reintroduces a `-Zpolonius` directive, instead of asserting the flag is present everywhere. Fix the fallout the newer toolchain surfaces, at the source rather than by suppression: - Cargo 1.99 no longer creates `target/debug/deps/`, running integration tests from `<profile>/build/<pkg>/<hash>/out/` and giving every crate its own directory. Teach the `netsuke` binary locator to derive the profile directory from either layout, and teach the two UI-fixture harnesses to collect the parent of every loadable artefact Cargo reports. The latter must accept proc-macro dynamic libraries as well as rlibs: a shared `deps/` used to pick them up for free, so an rlib-only filter went unnoticed until each crate got its own directory. - Satisfy clippy's new `assert_is_empty` and `chunks_exact_to_as_chunks` lints. - Split `test_support/src/netsuke.rs`, which grew past the module line cap, into a parent module and a `locator` submodule. Kani's supporting nightly (2025-11-21 for 0.67.0) predates the Polonius default, so `make kani-full` borrow-checks under NLL. That is harmless while no `POLONIUS(...)` sites exist; the guide and migration notes record the gap and say to move Kani forward rather than reinstate the directive. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Bump the pinned toolchain to nightly-2026-08-23. Beyond Polonius, this nightly carries the next-generation trait solver, and Netsuke now assumes it: new code may rely on inference and trait resolution the solver accepts rather than being contorted around an old-solver limitation. Record that as policy where the Polonius rules already live — AGENTS.md, the developers' guide, and ADR-006 — with the same no-directive rule. Passing `-Znext-solver` would restate a default the pin already provides, which is exactly the fragility that motivated retiring `-Zpolonius`. The ADR now frames the pin as carrying the compiler's front-end dialect as a whole, so a future pin move expects fallout beyond borrow checking. Fix the one real regression the bump surfaces. Cargo now builds with `-Zembed-metadata=no`, so an rlib holds only a metadata stub and rustc rejects it with "only metadata stub found for `rlib` dependency" unless the matching `.rmeta` is reachable. Both UI-fixture harnesses therefore: - prefer the `.rmeta` for `--extern`, falling back to the `.rlib` so an older Cargo that reports no `.rmeta` still works. Metadata is all `--extern` needs here, since the fixtures use `--emit=metadata`; and - accept `.rmeta` alongside `.rlib` and proc-macro dynamic libraries when collecting `-L dependency=` directories. A new parser test pins both halves of the `--extern` preference so a regression fails on the selection rather than on a fixture compile. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The direct-rustc UI harnesses put one `-L dependency=<directory>` pair per
Cargo artefact directory straight on the command line. Cargo 1.99 gives
every crate its own directory, and the split-build regression test adds
long, unique temporary roots on top, so on Windows the resulting
`CreateProcessW` command line exceeded the 32,767-character limit and the
spawn failed with `Os { code: 206, kind: InvalidFilename }` before rustc
ran at all.
Every one of those directories is load-bearing — dropping any of them
reintroduces `E0463` under the per-crate layout — so the list moves off
the command line rather than being shortened, deduplicated further, or
truncated. rustc reads arguments from `@<path>`: UTF-8, one argument per
line, no quoting. Each harness now passes exactly one argument, so
command-line length no longer scales with the dependency count.
`tests/support/rustc_response_file.rs` owns the rendering, included by
both harnesses through the established `#[path = …] mod …;` pattern. Its
scope is deliberately narrow — render an argument vector and write it,
knowing nothing about what a compilation needs — and it writes through
`test_support::fs`, the sanctioned ambient-filesystem boundary, so
neither harness needs a Whitaker exclusion.
Its unit tests assert the file's shape rather than reproducing the spawn:
one argument per line, spaces preserved without quoting, a newline in an
argument rejected (rustc would silently split it), and every source,
`--extern`, dependency-search, and output argument retained through a
write/read round trip. The failure being prevented is Windows-specific
and cannot be reproduced on the hosts that run most of this suite, so a
host-specific overlong-command test would be vacuous there.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Read the coverage JSON artefact reported by newer Rustdoc output instead of assuming the payload is written to standard output. Keep the Makefile RUSTFLAGS contract limited to warning enforcement and record the falsified output-channel diagnosis.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The Kani part of this statement is false: Makefile now invokes $(KANI) without any Polonius flag, while docs/polonius.md documents that Kani 0.67.0 uses nightly-2025-11-21 and therefore borrow-checks under NLL. When a future POLONIUS(...) API is verified, this ADR would incorrectly lead maintainers to expect Kani to use the same analysis; remove Kani from this claim and the equivalent rationale claim, or document the exception here.

Exercise the relative-path branch in FakeCargo.run.
The fake reports output_path directly, so the test inherits the fixture's path representation instead of forcing a relative path. Add a case that reports target/doc/package.json while writing to the absolute file, or parameterize the fake for both path forms.

Use a string forward reference in typ.cast.
Change typ.cast(pathlib.Path, kwargs["cwd"]) to typ.cast("pathlib.Path", kwargs["cwd"]).
As per path instructions, “Calls to typing.cast() should use strings rather than Python types to minimize the number of runtime imports.”

Add a diagnostic message to the coverage assertion.
Change the bare assertion to include a message, such as assert coverage == ..., "coverage JSON was not read from the reported file".

Fail when a required configuration file cannot be read.
Do not treat every read_to_string error as an absent file. An unreadable
Makefile or workflow file bypasses the retired-flag check and lets this
contract pass without inspecting that surface. Skip only NotFound for the
optional .cargo/config.toml path. Propagate all other errors.

Summary
This branch moves the pinned Rust toolchain from
nightly-2026-06-25tonightly-2026-08-13and removes every instruction that passed a-Zpoloniusdirective to Cargo. Nightlies dated 2026-08-04 and later run thePolonius alpha analysis by default, so the dated pin now carries the
borrow-checker requirement on its own and the directive is redundant.
The plumbing is removed wholesale rather than left inert. The directive is
being retired upstream, and a build that restates it is a build that can
silently drop it — the failure mode the old contract test existed to catch.
ADR-006's decision is unchanged; only the mechanism that implements it is.
Review walkthrough
Start with the two files that define the new policy:
— the bumped pin, and the comment explaining that the channel is now the
whole mechanism.
— the amended Decision section. It records what the retired plumbing was
and why it existed, so the removal reads as a supersession rather than a
gap.
Then the inverted contract, which is the safeguard against regression:
— the test no longer asserts the flag is present everywhere. It now
requires the pinned channel to be a dated nightly at or after 2026-08-04,
and fails if any build-configuration surface reintroduces a
-Zpoloniusdirective.
Then the removals themselves, which are mechanical:
.cargo/config.tomlis deleted; carrying the flag was its only purpose.—
POLONIUS_FLAGSis gone.kani-fulland the binary-build recipe now setno
RUSTFLAGSat all, so only the lint gates set it, and only to denywarnings.
and the four workflows'
with.rustflagsinputs.— the rewritten "Toolchain and borrow checker" section, and the
shared-action contract
below it.
Finish with the fallout the newer toolchain surfaced, which is the least
obvious part of the branch. Cargo 1.99 no longer creates
target/debug/deps/:it runs integration tests from
<profile>/build/<pkg>/<hash>/out/and givesevery crate its own directory.
—
profile_dirderives the profile directory from either executablelayout. This module is new only in the sense that it was split out of
test_support/src/netsuke.rs, which had grown past the module line cap.and
tests/command_env_ui_tests.rs
— both UI-fixture harnesses now collect the parent directory of every
loadable artefact Cargo reports. Note that this must accept proc-macro
dynamic libraries as well as rlibs: a shared
deps/directory used to pickproc macros up as a side effect, so an rlib-only filter went unnoticed
until each crate got its own directory, at which point dependents failed
with
E0463.Two clippy lints new to this nightly are fixed at the source rather than
suppressed:
assert_is_emptyintests/ir_tests.rs,
src/graph_view/tests.rs
and
src/status_timing_tests.rs,
and
chunks_exact_to_as_chunksinsrc/hex_property_tests.rs.
Validation
All four gates run on the bumped toolchain, sequentially, from a clean tree:
The Polonius default was verified empirically rather than taken from the
compiler's
-Z helptext, which still reportsdefault: no. The classicNLL problem case #3 — a conditional early return of a borrow from a map —
compiles with no flag on
nightly-2026-08-13and is rejected onnightly-2026-06-25.Notes
which for 0.67.0 is
nightly-2025-11-21— earlier than the Poloniusdefault. Under the retired flag,
make kani-fullpassed-Zpolonius=nextthrough
RUSTFLAGSand so got the analysis; it no longer does. This isharmless today because the tree has no
POLONIUS(...)-tagged sites, but itis a real gap. Both
docs/polonius.md
and the developers' guide record it, and say to move Kani forward rather
than reinstate the directive.
-Zpolonius=legacyis not an NLL fallback. It was checked: it acceptsthe same programs as the default. Classifying a new borrow-centric API
against NLL now means compiling it on a pre-2026-08-04 nightly, which
docs/polonius.md
states.
CHANGELOG.mdis unchanged. The repository follows Common Changelogand keeps no
Unreleasedsection; the existing Polonius entry sits underthe released
0.1.0-beta1heading and describes what that release did.Recording this change is left to the next release cut, when the version
heading exists.
RUSTFLAGScontract model was simplified. Every recipe that stillsets
RUSTFLAGSdoes so for one reason — to deny warnings whileconditionally preserving an inherited value — so the per-case
WarningPolicyandInheritancePolicyfields had no remaining variantsand were removed. A recipe needing a different policy will fail the
assertions rather than pass silently, which is the signal to reintroduce
them.
Summary by Sourcery
Adopt the newer Polonius-enabled nightly as the sole compiler-policy mechanism and remove the retired explicit directive from build configuration, CI, documentation, and tests.
