Align Dependabot coverage and add the dev-fast build fragment#82leynos wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
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.

Sorry, something went wrong.
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.

**issue (bug_risk):** The `package-ecosystem: rust-toolchain` entry is likely unsupported by Dependabot and may be ignored or cause errors.
Dependabot only documents `cargo` as the Rust ecosystem, not `rust-toolchain`, so this block is unlikely to behave as intended and may cause the job to be skipped or fail validation. If you want automated Rust dependency updates, use `package-ecosystem: cargo` instead; otherwise consider removing this configuration since Dependabot doesn’t currently support updating `rust-toolchain.toml` directly.

Cargo build performance guide codegen-backend cranelift rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview component
💡 Result:
The Cranelift codegen backend (rustc_codegen_cranelift) is an alternative code-generation backend for the Rust compiler that prioritizes fast compilation times over the aggressive runtime optimizations provided by the default LLVM backend [1][2][3]. It is particularly well-suited for debug builds, where developer iteration speed is the primary bottleneck [1]. Installation and Usage To use the Cranelift backend, you must use a nightly Rust toolchain [4][5]. Install the required component via rustup: $ rustup component add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview --toolchain nightly Once installed, you can enable it for your project using one of the following methods: 1. Environment Variable (Temporary) Run your build command with the following environment variable and unstable flag [5][2]: $ CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_CODEGEN_BACKEND=cranelift cargo +nightly build -Zcodegen-backend 2. Cargo Configuration (Persistent) Add the following to your.cargo/config.toml file to enable it for all builds in the project [5][6]: [unstable] codegen-backend = true [profile.dev] codegen-backend = "cranelift" 3. Cargo.toml Configuration (Project-specific) Alternatively, you can add this to the top of your Cargo.toml file [5][6]: cargo-features = ["codegen-backend"] [profile.dev] codegen-backend = "cranelift" Key Considerations and Trade-offs - Performance: Cranelift significantly improves compilation speed (debug builds), but the resulting binaries perform worse than those produced by LLVM because Cranelift performs minimal optimization [4][1][3]. - Stability: It is an experimental feature and may not support all Rust language features [4]. Notably, unwinding on panics is not supported, meaning the compiler defaults to -Cpanic=abort [7]. - Platform Support: It is generally available on Linux, macOS, and x86_64 Windows, though specific architecture support can vary [5][6][7]. - Testing: Because it generates different machine code, it is recommended primarily for local development cycles rather than production builds [1].

site:github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift "nightly-2026-01-30" rustc-codegen-cranelift component name
💡 Result:
The rustup component name for the Cranelift codegen backend is rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview [1]. This component is distributed with nightly Rust toolchains on Linux, macOS, and x86_64 Windows [1]. You can install it for a nightly toolchain using the following command: rustup component add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview --toolchain nightly This name applies generally to the nightly builds, including the nightly-2026-01-30 build you mentioned [1]. Once installed, you can enable it in your project by setting the codegen backend in your Cargo configuration [1].

🌐 Web query:
site:doc.rust-lang.org rustup toolchain file components rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview
💡 Result:
The rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview component is not configured directly inside a rust-toolchain.toml file [1][2]. Instead, it is a rustup component that must be installed alongside the nightly toolchain [1]. To use the Cranelift codegen backend, follow these steps: 1. Install the component for your nightly toolchain: $ rustup component add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview --toolchain nightly 2. Enable the feature in your project. Because this feature is unstable, you must use a nightly compiler and explicitly enable unstable Cargo features [1][2]. Add the following to your.cargo/config.toml file: [unstable] codegen-backend = true [profile.dev] codegen-backend = "cranelift" Alternatively, you can run Cargo commands with the -Z codegen-backend flag [1][2]. The rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview component provides the cranelift backend, which acts as an alternative to the default LLVM backend to improve build performance, though it may result in worse runtime performance for the generated code [1].

Rust 1.95 nightly rustc-codegen-cranelift-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview component rename
💡 Result:
As of August 19, 2026, the Rustup component for the Cranelift codegen backend remains named rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview [1][2][3]. There has been no official renaming of this component in the Rust 1.95 nightly series [4]. While recent internal changes in the Rust repository have refactored how codegen backends are handled in the build system—specifically, simplifying how steps are defined (e.g., using aliases like cg_clif in the build system) [5]—these changes have not affected the user-facing name of the component distributed via Rustup [1][6]. Users should continue to install the backend using the command: rustup component add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview --toolchain nightly [1][7]

Declare the Cranelift component as a prerequisite.
tools/dev-fast/config.toml enables codegen-backend = "cranelift", but rust-toolchain.toml installs only rustfmt and clippy. Add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview to the pinned toolchain components, or document its installation. Without it, clean checkouts fail before make dev-build and make dev-test compile.
