Summary

main was red: cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -A clippy::too_many_arguments failed to compile aios-protocol with 72 clippy::double_must_use errors. Confirmed by re-running CI on main itself (run 37180080509) — this is latent drift, not something a recent push broke.

Root cause: every gating job uses dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable, which floats to whatever "stable" is on the day the job runs. The last green run (2026-09-28) resolved stable to rustc 1.93.0; today it resolves to 1.99.0. Between those two, clippy started treating the Pin<Box<dyn Future>> that #[async_trait] returns as already #[must_use], so the #[must_use] the macro also stamps on the generated method trips clippy::double_must_use. This is a known async-trait/clippy interaction, not a real bug — every flagged trait is a plain #[async_trait] pub trait Foo { async fn ... } port definition. Confirmed via the actual CI job logs (gh run view --log), since the local toolchain here couldn't reproduce it (stale cached clippy component — version mismatch between rustc 1.99.0 and the installed clippy 0.1.93).

Fix: a narrow #[allow(clippy::double_must_use, reason = "...")] directly above each affected #[async_trait] trait — 65 sites across 45 files (aios-protocol, ergon + ergon-life-hooks, chronos-core, haima-wallet/haima-outcome, the four *-proxy crates, lifed/lifegw, nous-tools, etc.). No blanket -A added to the lint; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings -A clippy::too_many_arguments now passes clean.

Also in this PR (per BRO-2814's fix list)

  1. rust-toolchain.toml pinning channel = "1.99.0" (the version clippy was just made clean against), and switched the @stable steps in ci.yml / harness.yml to @master so they read this file instead of floating.
    • Why pin: this is exactly the drift that caused the incident — a lint change with zero code change in between. Pinning turns a future toolchain bump into a deliberate edit (change the file, run the full gate locally, fix what it flags, commit together) instead of a silent one that surfaces only when Dependabot or a push happens to land that week.
    • Tradeoff named explicitly: this will need bumping deliberately — new lints, new MSRV-adjacent behavior, etc. won't reach us automatically anymore. That's the point, but it's a real maintenance line item, not free.
    • MSRV Check keeps its own separate explicit 1.93.0 pin, unchanged — that's a different, intentionally-older floor.
  2. Weekly schedule: trigger on ci.yml (cron: "0 6 * * 1") so main's CI runs even without a push — this is the loop-eval item from BRO-2806 (main's latest CI must be under 7 days old). The "main is green" read that missed this drift was based on a run that was a week stale.
  3. Dependabot groups: entry on the cargo ecosystem (minor/patch bumps grouped into one PR; majors stay individual for review) — the ten open Dependabot PRs (chore(deps): bump futures from 0.3.32 to 0.3.34 #1797–chore(deps): bump hidapi from 2.6.5 to 2.6.7 #1806) all failed on this same latent issue regardless of what they bumped, and the owner flagged ten-PRs-for-one-root-cause as unsupportable bloat.

Test plan

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check — clean
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings -A clippy::too_many_arguments — clean (was 72 errors in aios-protocol before this change)
  • cargo clippy -p ergon -p ergon-life-hooks -p ergon-life-sinks --all-targets -- -D warnings -A clippy::too_many_arguments — clean (mirrors the dedicated ergon CI lane)
  • cargo check --workspace — clean
  • CI on this PR: Lint, ergon — check + clippy + test, make ci (control harness), MSRV Check, Merge Gate all green

…chain drift (BRO-2814)

main went red with no code change: every CI job used
`dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable`, which floats to whatever is current
stable on the day the job runs. Between the last green run (2026-09-28)
and today, `stable` moved 1.93.0 -> 1.99.0 and clippy started treating
the boxed `dyn Future` that `#[async_trait]` returns as already
`#[must_use]`, so the `#[must_use]` the macro also stamps on the
generated method is flagged as `clippy::double_must_use` -- 72 errors
in aios-protocol alone, plus the same pattern in 44 more trait
definitions across ergon, chronos, haima, life-runtime, etc. This is a
known async-trait/clippy interaction, not a real bug in any of these
traits, so each site gets a narrow `#[allow(clippy::double_must_use,
reason = "...")]` rather than a blanket `-A` on the lint.

Also, to close the drift loop itself (not just today's symptom):

- Add rust-toolchain.toml pinning channel = "1.99.0" (the toolchain
  clippy was just made clean against) and switch the CI/harness jobs
  that used `@stable` to `@master`, which reads that file instead of
  floating. Bumping the toolchain is now a deliberate edit to this
  file instead of a silent drift. MSRV Check keeps its own explicit
  1.93.0 pin, unchanged.
- Add a weekly schedule trigger to ci.yml so main's CI runs even
  without a push (BRO-2806: main's latest CI must be under 7 days
  old) -- this is exactly how the drift went undetected for a week.
- Group routine cargo minor/patch bumps into one Dependabot PR instead
  of ten (the ten open PRs #1797-#1806 all failed on this same latent
  issue, independent of what they bumped).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates Rust toolchain configuration and CI workflows, groups Cargo minor and patch updates in Dependabot, and adds targeted Clippy allowances to async-trait declarations.

Changes

Rust tooling maintenance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rust toolchain and CI
rust-toolchain.toml, .github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/harness.yml
The toolchain configuration selects Rust 1.99.0 with rustfmt and clippy. CI adds a weekly Monday schedule and changes Rust toolchain action references from stable to master.
Async-trait Clippy allowances
crates/**/src/*.rs
Async-trait declarations across the Rust crates allow clippy::double_must_use and include a reason for the allowance.
Cargo update grouping
.github/dependabot.yml
Dependabot groups Cargo minor and patch updates. Major updates are not included in the group.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 53263

The CI and harness workflows now call the Rust setup action without saying which toolchain to install. Every Rust job is then likely to fail before formatting, linting, tests or builds run, which blocks validation for every pull request and the new weekly run. Adding toolchain: "1.99.0" to each step, or using the @1.99.0 ref, fixes this. The lint and Dependabot changes are low risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 53263

The changes improve compiler reproducibility and add recurring validation without changing the reviewed public interfaces. CI still executes a mutable external toolchain action. Its provenance and effective repository permissions remain unverified, but no introduced privilege expansion or concrete security regression was established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is CI execution and workspace validation, including build-runner access by external actions. The reviewed changes do not establish new public runtime reachability or a deployment authority grant. Effective token permissions and any downstream production inheritance remain outside the supplied evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Pinning the compiler channel does not immutably pin the code of the toolchain-install action: the workflows now reference master. Mutable external-action trust predates this PR because the base referenced stable. The evidence does not establish that changing branches increases privileges or worsens effective exposure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider pinning the toolchain-install action to a reviewed immutable commit while retaining the compiler-channel pin, so action implementation changes also require repository review. This addresses a pre-existing trust dependency rather than a verified PR-introduced vulnerability.

@master requires a `toolchain` input — it does not read
rust-toolchain.toml on its own (confirmed by the PR's own CI: every
job switched to @master in the previous commit failed in <20s with
"'toolchain' is a required input"). Pass toolchain: "1.99.0" explicitly
everywhere, matching rust-toolchain.toml's pin; MSRV Check keeps its
own "1.93.0".

… existing convention

CI's Lint job still failed after the previous commit, this time in
lago-ingest (3 more double_must_use errors, same async_trait-in-
generated-tonic-code root cause as BRO-2814, just inside the
include_proto! output this time instead of hand-written source).

Every other tonic::include_proto! module in the workspace already
carries `#[allow(unused_qualifications, clippy::all)]` (aios-proto,
anima/haima/arcan-substrate-proto, life-kernel-proto, ...) specifically
because generated code isn't something we hand-tune for clippy.
lago-ingest and spaces-a2a were the two that never got it. Bringing
them in line with the rest of the codebase, not inventing a new
pattern.

…BRO-2814)

P20 review (strata B+C) on the previous commits flagged that
hand-pasting the same #[allow(clippy::double_must_use, reason = "...")]
onto 63 trait definitions across 43 files is a maintenance trap: the
next #[async_trait] trait anyone adds won't carry it and will silently
fail CI again. The repo already has the right mechanism for exactly
this (`[workspace.lints.clippy] too_many_arguments = "allow"`, opted
into by `[lints] workspace = true` in 41 of the 43 touched crates) --
one line there covers every current AND future #[async_trait] trait
workspace-wide, so use it instead of 63 copies of the same 4 lines.

arcan-tui and life-cli don't opt into workspace lints yet, so they
keep their local #[allow(...)] (now the only two).

Verified clean with the real pinned toolchain this time (rustup run
1.99.0 cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
-A clippy::too_many_arguments), not just the stale local one.
