Bumps the patch-minor group with 1 update: rust-toolchain.

Updates rust-toolchain from 1.98.1 to 1.99.0

Release notes

Sourced from rust-toolchain's releases.

Rust 1.99.0

Language

• Add allow-by-default raw_borrows_via_references lint that checks for references that decay immediately into raw borrows
• Extend unconditional_panic lint to function calls that panic when the chunks/windows size is zero
• Stabilize C-variadic function definitions
• Stabilize the ability to use #[unsafe(naked)] functions to define C-variadic functions (#![feature(c_variadic_naked_functions)]).
• Trait methods are now resolved on an adjusted never type (producing a FCW)
• Coerce from inference variables to trait objects if the inference variable is related via subtyping to a type that is known to be Sized
• Stabilize #[my_macro] mod foo;. This allows outlined modules (mod foo;) anywhere in the body of a custom attribute or derive macro.
• Fix the overflowing_literals lint with repeated negation. For instance, it will now no longer lint on --128_i8, which is already detected by the arithmetic_overflow lint.
• Add POSIX symbols to the invalid_runtime_symbol_definitions and suspicious_runtime_symbol_definitions lints
• Lint unused #[path] attributes on inline modules
• Enable unreachable_cfg_select_predicates lint as part of unused lint group
• Stabilize passing 128-bit integers via vector registers with asm! on x86
• Explicitly document that some allocations are allowed to grow in-place (but none are allowed to shrink)
• We now guarantee that the contents of an UnsafeCell can be accessed without going through get
  • The invalid_reference_casting lint was adjusted accordingly
• Account for globally enabled target features in global_asm!
• Warn if an invalid doc attribute is used on a macro invocation

Compiler

• Convert -Ctarget-cpu into a target-modifier for AVR, AMDGCN and NVPTX
• Enable static_position_independent_executables on all gnu targets
• When providing a suggestion about a missing method, rustc now prefers an exactly matching name from a doc alias attribute over a similarity search from other method names. If your new users sometimes expect a method under a different name, adding a doc alias will now help them find it via rustc suggestions, in addition to helping them find it via rustdoc search: When suggesting method names, prefer exact doc aliases over similar names

Platform Support

• Promote riscv64-unknown-linux-musl to Tier 2 with host tools

Libraries

• Iteration on RangeInclusive (a..=b ranges) is now optimized better in some circumstances. As a side effect of this, the behavior of RangeInclusive values that has already been exhausted (as an iterator) has changed. For example, the return values of start() and end() on such ranges may return different values, and using such ranges as slice indexes may have different behavior. These behaviors were not guaranteed to be stable, so these changes are considered to not be breaking changes.
• Relax transmute_copy to accept ?Sized types
• Update transmute_copy to use a non-unwinding panic
• Don't escape U+FF9E and U+FF9F in escape_debug_ext
• Re-export core::fmt::NumBuffer in alloc (and std)

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes — the single-commit Dependabot bump of the pinned Rust toolchain.

• Toolchain bump — rust-toolchain.toml moves channel from 1.98.1 to 1.99.0; profile and components (clippy, rustfmt) are unchanged.

The version is not pinned anywhere else (Cargo.toml rust-version = "1.93" is the MSRV and CI reads rust-toolchain.toml via rustup show active-toolchain). One caveat: 1.99 adds new rustc/clippy lints, so the -D warnings clippy job is the thing to watch. The Windows-only code can't be built in my Linux review environment, so I couldn't check this myself.

✅ No new issues found.

Reviewed changes — the follow-up commit 474187e on top of the Dependabot toolchain bump.

• Clippy assert_is_empty fixes — assert!(!x.is_empty()) becomes assert_ne!(x, "") in the src/config/models.rs and src/utils/icon_extractor.rs tests; the String vs &str comparison compiles and behaves identically.
• Removed stale #[expect(clippy::float_cmp)] — tests/memory_usage_test.rs drops the two attribute blocks around the exact assert_eq! float checks, since per the commit message 1.99 no longer fires the lint there (leaving them would be an unfulfilled expectation under -D warnings). No other float_cmp allow or expect remains in the repo.

The changes are test-only, scoped to the new lints, and consistent with the pedantic clippy setup in Cargo.toml. I couldn't run clippy here (Windows-only code, Linux review environment), so CI is the confirmation.
