Summary

make lint and every --all-features build fail on untouched main. This
holds tinyvec at 1.12 so they pass again. Nothing else changes.

What broke

tinyvec 1.13.0 was published on 2026-09-03 at 21:13 UTC. Its src/tinyvec.rs
imports alloc::vec as a module and then invokes the vec! macro, so on the
nightly this repository pins the macro no longer resolves:

error: cannot find macro `vec` in this scope
   --> tinyvec-1.13.0/src/tinyvec.rs:710:21
    |
710 |       TinyVec::Heap(vec![A::Item::default(); len])
    |                     ^^^
note: `vec` is imported here, but it is a module, not a macro
   --> tinyvec-1.13.0/src/tinyvec.rs:3:18
    |
  3 | use alloc::vec::{self, Vec};

The crate reaches this workspace transitively through Bevy's text and font
stack. No Cargo.lock is committed, so every build resolves the newest
compatible release and reaches the broken one.

Why a direct dependency

A transitive dependency cannot be constrained from outside the graph, so the
bound has to be a direct requirement. The comment in Cargo.toml says plainly
that it is a resolution constraint and that no code here names the crate, so a
later reader does not mistake it for a dependency that can simply be dropped.
~1.12 rather than <1.13 because AGENTS.md prohibits open-ended
inequalities and permits a tilde requirement for a documented lock to
patch-level updates.

Evidence

Reproduced on a clean detached checkout of origin/main at ef71d57, with an
isolated target directory so no shared cache could be blamed. make lint fails
there on tinyvec. With this change it passes and resolves
Adding tinyvec v1.12.0 (available: v1.13.0).

Gate Result
make check-fmt pass
make lint pass
make typecheck pass
make test pass, 54 test binaries
make spelling pass, regenerates typos.toml unchanged
make markdownlint pass
make nixie pass

Removal

Upstream has not yanked 1.13.0. Lokathor/tinyvec#225 reports the same failure
and Lokathor/tinyvec#226 proposes the fix. Removal is tracked by #340: drop the
entry once a fixed release is resolvable or 1.13.0 is yanked, and confirm with
make lint on a clean checkout.

Closes nothing; #340 stays open as the removal condition.

Summary by Sourcery

Keep tinyvec on the verified 1.12 release line until upstream compatibility is restored.

Bug Fixes:

  • Constrain the transitive tinyvec dependency to the 1.12 release line so linting and all-features builds continue to pass while 1.13 remains incompatible with the pinned nightly toolchain.

Enhancements:

  • Document dependency-resolution constraints and the upstream/removal conditions for the temporary tinyvec pin.

Documentation:

  • Add developer guidance explaining resolution-only dependency constraints, their diagnosis, and removal criteria.

Tests:

  • Add an integration test that verifies Cargo does not resolve tinyvec to the known-broken 1.13 series or later.

`tinyvec` 1.13.0, published on 2026-09-03, imports `alloc::vec` as a module
and then invokes the `vec!` macro. On the nightly this repository pins the
macro no longer resolves:

```text
error: cannot find macro `vec` in this scope
   --> tinyvec-1.13.0/src/tinyvec.rs:710:21
note: `vec` is imported here, but it is a module, not a macro
```

The crate arrives transitively through Bevy's text and font stack, and this
workspace commits no `Cargo.lock`, so every build resolves the newest
compatible release and reaches the broken one. `make lint` and any
`--all-features` build fail on untouched `main`; the failure reproduces on a
clean detached checkout with an isolated target directory, so it is not a
local artefact.

Add a tilde requirement, which `AGENTS.md` permits for a documented lock to
patch-level updates. It is a resolution constraint only: no code in this
workspace names the crate, and the comment says so, so a later reader does not
mistake it for a dependency that can simply be dropped.

Upstream has not yanked 1.13.0. Lokathor/tinyvec#225 reports the same failure
and Lokathor/tinyvec#226 proposes the fix. Removal is tracked by
#340.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 67f92

The dependency constraint prevents the known broken tinyvec release from entering builds. The remaining issues reduce the regression check's accuracy and failure diagnostics, but do not undermine the current resolution constraint, so the change is mergeable with bounded follow-up.

Explanation

Add a dedicated Rust trybuild compile-time test. The pull request changes dependency resolution to prevent the tinyvec 1.13.0 compile failure, so compile-time behaviour is present. tests/dependency_resolution.rs only runs cargo metadata and parses JSON. It does not compile a fixture. The existing tests/compile_pass.rs covers an unrelated Bevy API migration and is unchanged.

Comment thread Cargo.toml

This comment was marked as outdated.

The constraint had no test, so the only thing standing between a future
contributor and the broken release was a comment. Widen the requirement by
accident and the symptom is a macro error inside a crate nothing in this
workspace mentions.

`tests/dependency_resolution.rs` reads what Cargo actually resolved and fails
if `tinyvec` 1.13 or later is selected, naming the version and pointing at the
requirement. It also fails if the crate leaves the graph entirely, which is
the signal that the constraint and the test should both go.

Record the constraint in the developers guide as well: what it is for, why a
transitive dependency needs a direct requirement, why a tilde rather than a
caret, and the condition for removing it. A bare version requirement with no
explanation reads as a real dependency, and the next contributor cannot tell
whether dropping it is safe.

@coderabbitai Actioned both pre-merge warnings in 67f926f.

Developer Documentation. docs/developers-guide.md gains a "Dependency resolution constraints" section. It records that no Cargo.lock is committed, so resolution is decided afresh on every machine and a broken release reaches the build the day it is published; that tinyvec arrives through Bevy's text and font stack, so the only lever is a direct requirement; what 1.13.0 does and how it fails on the pinned nightly; why the requirement is a tilde rather than a caret, which AGENTS.md permits for a documented lock to patch-level updates; and the removal condition, issue 340, with the upstream discussion in Lokathor/tinyvec#225 and #226. It closes by asking that any future constraint of this kind be documented the same way, because a bare version requirement with no explanation is indistinguishable from a real dependency.

Testing (Compile-Time / UI). Addressed with a resolution test rather than a trybuild fixture, and I want to be explicit about why rather than quietly substitute. A trybuild compile-pass fixture compiles under the same resolved graph as the workspace build. If 1.13.0 were selected, the workspace build would already have failed before the fixture ran, so the fixture could only ever restate a failure that had already happened, and it would restate it as the same opaque macro error. tests/dependency_resolution.rs fails earlier and says which version was selected and which requirement to keep. If you would still prefer a compile-time fixture alongside it, say so and I will add one, but I did not want to add a test whose only distinct signal is a slower copy of an existing failure.

For the record, build-test passed in 29m55s on 2206d9b, the first fully green run on this repository since tinyvec 1.13.0 was published, which is the evidence that this was the only trunk breakage.

@leynos The verification confirms both changes.

Keep tests/dependency_resolution.rs as the regression test. It checks the resolved graph before compilation and reports the selected tinyvec version with the required action. Do not add a redundant trybuild fixture.

Keep the documentation and Cargo.toml comments aligned with the test. They state the transitive Bevy path, the 1.13.0 failure, the ~1.12 constraint, and the removal condition in #340.

Static inspection verified commit 67f926f. The shell environment did not run build-test.

Learning: In leynos/lille, `tests/dependency_resolution.rs` validates temporary Cargo dependency-resolution constraints by running `cargo metadata` and asserting the resolved dependency version. Use this test type instead of a `trybuild` compile-pass fixture when a broken dependency resolution prevents the workspace from compiling before the fixture can provide a distinct failure signal.

that it is not a dependency.

partial value.
- Around line 61-63: Move the dependency-resolution validation out of the

The guide called `tinyvec` "not a dependency", which is wrong: it is a
direct Cargo dependency whose only purpose is to bound resolution. Say
that instead, so a reader looking at `Cargo.toml` is not told the
opposite of what is there.

Both the guide and the test also implied the test runs before the build.
It does not. Cargo compiles the dependency graph before an integration
test runs, so a selected 1.13.0 fails the build first with the macro
error. What the test catches directly is the case that would otherwise
pass silently: a widened requirement whose resolved version still
compiles but sits outside the range this workspace has verified. Both
places now say that, and the guide points at `cargo tree --invert
tinyvec` for the case where the build fails first.

`ResolvedVersion` replaces the bare minor number. The old helper kept
only the second component, so a resolved 2.0.0 read as minor 0 and
passed a check meant to reject anything at or beyond 1.13, and the
failure message printed `1.[13]` rather than the version Cargo chose.
The type keeps the original text for the message and the major and minor
pair for the comparison.

Also reflow the guide paragraph to 80 columns and wrap the compiler
error in double backticks so Rustdoc renders it as one code span.
