# Rust Development

Inspect `Cargo.toml`, workspace members, features, modules, examples, and tests before editing.

Prefer narrow `cargo check -p`, `cargo test -p`, or targeted test commands before broad workspace checks. Run `cargo fmt` when available, avoid unnecessary dependency churn, and explain safety/unsafe or lifetime tradeoffs clearly.
