Research direction

Start by inspecting the core and core-test-framework crate manifests and the workspace configuration. Build, test, and benchmark each crate with --no-default-features, add the default-enabled std feature, and verify that the full workspace still builds, tests, and benchmarks without regressions in its default configuration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Summary:

The purpose of this sub-issue is to implement sufficient no_std changes such that the core and core-test-framework crates are able to be built, tested, and benchmarked in no_std.
Scope:

The expected changes for this initial task may involve changes to other crates, and the workspace, to support required changes to crate dependencies, and to create a baseline for all crates to implement the new functionality uniformly.
Acceptance Criteria:

  • A new feature will be added that positively enables std, which will be on by default
  • the --no-default-features flag will be used to enforce no_std at build time
  • core and core-test-framework crates must build/test/bench, individually, with --no-default-features
  • All crates must continue to build/test/bench, with no regressions, in default config.
  • Building other crates or the entire workspace with --no-default-features is unsupported, with no required behavior associated with acceptance of this sub-issue
