Pedantic template files

Start by reviewing the proposed rustfmt-nightly.txt, clippy.txt, Cargo.txt, and taplo.txt attachments, along with the suggested rust-toolchain.toml. Check whether the project should use stable or nightly tooling, then run the relevant formatting and Clippy commands. Done means the configuration is adopted consistently and the project still builds and runs without issue.

I recommend implementing the pedantic automation standards available from the outset. This promotes the development of secure, reliable code by requiring explicit exception handling rather than allowing potential issues to remain undetected.

A common example is the use of .unwrap() methods, which LLMs frequently generate without proper error handling. Instead, ensure exceptions are properly annotated and managed.

By establishing a strict foundational layer, exceptions can be introduced deliberately when code correctness is verified. This approach allows the Rust toolchain to handle the majority of validation and safety checks automatically.

If you want to use cargo +nightly fmt to take advantage of the newer automated features, this will provide a fairly basic way. If you want to continue to use +stable, then you will want to comment out (or remove) a few lines. Rename to .rustfmt.toml (gh does not allow .toml extension uploads)

rustfmt-nightly.txt

To make clippy more useful, try something like this. Rename to .clippy.toml

clippy.txt

If you are using zed or any editor that can report hints from clippy, this set of additions may simplify matters:

Cargo.txt

For toml file formatting, I use taplo. The config is very simple, but it helps to make everything consistent. Rename to .taplo.toml

taplo.txt

Last, I would create a rust-toolchain.toml to explicitly request the items you expect to see.

Maybe:

[toolchain]
channel = "stable"
components = ["clippy", "llvm-tools", "rustfmt"]
profile = "minimal"

As a PR, this would be about a 50k diff, mostly from formatting changes. The rest are very minor fixes like "carago +nightly { fix, clippy fix, ..}" but it still builds and runs without issue.
