CARGO RAISES MSRV TO 1.95, REVERTS FRAME-POINTERS FEATURE

Cargo is bumping its minimum supported Rust version to 1.95 [ref:6], while simultaneously ripping out a freshly merged frame-pointers profiling option over UX concerns [ref:7].

The MSRV bump [1] means Cargo now requires Rust 1.95, tracking the upstream release cycle. More significant is the frame-pointers feature revert [2] that landed in the main branch only hours before being pulled. The team determined the force-off option naming was confusing because it doesn't actually force them off, it just disables the force-on behavior. That's a good catch on the naming, though it signals the feature needs better design before it ships. Meanwhile, rust-lang/rust is moving forward steadily with a rollup of 12 PRs [3] that includes pinned drop sugar [4], Wasm target improvements [5], and delegation error handling [6]. The pinned drop feature is significant: it adds syntactic sugar for `fn drop(&pin mut self)` in trait implementations, making pin drop patterns more ergonomic. On the analyzer side, rust-analyzer fixed method resolution to properly error when illegal Sized bounds are involved [7], eliminating a FIXME that was allowing unsound code to type-check silently on trait objects.

Action items

→ Update to Cargo with Rust 1.95 MSRV in your CI/release matrices rust-lang/cargo [plan]
→ Monitor frame-pointers feature discussions; design isn't finalized rust-lang/cargo [monitor]
→ Update rust-analyzer to latest nightly for pinned drop and Sized bound fixes rust-lang/rust-analyzer [plan]
