RUST COMPILER GAINS RANGEINCLUSIVEITER OPTIMIZATION, SOLVER FIXES LAND

RangeInclusive loops just got faster with new Step trait methods that enable the compiler to eliminate overflow checks [ref:11], while the next solver's rigid parameter environment handling shipped to fix normalization bugs [ref:12].

The Step trait now exports `forward_overflowing` and `backward_overflowing` methods [1], a change that passed ACP review and lands immediately. This unlocks loop optimizations that the compiler couldn't perform before, directly improving performance for code that iterates inclusive ranges. On the solver front, the next-gen compiler now treats parameter environment normalization with the same rigor as the legacy solver [2], fixing overflow bugs that emerged during migration. Cargo's build-dir layout v2 stabilization shipped then got reverted within hours [5] after catching an issue, a quick catch that prevented a wider rollout problem. The cc-rs team fixed a nightly compilation error tied to deprecated `fetch_update` [3] and is adding PAC support for AArch64 Linux systems [4], expanding Rust's reach into security-hardened embedded targets. Compiler-builtins CI now runs with strict bash flags by default [6], making silent failures visible before they slip into production.
