The standard library gained const-time binary search and Miri fixed a critical Android I/O gap that broke vectored file operations in testing.

Rust shipped a rollup [1] that merged six critical improvements to the compiler and standard library. The biggest win: `const_binary_search` is now stable [1], letting developers perform binary searches at compile time. In parallel, the Miri team resolved a longstanding Android compatibility issue [2] [3] where preadv/pwritev weak symbols weren't resolving under test, causing file operations to fail entirely on bionic. This fix un-skips Android filesystem tests that were previously broken. The same rollup [1] also added diagnostic improvements for macros [1] and simplified the unwind crate, both of which reduce compiler surface area. Cargo just landed a 29-commit submodule update [5] that refactors homedir normalization and syncs command metadata handling. Meanwhile, the compiler caught a subtle error case: trait bounds that require closures to return themselves (like `T: Fn() -> T`) now produce clear diagnostic messages [4] instead of confusing type errors.
