RUST'S INTERNAL CLEANUP ACCELERATES

Rust's core is getting leaner, with two key dependency removals landing in the compiler and libc dropping Dependabot for Renovate.

The rustc dev team cut the rustc_error_messages dependency [1] and stripped redundant fields from TypeKind [2], signaling a focused push to slim the compiler's internals. libc is dropping Dependabot in favor of forking-renovate [3], a move that centralizes dependency management across the ecosystem. This pair of cleanups plus a large 18-PR rollup [4] shows the project is investing in maintainability before pushing new features. On the codegen front, a fix lands for #[repr(transparent)] wrappers around Complex<T> [5], which should correct ABI handling on x86. The docs are also getting attention: the edition guide is prepping for never type stabilization [6]. Meanwhile, crates.io and libc both refreshed their lock files [7][8], keeping dependencies current but requiring manual merge.
