Focused Rust dependency-maintenance pass from the 2026-05-23 security/freshness
review. No CVEs; one advisory cleared and one deprecated crate replaced.
- rand 0.9.2 → 0.9.4 (lockfile): clears RUSTSEC-2026-0097 (unsound with a
custom logger using rand::rng()). Semver-compatible; rand 0.10 is a separate
major.
- Compatible-update sweep: ~90 lockfile-only patch/minor bumps (bevy 0.18.0→
0.18.1, clap 4.5→4.6, rayon 1.11→1.12, pathfinding 4.14→4.15, uuid 1.20→1.23,
zerocopy, serde_json, tracing-subscriber, etc.). cargo test green.
- serde_yaml 0.9 (deprecated/archived upstream) → serde_norway 0.9, an actively
maintained drop-in fork. In the server it is test-only (poi.rs round-trip,
trait_modifiers.rs fixture, tests/news_ticker.rs) so it moves to
dev-dependencies; line-previewer parses dialogue/monologue pool YAML at
runtime, so it keeps it as a normal dependency. API is identical (from_str/
to_string).
news_ticker.rs also picks up its share of the #967 clippy sweep (HashSet/HashMap
→ BTree, doc-list indent) since it is the same file as the serde rename.
