## Summary

Bump the pinned Rust toolchain from 1.95.0 to 1.98.1 so release builds
work on macOS 27 hosts.

Rust ≤ 1.97 strips Apple-target artifacts with its bundled
`llvm-objcopy`, which leaves the Mach-O `LC_SYMTAB` string pool
(`__LINKEDIT`) only 4-byte aligned. macOS 27's dyld refuses to `dlopen`
such images (`mis-aligned LINKEDIT string pool`). Because cargo applies
the release profile's default `strip = "debuginfo"` to proc-macro dylibs
too, `cargo build --release` of any crate that uses sqlx macros
(`buzz-db`, `buzz-relay`, `buzz-admin`, …) fails on macOS 27: rustc
cannot load `libsqlx_macros-*.dylib`. Dev builds pass because the dev
profile does not strip, which is why this only shows up as a
release/packaging failure.

The fix (llvm/llvm-project#203680, pulled into rustc by
rust-lang/rust#158410 for rust-lang/rust#157750) first shipped in Rust
1.98.0 and was never backported to 1.97.x. `block/buzz-app` pinned
1.98.1 for the same failure in block/buzz-app#529. With this bump the
`CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_BUILD_OVERRIDE_STRIP=none` / custom-linker
workarounds people have been using locally are no longer needed.

### What changes

Two commits: the toolchain bump (with the desktop clippy fixes), then
the workspace clippy fixes.

| Location | Change |
|---|---|
| `rust-toolchain.toml` | `channel = "1.95.0"` → `"1.98.1"` (profile
unchanged) |
| `Dockerfile`, `Dockerfile.push-gateway` | `ARG RUST_VERSION=1.95` →
`1.98` |
| `Dockerfile.sprig` | `rust:1.98-alpine3.22` with the manifest-list
digest verified on Docker Hub (shared by the `1.98` and `1.98.1` tags) |
| `.github/workflows/release.yml` | `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` pinned to
the tip of its `1.98.1` branch (`18f04874`) for the Windows desktop
release job |
| `benchmarks/harbor-buzz-orchestra` | `RUST_IMAGE = rust:1.98-alpine` |
| `_ci-rust.yml`, `windows-canary.yml`, `app_state_tests.rs` | stale
"1.95" comments reworded; the `unknown_lints` allow stays with a
version-agnostic rationale |
| `desktop/src-tauri` | lints clippy 1.98 newly raises under `-D
warnings`: `chunks_exact_to_as_chunks` at five fixed-width PCM/UTF-16
decoders, `needless_borrows_for_generic_args` on the `Copy` `norm`
closure in `config_bridge/reader.rs`, and a redundant `Engine as _`
import in `hpke_key_backup_tests.rs` that `use super::*` already
provides |
| Workspace crates (9) | the 30 lints clippy 1.98 newly raises in `cargo
clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`, listed below |

Workspace lint fixes:

| Lint | Sites | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| `result_large_err` (20) | `buzz-relay` `api/git/transport.rs` (8),
`api/git/settings.rs` (6), `api/gifs.rs`, `api/workflows.rs`,
`api/profiles.rs`; `buzz-push-gateway` `verify_installation_assertion` |
Clippy 1.98 now checks `async fn`s, so every `async fn … -> Result<_,
axum::response::Response>` trips it. These follow the existing allow
pattern in `api/media.rs` and `nip_fi_http.rs` ("Response is the natural
error type for axum handlers"): module-level in the two git files,
per-function elsewhere. Boxing `Response` would touch every handler for
no runtime benefit. |
| `chunks_exact_to_as_chunks` (3) | `buzz-media` MP4 brand scan;
`buzz-voice` npy f32 reader and stereo test fixture | `chunks_exact(N)`
→ `as_chunks::<N>().0` |
| `question_mark` (3) | `buzz-acp` queue flush fallback and
slash-command mention skip; `buzz-agent` `find_git_root` | `match … {
None => return None }` → `?` |
| `useless_format` (2) | `buzz-auth` nip_fi startup test policies |
`format!("…")` → `"…".to_string()` |
| `useless_borrows_in_formatting` (1) | `buzz-pairing-cli` secret print
| drop the borrow |
| `manual_noop_waker` (1) | `buzz-sdk` broker test `block_on` |
`Waker::noop()` (stable since 1.85) |

All `as_chunks` rewrites keep `chunks_exact`'s remainder-dropping
semantics, and `as_chunks` is stable since 1.88, which is the MSRV.

One change in `api/git/transport.rs` is not a lint fix. Staging that
file trips the pre-commit secret scanner on its existing test-only ES256
fixture (`GIT_TEST_EC_PEM`), and the scanner only honours a suppression
marker on the flagged line. So the `\`-continued string literal is
rewritten as a byte-identical `concat!` whose `BEGIN` line carries
`sadscan:disable kingfisher.privkey.2`.

Left as is on purpose: `Cargo.toml` `rust-version = "1.88.0"` (MSRV
floor, a separate concern), the README/CONTRIBUTING "1.88+" text, Hermit
(no Rust packages there), the lockfiles, and the `(1.95.0)` comment in
`scripts/start-isolated-test-relay.sh` (the pre-commit secret scanner
flags that file's pre-existing dev-only `DATABASE_URL` whenever it is
staged).

### Related issue
Fixes #8074

### Testing
All under rustc/clippy 1.98.1 on a macOS 27 host (Darwin 27.0.0,
aarch64), with no `RUSTFLAGS` / `SDKROOT` / strip overrides in the
environment:

- `cargo build --release -p buzz-db` (the #8074 repro: the release
profile strips the proc-macro dylib): **builds**. The resulting
`libsqlx_macros-*.dylib` (14 MB) has `LC_SYMTAB stroff % 8 == 0` per
`otool -l`. The same build on 1.95.0 died with `mis-aligned LINKEDIT
string pool`.
- `just clippy` (workspace, `-D warnings`) and `cargo fmt --check`
(workspace and `desktop/src-tauri`): pass
- `just desktop-tauri-clippy` (default and `mesh-llm` feature sets):
pass
- `just test-unit`: every crate passes. The `buzz-acp` binary failed
only under pre-push lane contention; rerun solo it is 1060 passed, 0
failed.
- `just desktop-tauri-test`: 3422 passed, 0 failed
- After the lint fixes: lib/bin unit tests for `buzz-acp`, `buzz-agent`,
`buzz-auth`, `buzz-media`, `buzz-voice`, `buzz-sdk`, `buzz-pairing-cli`,
and `buzz-relay`'s `api::git::transport` tests, including the
Postgres-backed
`enforce_mode_git_pack_routes_missing_assertion_exact_bytes`, which
parses the rewritten PEM: pass

`cfg(windows)` code was not linted locally (no Windows target
installed). CI's Windows Rust job runs workspace clippy for
`x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, and that passes on this branch. CI also builds
the relay, push-gateway and sprig images on the new `rust:1.98` bases
for amd64 and arm64.

No runtime behavior changes.
