update serde to the latest version after the precompiled library got removed (#1217)
What changed, and why it matters
This commit updates the serde and serde_derive Rust libraries from version 1.0.171 to 1.0.219. The project had previously pinned serde_derive to 1.0.171 or lower to avoid precompiled binaries. Now that upstream has removed those precompiled libraries, the project is moving to a newer serde version. This is a routine dependency update with no direct security fix visible in the diff, but staying on older library versions can mean missing security patches.
Verify whether serde 1.0.219 addresses any known security advisories compared to 1.0.171. Run the project's test suite and consider reviewing serde's release notes for security-relevant fixes. No urgent action is indicated by this diff alone.
Security signals we found
Dependency version bump for serde/serde_derive
Removal of a constraint that avoided precompiled binaries
No code-level security fix visible in the diff
No CVE, advisory, or security changelog referenced in commit
Evidence from the diff
The diff only changes Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock. serde is bumped from 1.0.171 to 1.0.219, and the previous constraint serde_derive = "1.0, <=1.0.171" (which existed to avoid precompiled binaries per serde-rs/serde#2538) is replaced with serde_derive = "1.0.184". The commit message says this is because the precompiled library was removed. No code changes are present, and no CVE or advisory is referenced in the commit or supplied references.
