The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates Monero's Guix reproducible-build scripts to add support for Rust dependencies needed by an upcoming feature called FCMP++. It does not change wallet logic, consensus rules, or network code. The changes are build-system plumbing: vendoring Rust crates, configuring Cargo to use them offline, and exposing the Rust standard library source. There is no direct evidence this commit fixes or introduces a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

Treat as routine build-system maintenance. Reviewers should verify that the pinned git revisions and vendored dependency hashes match the intended upstream sources, and that the RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP usage remains confined to the Guix build environment. No immediate security response is indicated.

Security signals we found

01

RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 enables nightly-only compiler features on stable Rust, which is a known anti-pattern but here is used only inside the deterministic Guix build container

02

Cargo vendoring includes two git dependencies (crypto-bigint fork and monero-oxide), but their exact revisions are pinned in config.toml

03

The rust dependency archive hash is hard-coded and verified against the Guix store item, improving supply-chain reproducibility

04

No runtime, consensus, or cryptographic code is changed in this commit
