Rename min_bytes_needed cargo mutants exclude
Got missed during rebase, merge, rename, I'd guess.
Use the new name when excluding.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a trivial configuration-only rename. It updates a single line in the project's mutation-testing exclusion file so that the correct function name ('read_limit') is skipped by the cargo-mutants tool, replacing the old name ('min_bytes_needed'). It does not change any production code, cryptographic logic, network handling, or user-facing behavior.
No security action needed. This is a benign tooling/CI configuration fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff changes one line in .cargo/mutants.toml, replacing an exclude_re pattern for ‘min_bytes_needed’ with ‘read_limit’. This file controls which functions the cargo-mutants mutation-testing framework skips. The change has no effect on compiled binaries, APIs, or security-sensitive code paths.
