# Deliberately not triggered by pull_request.
#
# The forge this runs on is public and takes pull requests from strangers, and a
# runner executes whatever the workflow checks out. Triggering on pull_request
# would mean a stranger's first contribution runs code on the runner host before
# anyone has read it. Triggering only on push means the runner only ever executes
# code that someone with push rights put there.

jobs:
  check:
    # `docker`, not `ubuntu-latest`. The runner registers both labels but only
    # serves this one; a job asking for the other is never claimed at all, and
    # shows up as a run that failed in sixty seconds with an empty log.
    runs-on: docker
    # Pinned, not floating: `cargo fmt --check` is part of the gate and
    # rustfmt's output moves between releases, so a moving image would fail on
    # formatting nobody touched. CI is the authority on which release that is.
    container:
      image: rust:1.98-bookworm

    steps:
      # Not actions/checkout. That is a JavaScript action: the runner executes
      # it with `node` inside this container, and a Rust image carries no node,
      # so the job dies at the first step with "node: executable file not found
      # in $PATH". actions/cache is the same. Cloning by hand costs four lines
      # and keeps the lean image.
