redesign stage 0 std ### Summary **Blog post: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2025/05/29/redesigning-the-initial-bootstrap-sequence/** This PR changes how bootstrap builds the stage 1 compiler by switching to precompiled stage 0 standard library instead of building the in-tree one. The goal was to update bootstrap to use the beta standard library at stage 0 rather than compiling it from source (see the motivation at https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/619). Previously, to build a stage 1 compiler bootstrap followed this path: ``` download stage0 compiler -> build in-tree std -> compile stage1 compiler with in-tree std ``` With this PR, the new path is: ``` download stage0 compiler -> compile stage1 compiler with precompiled stage0 std ``` This also means that `cfg(bootstrap)`/`cfg(not(bootstrap))` is no longer needed for library development. ### Building "library" Since stage0 `std` is no longer in-tree `x build/test/check library --stage 0` is now no-op. The minimum supported stage to build `std` is now 1. For the same reason, default stage values in the library profile is no longer 0. Because building the in-tree library now requires a stage1 compiler, I highly recommend library developers to enable `download-rustc` to speed up compilation time. <hr> **Blog post: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2025/05/29/redesigning-the-initial-bootstrap-sequence/** If you encounter a bug or unexpected results please open a topic in the [#t-infra/bootstrap](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/326414-t-infra.2Fbootstrap) Zulip channel or create a [bootstrap issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new?template=bootstrap.md).

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
