Michael Bolin 148dbb25f0 ci: stop running rust CI with --all-features (#16473)
## Why

Now that workspace crate features have been removed and
`.github/scripts/verify_cargo_workspace_manifests.py` hard-bans new
ones, Rust CI should stop building and testing with `--all-features`.

Keeping `--all-features` in CI no longer buys us meaningful coverage for
`codex-rs`, but it still makes the workflow look like we rely on Cargo
feature permutations that we are explicitly trying to eliminate. It also
leaves stale examples in the repo that suggest `--all-features` is a
normal or recommended way to run the workspace.

## What changed

- removed `--all-features` from the Rust CI `cargo chef cook`, `cargo
clippy`, and `cargo nextest` invocations in
`.github/workflows/rust-ci-full.yml`
- updated the `just test` guidance in `justfile` to reflect that
workspace crate features are banned and there should be no need to add
`--all-features`
- updated the multiline command example and snapshot in
`codex-rs/tui/src/history_cell.rs` to stop rendering `cargo test
--all-features --quiet`
- tightened the verifier docstring in
`.github/scripts/verify_cargo_workspace_manifests.py` so it no longer
talks about temporary remaining exceptions

## How tested

- `python3 .github/scripts/verify_cargo_workspace_manifests.py`
- `cargo test -p codex-tui`

Workflow Strategy

The workflows in this directory are split so that pull requests get fast, review-friendly signal while main still gets the full cross-platform verification pass.

Pull Requests

  • bazel.yml is the main pre-merge verification path for Rust code. It runs Bazel test and Bazel clippy on the supported Bazel targets.
  • rust-ci.yml keeps the Cargo-native PR checks intentionally small:
    • cargo fmt --check
    • cargo shear
    • argument-comment-lint on Linux, macOS, and Windows
    • tools/argument-comment-lint package tests when the lint or its workflow wiring changes

The PR workflow still keeps the Linux lint lane on the default-targets-only invocation for now, but the released linter runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows before merge.

Post-Merge On main

  • bazel.yml also runs on pushes to main. This re-verifies the merged Bazel path and helps keep the BuildBuddy caches warm.
  • rust-ci-full.yml is the full Cargo-native verification workflow. It keeps the heavier checks off the PR path while still validating them after merge:
    • the full Cargo clippy matrix
    • the full Cargo nextest matrix
    • release-profile Cargo builds
    • cross-platform argument-comment-lint
    • Linux remote-env tests

Rule Of Thumb

  • If a build/test/clippy check can be expressed in Bazel, prefer putting the PR-time version in bazel.yml.
  • Keep rust-ci.yml fast enough that it usually does not dominate PR latency.
  • Reserve rust-ci-full.yml for heavyweight Cargo-native coverage that Bazel does not replace yet.
