Regenerate the API docs — check is red on main because they drifted.

check fails on main at its "Check for API docs drift" step:

API docs drift detected. The compile-time manifest in
crates/perry-api-manifest/src/entries.rs changed but the
generated artifacts under docs/ weren't regenerated.

crates/perry-api-manifest/src/entries.rs gained the @parcel/watcher compatibility facade (#8532) plus entries from #8535 and #8525 without ./scripts/regen_api_docs.sh being rerun. This is that script's output only, no hand edits: coverage moves from 2033 entries across 124 modules to 2051 across 134.

Verified: check goes from fail to pass with this change (it is red on main and on this PR's first push, green after).

…t on main

main (4ee1d04) fails to build its test targets:

  error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature `float_algebraic`
    --> crates/perry-runtime/src/perf_histogram.rs:277:31

#8550 introduced algebraic_sub/mul/add describing them as "Rust 1.98's
algebraic_* float methods". They are not stable: float_algebraic is an
unstable library feature needing #![feature(float_algebraic)] on any
channel. perry-runtime declares no such gate, nothing sets
RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP, and there is no rust-toolchain file, so these fail to
compile on stable AND on the nightly that commit pinned -- which is why
cargo-test dies before running a single test.

The reassociation was only an optimization, as the shipped comment
itself noted (the HdrHistogram stddev is a bucketed approximation
nothing requires bit-exact), so plain arithmetic is behaviour-preserving
and keeps the crate building on stable.

cargo check --workspace --tests: 0 errors (fails on main).
cargo test -p perry-runtime perf_histogram: 9/9.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 166a5

The PR regenerates API reference artifacts and updates related metadata; the remaining merge-readiness issue is a Markdown lint error from an untyped fenced block in the changelog. This is a bounded one-line fix, so the change is otherwise mergeable with that follow-up.

Holding — the diagnosis was correct when written, but the premise no longer holds, and one part of it is factually wrong.

Wrong part. The description says float_algebraic "needs #![feature(float_algebraic)] regardless of channel" and so fails "on stable and on the nightly that same commit pinned." The nightly half does not reproduce. On current main (ef5e5fa84) with rustc 1.100.0-nightly (f7d782a3b):

$ cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targets
exit=0   E0658 errors: 0

perry-runtime declares no #![feature(float_algebraic)] and compiles anyway, test targets included. So the methods are usable on the pinned nightly without a gate.

Stale part. Your reproduction was against 4ee1d04b5, before #8561 added rust-toolchain.toml. At that commit a plain cargo resolved to the default toolchain — stable here — and E0658 was exactly right; I hit the same wall trying to build for a benchmark sweep, which is what prompted #8561. Now that the toolchain file is in the tree, cargo resolves nightly-2026-08-20 automatically and the build is clean.

Why I would not take this now. Dropping the algebraic_* calls removes a real (if small) reassociation win, and it does not let the project leave nightly: .cargo/config.toml's [unstable] min-publish-age is nightly-only (rust-lang/cargo#17009), so nightly is required regardless of this code. The trade would be a lost optimization for no reduction in toolchain requirements.

Your closing note is the right instinct though, and it is worth acting on independently: an explicit #![feature(float_algebraic)] in perry-runtime would make the nightly dependency declared rather than incidental. Right now the crate compiles on the pinned nightly by luck of what that nightly happens to have stabilized — if the pin moves to a nightly where the gate is required again, it breaks silently. A one-line gate plus a comment would pin the intent. Happy to take that version of this PR.

Also worth noting for whoever picks it up: this bumps the workspace version, and its changelog fragment is keyed 8560- rather than to this PR.

check is red on main for a second reason independent of the compile
break: the API docs drift step. crates/perry-api-manifest/src/entries.rs
gained the @parcel/watcher facade (#8532) plus entries from #8535 and
#8525 without the generated artifacts being regenerated.

regen_api_docs.sh output only, no hand edits: coverage 2033 entries /
124 modules -> 2051 / 134.
My float_algebraic 'fix' was based on a local E0658 that does not occur
in CI: main's gap-suite compiles and passes, so algebraic_* is available
on the nightly #8550 pinned. My local stable 1.97.1 simply cannot build
it. Replacing those calls with plain arithmetic therefore fixed nothing
and changed stddev numerics, which broke gap-suite (2) -- green on main,
red on this PR.

What remains is the API docs regeneration, which is independently
verified: check is red on main and on this PR's first push, and green
after the regenerated artifacts.

Narrowed this PR — dropping the perf_histogram change I originally opened it for, and keeping only the API docs regeneration.

What I got wrong. I reproduced error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature float_algebraic`` locally and concluded it was what took cargo-test down on `main`. It was not. `main`'s gap-suite compiles and passes, so `algebraic_*` is available on the nightly #8550 pinned; my local stable 1.97.1 simply cannot build it, and this repo has no `rust-toolchain` file to have told me so. Replacing those calls with plain arithmetic therefore fixed nothing and changed the stddev numerics — which is why `gap-suite (2)` went from green on `main` to red here. Reverted.

That is the second time in this session I have acted on a local reproduction that did not match CI, so I want it stated rather than quietly amended.

What survives, and is independently verified: the API docs drift. check's "Check for API docs drift" step is red on mainentries.rs gained the @parcel/watcher facade (#8532) plus entries from #8535 and #8525 without regen_api_docs.sh being rerun. check failed on this PR's first push and passed once the regenerated artifacts were included, which is the before/after that makes the claim checkable. Generator output only, no hand edits.

main's cargo-test failure is therefore still unexplained by me; its log shows no compile error or test failure, so it may be a timeout or infrastructure fault rather than a code defect. I did not want to leave a misattribution standing while that is still open.
