dtolnay/rust-toolchain action.yml toolchain input default derived from ref pinned commit SHA required
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
As of 2026-09-19, the current dtolnay/rust-toolchain behavior is: - In the current master action.yml, toolchain is marked required: true and has no default. Therefore, a workflow using a full commit SHA must provide with.toolchain; the action cannot derive a Rust toolchain from that SHA. [1] - The repository’s README explains the unusual convention: the action revision (@rev) selects the toolchain by default—for example, @nightly selects nightly and @1.89.0 selects Rust 1.89.0. If you want to pass toolchain explicitly, use @master as the action revision. [2] - Consequently, this is valid and explicit: yaml - uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@<40-character-commit-sha> # action commit with: toolchain: 1.89.0 Do not expect <40-character-commit-sha> itself to imply 1.89.0; it identifies the action code, not the Rust toolchain. A recent real-world fix confirms that pinning the action to a commit SHA required adding an explicit toolchain: "1.96.0". [3] For reproducible and auditable configuration, pin the action to a full-length SHA and specify the Rust toolchain separately. The selected action SHA should be a commit in the master branch history; the project warns that commits outside that history may eventually be garbage-collected. [2][4] Historical caveat: older action revisions did have defaults—for example, revision ea97cfc... declared default: nightly—so inspect the exact pinned action.yml when evaluating an old SHA. [5] The current SHA-pinned behavior is no implicit default: toolchain is required. [1]

official rustup toolchain specification valid channel names version v1
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
The official rustup toolchain specification defines valid channel names as part of a broader toolchain naming convention [1][2]. A standard release channel toolchain name follows the format: <channel>[-<date>][-<host>] [1][3]. The <channel> component can be one of the following [1][2]: 1. Named release channels: stable, beta, or nightly [1][4]. 2. Versioned releases: A major and minor version (e.g., 1.42) or a fully specified version number (e.g., 1.42.0) [1][3]. 3. Prerelease versions: Versioned releases can optionally include a prerelease suffix, such as beta or beta.<number> (e.g., 1.8-beta, 1.8.0-beta.2) [1][2][5]. Optional components include: - <date>: An archive date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., nightly-2014-12-18), used to download a toolchain from the official archives for that specific date [1][3]. - <host>: A target triple (e.g., x86_64-pc-windows-msvc) used to specify the host platform [1][3]. Toolchain names that do not match these standard channel patterns are treated as custom toolchains [1][3].

site:rust-lang.github.io/rustup rustup toolchain install custom toolchain name v1 error
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
In rustup, custom toolchains are not installed using the rustup toolchain install command, which is reserved for official release channels and versioned toolchains [1]. Instead, custom toolchains must be registered using the rustup toolchain link command [2][3]. If you attempt to use rustup toolchain install with a name that does not correspond to an official channel, you will likely encounter an error because rustup does not recognize it as a valid, downloadable release channel [1]. To correctly add a custom toolchain, use the following syntax: rustup toolchain link <custom-name> <path-to-toolchain> Naming Restrictions When choosing a name for your custom toolchain, keep the following constraints in mind [2]: - Allowed characters: Letters, digits, dots (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-). - Prohibited characters: Colons (:), single quotes ('), whitespace, most punctuation, emojis, and invisible or direction-altering characters. - Starting characters: A name cannot start with a hyphen (-). - Reserved names: A name cannot be just a single dot (.) or double dots (..). If you are encountering an error related to a rust-toolchain file (e.g., error: invalid channel name '[toolchain]'), this often indicates that you are using an older version of rustup (pre-1.23.0) with a project that uses the modern TOML-based configuration [4][5]. Upgrading rustup to version 1.23.0 or later will resolve this issue [4][5].

Provide one valid toolchain input for every pinned dtolnay/rust-toolchain step.
The pinned action requires toolchain and has no default. The steps at release.yml:220 and zig-ffi.yml:100,128 therefore fail because they provide no with.toolchain.
The release.yml:66-70 and zig-ffi.yml:49-53 steps contain duplicate with mappings. Merge each pair into one mapping. v1 is not a downloadable Rust release channel or version. Use stable or the required Rust version instead.
Apply the same replacement to stress-test.yml:20-21.

…0.1.6) `actions.lock` is authoritative: the workflows carry readable refs and the lock records the commit each ref resolves to, which is what actually runs. Refs that stop matching the manifest make the whole repository unstartable — `startup_failure`, "Invalid lockfile". Regenerated with the official extension (`github/gh-actions-lock`). The hand-pinned SHA refs are reverted to their readable form here precisely because the lockfile, not the workflow, is what pins them.

fix(ci): pin third-party actions to full commit SHAs
The account's Actions policy requires a full-length SHA ref. A tag or branch ref is refused at
startup —
startup_failure, no jobs, "this workflow graph cannot be shown" — so these workflowscould not run at all. This resolves each ref to the commit it currently points at and records the
ref in a trailing comment, e.g.
actions/checkout@<sha> # v4.dtolnay/rust-toolchaintakes its toolchain from the ref itself, so those steps also gained anexplicit
with: toolchain:input; without it, a SHA ref would silently lose the channel.No behaviour is intended to change beyond the pins.
