Not a defect when

The hand-written partial_cmp simply returns Some(self.cmp(other)), so both orderings agree by construction.

What it reads

Clippy, with the compiler behind it. The only pass that compiles.

Tier

Serious: worth interrupting other work for.

The tier bounds how severe a rule may be; its category bounds the tier.

Diff scope

The changed line itself.

What --scope contextual looks at to decide whether a change caused the finding.

Change it

Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:

rust-doctor --rule clippy::derive_ord_xor_partial_ord=off .
rust-doctor --rule clippy::derive_ord_xor_partial_ord=error .

Set it once in rust-doctor.toml
