Not a defect when
The inherent to_string returns exactly what Display prints and is kept only as published API for backward compatibility.
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.

Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:
rust-doctor --rule clippy::inherent_to_string_shadow_display=off .
rust-doctor --rule clippy::inherent_to_string_shadow_display=error .
