Not a defect when

Visiting at most the first element is the intent and the loop serves as a terse if let, though an if let would state that intent better.

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

Set it once in rust-doctor.toml
