Lint group sharing priority with an individual lint

clippy::lint_groups_priority

Give the lint group a lower priority, such as priority = -1, so the individual lint levels in the same table override it.

Not a defect when

The group and the individual lint in the same table set the same level, so their relative order cannot change the effective level of any lint.

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

Set it once in rust-doctor.toml
