Not a defect when
The bounds are cfg-dependent constants that only cross in this configuration, so the clamp yields a varying result on other builds.
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

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