Not a defect when
The decimal value was chosen deliberately to equal the intended bits, such as 420 standing for 0o644, and the code says so.
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::non_octal_unix_permissions=off .
rust-doctor --rule clippy::non_octal_unix_permissions=error .
