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.

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

Set it once in rust-doctor.toml
