tomatocream f07e0c08c8 Fix formatting drift after rename, and document git-init requirement
Found via an end-to-end test of nix flake init -> rename -> nix flake
check: renaming can reorder `use` statements alphabetically (e.g.
"acme_widget" now sorts before "criterion"), and treefmt's rustfmt
(nixpkgs) disagreed with cargo fmt's rustfmt (fenix toolchain) on
edition-2024 import grouping, so the formatting check failed right
after a clean rename.

- nix/treefmt.nix: pin programs.rustfmt.edition = "2024" to match
  Cargo.toml, so treefmt and cargo fmt agree.
- scripts/rename-project.sh: auto-format (cargo fmt, falling back to
  nix fmt) after renaming, and note that nix commands need git-tracked
  files.
- README.md/CLAUDE.md: document that `nix flake init -t` doesn't
  git-init for you, and every nix command needs `git add` first.

# rust_template
A minimal Rust project template: a `clap` CLI backed by a library crate, with unit tests, an
integration test, a `criterion` benchmark, and a Nix flake (crane + fenix) — so it builds the same
way with plain `cargo` or with `nix`.
## Using this template
1. Copy/clone this repo, or scaffold fresh with `nix flake init -t <this-repo-url>`.
2. If you used `nix flake init` (no `.git` yet), run `git init && git add -A`
Nix flakes only see git-tracked files, so every `nix` command below needs this first.
3. Rename the placeholder crate name:
```bash
./scripts/rename-project.sh my_project
cd .. && mv rust_template my_project && cd my_project
git add -A # stage the rename before running any nix command again
```
4. Build whatever you actually came here for — replace `greet` in `src/lib.rs`, extend the CLI in
`src/main.rs`, add your own tests and benchmarks.
## Building and running
**With Cargo** (needs Rust installed, or run inside `nix develop`):
```bash
cargo run -- Zeke # build + run, prints "Hello, Zeke!"
cargo build --release
cargo test # unit + integration tests
cargo bench # criterion benchmark
```
**With Nix** (no local Rust install needed):
```bash
nix develop # dev shell with the pinned toolchain + tools
nix build # produces ./result/bin/rust_template
nix run -- Zeke # build + run
nix flake check # clippy, fmt, doc, audit, tests — all in one go
nix fmt # format Rust, Nix, and TOML files
```
If you have [direnv](https://direnv.net/) installed, `direnv allow` activates the dev shell
automatically on `cd` (see `.envrc`).
`just` (available inside `nix develop`) wraps the common commands above — run `just` to list them.
See `CLAUDE.md` for more detail on the project layout and how the pieces fit together.
