chore: adopt mr-boxington 1.1 cargo shim

[jdx]

Summary

• adopt the mr-boxington mise shorthand at 1.1.0 with the setup post-install hook
• run compilation-heavy tasks through ordinary cargo commands and the transparent shim
• refresh the locked release and contributor/agent guidance

Validation

• MISE_LOCKED=1 mise install mr-boxington
• mise exec -- mbx --version (mbx 1.1.0)
• mise tasks ls
• git diff --check

Note

Low Risk
Tooling and CI-cache configuration only; application code and runtime behavior are unchanged aside from how Cargo is invoked locally and in updated workflows.

Overview
Upgrades mbx to 1.1.0 and shifts day-to-day builds from explicit mbx build / mbx test to normal cargo calls, relying on mbx setup --global (mise postinstall) for transparent caching.

mise pins mr-boxington 1.1.0 with postinstall setup, refreshes mise.lock, and splits perf:build as a release compile with MBX_DISABLE=1 so benchmark timings are not cache-skewed. hk’s clippy step now runs cargo clippy instead of mbx clippy.

The GitHub composite action bumps mr-boxington-action to 1.1.0, drops the old cache-links / toolchain inputs, and sets cache-generation: v2. CONTRIBUTING.md and .rules document bypass via MBX_DISABLE=1, mbx doctor, and redaction when reporting shim issues.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project upgrades mr-boxington to 1.1, enables its transparent Cargo shim through mise, changes build and test tasks to use Cargo commands, updates the CI action, and revises policy and contributor guidance.

Changes

mr-boxington 1.1 integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tool setup and CI action mise.toml, .github/actions/mbx/action.yml	Pins mr-boxington to 1.1, runs global setup, and updates the action version, cache generation, and inputs.
Cargo task integration mise.toml	Build and test tasks invoke Cargo directly. Performance tasks use a shared release-build task with MBX_DISABLE=1.
Shim policy and contributor guidance .rules, CONTRIBUTING.md	Documents transparent shim usage, the MBX_DISABLE=1 fallback, mbx doctor troubleshooting, and redaction requirements.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 73a16

The PR changes build and test commands to use Cargo through a transparent caching shim. On older mise versions, the shim may not be activated, causing builds and tests to run without caching; this is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on the minimum mise version guard.

Poem

A rabbit checks the Cargo trail
While mbx tools refresh the vale
The shim now guides each command
Build and test run as planned
Secrets stay hidden in shared reports
mbx doctor helps with support
