What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Clippy

Clippy provides over 800 lints organized into configurable categories to catch common mistakes and improve Rust code quality. Lints are categorized by severity (correctness, suspicious, style, complexity, performance) and can be enabled or disabled individually.

Independently observed

Trunk

A platform that identifies unstable tests, automatically isolates them from blocking merges, and provides intelligent merge queue management to reduce build delays and developer friction.
