rationalize-deps

Identify dependencies with default features enabled in your workspace Cargo.toml, disable unnecessary ones, and iteratively build the workspace to verify the minimal feature set for reduced compile times and binary size.

Unnecessary default features in a Rust workspace are Cargo dependency flags enabled by default but not required by the codebase. They are detected by examining documented crate features and attempting to disable default-features during build verification.

Set default-features = false for candidate dependencies in Cargo.toml, run cargo check to test compilation, and iterate the build verification until the minimal required feature set is achieved.

Yes, you can optimize build-optimization for a large Rust workspace by assessing each crate's documented features, pruning default features that are unused, and validating the minimal set through workspace compilation.

Systematically disable default features per dependency in your workspace, verify the build compiles successfully, and generate a reproducible report of the validated minimal feature configurations to effectively reduce binary size.
