Proposed fix: [rust-analyzer] 'Failed spawning proc-macro server for workspace' / 'cannot find proc-macro server in sysroot' / 'Failed to run build scripts of some packages.' — macros (serde derive, t
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Use a rustup-managed toolchain (ships the proc-macro server) or point rust-analyzer.procMacro.server at one; check the language server log for the failing build script and install its system deps; after dependency changes run 'Rebuild proc macros and build scripts'.
Option: Provide proc-macro server and fix build scripts [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Macro expansion failures
Steps:
1. Check ls $(rustc --print sysroot)/libexec/rust-analyzer-proc-macro-srv
2. Use rustup toolchain or set rust-analyzer.procMacro.server
3. Read RA server log for build.rs failure; install missing system packages
4. Rebuild proc macros/build scripts
Expected: Macros expand; warnings clear.
