Proposed fix: [maturin PEP 517 builds] Without cargo, maturin tries to download Rust ('Rust not found, installing into a temporary directory') — fails in offline sandboxes; with MATURIN_NO_INSTALL_RUS
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Prefer getting a wheel (upgrade pip/uv, use a supported Python/arch). For intended source builds, preinstall Rust (rustup) and put cargo on PATH; in offline or locked-down sandboxes set MATURIN_NO_INSTALL_RUST=1 so the failure is immediate and explicit rather than a network fetch.
Option: Provide Rust or disable auto-install [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. Upgrade pip/uv and retry to pick a wheel
2. Else install Rust via rustup and export PATH with ~/.cargo/bin
3. In offline sandboxes: export MATURIN_NO_INSTALL_RUST=1 to fail fast
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
