hi @eeminionn — it is clear to me that you generated this PR with an LLM, and i'm not sure there's a human on the other side of your account at all. i'm going to close this. if you would like to see your work merged, please open a new PR with a description you wrote yourself, describing the problem you're trying to fix and how the PR helps fix it.

date triage in particular is a bad fit for LLMs because i have no idea whether you've actually verified the new dates or not; that verification is the whole point.

HI @jyn514, yes, there’s a real person behind this account 😅 Emilio here, from Chile ✌️

I usually use AI to help me write PR descriptions because English isn’t my first language, but I personally review and verify the technical work. In this case, I did check the dates myself.

I understand your concern, though. I’ll open a new PR with a description written in my own words and include the verification I did. I hope it can be reconsidered. Cheers!

@jyn514 I went back and manually checked this against the current rust-lang/rust main branch and the linked tracking issues. You were right that simply bumping all four dates is not sufficient:

• #113349 is still open and was updated on July 27, 2026, so the warning about ongoing parallel front-end work remains valid.
• The compiler is always built with parallel support now, but front-end parallelism still defaults to one job. -Z threads is deprecated in favor of --jobs-frontend.
• The parallel iterator section is stale: par_iter is no longer exported, and par_body_owners / par_for_each_module are now par_hir_body_owners / par_hir_for_each_module. The usage table also needs updating.
• #82741 remains open, and rustdoc rendering still uses serial loops and RefCell state, so that note remains valid.
• #48685 was closed as completed on June 11, 2026, so the wording that calls it an open tracking issue is stale.

So the current date-only patch should not be merged as-is. I’ll rewrite the change and the description in my own words in a new PR, as you requested. Thanks for calling this out.

Also note that git diff --check checks absolutely nothing of relevance. If you do not have the expertise to understand that, then I am afraid you are probably not going to be able to help -- sorry. That's fine, not everyone is able to help every project. If you are motivated to want to help and willing to invest time, I would suggest searching for online resources to learn git and Rust. :) If you did not actually read the PR description and hence missed that it contained such meaningless statements, then please stop doing that as sharing unfiltered LLM output with others without their consent is rather impolite.
