# PR #16149: Workflow Design Impact Analysis

## Affected Workflows
- Lint Development (Workflow 5): The PR adds a new lint `manual_checked_div` by implementing it in `clippy_lints/src/manual_checked_div.rs`, registering it via updates to `declared_lints.rs` and `lib.rs` using `cargo dev update_lints`, adding corresponding UI tests in `tests/ui/manual_checked_div/`, and updating `CHANGELOG.md`. These actions directly correspond to the lint development process outlined in `.exp/workflows.json` under the "lint-development" workflow, which covers creating, registering, and testing new lints.

- Testing (Workflow 4): New UI test files (`.rs`, `.stderr`, `.fixed`) are introduced for the new lint, which will be executed and verified as part of the comprehensive testing suite, including UI tests managed by `tests/compile-test.rs`.

## Lint Development Analysis (Workflow 5)

### Summary of design changes
The PR adheres to the existing lint-development design without introducing modifications to the workflow or its components. Specifically:
- A new lint pass is implemented manually (instead of using `cargo dev new_lint`), including the `declare_clippy_lint!` macro invocation and `LateLintPass` implementation in `manual_checked_div.rs`.
- UI test scaffolding is created manually in `tests/ui/manual_checked_div/`.
- Integration is achieved by running `cargo dev update_lints`, which parses the declaration, updates `declared_lints.rs` (adding to `LINTS` array), `lib.rs` (adding `mod` declaration), and refreshes documentation including `CHANGELOG.md` counts and links.
- A manual addition to `CHANGELOG.md` provides the specific description for the new lint, as the tool updates counts but not individual entries.

No new steps are added, components modified, or interactions changed in the scaffolding or integration sequences. The design remains accurate and does not require updates.

**Mermaid diagrams that need updating:** None. The existing diagrams in `.exp/design-workflow-5-lint-development.md` (Scaffolding Sequence and Integration and Execution Sequence) fully represent the process used, with the PR exemplifying a manual variant of scaffolding that fits within the described flexibility ("This design balances automation with flexibility").

Potential benefits: Introduces a new nursery-level lint that detects inefficient and error-prone manual zero-division checks for unsigned integers, suggesting the safer and more idiomatic `checked_div` method. This enhances Clippy's ability to promote safe arithmetic practices.

## Testing Analysis (Workflow 4)

### Summary of design changes
The PR extends the test suite by adding a dedicated UI test directory for `manual_checked_div`, including input code triggering the lint, expected stderr diagnostics, and fixed output for auto-fix verification. These tests integrate seamlessly into the existing UI testing infrastructure:
- During `cargo test`, `compile-test.rs` will configure `ui_test` for the `ui/` category.
- It spawns `clippy-driver` processes on the `.rs` files with appropriate flags.
- Outputs are compared against `.stderr` and `.fixed` (if present), ensuring the new lint emits correct diagnostics and suggestions.

No alterations to the testing sequence, components (e.g., `compile-test.rs`, `ui_test` crate, diagnostic collection), or flows. The design accommodates arbitrary numbers of lint-specific tests without modification.

**Mermaid diagrams that need updating:** None. The UI Tests Sequence Diagram in `.exp/design-workflow-4-testing.md` accurately depicts the process, with the new tests following the standard loop for each test case.

Potential implications: Strengthens validation of the new lint across normal and fix scenarios, helping prevent regressions in future Clippy updates or Rust compiler changes.

## Additional Notes
- **Other Workflows:** While files like `CHANGELOG.md` relate to release-process (Workflow 8) and `clippy_lints/src/` to cargo-clippy (1) and clippy-driver (2), the PR does not alter their designs—only utilizes them (e.g., new lint available in clippy runs, changelog entry for releases).
- No updates to `.exp` design documents or diagrams are necessary, as the PR reinforces existing designs without deviations requiring documentation.
- Validation: Existing Mermaid diagrams in affected design docs were reviewed; syntax is valid (no `mmdc` needed for unchanged diagrams).
