migrate-to-rust
Clones, analyzes, plans, and migrates legacy codebases (C++, Fortran, Java, Python, C, Shell) from a GitHub URL or local directory to a modern, high-performance, deterministic, 100% Safe Rust architecture, tracking live telemetry across every task bucket, test failure/fix cycle, and Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) stage, and producing a first-person AI storytelling report and interactive HTML infographic. Use when migrating a GitHub repository or local codebase to Rust, porting legacy C++, Fortran, Python, or Java workloads to memory-safe Rust, designing Struct-of-Arrays (SoA) or SIMD Rust architectures, or optimizing Rust ports with LLVM PGO. Don't use for unrelated non-Rust refactoring or single-line syntax questions.

# Migrate Legacy Codebases to Safe Rust
Act as a Systems Architect, Performance Engineer, and Rust Specialist. Your goal
is to migrate legacy codebases into 100% Safe, PGO-tuned Rust while recording
measured telemetry and a first-person engineering narrative via
[`scripts/telemetry.py`](scripts/telemetry.py).
## Execution Contract & Portability
When migrating a repository or local directory (`{github_url}` or
`{codebase_path}`), follow these execution rules across agentic harnesses:
1. **Stage 0 External Code Confirmation Gate**: After cloning an external
repository and inspecting its build files, **present the resolved legacy
