rust-api-test-harness
Use when adding, changing, testing, or debugging Rust HTTP APIs and services, especially when Codex needs black-box integration tests, random-port app startup, real database test isolation, external HTTP mocks, or CI-ready cargo verification for Actix, Axum, Warp, Rocket, or similar Rust web frameworks.

# Rust API Test Harness
Use this skill to make Rust API work test-first, reproducible, and CI-ready.
Prefer black-box tests that exercise the service through HTTP and verify
observable behavior rather than reaching through framework internals.
## Core Workflow
1. Inspect the project first: `Cargo.toml`, workspace layout, existing `src/main.rs`,
`src/lib.rs`, router/startup modules, `tests/`, migrations, Docker Compose,
and CI workflows.
2. Find the application boundary. Extract startup code into a reusable function
if needed so tests can bind a random local port and pass explicit state.
3. Write or update an integration test before changing behavior. Put API tests
