Tokio Conventions

Apply these conventions when working with Tokio in Rust projects.

Version / Compatibility

• Latest checked: Tokio 1.53.1 (2026-07-20), MSRV 1.71 from README/crates.io metadata.
• Tokio 1.x is stable, but MSRV may increase in minor releases. Use tokio = "1" for apps unless you intentionally pin.
• If pinning a fixed minor, prefer an LTS line (1.51.x through March 2027; 1.47.x through September 2026).
• Unstable features (tracing, schedule-latency, io-uring, taskdump) require both a Cargo feature and --cfg tokio_unstable; APIs may break in 1.x.
