Shrinks the prebuilt protoc-gen-buffa* release binaries by ~20% at the cost of ~2x clean release-build time. Only the workspace root profile is set (Cargo ignores per-crate profile sections inside a workspace, and the warning noise outweighs the cargo-install benefit); the guide documents the CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO env-var path for cargo install users, and the CHANGELOG notes that library consumers do not inherit this.

buffa/buffa-build— Cargo only honors[profile.*]from the top-level workspace. The CHANGELOG entry calls this out.cargo install protoc-gen-buffa— the workspace manifest isn't published. Adding per-crate[profile.release]to the plugin manifests was considered but produces a "profiles for the non root package will be ignored" warning on every workspace build. The guide's "Installing the protoc plugins" section now documents theCARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO=true CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_CODEGEN_UNITS=1 cargo install ...form instead.Semver
