Pull request overview
Follow-up to #21188 that tightens resolution for Rust <Foo as Bar<...>> associated-type paths to address a performance regression observed on mycroft/challenges.
Changes:
- Refines associated-type path handling in the Rust type-inference libraries to be more conservative when resolving
<Type as Trait<...>>::Assoc. - Adds a new regression test (
regression2) exercisingSubimpl selection and associated-type projection through<S1 as Sub<S2>>::Output. - Updates type-inference test expectations to reflect the new (more conservative) resolution behavior and removes a previous consistency expectation.

Makes sense given that this fixes timeouts. Thanks!
