Disabling debug assertions globally via rustflags affects all builds, including debug builds. This is a significant change that removes important runtime safety checks. Consider:

1. If this is only needed to work around issues with the Wasmer dependency, it might be better to wait for a fixed Wasmer version or apply targeted workarounds
2. Document specifically which precondition checks are failing and why they're safe to ignore
3. Consider using conditional compilation or feature flags to only disable assertions when necessary
4. Evaluate if there's a more targeted solution (e.g., suppressing specific warnings or using allow attributes on specific code blocks)

Suggested change

	# Disable debug assertions to prevent unsafe precondition check failures
	# from older wasmer versions that don't meet newer Rust safety requirements.
	# These checks are optional and the code works correctly despite triggering them.
	[build]
	rustflags = ["-C", "debug-assertions=no"]
	# NOTE: We intentionally do not disable debug assertions globally here.
	# Older wasmer versions may trigger precondition check failures under newer
	# Rust safety requirements, but turning off debug assertions for all builds
	# removes important runtime safety checks.
	#
	# If you *must* work around such issues locally, prefer setting RUSTFLAGS
	# explicitly for that build (e.g. `RUSTFLAGS="-C debug-assertions=no" cargo build`)
	# or using a more targeted approach (features / conditional compilation) in code.

Otherwise we cannot run cargo check properly from root level.

A possible solution would be to separate the crate in its own workspace. But it's easier to maintain like this for now.

We will eventually migrate away from Wasmer 2.2 and the problem will go away.
