src/librustdoc/passes/propagate_stability.rs

//! Propagates stability to child items.
//!
//! The purpose of this pass is to make items whose parents are "more unstable"
//! than the item itself inherit the parent's stability.
//! For example, [`core::error::Error`] is marked as stable since 1.0.0, but the
//! [`core::error`] module is marked as stable since 1.81.0, so we want to show
//! [`core::error::Error`] as stable since 1.81.0 as well.
