### Fixed

- Add `rust-toolchain.toml` pinning the same `nightly-2026-08-20` that #8550
pinned across the 23 CI workflows. Those inputs govern only jobs that use
`dtolnay/rust-toolchain`, so local builds, bisects and any script invoking
cargo directly still resolved to the default toolchain and failed to compile
`perry-runtime`'s `float_algebraic` uses with E0658 while CI stayed green.

Correct the changelog wording.

The phrase "float_algebraic uses with E0658" is unclear. State that perry-runtime uses the unstable float_algebraic feature and that this causes E0658.

Proposed wording 
-  `perry-runtime`'s `float_algebraic` uses with E0658 while CI stayed green.
+  `perry-runtime`'s use of the unstable `float_algebraic` feature failed with
+  E0658 while CI stayed green.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@changelog.d/8561-rust-toolchain-file.md` around lines 3 - 7, Update the
changelog entry describing perry-runtime compilation failures so it explicitly
states that perry-runtime uses the unstable float_algebraic feature and that
this results in E0658, while preserving the surrounding toolchain-pinning
context.

# Pinned to match the `toolchain:` input every CI workflow passes to
# dtolnay/rust-toolchain (#8550). Keep the three in sync: this file,
# those workflows, and `external-tools.json`'s `rust` entry.
#
# Why a dated nightly rather than stable: `.cargo/config.toml` sets
# `[unstable] min-publish-age`, cargo's dependency-resolution soak gate,
# which is nightly-only (rust-lang/cargo#17009). On stable, cargo silently
# ignores it with `warning: ignoring registry.global-min-publish-age
# without -Zmin-publish-age`, so the soak gate is inert.
#
# Why this file has to exist as well as the workflow inputs: those inputs
# only govern jobs that go through the action. Nothing else does — a
# contributor's `cargo build`, a bisect, a hand-built release artifact, or
# any script invoking cargo directly. `perry-runtime` uses the
# `float_algebraic` methods, so without this file those builds fail with
# E0658 while CI stays green.
