Detect lifetime bugs and teach lifetime best practices in Rust. Covers why lifetimes exist (preventing dangling references), the three lifetime elision rules, lifetime annotations on functions/structs/methods, 'static and its overuse as a silence-fix, generic lifetime parameters, lifetime bounds (T: 'a, T: 'static), and self-referential structs. Trigger keywords: lifetime, 'a, 'static, elision, E0106, E0309, E0310, E0515, E0597, dangling reference, borrowed value does not live long enough, does not live long enough, cannot return reference, missing lifetime specifier, may not live long enough, reference has a longer lifetime, outlives, borrow checker. Auto-triggers when: any lifetime-related compile error appears (E0106/E0309/E0310/E0515/E0597), a developer adds a 'static bound to make a borrow-checker error disappear, a struct definition holds a reference field, or a function returns a reference tied to input parameters.
