 **Configure Toolchain**
+
+This repo pins the required Rust toolchain in `rust-toolchain.toml`
+(`nightly-2022-11-02`). `rustup` installs and selects it automatically on the
+first `cargo` invocation — no manual `rustup default` needed.
+
+The pin is required: `tinydancer` uses nightly-only feature gates
+(`async_closure`, `mutex_unlock`) that newer nightlies have removed, so a current
+toolchain will not compile it.
+
+**Linux system dependencies** (Ubuntu/Debian)
 ```
-rustup default nightly
+sudo apt-get install -y build-essential pkg-config libssl-dev libudev-dev \
+  zlib1g-dev llvm clang cmake make libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
