Research direction

Start by locating where the Rust crate paste is declared and used, then read its README and compare the listed alternatives, pastey and with_builtin_macros. Determine which replacement preserves the current behavior and verify the SDK's Rust tests and builds; done means the unmaintained dependency is no longer required without regressions.
