Description
Describe the change
After freedomofpress/securedrop-client#1718, a full Rust toolchain is a prerequisite for running the SecureDrop Client via its ./run.sh, even if you don't intend to do any work on securedrop-proxy.
How will this impact users?
Developers working on the SecureDrop Client MUST have a full Rust toolchain installed.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the SecureDrop Client developer setup documentation and the ./run.sh entry point, using securedrop-client#1718 for context. Update the documented prerequisites to state that a full Rust toolchain is required even without securedrop-proxy work, then verify the setup instructions reflect that requirement.
