Reproduce the reported cargo check --workspace invocation with rustc 1.79.0 and inspect compiler/rustc_query_system/src/dep_graph/serialized.rs at line 192, following the rustc_incremental::persist::load::setup_dep_graph path. Done means the workspace check no longer intermittently panics and emits valid cargo metadata.
