https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/process/struct.ExitCode.html#impl-PartialEq-for-ExitCode
Summary
The docs claim ExitCode has had PartialEq since 1.61.0:
This is not true, that impl was only added in 1.83.0 (see https://releases.rs/docs/1.83.0/).
This means the versions listed by rustdoc are currently buggy and unreliable if you wish to determine what feature you can depend upon wrt MSRV.

Research direction
Start with the ExitCode documentation at the linked std URL and compare its PartialEq version marker with the 1.83.0 release entry at releases.rs. Correct the version metadata so the generated docs report 1.83.0, then verify the rendered API documentation no longer says 1.61.0.
