Start by reviewing the unchecked entries in the tracking checklist, especially rustc_codegen_cranelift, ci-tool, rustc-perf, and Docs, along with their linked pull requests and issues. Confirm which items remain actionable and whether the listed projects need synchronization. Done means the remaining checklist work is addressed and the windows-targets dependency removal is complete across the tracked components.
