Getting "unknown lint: `clippy::elidable_lifetime_names`" using clippy 1.85.1

[corneliusroemer]

Update: Turns out the version annotation was wrong. Here's a PR to fix it: #14654

Summary

I'm getting an "unknown lint" warning for clippy::elidable_lifetime_names despite using rust/clippy version 1.85.1 which is later than the version clippy::elidable_lifetime_names was introduced in: 1.84.0 per https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#/elid)

Interestingly I couldn't find the lint in the stable branch, only on master. Is that why I'm getting the lint? If so, shouldn't the docs distinguish between the version something landed on stable?

Lint Name

unknown lint: clippy::elidable_lifetime_names

Reproducer

I tried this code:

#![allow(
    clippy::elidable_lifetime_names,
)]

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}

I saw this happen:

cargo clippy

Some further wrong versions:

• clippy::mem_replace_option_with_some: should be 1.87 not 1.86
• clippy::manual_dangling_ptr: should be 1.88 not 1.87
• clippy::char_indices_as_byte_indices: should be 1.88 not 1.83
• clippy::manual_abs_diff should be 1.88 not 1.86
• clippy::ignore_without_reason should be 1.88 not 1.85

I found these by letting clippy 1.87 run on a file with all the declared lints (on master), looking for unknown lints and their official vs actual version of introduction.

Some more, checking what's missing down up to 1.82:

• clippy:single_option_map should be 1.87 not 1.86
• clippy::owned_cow should be 1.87 not 1.85
• clippy::manual_contains should be 1.87 not 1.86
• clippy::manual_abs_diff should be 1.87 not 1.86
• clippy::doc_link_code should be 1.87 not 1.86
• clippy::inverted_saturating_sub should be 1.83 not 1.44

#14748 should've updated all of the ones that "should be 1.87".
