Some of it I was able to verify immediately, some I confirmed by poking around in Github repos once I knew the magic words, some I haven't verified yet.
For example, I wasn't sure if there was good support for USB devices in Rust. Just not something I'd ever bothered to investigate. Claude knew that there was a libusb wrapper and a "rusb" crate, and claimed that support for USB in Rust was stable. I verified the existence of the crates, and I'll take Claude at its word for stability unless I discover otherwise.
