crt-static as a standalone Cargo feature
Enabling this feature only flips CMake to MultiThreaded; it never enables Rust's own +crt-static target feature. The new CI step has to add RUSTFLAGS=-C target-feature=+crt-static separately in .github/workflows/rust.yml:40-44, so downstream users doing the obvious cargo build --features crt-static still compile Rust against the dynamic MSVC runtime while HiGHS is built against the static one. On Windows MSVC that commonly becomes a runtime-library mismatch at link time, so the feature as added here does not produce a working static-CRT build by itself.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

crt-static when discover bypasses the bundled build
This flag is only consumed inside build() here, but main() still only treats highs_release, libz, and ninja as build-only and it calls discover() before build(). In configurations like --no-default-features --features discover,crt-static (or adding discover on top of defaults), the new feature is silently ignored and callers link whatever CRT their pkg-config HiGHS was built with, even though they explicitly requested a static-CRT build. The other build-only knobs already hard-fail in this situation, so crt-static needs the same protection.

This guard now panics for every discover + crt-static build, but crt-static is also used on non-MSVC targets (for example static Linux/musl builds) where the MSVC runtime mismatch described here does not apply. Because the panic runs before discover()/build(), it also blocks valid discover+build fallback configurations that could still safely build the bundled HiGHS library. Restricting this check to MSVC contexts (or to cases where discovery is actually used) would avoid breaking those legitimate builds.

It's great, just one comment. |

I think using warning would make more sense here. We do not know which runtime configuration users are using, and if the build passes successfully, that should be fine.
