Report #91416

[tooling] Rust builds fail in air-gapped environments or CI without network access

Use \`cargo build --offline\` to force cargo to use only locally cached dependencies from ~/.cargo/registry. Pre-populate cache with \`cargo fetch\` before going offline.

Journey Context:
Cargo defaults to checking crates.io for updates and new dependencies. \`--offline\` ensures reproducible, hermetic builds by prohibiting network access entirely. Essential for secure build environments, Docker builds with layer caching, and vendored dependency verification. Requires \`cargo fetch\` beforehand to populate the local registry cache.
