💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In Rust, the interaction between closure captures, mutable references, and FnOnce traits involves how the closure environment manages its captured variables [1][2]. When a closure captures a mutable reference (&amp;mut T), it typically does so by storing that reference in its environment [1]. Because &amp;mut T types are not Copy, the closure consumes or borrows the reference based on the closure&#39;s capture mode [1][2]. Regarding reborrowing and FnOnce: 1. Capture Behavior: If a closure needs to modify the referent of a captured mutable reference, it often performs a reborrow [1]. This allows the closure to use the existing mutable reference to access the underlying data [1]. 2. FnOnce Constraint: A closure that implements FnOnce is designed to be called only once [1]. When a closure is invoked via FnOnce, it consumes its environment—meaning it takes ownership of its captured variables [1]. 3. Interaction: If a closure captures a mutable reference and is then invoked as FnOnce, the closure moves (or consumes) that &amp;mut T reference out of its environment [1][2]. Since the closure is consumed upon the call, any reborrowing logic that was tied to the closure&#39;s state is finalized by the execution of the closure [1]. In essence, reborrowing from a captured &amp;mut T allows the closure to perform mutations safely while it exists. When you call an FnOnce closure, you are effectively giving the closure permission to consume its captured state, including any mutable references held within it [1]. If the captured variable was itself a mutable reference, that reference is moved into the FnOnce body and invalidated for further use in the parent scope, consistent with Rust&#39;s ownership and move semantics [1][2].
</search_synthesis>

<source_evidence>

<title>Closure types - The Rust Reference</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/types/closure.html A closure expression produces a closure value with a unique, anonymous type that cannot be written out. A closure type is approximately equivalent to a struct which contains the captured values. For instance, the following closure: ... fn f<F : FnOnce() -> String> (g: F) { println!("{}", g()); } ... impl<&`#39`;a> FnOnce<()> for Closure<&`#39`;a> { type Output = String; extern "rust-call" fn call_once(self, args: ()) -> String { self.left_top.x += 1; *self.right_bottom_x += 1; format!("{:?}", self.left_top) } } ... A capture mode determines how a place expression from the environment is borrowed or moved into the closure. The capture modes are: ... 1. Immutable borrow (`ImmBorrow`) — The place expression is captured as a shared reference. 2. Unique immutable borrow (`UniqueImmBorrow`) — This is similar to an immutable borrow, but must be unique as described below. 3. Mutable borrow (`MutBorrow`) — The place expression is captured as a mutable reference. 4. Move (`ByValue`) — The place expression is captured by moving the value into the closure. ... which may be truncated based on ... Because it is not allowed to move fields out of a reference, `move` closures will only capture the prefix of a capture path that runs up to, but not including, the first dereference of a reference. The reference itself will be moved into the closure. ... Captures can occur by a special kind of borrow called a unique immutable borrow, which cannot be used anywhere else in the language and cannot be written out explicitly. It occurs when modifying the referent of a mutable reference, as in the following example: ... In this case, borrowing `x` mutably is not possible, because `x` is not `mut`. But at the same time, borrowing `x` immutably would make the assignment illegal, because a `& &mut` reference might not be unique, so it cannot safely be used to modify a value. So a unique immutable borrow is used: it borrows `x` immutably, but like a mutable borrow, it must be unique. ... Closure types all implement `FnOnce`, indicating that they can be called once by consuming ownership of the closure. Additionally, some closures implement more specific call traits: ... - A closure which does not move out of any captured variables implements `FnMut`, indicating that it can be called by mutable reference. ... - A closure which does not mutate or move out of any captured variables implements `Fn`, indicating that it can be called by shared reference. ... > Note > > `move` closures may still implement ` ... ` or `FnMut`, even though they capture variables by move. This is because the traits implemented by a closure type are determined by what the closure does with captured values, not how it captures them. ... Non-capturing closures are closures that don’t capture anything from their environment. Non-async, non-capturing closures can be coerced to function pointers (e.g., `fn()`) with the matching signature ... Async closures have a further restriction of whether or not they implement `FnMut` or `Fn`. ... The `Future` returned by the async closure has similar capturing characteristics as a closure. It captures place expressions from the async closure based on how they are used. The async closure is said to be lending to its `Future` if it has either of the following properties: ... includes a mutable capture. ... closure captures by value ... when the value is accessed with a dereference projection. ... If the async closure is lending to its `Future`, then `FnMut` and `Fn` are not implemented. `FnOnce` is always implemented. ... > Example: The first clause for a mutable capture can be illustrated with the following: > > ```rust > #![allow(unused)] > fn main() { > fn takes_callback (c: impl FnMut() -> Fut) {} > > fn f() { > let mut x = 1i32; > let c = async || { > x = 2; // x captured with MutBorrow > }; > takes_callback(c); // ERROR: a…[truncated] <title>Closure expressions - The Rust Reference</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions/closure-expr.html Closure expressions - The Rust Reference # Closure expressions [expr .closure .syntax] Syntax ClosureExpression → async? ​ 1 move? ( || | | ClosureParameters? | ) ( Expression | -> TypeNoBounds BlockExpression ) ClosureParameters → ClosureParam ( , ClosureParam ) * ,? ClosureParam → OuterAttribute * PatternNoTopAlt ( : Type )? Show Railroad [expr .closure .intro] A closure expression, also known as a lambda expression or a lambda, defines a closure type and evaluates to a value of that type. The syntax for a closure expression is an optional `async` keyword, an optional `move` keyword, then a pipe-symbol-delimited (`|`) comma-separated list of patterns, called the closure parameters each optionally followed by a `:` and a type, then an optional `->` and type, called the return type, and then an expression, called the closure body operand. .closure .param-type] The optional type after each pattern is a type annotation for the pattern. .closure .explicit-type-body] If there is a return type, the closure body must be a block. .closure .parameter-restriction] A closure expression denotes a function that maps a list of parameters onto the expression that follows the parameters. Just like a `let` binding, the closure parameters are irrefutable patterns, whose type annotation is optional and will be inferred from context if not given. .closure .unique-type] Each closure expression has a unique, anonymous type. .closure .captures] Significantly, closure expressions capture their environment, which regular function definitions do not. .closure .capture-inference] Without the `move` keyword, the closure expression infers how it captures each variable from its environment, preferring to capture by shared reference, effectively borrowing all outer variables mentioned inside the closure’s body. .closure .capture-mut-ref] If needed the compiler will infer that instead mutable references should be taken, or that the values should be moved or copied (depending on their type) from the environment. .closure .capture-move] A closure can be forced to capture its environment by copying or moving values by prefixing it with the `move` keyword. This is often used to ensure that the closure’s lifetime is `&`#39`;static`. .closure .trait-impl] ## Closure trait implementations Which traits the closure type implements depends on how variables are captured, the types of the captured variables, and the presence of `async`. See the call traits and coercions chapter for how and when a closure implements `Fn`, `FnMut`, and `FnOnce`. The closure type implements `Send` and `Sync` if the type of every captured variable also implements the trait. .closure ## Async closures .closure .async .intro] Closures marked with the `async` keyword indicate that they are asynchronous in an analogous way to an async function. .closure .async .future] Calling the async closure does not perform any work, but instead evaluates to a value that implements `Future` that corresponds to the computation of the body of the closure. ```rust #![allow(unused)] fn main() { async fn takes_async_callback(f: impl AsyncFn(u64)) { f(0).await; f(1).await; } async fn example() { takes_async_callback(async |i| { core::future::ready(i).await; println!("done with {i}."); }).await; } } ``` .closure .edition2018] > 2018 Edition differences > > Async closures are only available beginning with Rust 2018. ## Example In this example, we define a function `ten_times` that takes a higher-order function argument, and we then call it with a closure expression as an argument, followed by a closure expression that moves values from its environment. ```rust #![allow(unused)] fn main() { fn ten_times<F>(f: F) where F: Fn(i32) { for index in 0..10 { f(index); } } ten_times(|j| println!("hello, {}", j)); // With type annotations ten_times(|j: i32| -> () { println!("hello, {}", j) }); let word = "konnichiwa".to_owned(); ten_times(move |j| pri…[truncated] <title>Pointer types - The Rust Reference</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/types/pointer.html Pointer types - The Rust Reference # Pointer types .intro] All pointers are explicit first-class values. They can be moved or copied, stored into data structs, and returned from functions. ## References (`&` and `&mut`) .reference .syntax] Syntax ReferenceType → & Lifetime? mut? TypeNoBounds Show Railroad .reference ### Shared references (`&`) .reference .shared .intro] Shared references point to memory which is owned by some other value. .reference .shared .constraint-mutation] When a shared reference to a value is created, it prevents direct mutation of the value. Interior mutability provides an exception for this in certain circumstances. As the name suggests, any number of shared references to a value may exist. A shared reference type is written `&type`, or `&&`#39`;a type` when you need to specify an explicit lifetime. .reference .shared Copying a reference is a “shallow” operation: it involves only copying the pointer itself, that is, pointers are `Copy`. Releasing a reference has no effect on the value it points to, but referencing of a temporary value will keep it alive during the scope of the reference itself. ### Mutable references (`&mut`) .mut Mutable references point to memory which is owned by some other value. A mutable reference type is written `&mut type` or `&&`#39`;a mut type`. .mut A mutable reference (that hasn’t been borrowed) is the only way to access the value it points to, so is not `Copy`. ## Raw pointers (`*const` and `*mut`) .raw .syntax] Syntax RawPointerType → * ( mut | const ) TypeNoBounds Show Railroad .raw .intro] Raw pointers are pointers without safety or liveness guarantees. Raw pointers are written as `*const T` or `*mut T`. For example `*const i32` means a raw pointer to a 32-bit integer. .raw .copy] Copying or dropping a raw pointer has no effect on the lifecycle of any other value. .raw .safety] Dereferencing a raw pointer is an `unsafe` operation. This can also be used to convert a raw pointer to a reference by reborrowing it (`&*` or `&mut *`). Raw pointers are generally discouraged; they exist to support interoperability with foreign code, and writing performance-critical or low-level functions. .raw When comparing raw pointers they are compared by their address, rather than by what they point to. When comparing raw pointers to dynamically sized types they also have their additional data compared. .raw Raw pointers can be created directly using `&raw const` for `*const` pointers and `&raw mut` for `*mut` pointers. ## Smart pointers The standard library contains additional ‘smart pointer’ types beyond references and raw pointers. ## Bit validity .validity Despite pointers and references being similar to `usize` s in the machine code emitted on most platforms, the semantics of transmuting a reference or pointer type to a non-pointer type is currently undecided. Thus, it may not be valid to transmute a pointer or reference type, `P`, to a `[u8; size_of:: ()]`. .validity For thin raw pointers (i.e., for `P = *const T` or `P = *mut T` for `T: Sized`), the inverse direction (transmuting from an integer or array of integers to `P`) is always valid. However, the pointer produced via such a transmutation may not be dereferenced (not even if `T` has size zero). <title>Type coercions - The Rust Reference</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/type-coercions.html .mut-reborrow] ... - `&mut T` to `&T` ... -to-pointer ... .closure] ... - Non capturing closures to `fn` pointers ... // For closure with multiple return statements let clo = || { if true { a } else if false { b } else { c } }; ... let baz = clo <title>Expressions - The Rust Reference</title> https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions.html ExpressionWithoutBlockNoAttrs → LiteralExpression | PathExpression | OperatorExpression | GroupedExpression | ArrayExpression | AwaitExpression | IndexExpression | TupleExpression | TupleIndexingExpression | StructExpression | CallExpression | MethodCallExpression | FieldExpression | ClosureExpression | AsyncBlockExpression | ContinueExpression | BreakExpression | RangeExpression | ReturnExpression | UnderscoreExpression | MacroInvocation ... | Operator/Expression | Associativity | | --- | --- | | Paths | | | Method calls | | | Field expressions | left to right | | Function calls, array indexing | | | `?` | | | Unary `-` `!` `*` borrow | | | `as` | left to right | | `*` `/` `%` | left to right | | `+` `-` | left to right | | `<<` `>>` | left to right | | `&` | left to right | | `^` | left to right | | `|` | left to right | | `==` `!=` `<` `>` `<=` `>=` | Require parentheses | | `&&` | left to right | | `||` | left to right | | `..` `..=` | Require parentheses | | `=` `+=` `-=` `*=` `/=` `%=` `&=` `|=` `^=` `<<=` `>>=` | right to left | | `return` `break` closures | | ... - The left operand of a compound assignment expression. - The operand of a unary borrow, raw borrow or dereference operator. - The operand of a field expression. - The indexed operand of an array indexing expression. - The tuple operand of a tuple indexing expression. - The operand of any implicit borrow. - The initializer of a let statement. - The scrutinee of an `if let`, `match`, or `while let` expression. - The base of a functional update struct expression. ...

In contrast, other place expressions are called immutable place expressions. ... The following expressions can be mutable place expression contexts: ... - Mutable variables which are not currently borrowed. - Mutable `static` items. - Temporary values. - Fields: this evaluates the subexpression in a mutable place expression context. - Dereferences of a `*mut T` pointer. - Dereference of a variable, or field of a variable, with type `&mut T`. Note: This is an exception to the requirement of the next rule. - Dereferences of a type that implements `DerefMut`: this then requires that the value being dereferenced is evaluated in a mutable place expression context. - Array indexing of a type that implements `IndexMut`: this then evaluates the value being indexed, but not the index, in mutable place expression context. ... Certain expressions will treat an expression as a place expression by implicitly borrowing it. For example, it is possible to compare two unsized slices for equality directly, because the `==` operator implicitly borrows its operands: ... Implicit borrows may be taken in the following expressions: ... - Left operand in method-call expressions. - Left operand in field expressions. - Left operand in call expressions. - Left operand in array indexing expressions. - Operand of the dereference operator (`*`). - Operands of comparison. - Left operands of the compound assignment. - Arguments to `format_args!` except the format string.

Do not create a second mutable reference to DEMO.

ui_button_variant invokes each callback synchronously. Each callback therefore creates a second mutable reference to DEMO while on_frame still holds and later uses demo: &mut Demo. This can cause undefined behavior.

Use an explicit reborrow so each callback uses the existing reference without moving it:

     ui_button(BTN_NEW_UUID, 20.0, 198.0, 110.0, 28.0, "New UUID", || {
-        let demo = unsafe { (*core::ptr::addr_of_mut!(DEMO)).as_mut().unwrap() };
-        refresh_uuid(demo);
+        refresh_uuid(&mut *demo);
     });
...
         "New Random",
         || {
-            let demo = unsafe { (*core::ptr::addr_of_mut!(DEMO)).as_mut().unwrap() };
-            refresh_random(demo);
+            refresh_random(&mut *demo);
         },

Return a failure status for guest-memory errors.

read_guest_bytes rejects invalid ranges, but api_hash_sha512 and api_hmac_sha256 replace read errors with empty input and ignore write errors. They then return 64 or 32, so an invalid guest call can report success without writing a digest or tag. Return 0 when any read or write fails, and handle that status in the SDK wrappers. Do not add out_cap: the SDK already provides fixed [u8; 64] and [u8; 32] output buffers.

In `@oxide-browser/src/capabilities.rs` around lines 2501 - 2504, Update
api_hash_sha512 and api_hmac_sha256 to return 0 whenever guest-memory reads or
writes fail, instead of defaulting read failures to empty input or ignoring
write errors; return the digest/tag length only after successful I/O. Update the
corresponding SDK wrappers to interpret status 0 as failure while retaining
their existing fixed [u8; 64] and [u8; 32] output buffers, without adding
out_cap.

Limit api_compress before copying guest data

api_compress reads data_len before validating format, and data_len can span the full 256 MiB guest-memory limit. It then allocates and fills another host buffer synchronously. Validate format and reject oversized input before read_guest_bytes; enforce a smaller host-side input and compression budget to prevent repeated calls from blocking browser execution or exhausting shared resources.
