This fix feels more like a human rights violation. I'll see how to streamline the checks that have to be done and do it in a more idiomatic Rust way.

the new "mut" aren't a good sign indeed ;)

src/uu/cp/src/cp.rs

    source: &Path,
    dest: &Path,
    attributes: &Attributes,
+    is_dest_created: bool,


in copydirs, you still have a call to this function with 3 parameters

sylvestre · 2026-01-13T07:00:46Z

src/uu/cp/src/cp.rs

+            let perms = source_metadata.permissions();
+            #[cfg(unix)]
+            {
+                let mut perms = source_metadata.permissions();


you are replacing the previous let perms immediately
please refactor to avoid this
thanks
