```powershell
cargo fmt
```

**Step 3: Fix Clippy Warnings** (10-15 minutes)
- demos/core/01_triangle_raw.rs: Replace manual div with div_ceil()
- demos/core/05_custom_integration.rs: Use std::mem::size_of_val()
- benches/buffer_benchmarks.rs: Remove or fix casts

**Step 4: Verify** (5 minutes)
```powershell
cargo fmt --check          # Should pass ✓
cargo build --release      # Should pass ✓
cargo test --lib           # Should show 59/59 passing ✓
