 ### Bug Fixes
 
 * **LSP diagnostic fixes**: the gutter marker, `F8` target, hover, and panel now shift with inserted/deleted lines instead of freezing at the pre-edit position until the next save (#2602); and dismissing a hover popup no longer drops an unrelated error from the status bar, gutter, and `F8` navigation (#2601).
+* **Rust LSP Reduced Memory mode**: hover and Go to Definition no longer silently fail on macro names and inside macro arguments (e.g. a call inside `println!(...)`/`format!(...)`); the mode was disabling proc-macro expansion, which rust-analyzer also uses to resolve identifiers inside macro invocations. Proc-macro expansion now stays on in Reduced mode (#2598).
 * **LSP Rename keeps focus** - a cross-file F2 rename no longer jumps you to the definition's file at a stale cursor position (#2599).
 * **LSP now pulls diagnostics from every server** configured for a language, not just the first - e.g. both `ruff` and `ty` for Python now stay live (#2615, reported by @ak24watch).
 * **Format Buffer respects the selection** - with an active selection and a server that supports range formatting, only the selected range is formatted instead of silently reformatting the whole file (#2605).

 ### Rust LSP Mode Switching
 
-Use "Switch Rust Analyzer Mode" from the command palette to toggle between Full and Reduced Memory modes for rust-analyzer.
+Use **Rust LSP: Configure Mode** from the command palette to toggle between Full and Reduced Memory modes for rust-analyzer.
+
+**Reduced Memory** mode restarts rust-analyzer with `checkOnSave`, `cachePriming`, and `cargo.buildScripts` disabled, plus 50% RAM / 90% CPU process limits. Proc-macro expansion stays enabled so hover and Go to Definition keep working on macro names and on symbols inside macro arguments (e.g. a call inside `println!(...)`); disabling it silently breaks that navigation. **Full** mode restores rust-analyzer's defaults with no process limits.
