# SIFR-PACKAGE-0703: Sifr-managed Cargo projection manifest pointer drift.

> Sifr-managed Cargo projection manifest pointer drift.

`SIFR-PACKAGE-0703` belongs to the **Package management** diagnostic family. It means: sifr-managed Cargo projection manifest pointer drift.

## Why It Happens

Sifr package or workspace metadata violates the package model. Inspect `sifr.toml`, Cargo metadata, source roots, trust policy, archive contents, package selectors, or projection files as named by the diagnostic.

<Info>
  Use `sifr --explain SIFR-PACKAGE-0703` locally to see the renderer's exact message template and any machine-applicable suggestions for the compiler version you are running.
</Info>

## Erroneous Code

```toml theme={null}
[package]
name = "demo"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2024"

[package.metadata.sifr]
manifest = "../old/sifr.toml"
```

## How To Fix It

Run `sifr repair` to restore the Sifr-managed projection, or edit the managed Cargo metadata so it points at the package's `sifr.toml`.

## Fixed Code

```toml theme={null}
[package]
name = "demo"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2024"

[package.metadata.sifr]
manifest = "sifr.toml"
```
