nightly `unused_assignments` false positives for `miette::Diagnostic` fields

[adr1anh]

Starting with rustc 1.92.0-nightly (2300c2a, 2025-10-12), the compiler’s unused_assignments lint now emits warnings in the following snippet which uses miette and thiserror

Code

I tried this code:

#![warn(unused)]

use miette::{Diagnostic, NamedSource, SourceSpan};

#[derive(Debug, thiserror::Error, Diagnostic)]
enum MyError {
    #[error("malformed input")]
    Example {
        #[source_code]
        source_code: NamedSource<String>, // WARNING: value assigned to `source_code` is never read
        #[label]
        span: SourceSpan, // WARNING: value assigned to `span` is never read
    },
}

fn main() {
    let _error = MyError::Example {
        source_code: NamedSource::new("example", "fn main() {}".to_owned()),
        span: SourceSpan::from((0, 5)),
    };
}

I expected to see this happen: The code compiles without any error

Instead, this happened:

warning: value assigned to `source_code` is never read
  --> src/main.rs:10:9
   |
10 |         source_code: NamedSource<String>, // WARNING: value assigned to `source_code` is never read
   |         ^^^^^^^^^^^
   |
   = help: maybe it is overwritten before being read?
note: the lint level is defined here
  --> src/main.rs:1:9
   |
 1 | #![warn(unused)]
   |         ^^^^^^
   = note: `#[warn(unused_assignments)]` implied by `#[warn(unused)]`

warning: value assigned to `span` is never read
  --> src/main.rs:12:9
   |
12 |         span: SourceSpan, // WARNING: value assigned to `span` is never read
   |         ^^^^
   |
   = help: maybe it is overwritten before being read?

warning: `clippy-error` (bin "clippy-error") generated 2 warnings

Are these new warnings intended in #142390 (as I suspect they are)?

[cjgillot]

The assignments in the derived code are indeed unused. But we should not emit lints inside a proc-macro code, so this is a bug.
