`builtins.storePath` allows you to use "external" knowledge of present
store paths in your store to be used in your expressions.
This is sometimes used to avoid double wrapping store paths, for example
when dealing with nixpkgs sources (`builtins.storePath pkgs.path` is a
frequent pattern).
Unfortunately, using your external knowledge of present store paths is
technically impure because Flakes is about not depending on the *STATE*
of your store, no matter what you know about it or what you do to ensure
that your knowledge is accurate.
That being said, `builtins.storePath` is already possible in the
fragment of "pure Nixlang" via a clever use of `builtins.appendContext`.
Precisely:
```
storePath = path:
let path' = builtins.unsafeDiscardStringContext path;
in
# NOTE: merging the context set in all generality is impossible
because getContext on a pure path doesn't work.
builtins.appendContext path' { ${path'} = { path = true; }; };
```
works in pure contexts.
Because of this, we deem that storePath should be allowed in pure
contexts and users do not have to come up with a `storePath` polyfill.

nix3 CLI never honored that setting.
When we update a nix3 profile element with new built store paths for
which we know the deriver (the derivation path which built it), we add
the derivation paths to the profile element to prevent garbage
collection the same way the nix2 CLI logic does.
Fixes#1095.

Instead of showing untrusted configuration items one by one, collect all
of them into one batched ask with 4 options:
- apply the configuration wholesale **for now** (yes)
- apply the configuration wholesale and trust it permanently (allow
permanently)
- selectively choose subset (no)
- rejecting the configuration wholesale (no to all)
Note that we do not offer options to reject permanently a configuration,
that's what `--no-accept-flake-config` is for.
Individual prompts gain a new option to distinguish "yes for now" and
"yes forever".

In messages printed by the evaluator, we use showType(.) to say things
like "expected X, got Y" where X, Y can be string, string with context,
etc.
After changes in the Lix data model (pointer tagging and friends), paths
got squished inside a internal string type.
We missed updating `showType` to take this fact into account which
caused an unfortunate:
`error: expected a string but found a string with context:
/nix/store/wjf8rdpp63rhyasbzc7zfms1agf7pwyd-source`
while using a path on `builtins.getContext`
A test is added.

This partitions a string into two parts based on the first occurrence of
the separator.
This function handles the case when the separator never occur in the
target string by returning an optional<T> in the second argument of the

When `max-jobs = 0`, our async semaphores have null capacity and
therefore no slot token can be acquired.
In addition, a derivation with `preferLocalBuild = true` with `max-jobs
= 0` which is not a built-in derivation is not considered suitable for
being possible to build.
Our documentation in `max-jobs` writes:
> `0` is useful when using remote builders to prevent any local builds
(except for preferLocalBuild derivation attribute which executes locally
regardless).
A valid interpretation is that `preferLocalBuild` derivations (all of
them) will always execute even if `max-jobs = 0`.
This CL achieves this promise by enabling `preferLocalBuild = true`
derivations to draw in priority capacity from a `preferLocalBuild`-only
pool and then fall back to the build pool (`maxBuildJobs`).
If there's non-zero max-jobs, we make the `preferLocalBuild`-only pool
empty.
If there's zero max-jobs, we make the `preferLocalBuild`-only pool
non-empty (capacity: 1).
Remark 1: if `max-jobs = 0`, no non-`preferLocalBuild = true`
derivations can be built without a remote builder and `preferLocalBuild
= true` derivations can be built one at a time if `extra-local-jobs` is
not overridden.
Remark 2: if `max-jobs != 0`, no `preferLocalBuild = true` derivations
can bypass capacity limits, i.e. `max-jobs` unless `extra-local-jobs` is
overridden.
Fixes#855.

When ref/rev are very similar looking, e.g. a revision SHA1, the logic
to reconstruct whether we had a ref or rev initially cannot work.
This regression was introduced by
I2c72d5a32e406a7ca308e271730bd0af01c5d18b which passed the information
as an attribute field called `refOrRev`, instead, we pass `ref` or `rev`
but not `refOrRev`.
We apply the same post-processing logic to distinguish rev/ref in
path-style flake references: `github:owner/repo/$refOrRev`.

In structured attrs derivations, __json is used to serialize the `env`
attribute into a JSON object.
If the derivation enables structured attributes AND specify its own
`__json`, one of the field will take precedence (the reader can have fun
by guessing which one).
To reduce underspecification, we disallow `__json` in structured
attributes derivations.

`nix.full_path()` is the *built* path, not the *installed* path. in the
sandbox this point to a location that contains *only* `nix`, not any of
the old-cli symlinks. any test that needs them in path would thus fail.

Without the `--git-dir` git will attempt to figure out which the git directory is on its own.
This causes issues when the `GIT_DIR` envvar is set in the environment for other reasons (such as being part of a `git rebase`).
Providing this parameter overrides the environment and thus makes sure the revs are always coming from the intended repository.
