It's 2026 and the command handler was entirely manual!
We introduce a basic command handler framework for the REPL that handles
all the previous (implicit) features reasonably well.
This also builds up the infrastructure for nicer features.
Most important feature is that now we can let external plugins adds
commands to the REPL.
There's slight REPL changes:
- errors for debugger commands are more explicit.
- short-hand have a long-hand version.
- help shows command sorted by std::map natural key sorting (based on aliases)
while keeping the special syntaxes for the REPL language at the top.
- sections were introduced for Flakes commands.
- :st was merged into one command with an optional argument marker.

Status quo: We have `force$Type` and `eval$Type`, both which first
produce a value and then do a type check. The type checking logic is not
consistently implemented, with lots of code duplication.
This change does:
- Introduce new `check*` functions which unify the logic (the error
handling unfortunately still needs some duplication for now)
- Make both `force*` and `eval*` use the `check*` function for the
actual type checking
- Inline and dismantle the `eval*` functions for being of little use and
little used. This makes the `ExprOp*::eval` implementations for binary
logic operators more verbose, but IMO that's a good thing: The
implementation now needs to be a lot more explicit about the
short-circuiting semantics, something which was previously hidden behind
the short-circuiting semantics of the C++ language, in a way that could
easily be overlooked and lead to confusion, which is something that
happened to me twice in a year.
- Changes `forceAttrs` and `forceList` to include the context in case
`forceValue` fails (compared to only when the type check fails). This
was done for code consistency, because I could not find any reason why
list and attrs had different semantics here than int, float and bool. So
far the visible change is minimal (see the diff on the err.exp), however
this needs vetting for potential performance regressions.

That struct has been annoying me since I've encountered it. There is no
reason for having to track all these symbols out of band in the state.

The names were prefixed with `sym_` to allow faithfully representing
names that start with __. (Previously the underscores were omitted, at
the cost of readability for people less familiar with the intricate
details of Nix. Is `toString` literally `toString` or is it
`__toString`? etc.) As a bonus, this allows to easily grep for any
symbol through the entire code base to find where it is used. I've done
exactly that and grouped and annotated the symbols based on their usage.

I was pretty confused by this when I saw it, not realizing that `build`
meant `tests/functional2/build` and not the top-level Meson `build`
directory.

This logic is used in the various build-related REPL commands and is
factored out to make it easier to write the handlers for each
build-related REPL commands.

cl/4796 introduced a bug where running `just test-functional2` would
hang forever on macOS but `meson test -C build --suite installcheck
functional2` would succeed because of a mismatch between the
`$BUILD_TEST_SHELL` environment variable and the `-Dbuild-test-shell`
build option set in `mesonFlags`.
We can move these definitions to `finalAttrs.buildTestShell` and similar
and use those values in _both_ `mesonFlags` and `env` in order to make
them consistent in all cases.

...and add both a static bash and busybox into the sandbox for building:
$ /nix/store/fz43jxs5qfg5vldzk38y2hmrcl58qk18-busybox-1.36.1/bin/sh -c 'declare -A foo'
/nix/store/fz43jxs5qfg5vldzk38y2hmrcl58qk18-busybox-1.36.1/bin/sh: declare: not found
The reason is that busybox's `sh` doesn't know about `declare` which
means it cannot build derivations with `__structuredAttrs = true;`.

Nearly each tests gets a fresh store (in the test root residing under TMPDIR),
which with default settings means 8 MiB of reserved space to be deleted by the
user in case of space shortages, which of course for a test suite is just
wasted. Stop doing that to considerably reduce the litter (experimentally, from
3.7 GiB to 67 MiB per run). The old functional test suite already did the same.

this is only needed on macos, and only for tests that build anything. on
linux it can actually *break* stuff due to unfortunate interactions with
store url parsing, which is required to work for any remote build tests.

This avoids any complications that can arise from the environment
affecting evaluation of the help pages (which don't need to be calling
out to anything external anyways)
I don't think this is actively causing problems now - though it did in
Nix! - so this is largely preventative, but I don't really see a reason
why this was ever running in impure mode in the first place either

- test_check used an old version of an error message
- test_good2 did not build an unspecified dependency
- test_attribute_selection used a fixed drv path. we
can't keep this with the current setup because the
drv `system` makes the drv hash platform-dependent

the cgroups experimental feature does not work properly without this
because we do not stop subdaemons when the main daemon is shut down.
systemd needs the assigned cgroups to be empty to restart the daemon
and thus cannot cleanly restart the daemon if any connections exist.
starting a fresh unit for each connection creates a new cgroup every
time instead of sharing any delegations and thus solves the problem.

A friend reported that this is rebuilding, which doesn't make any sense
because nixpkgs also has a lix from nightly that surely has the same
dependency and thus it surely should be built on hydra, right?
Turns out no, since they were overriding the requiredSystemFeatures to
remove big-parallel. Silly, but we can match that and get cache hits.

This bump nixpkgs input to 25.11 and fix the two warnings that were
coming with the update:
1. `pkgs.system` => `pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system`
2. `runCommandNoCC` => `runCommand`
also:
1. remove cppnix 2.3 compat tests (cppnix 2.3 is officially dead now)
2. remove lowdown 1.3 compat tests (nixpkgs no longer carries it)

This will probably get the implementation of the fixtures revised when
we land the new extraction code, but we are setting it up to be generic
against that.
The operator-> thing is kind of a crime. But it also makes the code
vastly more readable so it's impossible to say if it's bad or not.
