Some source trees might not be representable inside of the NAR listing
format v1 as file paths (on Linux) are not guaranteed to be valid UTF-8.
When something like this happens on a large-scale build farm, a
mysterious "queued" but impossible to process job appears, this is
because we cannot write the NAR listing and serialization always fails.
Why did this work before? nlohmann was introduced _after_ such paths
were ingested, see: 09f00dd4d0.
What happened for such previously mis-serialized NAR listings?

or custom CLI flags are not included in this commit.

Previously, paths not being deleted by gcDeleteSpecific would result in
(a) hardlinks not being cleaned up, and
(b) statistics not being reported correctly.
By throwing the error later, we fix both of these problems.

Remote binary caches support `write-nar-listing` options where they create a `HASH.ls` file for quick indexing without having to download the nar.
This commit makes experimental `nix store ls` attempt to read these files instead of downloading the full nar.
The difference is very obvious with large packages like stellarium:
nix store ls --store "https://cache.nixos.org" /nix/store/ijpvwgs9zamqaax5dy2cd0kxgz7lr7an-stellarium-25.1 -R

The first auto-GC request would not be registered as a waiter due to a logic
error. As a result, if that request was synchronous (as happens during
evaluation) it would be stuck forever waiting on a promise that will never be
fulfilled.
Register also the first request properly so that it is notified and unblocked
again when the GC has finished. Also add a test verifying that auto-GC
triggering during evaluation will not get stuck.

The experimental `nix eval` command already supports a `--raw` flag.
This commit implements the same flag for the stable nix-instantiate command.
Until now instructions and scripts that didn't want to rely on experimental
features had to use workarounds such as:
nix-instantiate --eval <something> | tr -d \"
(which also undesirably also removes double quotation marks within the string), or
nix-instantiate --eval <something> | jq -j
(which undesirably depends on another package).

`fetchGit` has been modified a long time ago to use fetchTree, however,
we don't care about `lastModified` because we are not in a flake
context, this hack introduces a `git-locked` type of input that only
cares about `narHash` being present. This is needed to avoid fetching
the remote repo each time `fetchGit` is evaluated whith the result
present in the store.

When assigning an a value to NIX_GET_COMPLETIONS that could not be
parsed as an integer lix would just crash, as the value was directly
passed to stoi, without handling the return value.
This change switches the parsing to use string2Int and throws an
exception if the return value is empty.
The behaviour of lix is slightly changed through, as the value of the
variable was previously parsed to an int and then assigned to a variable
of size_t.
This change in behaviour can only be observed in cases where the
value of NIX_GET_COMPLETIONS is chosen so when it overflows it would
be valid index of the provided arguments again.
Through this change the variable is parsed as a size_t and negative
values are rejected.

When using completion, the number of the word for which the shell
requests completion is provided in the environment variable
`NIX_GET_COMPLETIONS`. When the number smaller than 1 is or larger
than the number of arguments nix coredumps as a assert is violated.
This change removes the assert and instead throws an exception informing
the user that their autocomplete is most likely misconfigured.

This introduces a new (demanded?) feature for coercing integers in
interpolation arguments under the experimental feature
`coerce-integers`.
This feature is being introduced behind an *experimental feature flag*
due to the cautious approach we're taking. The codebase has a track
record of revealing unexpected behaviors, often in subtle ways, so we
want to give this sufficient time and exposure before making it stable.
To remove the experimental flag, we want to see **at least two releases
or six months of real-world usage -- whichever is longer** -- that
demonstrate strong confidence the feature doesn't introduce regressions
or unintended side effects. If that level of confidence is reached,
we'll proceed to stabilize it.

Each `inputFromAttrs` is roughly the same function in each class, we
check that the attributes given are correct (in term of keys and other
types) then we coppy the attributes. Instead of having the same code
copied in 10 places, set it in the parent class and specify what is
specific per child class.

It was introduced back in 2013, was disabled in 2014 again for dubious
reasons and according to horrors is unsound anyways and can never really

Back in the days, this used to be the modus operandi, but then, still
many but less years ago, Eelco came along and changed it to passing in
the actual file. Of course, no motivation was provided, and it was only
done on half of the test runners for some reason, leaving us to wonder
what the true intentions of this code are …
Anyways, with this commit now everything standardises on passing in the
file by path instead of via stdin. Motivation:
- We need to `sed` out the path anyways for various other reasons,
including import tests and path value tests
- Given that, the presumed primary motivation for using stdin in the
first place becomes moot
- Bonus points for giving better error messages, especially in tests
that involve multiple input files

Don't ask me the fuck why, but *somehow* Nix prints error locations

Currently, all tests are relative to `./tests/functional` instead of

we no longer have any experimental features depending on ca derivations,
so we can start removing them. since ca derivations are very invasive we
will need a while to remove all of the explicitly experimental code, and
even then we will not have removed *all* code related to ca derivations.
especially in the derivation goals there is a lot of code that is not as
easy to disentangle from experimental features as some would have hoped.

with impure derivations gone we move on to dynamic derivations. this too
is not done in a single commit because dynamic derivations are invasive,
modifying semantics of all references to derivation output paths and all
derivation dependency calculations. removing dynamic derivations cleanly
is made significantly harder by the multiple did-you-mean-sum types, aka
"wrappers for std::variant", holding all derivation outpath information.

The expected and the obtained path are now printed as part of the
error message, making comparing them easier when they're both at hand.
The extra rethrow for the hash-mismatch exception in the bmCheck case
has been removed, allowing the path to be registered as in the
non-check case. This makes having both paths at hand a lot more likely!
The determinism check logic was incorrect for content-addressed paths,
since it only ever tried to compare the path produced, even if this
was not the path expected (in the case of fixed-output derivations) or
the path previously produced (in the case of non-fixed CA
derivations). This made little sense, because that would always be the
same path if it exists! The determinism check is therefore now
bypassed for CA paths. Having a correct determinism check for
non-fixed CA derivations and running the diff hook for fixed-output
derivations would be nice, but feels out of scope and bypassing the
inapplicable logic isn't a regression from the previous behaviour.

we don't remove the entire feature in one go to make review easier.
impure derivations are rather unintrusive on their own, at least if
we compare them to dynamic or ca derivations in general, so we will
be done with this soon. as it stands impure derivations cannot work
without ca derivations, and those we *really* want to leave behind.

it's not useful. nix-instantiate will always point to the wrong location
because "at the toplevel" is not a position we can point to. all nesting
conversions will point to strange places: the *original* definition of a
lambda value (or partial applications thereof), or nowhere at all (since
only lambda values can have their positions determined in the formatter)
Change-Id: I56bd9e1cf3cae11b4198f148a141ca758e4fe8ac
this is much more useful than a frame pointing to the set but claiming
it as a function being called. if the function is actually at fault we
will now point to its attribute, although the position may be slightly
wrong if __toString was defined from set updates or builtin functions.

This was discussed as part of https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/767
with a one month long comment period.
This commit removes the recursive-nix feature from Lix. It has seen
limited usage and is difficult to stabilize, especially on non-Linux
systems where its behavior is underspecified.
Maintaining this feature complicates core work on the store, as we must
account for the potential presence of the daemon in the sandbox, adding
unnecessary complexity. Additionally, its inclusion in the
platform-independent local store creates risks for non-Linux platforms.
For more details on this removal, refer to the release note entry or the
issue entry.

we generally do not want to catch or throw these. catching them to print
and discard is fine, tests are largely exempt, and cases in which we can
be certain where the exception came from are also fine to *catch*. we'll
try to never *throw* (or rethrow) these if possible though because doing
so will make it impossible to construct async traces for the exceptions.

It's possible to put a path into the store in pure mode by pretending
it's locked like this:
$ echo 'lalala' > testfile
$ nix eval --expr '(builtins.fetchTree { path = "/home/ma27/testfile"; rev = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"; type = "path"; })'
{ lastModified = 1723656303; lastModifiedDate = "20240814172503"; narHash = "sha256-hOMY06A0ohaaCLwnhpZIMoAqi/8kG2vk30NRiqi0dfc="; outPath = "/nix/store/lhfz259iipmv9ky995rml8018jvriynh-source"; rev = "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"; shortRev = "0000000"; }

There was a fix in CppNix[1], but Puck noted that it's breaking
backwards-compatibility because
> [...] a github fetch with a fully specified rev is no longer considered "locked"
> this is for "purity" reasons, but it breaks any existing flake.nix files
I tried a way smaller correctness fix here:
* Each scheme can denote whether a `rev` is enough to consider itself
locked.
* If a `rev` is given and the scheme is OK with just a `rev` to be
locked, the input is marked as locked.
For `path` this is not the case anymore, i.e. it requires a NAR hash to
be locked down.
