-The first argument to `--arg`/`--argstr` must be a valid Nix identifier, i.e.
-`nix-build --arg config.allowUnfree true` is now rejected.

-This is because that invocation is a false friend since it doesn't set

-
-The idea is to change the behavior to the latter in the long-term. For that,
-non-identifiers started giving a warning since 2.92 and are now rejected to give people
-who depend on that a chance to notice and potentially weigh in on the discussion.

-The code used to query substituters for derivations has been rewritten slightly
-to take advantage of our asynchronous runtime. Such queries run for every build
-that could download from substituters and processes every derivation that isn't
-yet present on the local system. Previously Lix would use `http-connections` to
-limit query concurrency, even for modern caches that support HTTP/2 and have no
-limit on how many queries can be run concurrently on one single connection. Lix
-no longer does this, resulting in approximately 60% reduction in query time for
-medium-sized closures (e.g. NixOS system closures) during testing, although the
-exact number depends greatly on local network latency and generally improves as
-latency increases. Unlike previously setting `http-connections` to `1` or other
-low values no longer brings a massive penalty in query performance if the cache
-in use by the querying system supports HTTP/2 (as e.g. `cache.nixos.org` does).

-synopsis: New cgroup delegation model
-issues: [fj#537, fj#77]
-cls: [3230]
-category: "Breaking Changes"
-credits: [raito, horrors, lheckemann]
----
-
-Builds using cgroups (i.e. `use-cgroups = true` and the experimental feature
-`cgroups`) now always delegate a cgroup tree to the sandbox.
-
-Compared to the original C++ Nix project, our delegation includes the
-`subtree_control` file as well, which means that the sandbox can disable
-certain controllers in its own cgroup tree.
-
-This is a breaking change because this requires the Nix daemon to run with an
-already delegated cgroup tree by the service manager.
-
-## How to setup the cgroup tree with systemd?
-
-systemd offers knobs to perform the required setup using:
-
-```
-[Service]
-Delegate=yes
-DelegateSubtree=supervisor
-```
-
-These directives are now included in our systemd packaging.
-
-## What about using Nix as root without connecting to the daemon?
-
-Builds run as `root` without connecting to the daemon relying on the cgroup
-feature are now broken, i.e.
-
-```console
-# nix-build --use-cgroups --sandbox ... # will not work
-```
-
-Consider doing instead:
-
-```console
-# systemd-run --same-dir --wait -p Delegate=yes -p DelegateSubgroup=supervisor nix-build --use-cgroups ...
-```
-
-If you need to disable cgroups temporarily, remember that you can do
-`NIX_CONF='include /etc/nix/nix.conf\nuse-cgroups = false' nix-build ...` or
-`nix-build --no-use-cgroups ...`.
-
-## What about other service managers than systemd?
-
-systemd has a [documentation](https://systemd.io/CGROUP_DELEGATION/) on how to
-handle cgroup delegation from service management perspective.
-
-If your service manager adheres to systemd semantics, e.g. writing an extended
-attribute `user.delegate=1` on the delegated cgroup tree directory and moving
-the `nix-daemon` process inside a cgroup tree to respect the inner process
-rule, then, the feature will work as well.
-
-## Why is the cgroup feature still experimental?
-
-While the cgroup feature unlocks many use cases, its behavior and integration (e.g. user experience), especially at scale on build farms or in multi-tenant environments, are not yet fully matured. There’s also potential for deeper systemd integration (e.g. using slices and scopes) that has not been fully explored.
-
-To avoid locking in an unstable interface, we’re keeping the experimental flag until we have validated the feature across a broader range of scenarios, including but not limited to:
-
-* Nix as root
-* Hydra-style build farms
-* Forgejo CI runners
-* Shared remote builders

-This happens because:
-
-1. These builds are not run via the daemon, which owns `/nix/var/nix/builds`.
-2. The user lacks permissions for that path.
-
-We considered making `build-dir` a store-level option and defaulting it to `<chroot-root>/nix/var/nix/builds` for chroot stores, but opted instead for a fallback: if the default fails, Nix now creates a safe build directory under `/tmp`.
-
-To avoid CVE-2025-52991, the fallback uses an extra path component between `/tmp` and the build dir.
-
-**Note**: this fallback clutters `/tmp` with build directories that are not cleaned up. To prevent this, explicitly set `build-dir` to a path managed by Lix, even for local workloads.

----
-
-Ever tried interpolating a port number in Lix and ended up with something like this?
-
-```nix
-"http://${config.network.host}:${builtins.toString config.network.port}/"
-```
-
-You're not alone. Thousands of Lix users suffer every day from excessive `builtins.toString` syndrome. It’s 2025, and we still have to cast integers to use them in strings.
-
-To address this, Lix introduces the **`coerce-integers`** experimental feature. When enabled, interpolated integers within `"${...}"` are automatically coerced to strings. This allows writing:
-
-```nix
-"http://${config.network.host}:${config.network.port}/"
-```
-
-without additional conversion.
-
-To enable the feature, you need to add `coerce-integers` to your set of experimental features.
-
-### Stabilization criteria
-
-The `coerce-integers` feature is experimental and limited strictly to string interpolation (`"${...}"`). Before stabilization, the following must hold:
-
-1. **Interpolation-only**
-   Coercion must not occur outside interpolation. Expressions like `"" + 42` must continue to fail.
-
-2. **Expectation that no explicit cast are being observed**
-   Cases observing explicit coercion (e.g., via `tryEval` gadget or similar) are expected not to be load-bearing in actual production code.
-
-### Timeline for stabilization
-
-If the feature proves safe and is widely adopted across typical usage (e.g., actual configurations in the wild turning on the flag, non-trivial out-of-tree projects using it), the experimental flag will be removed **after six months of active use or two Lix releases**, whichever is longer.
-
-This avoids locking the feature in experimental status indefinitely, as happened with Flakes, while allowing time for validation and ecosystem integration.
-
-### What about coercing floats or more?
-
-Coercion beyond integers -- such as for floats or other types -- is **not planned**, even under an experimental flag. Questions like "what is the canonical string representation of a float?" involve subtle and context-dependent trade-offs. Without a robust and principled mechanism to define and audit such behavior, introducing broader coercion risks setting unintended and hard-to-reverse precedents. The scope of `coerce-integers` is intentionally narrow and will remain so.
-
-In terms of outlook, a proposal like https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/835 could pave the way for a better solution.

-In the Lix evaluator, **symbols** represent immutable strings, like those used

-
-In evaluator design, such strings are typically [**interned**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_interning), stored uniquely
-to save memory, and Lix inherits this approach from the original C++ codebase.
-
-However, some builtins, like `builtins.attrNames`, must return a `Value` type

-Before this change, these builtins would create lists of `Value` objects by
-allocating them through the garbage collector, copying the symbol’s string
-content each time.
-
-This allocation is unnecessary if the interned symbols themselves also hold a

 # Description
 
 The `nix-build` command builds the derivations described by the Nix
-expressions in each *fileish*. If the build succeeds, it places a symlink to
+expressions in *paths*. If the build succeeds, it places a symlink to
 the result in the current directory. The symlink is called `result`. If
 there are multiple Nix expressions, or the Nix expressions evaluate to
 multiple derivations, multiple sequentially numbered symlinks are
 created (`result`, `result-2`, and so on).
 
-If no *fileish* is specified, then `nix-build` will use `default.nix` in
+If no *paths* are specified, then `nix-build` will use `default.nix` in
 the current directory, if it exists.
 
-## Fileish Syntax
-
-A given *fileish* may take one of a few different forms, the first being a simple filesystem path, e.g. `nix-build /tmp/some-file.nix`.
-Like the [import builtin](../language/builtins.md#builtins-import) specifying a directory is equivalent to specifying `default.nix` within that directory.
-It may also be a [search path](./env-common.md#env-NIX_PATH) (also known as a lookup path) like `<nixpkgs>`, which is convenient to use with `--attr`/`-A`:
-
-```console
-$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A firefox
-```
-
-(Note the quotation marks around `<nixpkgs>`, which will be necessary in most Unix shells.)
-
-If a *fileish* starts with `http://` or `https://`, it is interpreted as the URL of a tarball which will be fetched and unpacked.
-Lix will then `import` the unpacked directory, so these tarballs must include at least a single top-level directory with a file called `default.nix`
-For example, you could build from a specific version of Nixpkgs with something like:
-
-```console
-$ nix-build "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/refs/heads/release-23.11.tar.gz" -A firefox
-```
-
-If a path starts with `flake:`, the rest of the argument is interpreted as a [flakeref](./new-cli/nix3-flake.md#flake-references) (see `nix flake --help` or `man nix3-flake`), which requires the "flakes" experimental feature to be enabled.
-Lix will fetch the flake, and then `import` its unpacked directory, so the flake must include a file called `default.nix`.
-For example, the flake analogues to the above `nix-build` commands are:
-
-```console
-$ nix-build flake:nixpkgs -A firefox
-$ nix-build flake:github:NixOS/nixpkgs/release-23.11 -A firefox
-```
-
-Finally, for legacy reasons, if a path starts with `channel:`, the rest of the argument is interpreted as the name of a *nixpkgs* channel tarball to fetch from `https://nixos.org/channels/$CHANNEL_NAME/nixexprs.tar.xz`.
-This is a **hard coded URL** pattern and is *not* related to the subscribed channels managed by the [nix-channel](./nix-channel.md) command.
-
-> **Note**: any of the special syntaxes may always be disambiguated by prefixing the path.
-> For example: a file in the current directory literally called `<nixpkgs>` can be addressed as `./<nixpkgs>`, to escape the special interpretation.
-
-In summary, a path argument may be one of:
-
-{{#include ./fileish-summary.md}}
-
-## Notes
+If an element of *paths* starts with `http://` or `https://`, it is
+interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be downloaded and unpacked

-This section describes the notion of *deprecated features*, and how it fits into the big picture of the development of Lix.
-
-# What are deprecated features?
-
-Deprecated features are disabled by default, with the intent to eventually remove them.
-Users must explicitly enable them to keep using them, by toggling the associated [deprecated feature flags](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-deprecated-features).
-This allows backwards compatibility and a graceful transition away from undesired features.
-
-# Which features can be deprecated?
-
-Undesired features should be soft-deprecated by yielding a warning when used for a significant amount of time before the can be deprecated.
-Legacy obsolete feature with little to no usage may go through this process faster.
-Deprecated features should have a migration path to a preferred alternative.
-
-# Lifecycle of a deprecated feature
-
-This description is not normative, but a feature removal may roughly happen like this:
-
-1. Add a warning when the feature is being used.
-2. Disable the feature by default, putting it behind a deprecated feature flag.
-  - If disabling the feature started out as an opt-in experimental feature, turn that experimental flag into a no-op or remove it entirely.
-    For example, `--extra-experimental-features=no-url-literals` becomes `--extra-deprecated-features=url-literals`.
-3. Decide on a time frame for how long that feature will still be supported for backwards compatibility, and clearly communicate that in the error messages.
-  - Sometimes, automatic migration to alternatives is possible, and such should be provided if possible
-  - At least one NixOS release cycle should be the minimum
-4. Finally remove the feature entirely, only keeping the error message for those still using it.
-
-# Relation to language versioning
-
-Obviously, removing anything breaks backwards compatibility.
-In an ideal world, we'd have SemVer controls over the language and its features, cleanly allowing us to make breaking changes.
-See https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/language-versioning and [RFC 137](https://github.com/nixos/rfcs/pull/137) for efforts on that.
-However, we do not live in such an ideal world, and currently this goal is so far away, that "just disable it with some back-compat for a couple of years" is the most realistic solution, especially for comparatively minor changes.

-## Adding experimental or deprecated features, global settings, or builtins
-
-Experimental and deprecated features, global settings, and builtins are generally referenced both in the code and in the documentation.
-To prevent duplication or divergence, they are defined in data files, and a script generates the necessary glue.
-The data file format is similar to the release notes: it consists of a YAML metadata header, followed by the documentation in Markdown format.
-
-### Experimental or deprecated features
-
-Experimental and deprecated features support the following metadata properties:
-* `name` (required): user-facing name of the feature, to be used in `nix.conf` options and on the command line.
-  This should also be the stem of the file name (with extension `md`).
-* `internalName` (required): identifier used to refer to the feature inside the C++ code.
-
-Experimental feature data files should live in `lix/libutil/experimental-features`, and deprecated features in `lix/libutil/deprecated-features`.
-They must be listed in the `experimental_feature_definitions` or `deprecated_feature_definitions` lists in `lix/libutil/meson.build` respectively to be considered by the build system.
-
-### Global settings
-
-Global settings support the following metadata properties:
-* `name` (required): user-facing name of the setting, to be used as key in `nix.conf` and in the `--option` command line argument.
-* `internalName` (required): identifier used to refer to the setting inside the C++ code.
-* `platforms` (optional): a list specifying the platforms on which this setting is available.
-  If not specified, it is available on all platforms.
-  Valid platform names are `darwin`, `linux`.
-* `type` (optional): C++ type of the setting value.
-  This specifies the setting object type as `Setting<T>`; if more control is required, use `settingType` instead.
-* `settingType` (required if `type` is not specified): C++ type of the setting object.
-* `default` (optional): default value of the setting.
-  `null`, truth values, integers, strings and lists are supported as long as the correct YAML type is used, `type` is not taken into account).
-  Other types, machine-dependent values or non-standard representations must be handled using `defaultExpr` and `defaultText` instead.
-* `defaultExpr` (required if `default` is not specified): a string containing the C++ expression representing the default value.
-* `defaultText` (required if `default` is not specified): a string containing the Markdown expression representing the default value in the documentation.
-  Literal values are conventionally surrounded by backticks, and a system-dependent value is signaled by `*machine-specific*`.
-* `aliases` (optional): a list of secondary user-facing names under which the setting is available.
-  Defaults to empty if not specified.
-* `experimentalFeature` (optional): the user-facing name of the experimental feature which needs to be enabled to change the setting.
-  If not specified, no experimental feature is required.
-* `deprecated` (optional): whether the setting is deprecated and shown as such in the documentation for `nix.conf`.
-  Defaults to false if not specified.
-
-Settings are not collected in a single place in the source tree, so an appropriate place needs to be found for the setting to live.
-Look for related setting definition files under second-level subdirectories of `lix` whose name includes `settings`.
-Then add the new file there, and don't forget to register it in the appropriate `meson.build` file.
-
-### Builtin functions
-
-The following metadata properties are supported for builtin functions:
-* `name` (required): the language-facing name (as a member of the `builtins` attribute set) of the function.
-* `implementation` (optional): a C++ expression specifying the implementation of the builtin.
-  It must be a function of signature `void(EvalState &, PosIdx, Value * *, Value &)`.
-  If not specified, defaults to `prim_${name}`.
-* `renameInGlobalScope` (optional): whether the definition should be "hidden" in the global scope by prefixing its name with two underscores.
-  If not specified, defaults to `true`.
-* `args` (required): list containing the names of the arguments, as shown in the documentation.
-  All arguments must be listed here since the function arity is derived as the length of this list.
-* `experimental_feature` (optional): the user-facing name of the experimental feature which needs to be enabled for the builtin function to be available.
-  If not specified, no experimental feature is required.
-
-New builtin function definition files must be added to `lix/libexpr/builtins` and registered in the `builtin_definitions` list in `lix/libexpr/meson.build`.
-
-### Builtin constants
-The following metadata properties are supported for builtin constants:
-* `name` (required): the language-facing name (as a member of the `builtins` attribute set) of the constant.
-* `type` (required): the Nix language type of the constant; the C++ type is automatically derived.
-* `constructorArgs` (optional): list of strings containing C++ expressions passed as arguments to the appropriate `Value` constructor.
-  If the value computation is more complex, `implementation` can be used instead.
-* `implementation` (required if `constructorArgs` is not specified): string containing a C++ expressing computing the value of the constant.
-* `impure` (optional): whether the constant is considered impure.
-  Impure constants are not available when pure evaluation mode is activated.
-  Defaults to `false` when not specified.
-
-New builtin constant definition files must be added to `lix/libexpr/builtin-constants` and registered in the `builtin_constant_definitions` list in `lix/libexpr/meson.build`.

-
-That is, after this command, the garbage collector will not remove
-`/nix/store/d718ef...-foo` or any of its dependencies.
-
-Subdirectories of `prefix/nix/var/nix/gcroots` are also searched for

-
-Symlinks may also point to paths outside the nix store. If the
-destination of the symlink is itself a symlink to a store path, it
-is also considered a root. This style of GC root is called an
-"indirect root", and is created by tools like `nix-build` to avoid
-garbage-collecting paths that are being used on-the-fly rather than
-installed in profiles.
-
-
-### In-use roots
-
-Lix will also perform a best-effort detection of paths that are in use
-by running processes when scanning for garbage collection roots, to
-avoid removing paths that are still needed by running processes.
-
-Exact details vary between platforms, but the following will generally
-be taken into account:
-
-- Executables in the store that are currently running;
-- Other files in the store that are mapped into a process's address space (e.g. shared libraries);
-- Files in the store to which processes have open handles;
-- Store paths found in processes' environment variables.
-
-Note that this detection is susceptible to missing paths that may still be in use for multiple reasons:
-
-- Time-of-check-to-time-of-use (TOCTTOU): new processes may appear
-  after Lix has enumerated the currently running processes, and will
-  not be taken into account;
-- Access privileges: if the garbage collection is not running as the
-  root user (this is typically the case for single-user
-  installations), it will not be able to scan processes belonging to
-  other users;
-- Other types of references: store paths may be stored in parts of the
-  filesystem (e.g. databases) or process memory (e.g. environment
-  variables changed since the start of the process) that Lix does not
-  scan.
-
-For this reason, it is recommended to create explicit roots whenever
-using store paths that aren't obtained from some existing explicit GC
-root.

+- `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` now uses TLS verification [#11585](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11585)
+
+  Previously `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` did not do TLS verification. This was because the Nix sandbox in the past did not have access to TLS certificates, and Nix checks the hash of the fetched file anyway. However, this can expose authentication data from `netrc` and URLs to man-in-the-middle attackers. In addition, Nix now in some cases (such as when using impure derivations) does *not* check the hash. Therefore we have now enabled TLS verification. This means that downloads by `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` will now fail if you're fetching from a HTTPS server that does not have a valid certificate.
+
+  `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` is also known as the builtin derivation builder `builtin:fetchurl`. It's not to be confused with the evaluation-time function `builtins.fetchurl`, which was not affected by this issue.

-## Breaking Changes
-- Deprecated language features [fj#437](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/437) [#861](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/861) [cl/1785](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1785) [cl/1736](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1736) [cl/1735](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1735) [cl/1744](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1744) [cl/2206](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2206)
-
-  A system for deprecation (and then the planned removal) of undesired language features has been put into place.
-  It is controlled via feature flags much like experimental features, except that the deprecations are enabled default,
-  and can be disabled via the flags for backwards compatibility (opt-out with `--extra-deprecated-features` or the Nix configuration file).
-
-  - `url-literals`: **URL literals** have long been obsolete and discouraged of use, and now they are officially deprecated.
-    This means that all URLs must be properly put within quotes like all other strings.
-  - `rec-set-overrides`: **__overrides** is an old arcane syntax which has not been in use for more than a decade.
-    It is soft-deprecated with a warning only, with the plan to turn that into an error in a future release.
-  - `ancient-let`: **The old `let` syntax** (`let { body = …; … }`) is soft-deprecated with a warning as well. Use the regular `let … in` instead.
-  - `shadow-internal-symbols`: Arithmetic expressions like `5 - 3` internally expand to `__sub 5 3`, where `__sub` maps to a subtraction builtin. Shadowing such a symbols would affect the evaluation of such operations, but in a very inconsistent way, and is therefore deprecated now. **Affected symbols are:** `__sub`, `__mul`, `__div` and `__lessThan`. Note that these symbols may still be used as variable names as long as they do not shadow internal operations, so e.g. `let __sub = x: y: x + y; in __sub 3 5` remains valid code.
-    - **Call to action:** If you have any use cases or workflows that depend on being able to override the `__nixPath` and `__findFile` symbols, please reach out to us. We want to eventually deprecate overriding these as well, and need input on how to design a better alternative.

-- transfers no longer allow arbitrary url schemas [cl/2106](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2106)
-
-  Lix no longer allows transfers using arbitrary url schemas. Only `http://`, `https://`, `ftp://`, `ftps://`, and `file://` urls are supported going forward. This affects `builtins.fetchurl`, `<nix/fetchurl.nix>`, transfers to and from binary caches, and all other uses of the internal file transfer code. Flake inputs using multi-protocol schemas (e.g. `git+ssh`) are not affected as those use external utilities to transfer data.
-
-  The `s3://` scheme is not affected at all by this change and continues to work if S3 support is built into Lix.
-
-  Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
-- Removing the `.` default argument passed to the `nix fmt` formatter [#11438](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11438) [cl/1902](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1902)
-
-  The underlying formatter no longer receives the ". " default argument when `nix fmt` is called with no arguments.
-
-  This change was necessary as the formatter wasn't able to distinguish between
-  a user wanting to format the current folder with `nix fmt .` or the generic
-  `nix fmt`.
-
-  The default behaviour is now the responsibility of the formatter itself, and
-  allows tools such as treefmt to format the whole tree instead of only the
-  current directory and below.
-
-  This may cause issues with some formatters: nixfmt, nixpkgs-fmt and alejandra currently format stdin when no arguments are passed.
-
-  Here is a small wrapper example that will restore the previous behaviour for such a formatter:
-
-  ```nix
-  {
-    outputs = { self, nixpkgs, systems }:
-      let
-        eachSystem = nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs (import systems) (system: nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system});
-      in
-      {
-        formatter = eachSystem (pkgs:
-          pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "formatter" ''
-            if [[ $# = 0 ]]; then set -- .; fi
-            exec "${pkgs.nixfmt-rfc-style}/bin/nixfmt" "$@"
-          '');
-      };
-  }
-  ```

-- Relative and tilde paths in configuration [fj#482](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/482) [cl/1851](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1851) [cl/1863](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1863) [cl/1864](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1864)
-
-  [Configuration settings](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md) can now refer to
-  files with paths relative to the file they're written in or relative to your
-  home directory (with `~/`).
-
-  This makes settings like
-  [`repl-overlays`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-repl-overlays) and
-  [`secret-key-files`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-repl-overlays)
-  much easier to set, especially if you'd like to refer to files in an existing
-  dotfiles repo cloned into your home directory.
-
-  If you put `repl-overlays = repl.nix` in your `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`, it'll
-  load `~/.config/nix/repl.nix`. Similarly, you can set `repl-overlays =
-  ~/.dotfiles/repl.nix` to load a file relative to your home directory.
-
-  Configuration files can also
-  [`include`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#file-format) paths relative to
-  your home directory.
-
-  Only user configuration files (like `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nix/nix.conf` or the
-  files listed in `$NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`) can use tilde paths relative to your
-  home directory. Configuration listed in the `$NIX_CONFIG` environment variable
-  may not use relative paths.

-- Improved error messages for bad attr paths [cl/2277](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2277) [cl/2280](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2280)
-
-  Lix now includes much more detail when a bad attribute path is accessed at the command line:
-
-  ```
-   » nix eval -f '<nixpkgs>' lixVersions.lix_2_92
-  error: attribute 'lix_2_92' in selection path 'lixVersions.lix_2_92' not found
-         Did you mean one of lix_2_90 or lix_2_91?
-  ```
-
-  After:
-
-  ```
-   » nix eval --impure -f '<nixpkgs>' lixVersions.lix_2_92
-  error: attribute 'lix_2_92' in selection path 'lixVersions.lix_2_92' not found inside path 'lixVersions', whose contents are: { __unfix__ = «lambda @ /nix/store/hfz1qqd0z8amlgn8qwich1dvkmldik36-source/lib/fixed-points.nix:
-  447:7»; buildLix = «thunk»; extend = «thunk»; latest = «thunk»; lix_2_90 = «thunk»; lix_2_91 = «thunk»; override = «thunk»; overrideDerivation = «thunk»; recurseForDerivations = true; stable = «thunk»; }
-         Did you mean one of lix_2_90 or lix_2_91?
-  ```
-
-  This should avoid some unnecessary trips to the repl or to the debugger by giving some information about the value being selected on that was unexpected.
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-- Small error message improvements [cl/2185](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2185) [cl/2187](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2187)
-
-  When an attribute selection fails, the error message now correctly points to the attribute in the chain that failed instead of at the beginning of the entire chain.
-  ```diff
-   error: attribute 'x' missing
-  -       at /pwd/lang/eval-fail-remove.nix:4:3:
-  +       at /pwd/lang/eval-fail-remove.nix:4:29:
-               3| in
-               4|   (removeAttrs attrs ["x"]).x
-  -             |   ^
-  +             |                             ^
-               5|
-  ```
-
-  Failed asserts don't print the failed assertion expression anymore in the error message. That code was buggy and the information was redundant anyways, given that the error position already more accurately shows what exactly failed.

-- Improvements to interactive flake config [cl/2066](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2066)
-
-  If `accept-flake-config` is set to `ask` and a `flake.nix` defines `nixConfig`,
-  Lix will ask on the CLI which of these settings should be used for the command.
-
-  Now, it's possible to answer with `N` (as opposed to `n` to only reject the setting
-  that is asked for) to reject _all untrusted_ entries from the flake's `nixConf`
-  section.
-
-  Many thanks to [ma27](https://git.lix.systems/ma27) for this.
-- `nix --version` now shows details about the installation by default [fj#620](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/620) [cl/2365](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2365)
-
-  This happened with `nix-env --version` by default, but due to [oddities around the nix3 CLI's verbosity](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1370), it used to be `nix --verbose --version`.
-
-  No longer:
-
-  ```
-  $ nix --version
-  nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.92.0-dev-pre20250117-0d14c2b
-  System type: x86_64-linux
-  Additional system types: i686-linux, x86_64-v1-linux, x86_64-v2-linux, x86_64-v3-linux
-  Features: gc, signed-caches
-  System configuration file: /etc/nix/nix.conf
-  User configuration files: /home/jade/.config/nix/nix.conf:/etc/xdg/nix/nix.conf
-  Store directory: /nix/store
-  State directory: /nix/var/nix
-  Data directory: /nix/store/rliimcnqkplrqdgm4z6yqclpr6c32wh6-lix-2.92.0-dev-pre20250117-0d14c2b/share

-- `nix repl` correctly tab-completes attribute names that require quotes [cl/1783](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1783)
-
-  The REPL (`nix repl`) now includes quotes as part of attribute names while completing with `<TAB>`,
-  if necessary. For example, attribute names like `"hello@example.com"` or `"hello world"` would
-  be suggested without quotes, resulting in invalid syntax.
-
-  Many thanks to [ian-h-chamberlain](https://git.lix.systems/ian-h-chamberlain) for this.
-- Reproducibility check builds now report all differing outputs [cl/2069](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2069)
-
-  `nix-build --check` allows rerunning the build of an already-built derivation to check that it produces the same output again.
-
-  If a multiple-output derivation with impure behaviour is built with `--check`, only the first output would be shown in the resulting error message (and kept for comparison):
-
-  ```
-  error: derivation '/nix/store/4spy3nz1661zm15gkybsy1h5f36aliwx-python3.11-test-1.0.0.drv' may not be deterministic: output '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test
-  -1.0.0-dist' differs from '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test-1.0.0-dist.check'
-  ```
-
-  Now, all differing outputs are kept and reported:
-  ```
-  error: derivation '4spy3nz1661zm15gkybsy1h5f36aliwx-python3.11-test-1.0.0.drv' may not be deterministic: outputs differ
-           output differs: output '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test-1.0.0-dist' differs from '/nix/store/ccqcp01zg18wp9iadzmzimqzdi3ll08d-python3.11-test-1.0.0-dist.check'
-           output differs: output '/nix/store/yl59v08356i841c560alb0zmk7q16klb-python3.11-test-1.0.0' differs from '/nix/store/yl59v08356i841c560alb0zmk7q16klb-python3.11-test-1.0.0.check'
-  ```

-- Some Lix crashes now produce reporting instructions and a stack trace, then abort [cl/1854](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1854)
-
-  Lix, being a C++ program, can crash in a few kinds of ways.
-  It can obviously do a memory access violation, which will generate a core dump and thus be relatively debuggable.
-  But, worse, it could throw an unhandled exception, and, in the past, we would just show the message but not where it comes from, in spite of this always being a bug, since we expect all such errors to be translated to a Lix specific error.
-  Now the latter kind of bug should print reporting instructions, a rudimentary stack trace and (depending on system configuration) generate a core dump.
-
-  Sample output:
-
-  ```
-  Lix crashed. This is a bug. We would appreciate if you report it along with what caused it at https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues with the following information included:
-
-  Exception: std::runtime_error: test exception
-  Stack trace:

-- Add a `temp-dir` setting to set the temporary directory location [#7731](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7731) [#8995](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8995) [fj#112](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/112) [fj#253](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/253) [cl/2103](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2103)
-
-  [`temp-dir`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-temp-dir) can now be set in the Nix
-  configuration to change the temporary directory. This can be used to relocate all temporary files
-  to another filesystem without affecting the `TMPDIR` env var inherited by interactive
-  `nix-shell`/`nix shell` shells or `nix run` commands.
-
-  Also on macOS, the `TMPDIR` env var is no longer unset for interactive shells when pointing
-  to a per-session `/var/folders/` directory.

-## Fixes
-- Build failures caused by `allowSubstitutes = false` while being the wrong system now produce a decent error [fj#484](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/484) [cl/1841](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1841)
-
-  Nix allows derivations to set `allowSubstitutes = false` in order to force them to be built locally without querying substituters for them.
-  This is useful for derivations that are very fast to build (especially if they produce large output).
-  However, this can shoot you in the foot if the derivation *has* to be substituted such as if the derivation is for another architecture, which is what `--always-allow-substitutes` is for.
-
-  Perhaps such derivations that are known to be impossible to build locally should ignore `allowSubstitutes` (irrespective of remote builders) in the future, but this at least reports the failure and solution directly.
-
-  ```
-  $ nix build -f fail.nix
-  error: a 'unicornsandrainbows-linux' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/...-meow.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {...}
-
-         Hint: the failing derivation has allowSubstitutes set to false, forcing it to be built rather than substituted.
-         Passing --always-allow-substitutes to force substitution may resolve this failure if the path is available in a substituter.
-  ```
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-- `Alt+Left` and `Alt+Right` go back/forwards by words in `nix repl` [fj#501](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/501) [cl/1883](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1883)
-
-  `nix repl` now recognizes `Alt+Left` and `Alt+Right` for navigating by words
-  when entering input in `nix repl` on more terminals/platforms.
-
-  Many thanks to [wiggles](https://git.lix.systems/rbt) for this.
-- Ctrl-C stops Nix commands much more reliably and responsively [#7245](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7245) [fj#393](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/393) [#11618](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11618) [cl/2016](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2016)
-
-  CTRL-C will now stop Nix commands much more reliably and responsively. While
-  there are still some cases where a Nix command can be slow or unresponsive
-  following a `SIGINT` (please report these as issues!), the vast majority of
-  signals will now cause the Nix command to quit quickly and consistently.

-- restore backwards-compatibility of `builtins.fetchGit` with Nix 2.3 [#5291](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5291) [#5128](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5128)
-
-  Compatibility with `builtins.fetchGit` from Nix 2.3 has been restored as follows:
-
-  * Until now, each `ref` was prefixed with `refs/heads` unless it starts with `refs/` itself.
-
-    Now, this is not done if the `ref` looks like a commit hash.
-
-  * Specifying `builtins.fetchGit { ref = "a-tag"; /* … */ }` was broken because `refs/heads` was appended.
-
-    Now, the fetcher doesn't turn a ref into `refs/heads/ref`, but into `refs/*/ref`. That way,
-    the value in `ref` can be either a tag or a branch.
-
-  * The ref resolution happens the same way as in git:
-
-    * If `refs/ref` exists, it's used.
-    * If a tag `refs/tags/ref` exists, it's used.
-    * If a branch `refs/heads/ref` exists, it's used.
-
-  Many thanks to [ma27](https://git.lix.systems/ma27) for this.
-- Flakes/restrict-eval no longer allow reading contents of impure paths
-
-  Flakes and `--restrict-eval` now correctly restrict access to paths as intended.
-  In prior versions since at least 2.18, `nix eval --raw .#lol` for the following flake didn't throw an error and acted as if `--impure` was passed.
-
-  Thanks to the person who reported this for telling us about it.
-  This was handled as a low-severity security bug, but is not a violation of the [documented security model](../installation/multi-user.md) as untrusted Nix code should be assumed to have the privileges of the user running the evaluator.
-  To report a security bug, email a report to `security at lix dot systems`.
-
-  ```nix
-  {
-    inputs = {};
-    outputs = {...}: {
-      lol = builtins.readFile "${/etc/passwd}";
-    };
-  }
-  ```
-
-  Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.
-- HTTP proxy environment variables are now respected for S3 binary cache stores [fj#433](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/433) [cl/1788](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1788)
-
-  Due to "legacy reasons" (according to the AWS C++ SDK docs), the AWS SDK ignores system proxy configuration by default.
-  We turned it back on.
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-- Fix potential store corruption with auto-optimise-store [#7273](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7273) [cl/2100](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2100)
-
-  Optimising store paths (and other operations involving temporary files) no longer use `random(3)`
-  to generate filenames. On darwin systems this was observed to potentially cause store corruption
-  when using [`auto-optimise-store`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-auto-optimise-store),
-  though this corruption was possible on any system whose `random(3)` does not have locking around
-  the global state.
-
-  Many thanks to [lilyball](https://git.lix.systems/lilyball) for this.
-- Change `nix-build -o ""` to behave like `--no-out-link` [cl/2103](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2103)
-
-  [`nix-build`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-build.md) now treats <code>[--out-link](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-build.md#opt-out-link) ''</code>
-  the same as [`--no-out-link`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-build.md#opt-no-out-link). This matches
-  [`nix build`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-build.md) behavior. Previously when building the default output it
-  would have resulted in throwing an error saying the current working directory already exists, and when building any
-  other output it would have resulted in a symlink starting with a hyphen such as `-doc`, which is a footgun for
-  terminal commands.
-
-  Many thanks to [lilyball](https://git.lix.systems/lilyball) for this.
-- Ignore broken `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` symlink [fj#560](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/560) [cl/2144](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2144)
-
-  [`ssl-cert-file`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-ssl-cert-file) now checks its default
-  value for a broken symlink before using it. This fixes a problem on macOS where uninstalling
-  nix-darwin may leave behind a broken symlink at `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` that was
-  stopping Lix from using the cert at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt`.
-
-  Many thanks to [lilyball](https://git.lix.systems/lilyball) for this.
-- `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` now uses TLS verification [#11585](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11585)
-
-  Previously `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` did not do TLS verification. This was because the Nix sandbox in the past did not have access to TLS certificates, and Nix checks the hash of the fetched file anyway. However, this can expose authentication data from `netrc` and URLs to man-in-the-middle attackers. In addition, Nix now in some cases (such as when using impure derivations) does *not* check the hash. Therefore we have now enabled TLS verification. This means that downloads by `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` will now fail if you're fetching from a HTTPS server that does not have a valid certificate.
-
-  `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` is also known as the builtin derivation builder `builtin:fetchurl`. It's not to be confused with the evaluation-time function `builtins.fetchurl`, which was not affected by this issue.

-## Packaging
-- readline support removed [cl/1885](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1885)
-
-  Support for building Lix with [`readline`][readline] instead of
-  [`editline`][editline] has been removed. `readline` support hasn't worked for a
-  long time (attempting to use it would lead to build errors) and would make Lix
-  subject to the GPL if it did work. In the future, we're hoping to replace
-  `editline` with [`rustyline`][rustyline] for improved ergonomics in the `nix
-  repl`.
-

-## Development
-- Includes are now qualified with library name everywhere [cl/2178](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2178) [cl/2362](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2362)
-
-  The Lix includes have all been rearranged to be of the form `"lix/libexpr/foo.hh"` instead of `"foo.hh"`.
-  This was already supported externally for a migration period, but it is now being applied to all the internal usages within Lix itself.
-  The goal of this change is to both clarify where a file is from and to avoid polluting global include paths with things like `config.h` that might conflict with other projects.
-
-  Lix 2.92 removes support for the old `"foo.hh"` include form either internally or externally (that is, via pkg-config for things linking to Lix).
-
-  For other details, see the release notes of Lix 2.90.0, under "Rename all the libraries" in Breaking Changes.
-
-  To fix an external project with sources in `src` which has a separate build directory (such that headers are in `../src` relative to where the compiler is running), use a checkout of Lix 2.91 to run the following:
-
-  ```
-  lix_root=$HOME/lix
-  (cd $lix_root && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build subprojects/lix-clang-tidy/liblix-clang-tidy.so')
-  run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/build/subprojects/lix-clang-tidy/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -header-filter '\.\./src/.*\.h' -fix src

-- The beginnings of a new pytest-based functional test suite [cl/2036](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2036) [cl/2037](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2037)
-
-  The existing integration/functional test suite is based on a large volume of shell scripts.
-  This often makes it somewhat challenging to debug at the best of times.
-  The goal of the pytest test suite is to make tests have more obvious dependencies on files and to make tests more concise and easier to write, as well as making new testing methods like snapshot testing easy.
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-- Dependency on monolithic coreutils removed [cl/2108](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2108)
-
-  Previously, the build erroneously depended on a `coreutils` binary, which requires `coreutils` to be built with a specific configuration. This was only used in one test and was not required to be a single binary. This dependency is removed now.
-
-  Many thanks to [Vigress](https://git.lix.systems/vigress8) for this.
-- All Lix threads are named [cl/2210](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2210)
-
-  Lix now sets thread names on all of its secondary threads, which will make debugger usage slightly nicer and easier.
-
-  ```
-  (gdb) info thr

-- Set `X-GitHub-Api-Version` header [fj#255](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/255) [cl/1925](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1925)
-
-  Sets the `X-GitHub-Api-Version` header to `2022-11-28` for calls to the
-  GitHub API.
-  This follows the later version as per
-  https://docs.github.com/en/rest/about-the-rest-api/api-versions?apiVersion=2022-11-28.
-
-  This affected the check on whether to use the API versus unauthenticated
-  calls as well, given the headers would no longer be empty if the
-  authentication token were missing.
-  The workaround to this used here is to use a check similar to an existing
-  check for the token.
-
-  In the current implementation, headers are (still) similarly sent to
-  non-authenticated as well as GitHub on-prem calls.
-  For what it's worth, manual curl calls with such a header seemed to
-  break nor unauthenticated calls nor ones to the github.com API.

-  Many thanks to [kiara](https://github.com/KiaraGrouwstra) for this.
-
-## Miscellany
-- Drop support for `xz` and `bzip2` Content-Encoding [cl/2134](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2134)
-
-  Lix no longer supports the non-standard HTTP Content-Encoding values `xz` and `bzip2`.
-  We do not expect this to cause any problems in practice since these encodings *aren't*
-  standard, and any server delivering them anyway without being asked to is already well
-  and truly set on the path of causing inexplicable client breakages.
-
-  Lix's ability to decompress files compressed with `xz` or `bzip2` is unaffected. We're
-  only bringing Lix more in line with the HTTP standard; all post-transfer data handling
-  remains as it was before.
-
-  Many thanks to [eldritch horrors](https://git.lix.systems/pennae) for this.

-## Breaking Changes
-
-- more deprecated features
-
-  This release cycle features a new batch of deprecated (anti-)features.
-  You can opt in into the old behavior with `--extra-deprecated-features` or any equivalent configuration option.
-
-  - `cr-line-endings`: Current handling of CR (`\r`) or CRLF (`\r\n`) line endings in Nix is inconsistent and broken, and will lead to unexpected evaluation results with certain strings. Given that fixing the semantics might silently alter the evaluation result of derivations, the only option at the moment is to disallow them altogether. More proper support for CRLF is planned to be added back again in the future. Until then, all files must use `\n` exclusively.
-  - `nul-bytes`: Currently the Nix grammar allows NUL bytes (`\0`) in strings, and thus indirectly also in identifiers. Unfortunately, several core parts of the code base still work with NUL-terminated strings and cannot easily be migrated. Also note that it is still possible to introduce NUL bytes and thus problematic behavior via other means, those are tracked separately.

-- Removal of the `recursive-nix` experimental feature [fj#767](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/767) [cl/2872](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2872)
-
-  The `recursive-nix` experimental feature and all associated code have been removed.
-
-  `recursive-nix` enabled running Nix operations (like evaluations and builds) *inside* a derivation builder. This worked by spawning a temporary Nix daemon socket within the build environment, allowing the derivation to emit outputs that appeared in the outer store. This was primarily used to prototype **dynamic derivations** (dyndrvs), where build plans are generated on-the-fly during a build.
-
-  However, this approach introduced critical issues:
-
-  - It entrenched the legacy Nix daemon protocol as part of the derivation ABI, which is a blocker for future stabilization.
-  - It imposed tight coupling between sandbox setup code and knowledge of Nix internals, complicating refactoring and long-term maintenance.
-  - It was never intended to be the final design for dynamic derivations. The original Nix implementation team, who are leading dyndrv development, have agreed it will be replaced (likely via `varlink` or similar) before any stabilization.
-  - There is currently no known usage of `recursive-nix` on `lix` or elsewhere **in production**.
-
-  If you're using `recursive-nix` for something niche or experimental, we'd love to hear from you on the RFD issue.
-  You can still run `nix` inside a builder manually if needed — including with isolated user namespaces and fake stores — but the special daemon-handshake machinery is gone.
-
-  This removal unblocks several important internal cleanups.

-- Flake inputs/`builtins.fetchTree` invocations with `type = "file"` now have consistent (but different from previous versions) resulting paths [fj#750](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/750) [cl/2864](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2864)
-
-  Previously `fetchTree { type = "file"; url = "...", narHash = "sha256-..."; }` could return a different result depending on whether someone has run `nix store add-path --name source ...` on a path with the same `narHash` as the flake input/`fetchTree` invocation (or if such a path exists in an accessible binary cache).
-
-  In the past `type = "file"` flake inputs were, in contrast to all other flake inputs, hashed in *flat* hash mode rather than *recursive* hash mode.
-  The difference between the two is that *flat* mode hashes are just what you get from `sha256sum` of a single file, whereas *recursive* hashes are the SHA256 sum of a NAR (Nix ARchive, a deterministic tarball-like format) of a file tree.
-
-  Much of flakes assumes that everything is recursive-hashed including `nix flake archive`, substitution of flake inputs from binary caches, and more, which led to the substitution path code being taken if such a path is present, yielding a different store path non-deterministically.
-
-  To fix this non-deterministic evaluation bug, we needed to break derivation hash stability, so some Nix evaluations now produce different results than previous versions of Lix.
-  Lix now has consistent behaviour with CppNix 2.24 with respect to `file` flake inputs: they are *always* recursively hashed.

-- Builders are always started in a fresh cgroup namespace [cl/1996](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1996)
-
-  If you haven't enabled the experimental `cgroups` feature, Nix previously launched builder processes in new namespaces but did not create new cgroup namespaces. As a result, derivations could access and observe the parent cgroup namespace.
-
-  Although this update introduces a breaking change, it ensures that all derivations now start in a fresh cgroup namespace by default. This reduces potential impurities observable within the sandbox, improving the likelihood of reproducible builds across different environments.
-
-  Many thanks to [Raito Bezarius](https://git.lix.systems/raito) for this.

-- `nix-instantiate --parse` outputs json [fj#487](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/487) [nix#11124](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11124) [nix#4726](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4726) [nix#3077](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3077) [cl/2190](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2190)
-
-  `nix-instantiate --parse` does not print out the AST in a Nix-like format anymore.
-  Instead, it now prints a JSON representation of the internal expression tree.
-  Tooling should not rely on the stdout of `nix-instantiate --parse`.
-
-  We've done our best to ensure that the new behavior is as compatible with the old one as possible.
-  If you depend on the old behavior in ways that are not covered anymore or are otherwise negatively affected by this change,
-  then please reach out so that we can find a sustainable solution together.

-- Remove experimental repl-flake [gh#10103](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10103) [fj#557](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/557) [gh#10299](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10299) [cl/2147](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2147)
-
-  The `repl-flake` experimental feature flag has been removed, its functionality is now the default when `flakes` experimental feature is active. The `nix repl` command now works like the rest of the new CLI in that `nix repl {path}` now tries to load a flake at `{path}` (or fails if the `flakes` experimental feature isn't enabled).

-## Features
-
-- `lix foo` now invokes `lix-foo` from PATH [cl/2119](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2119)
-
-  Lix introduces the ability to extend the Nix command line by adding custom
-  binaries to the `PATH`, similar to how Git integrates with other tools. This
-  feature allows developers and end users to enhance their workflow by
-  integrating additional functionalities directly into the Nix CLI.
-
-  #### Examples
-
-  For example, a user can create a custom deployment tool, `lix-deploy-tool`, and
-  place it in their `PATH`. This allows them to execute `lix deploy-tool`
-  directly from the command line, streamlining the process of deploying
-  applications without needing to switch contexts or use separate commands.
-
-  #### Limitations
-
-  For now, autocompletion is supported to discover new custom commands, but the
-  documentation will not render them. Argument autocompletion of the custom
-  command is not supported either.
-
-  This is also locked behind a new experimental feature called
-  `lix-custom-sub-commands` to enable developing all the required features.
-
-  Only the top-level `lix` command can be extended, this is an artificial
-  limitation for the time being until we flesh out this feature.
-
-  #### Outline
-
-  In the future, this feature may pave the way for moving the Flake subcommand
-  line to its own standalone binary, allowing for a more focused approach to
-  managing Nix Flakes while letting the community explore alternatives to
-  dependency management.
-
-  Many thanks to [Raito Bezarius](https://git.lix.systems/raito) for this.

-- `nix-env --install` now accepts a `--priority` flag [cl/2607](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2607)
-
-  `nix-env --install` now has an optional `--priority` flag.
-
-  Previously, it was only possible to specify a priority by adding a
-  `meta.priority` attribute to a derivation. `meta` attributes only exist during
-  eval, so that wouldn't work for installing a store path. It was also possible
-  to change a priority after initial installation using `nix-env --set-flag`,
-  however if there is already a conflict that needs to be resolved via priorities,
-  this will not work.
-
-  Now, a priority can be set at install time using `--priority`, which allows for
-  cleanly overriding the priority at install time.
-
-  #### Example
-
-  ```console
-  $ nix-build
-  $ nix-env --install --priority 100 ./result
-  ```

-- Add support for eBPF USDT/dtrace probes inside Lix [fj#727](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/727) [cl/2884](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2884)
-
-  eBPF tracers like `bpftrace` and `dtrace` are a group of similar tools for debugging production systems.
-  User-space statically defined tracing probes (USDT) allow for defining zero or near-zero disabled-probe-effect probes, thus allowing instrumentation of hot paths in production builds.
-  Lix now has internal support for defining these probes and has shipped its first probe.
-
-  As of this writing it is available by default in the Linux build of Lix.
-
-  To try it out on Linux, you can use the following example command:
-
-  ```
-  $ sudo bpftrace -l 'usdt:/path/to/liblixstore.so:*:*'
-  usdt:/path/to/liblixstore.so:lix_store:filetransfer__read
-
-  $ sudo bpftrace -e 'usdt:*:lix_store:filetransfer__read { printf("%s read %d\n", str(arg0), arg1); }'
-  Attaching 1 probe...
-  https://cache.nixos.org/wvpzaycmvs39h5bcsfrxkjsg48mj4h73.narinf.. read 8192
-  https://cache.nixos.org/wvpzaycmvs39h5bcsfrxkjsg48mj4h73.narinf.. read 8192
-  https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1qshsc30nlarzdig0v9b1aasdkwaxhnv0a0.. read 65536
-  https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1qshsc30nlarzdig0v9b1aasdkwaxhnv0a0.. read 65536
-  ```
-
-  Note that bpftrace does not offer any way to list the arguments to USDT probes in a human readable form.
-  To get the probe definitions, see the `*.d` files in the Lix source code, for example, `lix/libstore/trace-probes.d`.
-
-  For more resources on eBPF/bpftrace and dtrace, see:

-## Improvements
-
-- Always print `post-build-hook` logs [fj#675](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/675) [cl/2801](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2801)
-
-  Logs of `post-build-hook` are now printed unconditionally.
-  They used to be tied to whether print-build-logs is set, which made debugging them a nightmare when they fail, since the failure output would be eaten if build logs are disabled.
-  Most usages of `post-build-hook` are pretty quiet especially compared to build logs, so it should not be that bothersome to not be able to turn off.
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-
-- Crashes land in syslog now [cl/2640](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2640)
-
-  When Lix crashes with unexpected exceptions and in some other conditions, it prints bug reporting instructions.
-  Previously, these only landed in stderr and not in syslog.
-  However, on larger Lix installations, it may be the case that Lix crashes in the client without the logs landing in the system logs, which impeded diagnosis.
-
-  Now, such crashes always land in syslog too.
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-
-- Deletion of specific paths no longer fails fast [cl/2778](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2778)
-
-  `nix-store --delete` and `nix store delete` now continue deleting
-  paths even if some of the given paths are still live. An error is only
-  thrown once deletion of all the given paths has been
-  attempted. Previously, if some paths were deletable and others
-  weren't, the deletable ones would be deleted iff they preceded the
-  live ones in lexical sort order.
-
-  The error message for still-live paths no longer reports the paths
-  that could not be deleted, because there could potentially be many of
-  these.
-
-  Many thanks to [lheckemann](https://git.lix.systems/lheckemann) for this.
-
-- `--skip-live` for path deletion [cl/2778](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2778)
-
-  `nix-store --delete` and `nix store delete` now support a
-  `--skip-live` option and a `--delete-closure` option.
-
-  This makes custom garbage-collection logic a lot easier to implement
-  and experiment with:
-
-  - Paths known to be large can be thrown at `nix store delete` without
-    having to manually filter out those that are still reachable from a
-    root, e.g.
-    `nix store delete /nix/store/*mbrola-voices*`
-
-  - The `--delete-closure` option allows extending this to paths that are
-    not large themselves but do have a large closure size, e.g.
-    `nix store delete /nix/store/*nixos-system-gamingpc*`.
-
-  - Other heuristics like atime-based deletion can be applied more
-    easily, because `nix store delete` once again takes over the task of
-    working out which paths can't be deleted.
-
-  Many thanks to [lheckemann](https://git.lix.systems/lheckemann) for this.
-
-- Allow `nix store diff-closures` to output JSON [cl/2360](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2360)
-
-  Add the `--json` option to the `nix store diff-closures` command to allow users to collect diff information into a machine readable format.
-
-  ```bash
-  $ build/lix/nix/nix store diff-closures --json /run/current-system /nix/store/n1prick95pihd4lkv58nn3pzg1yivcdb-neovim-0.10.4/bin/nvim | jq | head -n 23

-- Show all missing and unexpected arguments in erroneous function calls [cl/2477](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2477)
-
-  When calling a function that expects an attribute set, lix will now show all
-  missing and unexpected arguments.
-  e.g. with `({ a, b, c } : a + b + c) { a = 1; d = 1; }` lix will now show the error:
-  ```
-  [...]
-  error: function 'anonymous lambda' called without required arguments 'b' and 'c' and with unexpected argument 'd'
-  [...]
-  ```
-  Previously lix would just show `b`.
-  Furthermore lix will now only suggest arguments that aren't yet used.
-  e.g. with `({ a?1, b?1, c?1 } : a + b + c) { a = 1; d = 1; e = 1; }` lix will now show the error:
-  ```
-  [...]
-  error: function 'anonymous lambda' called with unexpected arguments 'd' and 'e'
-         at «string»:1:2:
-              1| ({ a?1, b?1, c?1 } : a + b + c) { a = 1; d = 1; e = 1; }
-               |  ^
-         Did you mean one of b or c?
-  ```
-  Previously lix would also suggest `a`.
-  Suggestions are unfortunately still currently just for the first missing argument.

-- REPL improvements [cl/2319](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2319) [cl/2320](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2320) [cl/2321](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2321)
-
-  The REPL has seen various minor improvements:
-
-  - Variable declarations have been improved, making copy-pasting code from attrsets a lot easier:
-    - Declarations can now optionally end with a semicolon
-    - Multiple declarations can be done within one command, separated by semicolon
-    - The `foo.bar = "baz";` syntax from attrsets is also supported, however without the attrset merging rules and with restrictions on dynamic attrs like in `let` bindings.
-    - Variable names now use the proper Nix grammar rules, instead of a regex that only vaguely matched legal identifiers.
-  - Better error messages overall
-  - The `:env` command to print currently available variables now also works outside of debug mode
-  - Adding variables to the REPL now prints a small message on success
-

-- Consistently use SRI hashes in hash mismatch errors [cl/2868](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2868)
-
-  Previously there were a few weird cases (flake inputs, e.g., among others) where Lix would print the old Nix base-32 hash format (sha256:abcd...) rather than the newer [SRI base64 format](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity) (sha256-AAAA...) that is used in most Lix hash mismatch errors.
-  This made it annoying to compare them to hashes shown by most of the modern UI surface of Lix which uses SRI.
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-
-- Allow specifying ports for remote ssh[-ng] stores [cl/2432](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2432)
-
-  You can now specify which port should be used for a remote ssh store (e.g. for remote/distributed builds) through a uri parameter.
-  E.g., when a remote builder `foo` is listening on port `1234` instead of the default, it can be specified like this `ssh://foo?port=1234`.
-
-  Many thanks to [seppel3210](https://github.com/Seppel3210) for this.
-
-- Implicit `__toString` now have stack trace entries [cl/3055](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3055)
-
-  Coercion of attribute sets to strings via their `__toString` attribute now produce stack
-  frames pointing to the coercion site and the attribute definition. This makes locating a
-  coercion function error easier as the fault location is now more likely to be presented.
-
-  Previously:
-  ```
-  nix-repl> builtins.substring 1 1 "${{ __toString = self: throw ''bar''; }}"
-  error:
-         … while calling the 'substring' builtin
-           at «string»:1:1:

-## Fixes
-
-- Avoid unnecessarily killing processes for the build user's UID [nix#9142](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9142) [fj#667](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/667)
-
-  We no longer kill all processes under the build user's UID before and after
-  builds on Linux with sandboxes enabled.
-
-  This avoids unrelated processes being killed. This might happen for instance,
-  if the user is running Lix inside a container, wherein the build users use the same UIDs as the daemon's.

-
-- Forbid impure path accesses in pure evaluation mode again [cl/2708](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2708)
-
-  Lix 2.92.0 mistakenly started allowing the access to ancestors of allowed paths in pure evaluation mode.
-  This made it possible to bypass the purity restrictions, for example by copying arbitrary files to the store:
-  ```nix
-  builtins.path {
-    path = "/";
-    filter = …;
-  }
-  ```
-  Restore the previous behaviour of prohibiting such impure accesses.

-- Ctrl-C works correctly on macOS again [fj#729](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/729) [cl/3066](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3066)
-
-  Due to a kernel bug in macOS's `poll(2)` implementation where it would forget about event subscriptions, our detection of closed connections in the Lix daemon didn't work and left around lingering daemon processes.
-  We have rewritten that thread to use `kqueue(2)`, which is what the `poll(2)` implementation uses internally in the macOS kernel, so now Ctrl-C on clients will reliably terminate daemons once more.
-
-  This FD close monitoring has had the highest Apple bug ID references per line of code anywhere in the project, and hopefully not using poll anymore will stop us hitting bugs in poll.

-- Fetch peer PID for daemon connections on macOS [fj#640](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/640) [cl/2453](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2453)
-
-  `nix-daemon` will now fetch the peer PID for connections on macOS, to match behavior with Linux.
-  Besides showing up in the log output line, If `nix-daemon` is given an argument (such as `--daemon`)
-  that argument will be overwritten with the peer PID for the forked process that handles the connection,
-  which can be used for debugging purposes.

-- Test group membership better on macOS [gh#5885](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5885) [cl/2566](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2566)
-
-  `nix-daemon` will now test group membership better on macOS for `trusted-users` and `allowed-users`.
-  It not only fetches the peer gid (which fixes `@staff`) but it also asks opendirectory for group
-  membership checks instead of just using the group database, which means nested groups (like `@_developer`)
-  and groups with synthesized membership (like `@localaccounts`) will work.
-

-- `nix store delete` no longer builds paths [cl/2782](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2782)
-
-  `nix store delete` no longer realises the installables

-  store delete` started to fail when trying to delete a path that was
-  still referenced by other paths, even if the referrers were not
-  reachable from any GC roots. The old behaviour, where attempting to
-  delete a store path would also delete its referrer closure, is now
-  restored.

-- Add a straightforward way to detect if in a Nix3 Shell [nix#6677](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6677) [nix#3862](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3862) [cl/2090](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2090)
-
-  Running `nix shell` or `nix develop` will now set `IN_NIX_SHELL` to
-  either `pure` or `impure`, depending on whether `--ignore-environment`
-  is passed. `nix develop` will always be an impure environment.

-
-  Internal changes in 2.92 caused `nix config show --json` to show deprecated and experimental features not as the list of named features 2.91 and earlier produced, but as integers. This has been fixed.

-- `builtins.fetchTree` is no longer visible in `builtins` when flakes are disabled [cl/2399](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2399)
-
-  `builtins.fetchTree` is the foundation of flake inputs and flake lock files, but is not fully specified in behaviour, which leads to regressions, behaviour differences with CppNix, and other unfun times.
-  It's gated behind the `flakes` experimental feature, but prior to now, would throw an uncatchable error at runtime when used without the `flakes` feature enabled.
-  Now it's like other builtins which are experimental feature gated, where it is not visible without the relevant feature enabled.
-
-  This fixes a bug in using Eelco Dolstra's version of flake-compat on Lix (and a divergence with CppNix): https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/issues/66

-- fix usage of `builtins.filterSource` and `builtins.path` with the filter argument when using chroot stores [nix#11503](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11503)
-
-  The semantics of `builtins.filterSource` (and the `filter` argument for
-  `builtins.path`) have been adjusted regarding how paths inside the Nix store
-  are handled.
-
-  Previously, when evaluating whether a path should be included, the filtering
-  function received the **physical path** if the source was inside the chroot store.
-
-  Now, it receives the **logical path** instead.
-
-  This ensures consistency in path handling and avoids potential
-  misinterpretations of paths within the evaluator, which led to various fallouts
-  mentioned in <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/369694>.

-
-  Failure to parse `flake.lock` no longer hard-crashes Lix and instead produces a nice error message.

-- Flakes follow `--eval-system` where it makes sense [fj#673](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/673) [fj#692](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/692) [gh#11359](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11359) [cl/2657](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2657)
-
-  Most flake commands now follow `--eval-system` when choosing attributes to build/evaluate/etc.
-
-  The exceptions are commands that actually run something on the local machine:
-  - nix develop
-  - nix run
-  - nix upgrade-nix
-  - nix fmt
-  - nix bundle
-
-  This is not a principled approach to cross compilation or anything, flakes still impede rather than support cross compilation, but this unbreaks many remote build use cases.

-- Remove some gremlins from path garbage collection [fj#621](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/621) [fj#524](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/524) [cl/2465](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2465) [cl/2387](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2387)
-
-  Path garbage collection had some known unsoundness issues where it would delete things improperly and cause desynchronization between the filesystem state and the database state.
-  Now Lix tolerates better if such a condition exists by not failing the entire GC if a path fails to delete.
-  We also fixed a bug in our file locking implementation that is one possible root cause, but may not be every root cause.

-- Show illegal path references in fixed-outputs derivations [fj#530](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/530) [cl/2726](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2726)
-
-  The error created when referencing a store path in a Fixed-Output Derivation is now more verbose, listing the offending paths.
-  This allows for better pinpointing where the issue might be.
-
-  An offender is the following derivation:
-
-  ```nix
-  pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
-    name = "illegal-fod";
-
-    dontUnpack = true;
-    dontBuild = true;
-
-    installPhase = ''
-      cp -R ${pkgs.hello} $out
-    '';
-
-    outputHashMode = "recursive";
-    outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
-    outputHash = pkgs.lib.fakeHash;
-  }
-  ```
-
-  The previous error shown would have been:
-
-  ```
-  error: illegal path references in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/rpq4m1y79s2nhs1hj7k47yiyykxykiqa-illegal-fod.drv'
-  ```
-
-  and is now:
-
-  ```
-  error: the fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/rpq4m1y79s2nhs1hj7k47yiyykxykiqa-illegal-fod.drv' must not reference store paths but 2 such references were found:

-           /nix/store/wn7v2vhyyyi6clcyn0s9ixvl7d4d87ic-glibc-2.40-36

-
-  Lix no longer crashes when it receives invalid JSON. Instead it'll point to the syntax error and give some context about what happened, for example
-
-  ```

-  to a URL that contains a `lastModified` field:
-
-  ```
-  error: input attribute 'lastModified' is not an integer

-- Fix `--debugger --ignore-try` [cl/2440](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2440)
-
-  When in debug mode (e.g. from using the `--debugger` flag), enabling [`ignore-try`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-ignore-try) once again properly disables debug REPLs within [`builtins.tryEval`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-tryEval) calls. Previously, a debug REPL would be started as if `ignore-try` was disabled, but that REPL wouldn't actually be in debug mode, and upon exiting the REPL the evaluating process would segfault.

-- Don't consider a path with a specified rev to be `locked` [cl/2064](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2064)
-
-  Until now it was allowed to do e.g.
-
-      $ 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"; }
-      $ cat /nix/store/lhfz259iipmv9ky995rml8018jvriynh-source
-      lalala
-
-  because any kind of input with a `rev` specified is considered to be locked.
-
-  With this change, inputs of type `path`, `indirect` and `tarball` are no longer
-  considered locked with a rev, but no hash specified.
-
-  This behavior was changed in
-  [CppNix 2.21 as well](https://github.com/nixos/nix/commit/071dd2b3a4e6c0b2106f1b6f14ec26e153d97446) as well.

-- Fix macOS sandbox profile size errors [fj#752](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/752) [fj#718](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/718) [cl/2861](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2861)
-
-  Fixed an issue on macOS where the sandbox profile could exceed size limits when building derivations with many dependencies. The profile is now split into multiple allowed sections to stay under the interpreter's limits.
-
-  This resolves errors like
-
-  ```
-  error: (failed with exit code 1, previous messages: sandbox initialization failed: data object length 65730 exceeds maximum (65535)|failed to configure sandbox)
-
-         error: unexpected EOF reading a line

-- Fix interference of the multiline progress bar with output [cl/2774](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2774)
-
-  In some situations, the progress indicator of the multiline progress bar would interfere with persistent output.
-  This would result in progress bar headers being visible in place of the desired text, for example the outputs shown after a `:b` command in the repl.
-  The underlying ordering issue has been fixed, so that the undesired interference does not happen any more.

-- Paralellise `nix store sign` using a thread pool [fj#399](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/399) [cl/2606](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2606)
-
-  `nix store sign` with a large collection of provided paths (such as when using with `--all`) has historically
-  signed these paths serially. Taking extreme amounts of time when preforming operations such as fixing binary
-  caches. This has been changed. Now these signatures are performed using a thread pool like `nix store copy-sigs`.

-
-  If one is using `post-build-hook` to upload paths to a cache, it used to be broken if CppNix was used inside the script, since CppNix would fail about unsupported configuration option values in some of Lix's defaults.
-  This is because `post-build-hook` receives the settings of the nix daemon in the `NIX_CONFIG` environment variable.
-  Now Lix only emits overridden settings to `post-build-hook` invocations, which fixes this issue in the majority of cases: where the configuration is not explicitly incompatible.
-
-  Many thanks to [jade](https://git.lix.systems/jade) for this.
-
-- Remove lix-initiated ssh connection sharing [fj#304](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/304) [fj#644](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/644) [cl/3005](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3005)
-
-  Lix no longer explicitly requests ssh connection sharing (ControlMaster/ControlPath SSH
-  options, see also ssh_config(5) man page) when connecting to remote stores.  This may
-  impact command latency when `NIX_REMOTE` is set to a `ssh://` or `ssh-ng://` url, or if
-  `--store` is specified. Remote build connections did not use ssh connection sharing.
-
-  Connection sharing configuration is now inherited from user configuration at all times. It
-  is now advisable to configure connection sharing for remote builders for improved latency.

-- Add `nix_plugin_entry` entry point for plugins [fj#740](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/740) [fj#359](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/359) [gh#8699](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8699) [cl/2826](https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/2826)
-
-  Plugins are an exceptionally rarely used feature in Lix, but they are important as a prototyping tool for code destined for Lix itself, and we want to keep supporting them as a low-maintenance-cost feature.
-  As part of the overall move towards getting rid of static initializers for stability and predictability reasons, we added an explicit `nix_plugin_entry` function like CppNix has, which is called immediately after plugin load, if present.
-  This makes control flow more explicit and allows for easily registering things that have had their static initializer registration classes removed.
