In the past, it tried direct access if it *could* [1] perform direct access. This solves a bunch of errors people had when they tried the cgroup feature and their scripts did not pass NIX_REMOTE=daemon manually (nixos-rebuild-ng, home-manager activation from a root systemd unit, etc.) To avoid looping infinitely while receiving daemon connections, we forcibly change the store URI when forking for a subdaemon to do direct access automatically, this doesn't break forward usecases where you point a daemon to another socket because we only change NIX_REMOTE="", NIX_REMOTE=daemon, NIX_REMOTE=auto to a local and direct access. All these usecases would end up infinitely looping no matter what settings are set, because we are also responsible for creating the daemon socket. [1]: this happened all the time if you were `root`.
