nixos-init
- Treat /etc/nixos as the deployed copy of this repository.
- Read flake.nix, nix/settings.nix, nix/system, nix/hosts, btrc, and tests before changing behavior.
- Prefer existing module boundaries and settings patterns over new abstractions.
- For BTRC, use stdlib helpers, f-strings, structured parsers, and direct shell helpers where they make code simpler.
- Do not reintroduce live immutability baseline recapture during nixosctl update. Immutability recovery belongs in boot/initrd paths and simulator coverage.
- Verify disk, boot, recovery, and immutability changes with targeted Nix evals and simulator tests for x86_64 and aarch64 when feasible.
