Pull Requests

Many files are generated. When you draft your changes, please separate out
commits that affect:

• Cargo.lock
• Cargo.nix
• flake.lock

Keeping these changes isolated in specific commits makes it much easier to pull
in your changes in parallel with other features. Maintainers may harvest your
changes. We only guarantee to preserve authorship in the git log (when we
remember to do so).

Creating pull requests

1. Fork this repository into the personal GitHub account
2. Select the appropriate branch, release- for stable changes, unstable
   for breaking changes
3. Make changes on the personal fork
4. Make a Pull Request against this repository
5. Allow maintainers to make changes to your pull request (there's a checkbox)
6. Once the pull request has been approved, you will be thanked and observe your
   changes applied with authorship preserved (if we remember)

Description

• Comprehensive Nixification of cargo2nix project: Introduced multiple flake configurations (flake.nix, flake-phase1.nix, flake-phase2.nix, full-flake.nix, flake-cargo2nix.nix) for reproducible Nix-based development and builds

• Git submodule infrastructure: Added 13 Git submodules pointing to meta-introspector forks on feature/CRQ-016-nixify branch for Rust ecosystem projects and dependencies

• Build automation: Created comprehensive Makefile with recursive submodule management, Nix build orchestration, and automated commit/push workflows

• Nix code formatting standardization: Reformatted multiple Nix files across overlays and examples with consistent indentation, leading comma style, and improved readability

• Dependency updates: Updated Cargo.toml with Git-based patch dependencies, upgraded cargo-platform and toml versions, and added [patch.crates-io] section for dependency overrides

• Bug fixes: Added handling for CfgExpr::True and CfgExpr::False variants in platform configuration; improved error messaging for missing version attributes

• Documentation and task definitions: Added conceptual mapping between elliptic curves and build systems, comprehensive task definitions for cargo-git-manage implementation, and build failure diagnostics

• Utility scripts: Created shell scripts for submodule processing, Nix build execution, cargo2nix executable discovery, and package introspection

• Test and example configurations: Added simple example project with flake configuration, test flakes for Rust toolchain and time-macros validation, and template files for reproducible builds
