this removes the rather janky did-you-mean-async poll loop we had so
far. sadly kj does not play well with pty file descriptors, so we do
have to add our own async input stream that does not eat pty EIO and
turns it into an exception. that's still a *lot* better than the old
code, and using a real even loop makes everything else easier later.

When `nix fmt` is called without an argument, Nix appends the "." argument before calling the formatter. The comment in the code is:
> Format the current flake out of the box
This also happens when formatting sub-folders.
This means that the formatter is now unable to distinguish, as an interface, whether the "." argument is coming from the flake or the user's intent to format the current folder. This decision should be up to the formatter.
Treefmt, for example, will automatically look up the project's root and format all the files. This is the desired behaviour. But because the "." argument is passed, it cannot function as expected.

These stack traces kind of suck for the reasons mentioned on the
CppTrace page here (no symbols for inline functions is a major one):
https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace
I would consider using CppTrace if it were packaged, but to be honest, I
think that the more reasonable option is actually to move entirely to
out-of-process crash handling and symbolization.
The reason for this is that if you want to generate anything of
substance on SIGSEGV or really any deadly signal, you are stuck in
async-signal-safe land, which is not a place to be trying to run a
symbolizer. LLVM does it anyway, probably carefully, and chromium *can*
do it on debug builds but in general uses crashpad:
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/debug/stack_trace_posix.cc;l=974;drc=82dff63dbf9db05e9274e11d9128af7b9f51ceaa;bpv=1;bpt=1
However, some stack traces are better than *no* stack traces when we get
mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the program. I've also
promoted the path for "mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the
program" to hard crash and generate a core dump because although there's
been some months since the last one of these, these are nonetheless
always *atrociously* diagnosed.
We can't improve the crash handling further until either we use Crashpad
(which involves more C++ deps, no thanks) or we put in the ostensibly
work in progress Rust minidump infrastructure, in which case we need to
finish full support for Rust in libutil first.

This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the
underlying source for more data.
In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a
response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or
call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to
decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop.
This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that
again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data
into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to
throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).

The legitimate output of `nix path-info` may visually interfere with the

already been performed before, so we can simply wipe the progress bar at this

See #496.
The core idea is to be able to do e.g.
nix-instantiate -A some-nonfree-thing --arg config.allowUnfree true
which is currently not possible since `config.allowUnfree` is
interpreted as attribute name with a dot in it.
In order to change that (probably), Jade suggested to find out if there
are any folks out there relying on this behavior.
For such a use-case, it may still be possible to accept strings, i.e.
`--arg '"config.allowUnfree"'.

When generating shell completions, no logging output should be visible because
it would destroy the shell prompt. Originally this was attempted to be done by
simply disabling the progress bar (ca946860ce),
since the situation is particularly bad there (the screen clearing required for
the rendering ends up erasing the shell prompt). Due to overlooking the
implementation of this hack, it was accidentally undone during a later change
(0dd1d8ca1c).
Since even with the hack correctly in place, it is still possible to mess up
the prompt by logging output (for example warnings for disabled experimental
features, or messages generated by `builtins.trace`), simply send it to the bit
bucket where it belongs. This was already done for bash and zsh
(9d840758a8), and it seems that fish was simply
missed at that time. The last trace of the no-longer-working and obsolete hack
is deleted too.

would be eating bytes and conform with any of the Nix sink stuff
(maybe FileHandle should be a Sink itself! but that's a later CL's

- Move the RetrieveRegularNARSink thing into store-api.cc, which is its
only usage, and fix it to actually do what it is stated to do: crash
if its invariants are violated.
It's, of course, used to erm, unpack single-file NAR files, generated

using a proper event loop basis we no longer have to worry about most of
the intricacies of poll(), or platform-dependent replacements for it. we
may even be able to use the event loop and its promise system for all of
our scheduling in the future. we don't do any real async processing yet,
this is just preparation to separate the first such change from the huge
api design difference with the async framework we chose (kj from capnp):
kj::Promise, unlike std::future, doesn't return exceptions unmangled. it
instead wraps any non-kj exception into a kj exception, erasing all type
information and preserving mostly the what() string in the process. this
makes sense in the capnp rpc use case where unrestricted exception types
can't be transferred, and since it moves error handling styles closer to
a world we'd actually like there's no harm in doing it only here for now

we're using boost::outcome rather than leaf or stl types because stl

everything into leaf-specific allocating wrappers, so outcome it is.

When the multi-line log format is enabled, the progress bar usually occupies
multiple lines on the screen. When stopping the progress bar, only the last
line was wiped, leaving all others visible on the screen. Erase all lines
belonging to the progress bar to prevent these leftovers.
Asking the user for input is theoretically affected by a similar issue, but
this is not observed in practice since the only place where the user is asked
(whether configuration options coming from flakes should be accepted) does not
actually have multiple lines on the progress bar. However, there is no real
reason to not fix this either, so let's do it anyway.

there's no reason to go through the event loop in these cases. returning

this is not ideal, but it's better than having this stuck in the worker
loop itself. setting ex on all failing goals is not problematic because
only toplevel goals can ever be observable, all the others are ignored.

this doesn't serve a great purpose yet except to confine construction of
goals to the stack frame of Worker::run() and its child frames. we don't
need this yet (and the goal constructors remain fully visible), but in a
future change that fully removes the current worker loop we'll need some
way of knowing which goals are top-level goals without passing the goals
themselves around. once that's possible we can remove visible goals as a
concept and rely on build result futures and a scheduler built upon them
Change-Id: Ia73cdeffcfb9ba1ce9d69b702dc0bc637a4c4ce6
whether goal errors are reported via the `ex` member or just printed to
the log depends on whether the goal is a toplevel goal or a dependency.
if goals are aware of this themselves we can move error printing out of
the worker loop, and since a running worker can only be used by running
goals it's totally sufficient to keep a `Worker::running` flag for this

Fixes:
- Identifiers starting with _ are prohibited
- Some driveby header dependency cleaning which wound up with doing some
extra fixups.
- Fucking C style casts, man. C++ made these 1000% worse by letting you
also do memory corruption with them with references.
- Remove casts to Expr * where ExprBlackHole is an incomplete type by
introducing an explicitly-cast eBlackHoleAddr as Expr *.
- An incredibly illegal cast of the text bytes of the StorePath hash
into a size_t directly. You can't DO THAT.
Replaced with actually parsing the hash so we get 100% of the bits
being entropy, then memcpying the start of the hash. If this shows
up in a profile we should just make the hash parser faster with a
lookup table or something sensible like that.
- This horrendous bit of UB which I thankfully slapped a deprecation
warning on, built, and it didn't trigger anywhere so it was dead
code and I just deleted it. But holy crap you *cannot* do that.
inline void mkString(const Symbol & s)
{
mkString(((const std::string &) s).c_str());
}
- Some wrong lints. Lots of wrong macro lints, one wrong
suspicious-sizeof lint triggered by the template being instantiated
with only pointers, but the calculation being correct for both
pointers and not-pointers.
- Exceptions in destructors strike again. I tried to catch the
exceptions that might actually happen rather than all the exceptions
imaginable. We can let the runtime hard-kill it on other exceptions
imo.

This avoids C++'s standard library regexes, which aren't the same
across platforms, and have many other issues, like using stack
so much that they stack overflow when processing a lot of data.
To avoid backwards and forward compatibility issues, regexes are
processed using a function converting libstdc++ regexes into Boost
regexes, escaping characters that Boost needs to have escaped, and
rejecting features that Boost has and libstdc++ doesn't.
Related context:
- Original failed attempt to use `boost::regex` in CppNix, failed due to
boost icu dependency being large (disabling ICU is no longer necessary
because linking ICU requires using a different header file,

- An attempt to use PCRE, rejected due to providing less backwards
compatibility with `std::regex` than `boost::regex`:

- Second attempt to use `boost::regex`, failed due to `}` regex failing

nixpkgs delivered us the untimely gift of a meson 1.5 upgrade, which
*does* make our lives easier by allowing us to delete wrap generation
code, but it does so at the cost of renaming all rust crates in such a
way that the wrap logic cannot tolerate the new names on the old meson
version 😭.
It also means that support burden for this is going to be atrocious
until we either give in and vendor meson 1.5 or we make a CI target for
it. Neither seems appealing, though the latter is not super absurd for
ensuring we don't break nixpkgs unstable.
This commit causes meson 1.5 to ignore the .wrap files in subprojects/
entirely (since they have the wrong names lol) and instead use
Cargo.lock, so it now hard-depends on our workspace reshuffling
improvement.
It also deletes the hack that we were using to get the sources of Cargo

I managed to trigger the issue by having the following inputs (shortened):
authentik-nix.url = "github:nix-community/authentik-nix";
authentik-nix.inputs.poetry2nix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
When evaluating this using

The issue we have here is that `authentik-nix/poetry2nix` was written
into the `overrideMap` which caused Nix to assume it's a new input and
tried to refetch it (#460) or errored out in pure mode
(nix-eval-jobs / Hydra).
The testcase unfortunately only involves checking for the output log
and makes sure that something *is* logged on the first fetch so that
the test doesn't rot when the logging changes since I didn't
