Currently it doesn't, and that requires extra steps in upgrade documents.

Also perhaps upgrade-nix should just hit the installer. Unsure.

we::horrors are convinced that upgrade-nix should not exist and be an installer feature instead. it's too much of a footgun, especially on systems that had nix installed via a different package manager, not the installer

yeah, it feels like possible miscommunication that we unbroke it rather than replacing it with an installer feature 🙃 i am very sorry @qyriad.

No problem! We assumed fixing upgrade-nix was temporary/interim while the installer feature wasn't a thing yet, so we knew we were fixing a feature that was not long for this world
