The easiest reproducer (given a flake with an input named lix) is:

nix flake lock --override-input lix git+ssh://git@lix.systems/lix-project/lix

(don't ask how I managed to get to this btw!)

Lix stays completely silent until the SSH timeout is reached. You don't know what it's doing, if it's hanging or having a different issue. Showing some kind of connecting to X at the very least would be nice.

Behavior observed with 2.90.0pre20240510_4ebbd43.

fyi this is in the debug logs somewhere, it should just be identified and changed to info, probably.

it actually doesn't seem to be? we just ran that command with --debug and all it had to say on the matter is

computing input 'lix'
creating new input 'lix'

at which point it hangs
