Describe the bug

Lix has been failing to build on Mac

Steps To Reproduce

nix build [my flake]

`nix --version` output

Additional context

Here is the output from the build. The meson-logs folder referenced in the output is not found in the filesystem after the build breaks. I'm happy to provide any other information that might be useful.

I believe this is this bug: #921

Try reverting your daemon version before running the build again; we chose to resolve that bug by changing the daemon, so the daemon that is causing this problem will not be able to build lixes. The fix is here: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3692
