Common Commands

Build and switch the system:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#tal-pc

Switch the Home Manager profile:

home-manager switch --flake .#tal@tal-pc

Evaluate checks without building:

Workaround Tracking

Temporary fixes and compatibility shims use WORKAROUND(YYYY-MM-DD), where the date is the last review date. Find everything due for periodic re-testing with:

rg -n 'WORKAROUND\(' --glob '*.nix'

When reviewing a marker, remove the workaround if it is no longer needed or update the date after confirming that the underlying issue still exists.
