Supersedes PR #203's out-of-tree upstream-src layout now that the Nix build lives in the canonical repo. The flake treats `self` as the source of truth — nothing in flake.nix or psysonic.nix needs a manual version bump per release. flake.nix - `inputs.upstream-src` dropped; `src = self` throughout - Dev shell retains the full WebKitGTK / GStreamer / AppIndicator closure needed for tauri:dev on NixOS (Linux x86_64 + aarch64) nix/psysonic.nix - Version read from package.json (upstreamMeta.version removed) - `srcClean` filter excludes node_modules / dist / target / .git / result / .flatpak-builder - `cargoDeps = rustPlatform.importCargoLock` with empty `outputHashes` — sufficient for our local `[patch.crates-io]` path overrides (cpal-0.15.3, symphonia-format-isomp4) - Wraps the installed binary with LD_LIBRARY_PATH + GST_PLUGIN_PATH + GIO_EXTRA_MODULES + GDK_BACKEND=x11 + WebKit disable flags nix/upstream-sources.json - Reduced to `{ npmDepsHash }`. Placeholder for the initial commit; the verify-nix job rewrites it on every release from the actual `prefetch-npm-deps` output. .github/workflows/release.yml - New `verify-nix` job gated on `create-release` (same as the Tauri builds). Checks out `main`, installs Nix, recomputes `npmDepsHash`, refreshes `flake.lock`, runs `nix build .#psysonic --no-link` as the sanity check, then commits lock + hash updates back to `main` when they changed. - The old standalone `upstream-release-nix.yml` is intentionally not ported; its scheduled re-poll of the upstream release is redundant now that the source lives here. Tarball publishing and Cachix upload remain explicitly out of scope — those ship in a follow-up workflow tied to the cache setup.
