I hope someone is security scanning all those NixOS provider modules.
I wonder if Claude could go from NixOS spec to actual config without the Nixos provider. The provider becomes a natural language description and some links to the docs/source code and then a verifier is all you need.
How is that better than the nixos provider? The trouble is the links to the source code right?
With the hypothetical providerless NixOS you'd get new config settings the moment the source code changes, without resorting to extraConfig escape hatches.
