The impending release of macOS 15 Sequoia will break many existing nix
installs on macOS, which may lead to an increased number of people who
are looking to try to reinstall Nix without noticing the open/pinned
issue (#10892) that explains the problem and outlines how to migrate
existing installs.
These admonitions are a short-term measure until we are over the hump
and support volumes dwindle.

When we're fetching by rev, that file doesn't necessarily exist, and we
don't care about it anyway.

On macOS, `mkdir("x/')` behaves differently than `mkdir("x")` if `x` is
a dangling symlink (the formed succeed while the latter fails). So make
sure we always strip the trailing slash.

The current backport action cannot automerge because
the github action bot does not trigger github CI actions.
Mergify instead does not have this limitation and can also
use a merge queue.
On top we have now a declarative configuration to allow
contributers to add new tests to required without having access
to the github org.
An example pull request and backport can be seen here:
https://github.com/Mic92/nix-1/pull/4
and here:
https://github.com/Mic92/nix-1/pull/5
To complete the setup the mergify app must be enabled for this repository.
It's already installed in the nixos organization for nixos-hardware and
other repositories.

downloadTarball() is used by `-I foo=<url>` etc. fetchToStore() needs
the accessor to have a fingerprint to enable caching.
Fixes#11271.

Starting in macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS daemon UIDs are encroaching on our
default UIDs of 301-332. This commit relocates our range up to avoid
clashing with the current UIDs of 301-304 and buy us a little time
while still leaving headroom for people installing more than 32 users.

This broke in #11005. Any number of PathSubstitutionGoals would
be woken up by a single build slot becoming available. If there
are a lot of substitution goals active, this could lead to us
running out of file descriptors (especially on macOS where the
default limit is 256).

In d60c3f7f7c, this was changed to close a
hole in the sandbox. Unfortunately, this was too restrictive such that it
made local port binding fail, thus making derivations that needed
`__darwinAllowLocalNetworking` gain nearly nothing, and thus largely
fail (as the primary use for it is to enable port binding).
This unfortunately does mean that a sandboxed build process can, in
coordination with an actor outside the sandbox, escape the sandbox by
binding a port and connecting to it externally to send data. I do not
see a way around this with my experimentation and understanding of the
(quite undocumented) macOS sandbox profile API. Notably it seems not
possible to use the sandbox to do any of:
- Restrict the remote IP of inbound network requests
- Restrict the address being bound to
As such, the `(local ip "*:*")` here appears to be functionally no
different than `(local ip "localhost:*")` (however it *should* be
different than removing the filter entirely, as that would make it also
apply to non-IP networking). Doing `(allow network-inbound (require-all
(local ip "localhost:*") (remote ip "localhost:*")))` causes listening
to fail.
Note that `network-inbound` implies `network-bind`.
