untypequicodeandClaude Sonnet 5.5 947b513163 Add a Nix flake (NixOS, GNOME and Hyprland)
Builds the desktop app and the CLI from source with `nix build`, and offers
packages, an overlay, `nix run`, a dev shell and a formatting check.

- Cargo.lock drives the dependencies (git sources via allowBuiltinFetchGit).
- Installs the desktop file, hicolor icons, MIME types and AppStream metadata
  from packaging/linux/, validated at build time.
- Wraps the binaries so the dlopen'd libraries (libwayland-client,
  libxkbcommon(-x11), X11, Vulkan loader, libEGL, libdbus for the portal file
  chooser) are found on NixOS: native Wayland on GNOME and Hyprland, X11 as
  fallback.
- Fonts from storytold/craft-fonts are pinned to the release workflow's revision
  where the app embeds them.
- doCheck is off (the suite needs corpora and a GPU); `nix build` was verified.

# DesignCraft — the desktop app (`designcraft`) and the CLI/MCP server (`designcraft-cli`), built from this
# repository:
#
# nix build # → ./result/bin/designcraft, ./result/bin/designcraft-cli
#
# Kept in step with the release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml) and packaging/:
# * `Cargo.lock` drives the dependencies (`cargoLock`), so there is no vendorHash to bump. The
# git sources (storytold/craft-libs) are fetched at the revision the lock file pins;
# * the desktop file, hicolor icons, MIME types and AppStream metadata are the same files the
# .deb/.rpm ship (packaging/linux/), so `apt` and NixOS users see one identical DesignCraft;
# * `CRAFT_FONTS_DIR` embeds the fonts from storytold/craft-fonts (the `craft-fonts` flake input, pinned to
# the revision the release workflow uses); without it everything builds and runs, but some
# scripts (e.g. Japanese, Chinese) have no glyphs;
# * `doCheck` is off: the test suite needs corpora and a GPU the Nix sandbox cannot provide
# (`cargo xtask ci` is the gate). `pkgs.designcraft.overrideAttrs { doCheck = true; }` runs it.
#
# Everything in the product is pure Rust, so this needs no build system beyond cargo plus the
# libraries winit/wgpu `dlopen` at run time (see `runtimeLibs`).
#
# Desktop sessions: the window opens natively on Wayland (GNOME/Mutter, Hyprland and other
# wlroots-style compositors) and falls back to X11/XWayland. File dialogs go through
# xdg-desktop-portal, so the session needs a portal backend: GNOME ships one
# (`xdg-desktop-portal-gnome`); on Hyprland enable
# xdg.portal = { enable = true; extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ]; };
# next to `programs.hyprland.enable = true;`.
