Severity: low.

Every nixpkgs-* pin in flake.nix:9-21 resolves to the single rev via follows = "nixpkgs" (confirmed in flake.lock). So the per-host pinning apparatus currently provides zero divergence — it's a forcing function with no payload today, and the "drift protection" is therefore untested.

nixpkgs-projects/nixpkgs-ci are declared but consumed elsewhere.

Action: add a README note stating the uniformity is intentional (and pins exist so a single host can diverge when needed), so a future reader doesn't mistake it for dead structure.

**Severity: low.** Every `nixpkgs-*` pin in `flake.nix:9-21` resolves to the single rev via `follows = "nixpkgs"` (confirmed in `flake.lock`). So the per-host pinning apparatus currently provides zero divergence — it's a forcing function with no payload today, and the "drift protection" is therefore untested. `nixpkgs-projects`/`nixpkgs-ci` are declared but consumed elsewhere. **Action:** add a README note stating the uniformity is intentional (and pins exist so a single host *can* diverge when needed), so a future reader doesn't mistake it for dead structure.
