Configuring NixOS Systems with Flakes

Configure NixOS systems with flakes, manage overlays properly, and structure configurations for maintainability.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Read Before Making Changes

BEFORE making ANY NixOS configuration changes, you MUST:

1. Review relevant rule files from the Quick Reference below
2. Check common-mistakes.md to avoid known pitfalls
3. Check troubleshooting.md for systematic debugging approach
4. Follow existing patterns in the codebase

Do NOT start coding until you've read the applicable documentation.

Most configuration errors happen from not reading the rules first. The 5 minutes you spend reading will save hours of debugging.
