Summary

Building on Linux fails because the peekaboo plugin is enabled by default (plugins.peekaboo.enable = true), but peekaboo is macOS-only. This causes nix to try building peekaboo-macos-universal.tar.gz which requires aarch64-darwin.

Error

error: Cannot build '/nix/store/...-peekaboo-macos-universal.tar.gz.drv'.
       Reason: required system or feature not available
       Required system: 'aarch64-darwin' with features {}
       Current system: 'x86_64-linux' with features {benchmark, big-parallel, kvm, nixos-test}

Workaround

programs.clawdbot = {
  enable = true;
  firstParty.peekaboo.enable = false;
};

Suggested Fix

Either:

Default firstParty.enable to false on Linux (default = pkgs.stdenv.isDarwin)
Or default to false universally since it's a specialized tool

Also, summarize has the same issue - it defaults to true but tries to build summarize-macos-arm64-v0.9.0.tar.gz on Linux. Full workaround:

firstParty.peekaboo.enable = false;
firstParty.summarize.enable = false;

[🤖 this message brought to you by codex] should be fixed in 46df79cc (first-party plugin toggles default off). Closing for now — come and yell at me in #golden-path-deployments on discord if you're still having issues! Stability work continues; we are making this better every week.
