Summary
nix run github:NousResearch/hermes-agent -- setupfails on macOS withsphinx-9.1.0 not supported for interpreter python3.11. The nixpkgs pin ships sphinx 9.1 which dropped Python 3.11 support. On Linux this is masked by lazy evaluation — all deps have pre-built wheels so sphinx (a transitive build dep viactranslate2 → torch → ... → pyopenssl → sphinx-hook) is never forced. On darwin, some packages lack wheels and build from source, triggering the full build-dep chain.python311→python312acrosspython.nix,packages.nix,devShell.nixnixosModules.nixfrom 3.11 → 3.12pyarrowtoaarch64-darwinprebuilt overrides (fixes macOStest_orc.pyfailure reported by @dephiros in [Bug]: nix run fails — sphinx-9.1.0 not supported for python3.11 #9526)cross-evalNix check that evaluates the package derivation for all supported platforms from Linux CI — would have caught thisThanks to @dephiros for the report and macOS pyarrow finding. @boozedog also addressed this in #11621.
