I don't pretend I have nearly enough knowledge about the inner workings of nix-darwin but I was wondering if the /run symlink it adds to /etc/synthetic.conf is really necessary or if it wouldn't actually be more in the spirit of targetting darwin / macOS to directly refer to /private/var/run?

I'm mainly asking because the way /run is created also makes it so it can't be hidden from Finder either (sudo chflags -h hidden /run does not work because the symlink is part of the read-only root volume).

I'm not sure but I could have sworn there used to be a module option to disable (opt-out) the creation of /run. Check all the options, although maybe it got removed?

Unless it's not mentioned in Darwin Configuration Options it seems that one was removed.
