Container Development Client for Reproducible Artifacts
summary
A Lima VM template preinstalls Nix and Nix-snapshotter and runs a reproducible build workflow that produces separate dev and runtime OCI images, demonstrating deterministic hashes, efficient caching inside containerd, and lower CI resource use; first builds from source are slow but subsequent builds use content-addressable package caching and are much faster; the repo and VM work on macOS via Lima VM template and the project is published as build-safe for others to adopt.
