//! The real [`Prefetch`]: `nix flake prefetch --json <url>`.
//!
//! The only process `blue lock` starts, and the reason it lives behind
//! `blue_lang_pkg::lock::Prefetch`: every test of the lock supplies canned
//! output instead, so none of them reaches the network. This file therefore
//! has no test of its own that runs nix; its output is read by
//! `blue_lang_pkg::lock::pin_of`, which is tested against the exact bytes this
//! command printed on nix 2.31.5.
//!
//! Direction, stated because it is the point: **blue calls nix, nix never calls
//! blue** — so pinning a source costs no import-from-derivation.
