There was a problem hiding this comment.
If we go with this approach, then for human readability, it might be helpful if this step had a name.

That wouldn't work AFAICT, GitHub adds -e by default, see https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflows-and-actions/workflow-syntax#defaultsrunshell

The workflow is written in a way that if
nix-shellfails without changing any local file, the error is swallowed. E.g. in https://github.com/nodejs/node/actions/runs/23114271551/job/67137410705, the linter fails witherror: Build failed due to failed dependencybut the workflow exits as green.
