Install Nix in the Claude Code web sandbox (the cloud environment) as a general-purpose package installer, then install packages from the Nix binary cache with no GitHub access. Use whenever a web session needs a tool that isn't preinstalled and isn't in a language registry (npm/pypi/crates/go) — Neovim, ripgrep, a compiler, anything in nixpkgs. Installs nix-bin via apt, configures single-user mode, and installs packages via nix-env against the nixpkgs channel tarball. Web-sandbox only.
