The lock rotted for two years unnoticed (#19) because build.yml only exercises the live channels via NIX_PATH and README users override the lock with follows. This workflow refreshes the pin every Monday, but pushes only after nix flake show and a package build prove the new lock works — a bad nixpkgs bump fails the run instead of landing on main. It reuses the NUR_PAT push and step-ci SSH signing plumbing from the test workflows, and the direct-push pattern goreleaser version bumps already use.

Follow-up to #19: the flake lock could rot for years without any signal, since
build.ymlonly exercises the live channels viaNIX_PATHand README users override the lock withfollows. This adds a scheduled workflow (Mondays 07:00 UTC, plusworkflow_dispatch) that runsnix flake updateand pushes the refreshed lock straight to main as a signed step-ci commit — the same direct-push pattern the goreleaser version bumps use, so no weekly PR to review. The push is gated:nix flake show(which forces evaluation of every package attribute, the exact thing a stale lock breaks) and anix build .#step-agentmust pass with the new lock first, so a bad nixpkgs bump fails the run instead of landing. It reuses the existingNUR_PATandSTEP_TRAVIS_CI_GH_*signing secrets from the test workflows.Validated with actionlint and zizmor locally (clean with the repo config); the workflow itself can only run post-merge — worth a
workflow_dispatchtrigger run once it lands.
