Passthrough argument propagation
Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Remote workflows can evaluate a different derivation from the one implied by the caller's passthrough arguments, potentially building or deploying unintended configuration. The update path can also change lock-file state before a later phase fails, while trust-sensitive options now cross into remote execution. The PR should not merge until the evaluation-argument mismatch is fixed and the lock-file and remote-option behavior is explicitly accepted or constrained. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Possibly resolves #768
I've changed how we handle Nix commands a bit to ensure that passthrough and evaluation arguments are consistently applied in various build scenarios where I thought we were lacking correctness. It comes with the risk of inconsistent
--updateand--offlinecombination but since there is nothing that prevents the user from runningnix flake update && nix build ... --offlineI decided not to prevent this behaviour.
