Right now allow_import_from_derivation is forced on via Home-Manager and hydra.conf but if setting it in flake.nix works, that would be more portable. It's possible the HM setting can go away but the hydra setting must stay.

Tested and the flake-local option doesn't work. Looks like an upstream issue with Stylix importing base16 colors from https://github.com/SenchoPens/base16.nix and only ~/.config/nix/nix.conf is respected (not even system-level /etc/nix.conf).

On NixOS machines this will be included automatically by modules/home/developer/nix.nix. On non-NixOS machines it's trivial enough to add manually, albeit annoying.
