+### Nix
+
+Build with Nix (no Rust toolchain required on the host):
+
+```bash
+nix build
+./result/bin/leaf --version
+```
+
+Enter the development shell — it provides the Rust toolchain, `pkg-config`, `oniguruma`, `cargo-watch`, and `cargo-edit`:
+
+```bash
+nix develop
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+Run the full check suite (build + clippy + rustfmt):
+
+```bash
+nix flake check
+```
+
