NixOS operations follows Nixpkgs master by full commit revision, with its own manifest and the same pinned Nix toolchain and master-ancestry check as nixpkgs-development. It bundles selected NixOS manual chapters (changing the configuration, upgrading, rollback, store cleaning, boot problems and service management). Links to NixOS options come from a reviewed map of option names, and resolve to each option’s declaring file, found by evaluating the NixOS options at the pinned revision. An unmapped, missing or unused option link fails the update for review. The provider reuses the nixpkgs-development manual converter unchanged. Its excerpts are covered by the Nixpkgs COPYING.
