+# services/prebuild.nix — nightly pre-build of the Macbook's system closure.
+#
+# The Macbook runs with max-jobs = 0 and offloads every build to this host
+# (nix.buildMachines in common.nix). Realising its toplevel here ahead of time
+# turns `update` on the laptop into a pure copy: the offloaded build finds the
+# path already in this store and just ships it back over SSH.
+#
+# --out-link doubles as the gc root, so `clean` doesn't reap the closure
+# before the laptop ever asks for it.
