// This must remain 1.35 (Nix 2.18) forever in Lix, since the protocol has
// diverged in CppNix such that we cannot assign newer versions ourselves, the
// protocol is bad in design and implementation and Lix intends to replace it
// entirely.

not necessarily asking anyone to explain this to me, but if you happen to have a nice blog post somewhere discussing stuff around this topic, I'd love to read it. I'm assuming searching about the capn proto stuff is a reasonable proxy otherwise?

I'm trying to delete a misbehaving store-path.

➜  store nix store delete /nix/store/ld2j2mq254m77hwy22pyvrs861ap1374-glibc-locales-2.42-51 --ignore-liveness
this path will be fetched (0.00 MiB download, 222.42 MiB unpacked):
  /nix/store/ld2j2mq254m77hwy22pyvrs861ap1374-glibc-locales-2.42-51
0 store paths deleted, 0.00 MiB freed
error: ignore-liveness is not supported via the Lix daemon; try running the command again with `--store local` and as the user that owns the Nix store (usually root)

yet https://docs.lix.systems/manual/lix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-store-delete.html#opt-ignore-liveness . So docs probably need an update
