im thinking of making the switch to colmena soon, but seeing the use of the function colmena.lib.mkHive worries me. will i still be able to access the raw nixosConfiguration closure in the flake's outputs?

the reason i ask is because nixos-anywhere reads nixosConfigurations.<name> when remote installing to a new machine, and id like to write the spec for each node/machine once in the flake and then have its NixOS configuration attribute set accessible

for example, with deploy-rs right now, i managed to write a helper function that allows me to define nodes like:

{
    deploy = {
      user = "root";
      sshUser = "root";
      nodes = self.armada.mkNodes {
        thinkpad = {
          hostname = "10.0.0.162";
          system = "x86_64-linux";
          modules = [
            ./modules/mc-server-host
            ./modules/cluster-server
            ./modules/starfish
          ];
        };
        t5 = {
          hostname = "10.0.0.249";
          system = "x86_64-linux";
          modules = [
            ./modules/cluster-agent
            ./modules/adguardhome
          ];
        };
        t4 = {
          hostname = "10.0.0.23";
          system = "x86_64-linux";
          modules = [
            ./modules/cluster-agent
          ];
        };
      };
    };

but this simply passes the inner arguments to lib.nixosSystem, which in turn gets passed to deploy.nodes.<name>.profiles.system.path. So this means I cannot access the "config" of thinkpad, for example

I'm having trouble deploying from amd64 to an arm64 machine. Seems like colmena build --on kaldir --build-on-target ignores both --build-on-target and colmena.kaldir.deployment.buildOnTarget properties. Any hints what could cause this?
