Thanks @VTimofeenko, that makes sense, but I’m failing to fix this as I don’t know how to replace the hmunstable that is for pkgs as you say (the one you’ll see above it in the configs below - that I copied from - was used for pkgs.unstable.mise, which I have working in home.nix but want to replace with a module so I can declare versions of languages etc).
When I try your solution (ignoring replacing hmunstable, I get:
error: The option `programs.rtx.enable' can no longer be used since it's been removed. The `rtx` package has been replaced by `mise`, please switch over to
using the options under `programs.mise.*` instead.
This is encouraging but the problem is, I am not refering to rtx anywhere in my configs. I previously did, but as the error says, mise is the new rtx.
Sidenote: Although everything works in my nix-darwin flake.nix > home manager home.nix setup (except the issue of this post), the only issue I’ve found so far is that there’s no Home Manager apps directory in /Applications or outside of /nix/store, which could be a sign I’ve stuffed something up. /Applications/Nix Apps exists, but is empty as I guess it’s only for nix-darwin installed modules, and I only have zsh installed that way. This could simply be a terminal permissions issue as I misclicked a terminal permission dialog when setting up the mac. Once I have this post’s issue fixed, I can look at doing a reset of macOS and reinstall of nix and my configs and hopefully everything will be fine. But if I’ve done something wrong (as you pointed out re my use of hmunstable), please correct me, and perhaps my configs will be fixed overall.
Here are all my paths and nix-darwin and home manager configs below:
~/.config/nix-darwin/flake.nix
~/.config/nix-darwin/nixpkgs/home.nix (home manager)
~/.config/nix-darwn/nixpkgs/pkgs-home-manager/modules-macos-active/
eg ~/.config/nix-darwn/nixpkgs/pkgs-home-manager/modules-macos-active/cli/mise/mise.nix
eg ~/.config/nix-darwn/nixpkgs/pkgs-home-manager/modules-macos-active/gui/firefox/firefox.nix
pkgs-home-manager and subdiretories are just for my organisational convenience and future admin by someone else for installing .nix home manager modules, and I’ll have a parallel directory pkgs-nix-darwin if I install any via it. I have zsh installed via it currently, but soon that will be moved to home manager with its own config.

This is mist likely a separate thing from the home-manager modules. Nuking MacOS to fix this would be a bit of an overkill IMHO.
