Needs an overlay to patch Podman/CRI-O, see [Questions about implementing a `nix-snapshotter` clone for Podman · Issue #747 · containers/container-libs · GitHub](https://github.com/containers/container-libs/issues/747).  
A lot of this is LLM-generated, but I do understand most of the code.  
See [Nix-snapshotter: Native understanding of Nix packages for containerd](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-snapshotter-native-understanding-of-nix-packages-for-containerd/32696) for more context on why this exists.
