specialArgs outside of flakes

But if you use _module.args, that’s part of a module, so another module could modify it, leading to an infinite recursion between trying to build up the imports list and said list depending on the modules it pulls in… I hope you see how that’s circular.

Thanks for additional context. My intuition does lead me to believe it would be circular, but I’ve had to somewhat stop relying on my intuition for what is circular when it comes to Nix and lazy evaluation, unfortunately. I’m sure it will get better with time. My first topic posted in this discourse was How is nixpkgs and the NixOS module system avoiding infinite recursion? (With specific code excerpt) - #5 by withakay haha.
