NixOs helix grammars re-downloaded at every boot
Summary
Hi,
when I use helix from the flake, with the following config
programs.helix = {
enable = true;
package = inputs.helix.packages.${pkgs.system}.default;
languages = {
...
every time I reboot the system I get that all tree sitter grammars are unpacked into the git cache. This doesn't happens in consecutives rebuilds, but only when I rebuild after rebooted the system.
I have impermanence configured that wipes the root, maybe I should persist something to let helix know that the grammars are already built?

Installation Method

Helix Version
helix 25.01.1 (f6878f62)
Looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/13636?
I also use impermanence but I don't see the same behavior. I keep Helix installed via the profile though (nix profile install path/to/helix).
Hi,
I read the issue but I dont think it is a duplicate, because after garbage collecting or rebooting the helix runtime still exists, and also the grammars folder is populated by the .so files. It happens only after reboot when i rebuild the sysyem that helix just unpack all the tree-sitter grammars 🤔 which takes around 4 minutes
As an addition,
It seems the problem doesn t happen in installation but during the unpacking, to have a better idea of what happens if somebody has an idea on what I could check to debug.
As you can see there is an unpacking of all tree-sitter grammars
