This happened while uninstalling to solve this other issue: #608

Before that:

• I uninstalled a previous nix installation
• I reinstalled using nix-installer
• ran my nix-darwin + home-manager flake: got the cert issue #608
• the solution for the issue involved uninstalling using nix-installer uninstall: got this issue

This is a new one. I wonder what's causing it...

Seeing this on my machine today, let me know if there's any diagnostics you'd like me to run.

Actually, after doing a little debugging on my own, this ended up being because I'd set my shell for terminal emulators to be ~/.nix-profile/bin/bash. Installing an alternative bash with homebrew, updating /etc/shells, and setting my terminal emulators to use that fixed the fact that securityd was locking the /nix partition here.
