Oh, I know what I forgot!
cgit

I upgraded <https://spectrum-os.org/git/> from cgit 1.2.1 to 1.2.3,
which involved bumping cgit in Nixpkgs[1].

Nix
---
This actually happened last week, but I forgot it then too. It also is
_technically_ not Spectrum work, but it's an issue with an important
Spectrum component that I found while working on Spectrum.
I found and fixed a denial-of-service issue in Nix that would let a
malicious derivation permanently break Nix store garbage collection
until the administrator manually intervened.
The commit message[2] has an extremely detailed write-up of what went
wrong. Thanks to puck for helping me with the reproduction and fix.
