Add a note about lists values.md
...
There's probably more that can be said, but I thought it might be helpful to put something here about how to access elements of a list for folks coming from more or less any other programming language. If this is rarely used, it might be nice to add to the documentation something about why it's rarely used.

add clickable anchor links
...
how the different invocations relate to each other seems be
confusing, which is relatable because one has to wire it up in your head
while reading. an explicit reference should make it unambiguous and
easier to notice due to links being highlighted.

Disallow store path names that are . or .. (plus opt. -)
...
As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29.
Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and
treated as a file name, mostly to protect users.
.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.
What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.

Print the value in error: cannot coerce messages
...
This extends the `error: cannot coerce a TYPE to a string` message
to print the value that could not be coerced. This helps with debugging
by making it easier to track down where the value is being produced
from, especially in errors with deep or unhelpful stack traces.

Start standardizing hash algo flags

Do this if we want to do `--hash-algo` everywhere, and not `--algo` for
hash commands.
The new `nix hash convert` is updated. Deprecated new CLI commands are
left as-is (`nix hash path` needs to be redone and is also left as-is).

Document JSON formats
...
Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to
use them.
Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a
store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet
exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off
merging this now as is.
