The change reduces error surface and aligns the API usage with actual invocation patterns.

September 2025 monthly summary for two repositories, focused on Nix build system modernization and formatting improvements. Delivered: tree-sitter/tree-sitter: Nix flake refactor consolidating package definitions and streamlining builds for CLI and library components, grammars, and web bindings (commit e4e643086bac54524eba0c215348ad4f56673d90). Leonidas-from-XIV/dune: Nix formatting modernization by applying the official nixpkgs formatter and migrating to nixfmt, replacing deprecated nixpkgs-fmt (commits 2ec32f55c89812250acb9513614e57d9e14829e1; 79c7cf3e25d9bb6bb027f04e79f86a8d2a8f831a). No explicit major bugs fixed this month; however, refactors and formatting updates reduce maintenance burden and lower risk of future build-time issues. Overall impact: improved reproducibility, consistency across teams, and readiness for faster feature delivery and CI alignment. Technologies demonstrated: Nix, Nix flake, nixfmt, nixpkgs formatter, and build-system modernization.
