It looks like on macos / is mounted as strict read only. Maybe it is possible to grant full disk access to the actions runner, but for now we couldn't install nix on these macos runners.

Ok, in this case, let's close this PR, since it doesn't change anything in runtime at all.
The nix in images is already verified inside the images, and doing it here doesn't look nice, since we don't install it here at all.

In the future, if we will make nix the environment manager, we'll have to use it for macOS as well, so we'll have to figure out how to make it work properly for our macOS runners.

if [[ "${{ matrix.container }}" =~ ghcr.io/xrplf/clio-ci ]]; then
nix --version

if [[ "${{ matrix.os }}" == "macos15" ]]; then
colima --version
docker --version
