Conversation
Simplify flake.nix by removing flake-parts and using standard nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs pattern instead. The devShell configuration is simple enough that flake-parts adds unnecessary complexity. - Remove flake-parts input - Use forAllSystems helper with genAttrs - Maintain identical functionality

The systems list is missing "x86_64-darwin" (Intel macOS). This system is commonly supported in Nix flakes alongside the three systems listed here. Consider adding it to maintain broader compatibility, especially if users on Intel Macs need to use this development shell.

Summary
nixpkgs.lib.genAttrspattern for multi-system supportRationale
The devShell configuration is simple enough that flake-parts adds unnecessary complexity. Using the standard Nix pattern reduces dependencies without losing any functionality.
Test plan
nix developand verify the shell works correctlySummary by cubic
Removed flake-parts and switched to nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs to generate devShells across systems. Functionality stays the same, with a simpler flake.
