Using nom with nixos-rebuild, e.g.:

nixos-rebuild --log-format internal-json -v --use-remote-sudo switch --flake .#${HOSTNAME} -L |& nom --json

It eventually gets to a sudo prompt, but it can't be seen, because nix-output-monitor's tree is on top of it.

I believe this didn't used to be a problem, but I could be mistaken.

Yeah, I think the best fix for that is integrating nom into nixos-rebuild.

Ah, I guess the problem here is --json which means that non-json get’s ignored. But maybe we can work around that.

Besides this is a duplicate of #68.

Thanks, I'll follow that issue.
