Environment Composition

Include Syntax

Compose environments via manifest.toml:

[include]
environments = [
  # FloxHub remote environments
  { remote = "bmorphism/effective-topos" },
  { remote = "flox/python-dev" },
  
  # Local environments (relative or absolute path)
  { dir = "../shared-tools" },
  { dir = "/Users/bob/.flox/environments/common" },
]

Merge Rules by Section

Priority Order

When composing [A, B, C]:

1. A is loaded first (lowest priority)
2. B overrides A for conflicts
3. C overrides both (highest priority)
4. Current manifest overrides all includes

Example: IES + effective-topos Composition

# ~/ies/.flox/env/manifest.toml
version = 1

[include]
environments = [
  { remote = "bmorphism/effective-topos" }  # guile, ghc, cargo
]

[install]
# IES-specific packages (merged with effective-topos)
babashka.pkg-path = "babashka"
julia-bin.pkg-path = "julia-bin"
ffmpeg.pkg-path = "ffmpeg"

[vars]
# Overrides effective-topos GAY_SEED if set there
GAY_SEED = "69"
GAY_PORT = "42069"

[hook]
on-activate = '''
  # Runs AFTER effective-topos hook
  echo "IES environment ready"
  echo "Gay seed: $GAY_SEED"
'''

[profile]
common = '''
  # Appended to effective-topos profile
  alias gaybb="bb gay.bb"
'''

Nested Composition

Environments can include environments that include other environments:

ies
 └── includes effective-topos
      └── includes flox/base-dev
           └── includes common-tools

Merge proceeds depth-first, left-to-right.
