tempDirectoryon/tmpdefeats the rename optimization.With
PrivateTmp = true,/tmpis typically a separate (often tmpfs) mount fromcacheDirectoryunder/var, so nginx must copy each completed NAR across filesystems instead ofrename()-ing it into the cache — extra I/O plus tmpfs memory pressure for large NARs. Defaulting the temp dir to a subdirectory ofcacheDirectory(ornull) avoids this. Noteflow.nixalready places both underflowContext.stateDir.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Access log path is provisioned only on the NixOS path. modules/configuration.nix hardcodes /var/log/nginx/access.log, which modules/default.nix satisfies via LogsDirectory = "nginx"; the Flow path provisions no such directory, and nginx refuses to start when it cannot open the access log.
modules/configuration.nix#L31-L31: parameterize the access log target (e.g. acfg.accessLogoption defaulting to/dev/stderr) instead of hardcoding the NixOS layout.flow.nix#L111-L116: either set the new option to a path underflowContext.stateDir/ journal, or extendpreStartScriptRootto create the log directory owned by the worker user.

In `@modules/configuration.nix` at line 31, The nginx access log target in
modules/configuration.nix must not be hardcoded to /var/log/nginx/access.log.
Add a configurable cfg.accessLog option with /dev/stderr as the default and use
it in the access_log directive; in flow.nix lines 111-116, configure that option
to a path under flowContext.stateDir or update preStartScriptRoot to create and
assign the required log directory to the worker user.
Documentation implies that sendfile, tcp_nopush, and aio options should be considered and configured together. Given the introduction of an alternative local-cache (satellite), I'm opting to punt this investigation and let nginx defualts prevail.
