## Summary

Determinate Nix 3.21.0 is released, based on upstream Nix 2.34.6. Key additions include support for CNSA 1.0 and 2.0 signing algorithms (including post-quantum ML-DSA schemes) behind an experimental feature flag, a new built-in `nix serve` command for local binary cache testing, a lazily-evaluated `fetchTarball` built-in to avoid unnecessary store copies, and Buildkite authentication support for FlakeHub and FlakeHub Cache via JWTs. The release also includes the usual bug fixes and developer interface improvements.
