Description
ofBorg apparently allows to run stuff with import-for-derivation, which is confusing, as in nixpkgs we don't allow IFD. Example when this happened:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/runs/56459739279

Research direction
Start by reviewing the reported run at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/runs/56459739279 and tracing how ofBorg handles import-for-derivation. Done means ofBorg no longer allows IFD in cases where nixpkgs disallows it, with behavior validated against an equivalent run.
