Research direction
Start by locating the manifest or dependency declarations for the sort command and the ctrlc crate, then inspect how nix is used and whether rustix already provides the required functionality. Confirm the dependency can be changed without breaking the relevant builds or tests; done means ctrlc no longer depends on nix and issue 9549 is unblocked.
