This commit introduces a Nix flake to manage the C development environment for AnsiLove. It includes the necessary dependencies like `cmake`, `ninja`, `pkg-config`, `clang`, `libansilove`, `gd`, `zlib`, and `libpng`. The `devShells.default` is configured to set up `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` and `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` for proper dependency discovery.

Summary
nix developshell that carries the right libs and toolchain with zero system deps.nix run/nix buildentry points so downstreams (or CI) can fetch and execute the CLI without cloning or manual CMake steps.AGENTS.mdso future contributors know how to use the flake.Why it matters
nix developreplaces manual brewing of dependencies..cache,.direnv,result, and test PNGs are ignored.nix run github:effect-native/ansilove -hmakes distribution trivial for users and web demos.nix flake check --all-systems) so regressions on Linux/macOS get caught early.Testing
