Analysis

1. Nix preloads the dependencies into a new nix_modules (npm ci --no-scripts) then starts building. If any packages try to download new files to the cache at build time, the build fails.
2. Support node 22 #8136 added overrides to package.json:

  "overrides": {
    "@angular-devkit/core": {
      "ajv-formats": "3.0.1",
      "ajv": "^8.17.1"
    },
    "node-fetch": {
      "whatwg-url": "^14.0.0"
    }
  }

4. But these new values weren't added to the npm-shrinkwrap. This triggered the nix-build issue.

P.S. Fix in #8253
