Nix user changes:

configuring the hyprland version that is used to build the plugin during runtime is now being done by overriding the hyprland input:

inputs.hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland";
inputs.hyprshell = {
    url = "github:H3rmt/hyprshell?ref=hyprshell-release";
    inputs.hyprland.follows = "hyprland";
};
