Static tools

Statically compiled e2fsprogs (ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem utilities) using musl libc for maximum portability.

Features

• Statically linked: No runtime dependencies required
• musl libc: Smaller binaries and better portability
• Pinned to NixOS 25.11: Reproducible builds
• CI/CD: Automated builds and releases via GitLab CI
