from the wowsims WebUI, we use Nix to progra
mmatically create configurations for all spe
cs and encounter types. The Nix build system
 then orchestrates running thousands of simu
lations in parallel, aggregates the results 
into JSON files, and generates the static we
bsite you're viewing. This approach ensures 
reproducible builds and allows us to efficie
