Configuring mini.clue

[rbpatt2019]

I'm currently migrating my nvim setup from a manually maintained Lazy.vim config to a nixvim/mini.nvim setup, and I've stumbled on a challenge that has me absolutely stumped. When I enable mini's plugin, I then enable modules within that. Currently, I'm only using 3 modules: mini.clue, mini.files, and mini.starter. If I enable mini.clue by itself, the clue module works exactly as intended in all cases (hint window pops up). When all 3 are active, mini.clue behaves correctly for any file I open from the command line (nix run .# -- test.txt) or through normal commands (:e test.txt in vim), but does not trigger for any file opened from mini.files or mini.starter.

I originally thought this was an issue with mini.nvim, but when I replicate my minimal nix setup in standard lua and run a normal nvim instance with mini.nvim installed, everything works as expected. This leads me to suspect that how configs are sourced/created in nixvim is doing something mini.nvim isn't expecting.

I'm working with the standalone usage, and have config set as below. An insights would be greatly appreciated!

nixvim config

config = {
globals.mapleader = " ";
globals.maplocalleader = ";";
keymaps = [
# Files
{
mode = "n";
key = "e";
action = "lua MiniFiles.open()";
options = {
desc = "File Browser";
};
}
];
plugins.mini = {
enable = true;

modules = {
  clue = {
    window = {
      delay = 200;
      config = {
        width = "auto";
      };
    };
    triggers = [
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "<Leader>";
      }
      {
        mode = "x";
        keys = "<Leader>";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "<LocalLeader>";
      }
      {
        mode = "x";
        keys = "<LocalLeader>";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "<C-w>";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "[";
      }
      {
        mode = "x";
        keys = "[";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "]";
      }
      {
        mode = "x";
        keys = "]";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "g";
      }
      {
        mode = "x";
        keys = "g";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "z";
      }
      {
        mode = "x";
        keys = "z";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "'";
      }
      {
        mode = "n";
        keys = "'";
      }
    ];
  };
  files = { };
  # starter = { };
};
# Configuring the clues for clue requires lua code.
# As does disabling indentscope animation
luaConfig.post = ''
local miniclue = require('mini.clue')
miniclue.setup({
clues = {
  miniclue.gen_clues.windows(),
  miniclue.gen_clues.g(),
  miniclue.gen_clues.z(),
  miniclue.gen_clues.marks(),
  miniclue.gen_clues.registers(),
},
})
'';

};
}

Really loving the tool!
