It seems like some of the steps in D4967 aren't linked anywhere (for instance idb). What's our thinking there? Are these steps now optional? If so, how do we expect users to discover them?

Flipper isn't Android-specific

I think for now, I'll just cave in and have a section for installing homebrew + stuff that's not available on nixpkgs. Not sure how much I want to take on unbounded work :/

Was punting on stuff which needed to be installed with homebrew and explore nix possibilities, but I think I'll just cave in and include homebrew for now. Having a few optional debugging tools doesn't seem like too much of a pain to manage once. Not to mention some tools such as flipper were more target around a graphical user experience, rather terminal experience.

But I will probably add it to a later diff, as D4967 and D4968 are horizontally sliced, and the addition of idb will need changes in both nix_dev_env.md and nix_mobile_setup.md

added it to both mobile and web workflows since it seems to encompass all 3 platforms.
