Subject: [PATCH] fix: pre-compile test deps in shellHook so mix test always
 works

Add MIX_ENV=test mix deps.compile after NIF build. The _build/test
tree is ephemeral (cleared when nix devShell derivation changes), which
causes 'Mox is not available' errors. This ensures test deps like Mox
are ready before the user ever runs mix test.
