Agenix seems to be limited to around 60 secrets and if you try to add more, the process building your host derivation will die with Argument list too long.

[foo:rebuild] building '/nix/store/2shq4mwinwqsc30469mzjg94v17ync8h-nixos-system-foo-23.11.20231207.64cd15e.drv'...

[foo:rebuild]        For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/2shq4mwinwqsc30469mzjg94v17ync8h-nixos-system-foo-23.11.20231207.64cd15e.drv'.

Inspecting /nix/store/2shq4mwinwqsc30469mzjg94v17ync8h-nixos-system-foo-23.11.20231207.64cd15e.drv shows a very repetative action snippet which I traced back to installSecret inside age.nix. This installSecret snippet isn't that long but gets replicated for every secret here via:

    ++ (map installSecret (builtins.attrValues cfg.secrets))

I would suggest that installSecret becomes a bash function and then we just call this bash function instead of replicating the installSecret template over and over again. I will open a PR to illustrate this idea.
