Have you looked at the git log for office/lowdown? I see this:

commit 89eb9b87cf52637dd0846488b66fc92929631781
Author: Pouria Rezaei <Pouria.rz at outlook.com>
Date:   Tue Jan 28 14:10:23 2025 +0330

     office/lowdown: Revert to 1.3.2.

     Last commit broken nix, so I'll downgrade this.

...and Pouria Rezaei is also the maintainer of nix. Sounds like
there's a good reason for lowdown staying at an older version.

I suggest waiting a little longer for Pouria to respond. Say, another
week. If you still don't hear back, mention it again on the mailing
list.
