Directory navigation on Helix
If you want a file full browser experience choose nnn: https://github.com/jarun/nnn . If you have a desktop file for Helix you can use the Gnome Files program to make all your programming language files open in Helix.

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

How do I change default image and video interpreter program through environment variables for nnn file manager ? (Asking herre bc r/linuxquestions doesnt allow posts)
You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.

“L”anguage “F”eatures :: lf-define ≈ setq + defvar + defun + setf .... with type constraints!
Also, considering your code, I am not sure, bit I think it is a terrible idea to install libraries on other people computers without clearly stating it, or perhaps stating it as a requirement and what is going to happen. I am referring to your "test suite". Especially since you are actually using ERT which is included in Emacs. Why should you fetch org, undercover or Quelpa??!! or even require it for your tests is an even bigger mystery, not to mention other libraries. You should probably redesign your tests completely. I haven't looked much at rest of your code in tests, or your main code, I just saw the first lines of tests.el.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nnn and lf you can also consider the following projects:
ranger - A VIM-inspired filemanager for the console
lf - Terminal file manager
clifm - The shell-like, command line terminal file manager: simple, fast, extensible, and lightweight as hell.
vifm - Vifm is a file manager with curses interface, which provides Vim-like environment for managing objects within file systems, extended with some useful ideas from mutt.
mpv-image-viewer - Configuration, scripts and tips for using mpv as an image viewer
fff - 📁 A simple file manager written in bash.
pistol - General purpose file previewer designed for Ranger, Lf to make scope.sh redundant
