   Guix builders: note that for v32.0rc1 the guix-codesign step will fail. See #36256. But you still test everything else.

   On the 32.0 RC Testing Guide doc, section 5.4.1's title should be updated to V32 Aliases. Also update the alias from alias bcli31=... to alias bcli32=....

   https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/32.0-Release-Candidate-Testing-Guide#541-v31-aliases

   Also, in Section 4 there's a reference to a previous version v31.2 that should be corrected to v31.1.

   I ran into another issue with guix-codesign for rc2, this time App Armor related:

   zcat /var/log/guix/drvs/2s/v5049dk6ifphfm20xp7r0rdc1vm2bv-python-signapple-3fab3bb57f227f0dd31007b417683035f5204838-checkout.drv.gz
   warning: unable to access '/etc/gitconfig': Permission denied
   warning: unable to access '/etc/gitconfig': Permission denied
   warning: unable to access '/etc/gitconfig': Permission denied
   fatal: unknown error occurred while reading the configuration files
   git-fetch: '/gnu/store/xz7xygq040vx78snmla70y03h6x9yypg-git-minimal-2.52.0/bin/git init --initial-branch=main' failed with exit code 128
   

   According to Claude, and my own testing, adding this inside the profile guix-helper { … } block in /etc/apparmor.d/guix-daemon, helps:

   # builtin:git-download runs git unchrooted; git treats EACCES on the
   # system config as fatal (ENOENT would be fine).
   /etc/gitconfig r,
   

   I haven't filed an upstream issue yet.
