I have tested v31.1rc1 on my pc ubuntu 22.04(jammy), kernel 6.8.0.124. Environment : Intel Core i5-7300U @ 2.60GHz (4 cores), 8GB RAM.

Ran all the functional test suites(284/284 passed), manually verified (#35316) musig2 empty pubkey rejection, return a clean rpc error as expected. Therefore no issue found.
