Hello,

I'm running Guix System with a dedicated uid for guix-daemon.

The nobody/65534 test in python-3.12.12 prevents me from updating with 
`guix pull --no-substitutes` to avoid the restore-file vulnerability 
announced this month. [0] [1]

The vulnerability was said to consist of automatically starting a 
consecutive step too early, so I thought of downloading a substitute 
myself from the CI server to verify and install more deliberately. Is 
that worth trying despite not being covered in the documentation, or 
should I be patching the test out locally to get over this bump?

Thanks,
Pijgn
