Ok that fixed it.
The issue was this one line. Thanks for showing me your example. Shepherd's
logs showed gpg-agent launching fine. I just had the incorrect file-append
incantation. Presumably pinentry is a symbol inside of the
home-environment.services.service context.

*Problem*
The gpg-agent doesn't launch even though I've configured it in my
home-config.scm.
Thus running gpg --full-generate-key falls over when calling the pinentry
daemon.
*Context*
The context is that I've i. set up my own Guix channel in a git repository.
