Run guix builds in a clean repo:
- ```
git clone https://github.com/feather-wallet/feather.git
cd feather
git checkout <TAG>
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir contrib/depends/SDKs
tar -C contrib/depends/SDKs -xaf /path/to/Xcode-<foo>-<bar>-extracted-SDK-with-libcxx-headers.tar.gz
./contrib/guix/guix-build
```
- To obtain Xcode-<foo>-<bar>-extracted-SDK-with-libcxx-headers.tar.gz follow the instructions in contrib/macdeploy.
- Use at least two machines to verify that the builds are reproducible:
```
cd guix-build-x.x.x/output
find . -type f -not -name "SHA*" -exec sha256sum {} \; | sort -k2
```
  - In absence of a system for verified reproduction, at least one machine should be air-gapped.
  - If builds are not reproducible: fix any reproducibility defects and bump patch version. Do not sign or release non-reproducible builds.
  - To quickly identify any non-reproducible depends packages:
```
cd contrib/depends/built
find . -name "*.hash" -exec cat {} \; | sort -k2
```
Sign release artifacts and hashlists.
