Something changed recently (last system reconfigure?) where the 'pass' software
broke for me, apparently because gnupg is not finding pinentry, or not using it
correctly for some reason.
```
christopher@theoden ~$ pass gatecode
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
christopher@theoden ~$ cd .password-store/
christopher@theoden ~/.password-store$ gpg -d gatecode.gpg
gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID F80E1B3D662D41E9, created 2021-12-14
"Christopher Howard (pass) <christopher@librehacker.com>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: No pinentry
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
```
I can work around this like so:
```
christopher@theoden ~/.password-store$ gpg --pinentry-mode loopback -d
gatecode.gpg
<...asks for passcode on command line...>
gpg: encrypted with 3072-bit RSA key, ID F80E1B3D662D41E9, created 2021-12-14
"Christopher Howard (pass) <christopher@librehacker.com>"
<...snipped for confidentiality...>
```
After this, I can then run pass for a little while, as credentials are cached
or however that works.
I might try a rollback or something and see if I can isolate this issue.
Pinentry itself is available:
```
christopher@theoden ~$ which pinentry
/home/christopher/.guix-home/profile/bin/pinentry
```
``` guix describe
