i'm not sure it's a nicer workflow, but i'm mimicing the Guix tests:

https://github.com/attila-lendvai/guix-crypto/blob/main/tests/swarm-tests.scm#L19

it is based on `guix system vm` and the testing is by manually looking at stuff 
in the VM (you get a VM console in your terminal). the startup time is in the 
ballpark of 20-30 secs on my laptop.

adding automated tests to this is i think possible.

let us know if you have a faster cycle.
