ci: run ipc functional tests in arm job
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes a continuous integration (CI) configuration file for running tests on ARM processors. It adds a Python package needed for inter-process communication (IPC) tests. There is no change to the Bitcoin Core software that users run, and no security issue is present in the diff.
No security action required. This is a routine CI configuration change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh to install python3-pip and the pycapnp package via pip with –break-system-packages, enabling IPC functional tests in the ARM CI job. This is a build/test infrastructure change only; no application code, consensus code, networking, or wallet code is touched.
