One thing that does not require mutual trust, roughly like you describe
is:

  GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://guix.example.org guix build …

We could have an HTTP bridge and that’d be workable.  It could be just
streaming the daemon RPCs as-is on websockets, or defining an HTTP API
for each useful RPC.

Perhaps some of this can be also addressed with the Guix Build
Coordinator, which already provides an HTTP API, although a higher-level
one.  Chris?

I have a 4-core Intel i7 laptop, which is okay for many things, and I
also have access to a couple of 32-core machines when I need to test
bigger builds like GCC.  And then there’s waiting for ci.guix feedback.
