I'm not sure what you mean. What is saying Core is actually Knots?
What ISO are you using?  Use this and you won't have to be adding any alpha registry:

Yeah, I misspoke earlier—I wasn’t actually running the alphas, just reading release notes.

That said, the issue I’m running into is separate: the installed “Bitcoin Core” service appears to actually be Knots, and there’s no clear indication of that without inspecting it directly.

That’s pretty misleading, especially if you’re trying to work with features tied to specific Core versions (e.g. SV2 mining IPC interface).

Even after adding the alpha registry, I’m still not seeing an obvious way to install the actual Core 30 build—what am I missing?
