```vala
../src/Core/Client.vala:373.62-373.93: error: Argument 1: Cannot convert from `GLib.GenericArray' to `unowned GLib.GenericArray'
AppStream.utils_sort_components_into_categories (appstream_pool.get_components (), category_array, true);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at src/Core/Client.vala line 373 and reproduce the build with the stricter valac type-argument checking described in the error. Check the AppStream call and the referenced Vala issue; done means the project builds without this type-conversion error.
