Description
For build issues:
Using OpenSSL v3.5.5
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey server/End_Entity_Private_Key.pem -in ./server/End_Entity_Private_Cert.pem -out ./server/Server_Chain.p12 -chain -untrusted ./issuingca/IssuingCA_Cert_G1.pem -CAfile ./rootca/RootCA-G1.pem -passin file:./server/passphrase.txt -passout pass:$(cat ./server/passphrase.txt )
Can I ask someone to confirm an issue I just noticed, essentially I just notice "-passout file:./server/passphrase.txt" does appear to work, as a work around I've used "-passout pass:$(cat ./server/passphrase.txt)".
Note, I haven't tried the many permutation of the above command.
Regards
Nigel

Research direction
Start by reproducing the supplied openssl pkcs12 -export command, comparing -passout file:./server/passphrase.txt with the working pass:$(cat ...) form. Done means determining whether file-based input is expected to work and recording a minimal reproducible case for the relevant CLI behavior.
