Description
When running the final phases of the automation (when grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is being run), the logs fill up with:
Generating grub configuration file ...
File descriptor 10 (/dev/pts/0) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 110906: /usr/sbin/grub2-probe
File descriptor 11 (/dev/pts/0) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 110906: /usr/sbin/grub2-probe
File descriptor 12 (/dev/pts/0) leaked on vgs invocation. Parent PID 110906: /usr/sbin/grub2-probe

Messages. While non-fatal, it's annoying and needlessly "chatty". Adding LVM_SUPPRESS_FD_WARNINGS=1 when invoking grub2-mkconfig would make the logged activity-output cleaner.

Research direction
Find the final automation phase that invokes grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, then reproduce or inspect its logged output. Update that invocation to include LVM_SUPPRESS_FD_WARNINGS=1; the work is done when the GRUB configuration still completes and the non-fatal file-descriptor warnings no longer appear.
