After I installed the new WireGuard update from the Mac app store, I can’t connect my tunnel. The message in the UI is "Unable to apply network settings to tunnel object."

I’m using macOS 10.15.7. I've tried rebooting, removing and re-importing tunnel configs, deleting and re-installing the WireGuard app.

Here’s a dump of possibly-relevant warnings in Console.app during a connection attempt:
