Straight pull and/or radial?
The wheels are probably machine built so I’d be surprised if there had been any sort of lubrication applied to the spokes threads. Similarly though, doubt there would have been any type of threadlock applied.
The spoke tension might just be a bit low?
I’ve never used spoke freeze or similar myself so not sure how successful a post build application would be but if you were going to add a turn or two of tension to each spoke as well then that movement might help draw the product down into the threads?

Any tips how to stop straight-pull spokes from coming loose (at least I assume this is what’s happening)?
Brand new prime attacquer wheels, rim brake. Been for a few rides, every time I get home to realise a 5mm buckle and several very loose/rotated non-drive spokes. Non drive spokes are crossed but not interlaced - could that be a build error?
