I had wondered if they hadn't seated properly (tubeless need a sudden burst of air from an accumulator to properly mount the bead on the rim), but if you can actually see where the air is escaping that's unlikely. It's especially concerning if they're new tyres; it's one thing to prevent a small nick from causing total loss of air, but you shouldn't find unsealable faults in new tyres. I'd get back in touch with Hunt.

With a rear derailleur cable come loose she was just using the front mech
