I think it would be bad for Guix to modify your ~/.bashrc directly, so
it’s better to let users do that.
GuixSD will have the right PATH and INFOPATH by default, though.

Please see how ~/.guix-profile and
/var/guix/profiles/per-user/$USER/guix-profile work together. Basically
generations show up in /var/guix/profiles, whereas ~/.guix-profile is a
fixed symlink.

In the future world, ‘guix pull’ updates everything: client-side and
daemon. Currently it’s still client-side only.
HTH!
