Hi Guix,
Take a package that you have installed in the default profile, say
"which". Then notice that when issuing "guix shell --pure" followed by
"which which" replies that the command can't be found. On the other
hand, when starting the environment via "guix shell", the command can be
found.
If my memory isn't tricking me, the "pure" flag used to behave
differently. It simply started the shell with a clean env, but it still
exposed the packages from the default profile. Am I missing something
or is this a regression?
Thanks.

No, this is `--pure` working as expected, the other behavior you
describe would be considered a bug. Maybe you used to have the default
profile loaded through .bashrc, even though this is discouraged exactly
for that reason?
Best,
