Guile errors are quite literal-minded, most of the time.  All the 
world's a string, and parsing it an adventure.

This error means that you have a missing or mismatched closing ) 
somewhere, or didn't close a " so Guile doesn't see it, or…

It's impossible to say more without seeing the code.

It must be some specific change/file, not any change.

A quick and dirty

  ~/guix-custom$ guix repl -L. <each/scheme/file/in/turn.scm

might be enough: Guile will print all kinds of things to ignore, 
but if you see the same error about searching for ), you'll know 
that the problem is in that file.

But really…

…use an editor (like emacs, but other fine and graphical editors 
are available) that balances or at least highlights brackets. 
Manually counting them is madness and not how anybody writes Lisps 
in real life.

This looks fine, but I was unable to clone the repository. :-)

Kind regards,
