After starting the i3 desktop environment for the first time and choosing to write a new config, one is left with an unusable environment.

Can you give more details about what goes wrong? Instructions to
reproduce? This report is too vague.

"Can you give more details about what goes wrong? Instructions to reproduce? This report is too vague."
Yes, sorry about that. Instructions:
1. Boot freshly installed/updated Guix with i3 installed.
2. At the login screen, bottom right, note the following error in red: "Error: status_command not found or is missing a library dependency (exit 127).
3. From the i3 first configuration window, type the <Enter> key "Yes, generate the config."
4. Choose <Win> "Win as a default modifier."
5. Note that the login screen freezes.
