Actually yes:
First you enter an environment with guix, with the tools from the store.
Afterwards you try something in your user profile, where, taking a hard
guess here, these tools no longer exist.
As long as you don't send patches with gnu-store lines in them, working
from inside the profile is what has been suggested before I think.
Others who've been using guix profile more than I do will be able to
explain more I'm sure. I could be totally wrong.
