The transcript at the end of this message shows what happens if I run
"guix system reconfigure" immediately after "guix gc", having made
*no changes whatsoever* to the system configuration.
Why does it need to download all of this stuff that I know it doesn't
actually need (given that "guix gc" deleted it)? In particular it appears
to be downloading build dependencies for everything whether or not it
is going to use a substitute for them, and also packages that I have
intentionally excluded from the system configuration.
This bulks up /gnu/store by *two gigabytes*, and this is a tiny server
so two gigabytes is a substantial fraction of the space available.
However, the real problem is that it's wasting my time and bordeaux's
bandwidth downloading stuff that the next "guix gc" is going to delete.

Very generally, these programs are considered necessary to build the
system generation itself.
I'm not claiming that each of these programs is executed in the process
of building the generation, but they are considered by Guix to be
required, either directly or transitively, in order to perform this
work.

Is there a good way to investigate _why_ each of these packages is
considered necessary to build the system generation, and, equally
importantly, why they are _not_ considered necessary by "guix gc"?

Yes, the source code of Guix is available here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/
... and it's totally self-contained in that Git repo. As for specifics,
I recommend asking on the #guix IRC channel or here.
Generally, consider that building and making effective a Guix System
generation requires diverse work to be performed.
For example, file-systems and partitions may be created or changed. The
bootloader will be changed. The initial ram disk will be built and
installed. Networking configuration may be altered. User accounts and
groups may be created, deleted, or changed.
And so on. There are a lot of programs involved and most of them have
run-time dependencies too.
> [...] and, equally importantly, why they are _not_ considered

The short answer is "to save disk space at the potential cost of
increased network usage".
First, read the brief documentation to learn about the garbage collector
works, at a high level:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-gc.html
If you just want to stop these things from being garbage collected, you
can run the guix-daemon with the argument "--gc-keep-outputs=yes", and
maybe also "--gc-keep-derivations=yes":
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix_002ddaemon.html
Of course your space usage will increase.
Your general question is frequently asked, here is a good discussion of
the subject and the trade-offs involved in configuring the garbage
collector:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2018-07/msg00287.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-09/msg00028.html
I hope that helps!

I am not sure I agree with your framing. While adjustments to the
garbage collector may prevent downloads, I believe some prerequisites
are undeclared (although I cannot say which ones or why).
Like Zack, I think 'guix gc' should not remove items needed to
reconfigure a system or to reinstall the bootloader, at least not for
the current system generation.

I have been doing that, but in my estimation what is being kept exceeds
what's needed by a wide degree.
Kind regards
Felix

That is indeed the case. I have a bash alias which combines "guix pull",
"guix system reconfigure" and "guix gc" with options. Every single time
I update the system with this alias, I see "ghostscript-with-x", "ibus",
"ruby" and others being fetched before anything else. I do have both
--gc-keep* options enabled.

Are you perhaps not aware of "guix home delete-generations -d *" and
"sudo guix system delete-generations -d *"? I used to have my system
partition overfilled with /gnu/store data before I found those
commands. Once I issued them, the next "guix gc" cleared over 100GiB.

I use those without the "-d *" part. What does that do, please?

Sorry, my statement was speculative. I inferred something, and perhaps
shouln't have, from turning off the daemon options mentioned earlier.
On a cleaned system, it suddenly saved 8 GiB. That seemed excessive for
derivations (which are text) although perhaps not for outputs.
Kind regards
Felix

My bad — I was writing from memory and got this wrong. It indeed is
delete-generations [pattern] .

I have a hypothesis, that the process of generation preparation was
considered to be completely transient, and thus the derivations and
outputs are never registered as live items of the gnu store.
