I think you can add a copyright line for you.

Or just (guix store build)?

As for (guix store), we’ll have to fix it eventually: daemon code should
not import client code.

So I would move the <derivation> record and low-level code to (guix
store derivations).  (guix derivations) would import that module.
Anyway, we’ll discuss that separately.

It’s a good idea to #:autoload as much as possible, especially (gnu …)
modules that may pull lots of other modules.

It would be good to have tests here: maybe low-level unit tests for the
reference scanner (it’s a fairly critical piece :-)), as well as
integration tests that perform a build or something.

Again maybe that can come later if it’s more convenient.
