The "Repository Structure" block was hard-wrapped by the AsciiDoc→Markdown conversion, so the entire tree collapsed into a single paragraph and rendered as one run-on line.

Rebuilt from the block's own content:

  • depth recovered from the continuation bars that survived the wrap
  • the guide entry moved under .github/, where the guide actually lives
  • \# escapes unescaped, └── restored on the last entry of each group
  • the block fenced with ```text so it renders as a tree

Every annotation ("Perimeter 1-2" etc.) is preserved — nothing invented, nothing dropped.

Mechanical repairs to the guide, each anchored on a known-broken form:

- unescaped \# -> #
- rebuilt the hard-wrapped setup block into one command per line
- replaced invalid `():` commit header
- dedented headings that rendered as code

No prose is rewritten; only the broken forms are corrected.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated contributor guidance to recommend Guix for reproducible development.
    • Renamed the example working directory from squisher-corpus to modshells throughout the documentation.
    • Updated the repository structure overview to include the contributor guide.
    • Improved heading formatting across contribution and development workflow sections.
    • Expanded the commit message example to include type, scope, description, body, and footer sections.

Walkthrough

The contribution guide now uses Guix development instructions, the modshells working directory name, corrected heading structure, an updated repository tree, and an expanded commit message template.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The tree block was hard-wrapped by the AsciiDoc->Markdown conversion, so it
rendered as a paragraph rather than a tree, and it still listed
CONTRIBUTING.md at the repository root, where the guide no longer lives.

Rebuilt from the tree's own content: depth recovered from the `|` continuation
bars that survived the wrap, the guide entry moved under `.github/`, `#`
escapes unescaped, the last entry of each group restored to `└──`, and the
block fenced so it renders as a tree. Every annotation ("Perimeter 1-2") is
preserved - nothing is invented and nothing is dropped.

wrapping the complete transcript from “# Clone the repository” through “just
test” in a single bash-fenced code block, including the Guix setup commands.
- Around line 110-118: Update the Commit Messages section so the explanatory

code block.
- Around line 104-107: Update the branch-pattern examples in the contributing
guide so each complete pattern and its description appears on its own line,
including the test additions entry. Use a fenced block if appropriate, while
preserving the existing branch names, descriptions, and priority labels.
- Line 8: Replace the invalid guix develop instruction in the development setup
guide with a supported Guix workflow: add the required Guix definition and
document the corresponding development-shell command, such as guix shell
--development -f guix.scm.
- Around line 3-4: Update the contributor setup in CONTRIBUTING.md to clone the
hyperpolymath/modshells repository, use modshells-dev for both toolbox commands,
and replace squisher-corpus with modshells in the label links. Keep the
surrounding setup instructions unchanged.
- Around line 52-98: Dedent the separators and all content under Reporting Bugs,
Suggesting Features, and Your First Contribution by removing the four leading
spaces so Markdown renders the headings, prose, and lists normally.

Use modshells consistently in the contributor setup.

The repository is hyperpolymath/modshells. Cloning squisher-corpus.git creates squisher-corpus/, so cd modshells fails. Update the clone URL, change both toolbox commands to use modshells-dev, and replace squisher-corpus with modshells in the label links on lines 93–96.

Fence the setup transcript as shell code.

The file does not open a fenced block around the setup commands. Markdown renders the # lines as headings and the commands as ordinary prose. Wrap the complete transcript from # Clone the repository through just test in one bash fenced block.

official GNU Guix documentation guix develop no argument guix.scm manifest.scm

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
When you invoke guix shell without any arguments, GNU Guix attempts to automatically load a development environment based on files present in your current working directory or any of its parent directories [1][2][3]. The behavior is as follows: 1. Automatic Detection: If you run guix shell interactively without specifying packages or a manifest, Guix searches for a manifest.scm or a guix.scm file [3][4]. 2. Order of Precedence: Guix checks for these files in the current directory or its ancestors [2][3]. If both are present, the specific behavior regarding which takes precedence is defined by the implementation: it searches for manifest.scm first, and if not found, it looks for guix.scm [3][4]. 3. Interpretation: - If a manifest.scm is found, it is used as if it were passed via the --manifest option [2][3]. - If a guix.scm is found, it is used to build a development profile as if both --development and --file were specified [2][3]. 4. Security Requirement: For this automatic loading to occur, the directory containing the file must be listed in your ~/.config/guix/shell-authorized-directories file [3][4]. If the directory is not authorized, Guix will not automatically load the file [3][4]. You can inhibit this automatic loading behavior by using the -q option [5].
