Make the clone target match the directory change.

git clone https://github.com/hyperpolymath/pons.git creates pons, but the next command enters pons-asinorum. A contributor following these commands gets a directory-not-found error.

Suggested fix 
-git clone https://github.com/hyperpolymath/pons.git
+git clone https://github.com/hyperpolymath/pons.git pons-asinorum
 cd pons-asinorum

official GNU Guix documentation guix develop without manifest.scm or package arguments current directory

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
When you invoke guix shell without any arguments, GNU Guix automatically attempts to load a manifest.scm or guix.scm file if one exists in your current working directory or any of its parent directories [1][2]. This feature is designed for interactive use [1][3]. Key requirements and behaviors for this automatic loading include: 1. Interactive Use Only: This automatic detection only occurs when guix shell is invoked interactively without any other arguments (e.g., simply running guix shell) [1][3][4]. If you provide a command to execute (e.g., guix shell -- my-command), Guix treats this as a non-interactive use and will not automatically load these files [3][4]. 2. File Priority: If both files are present, Guix prioritizes them based on its internal logic [1]. If a manifest.scm is found, it is used as if provided via the --manifest option [1][2]. If a guix.scm is found, it is used to build a development profile as if both --development and --file were provided [1][2]. 3. Security Authorization: For security reasons, Guix will only automatically load these files if the directory containing them is explicitly authorized [1][2]. You must add the directory path to your ~/.config/guix/shell-authorized-directories file [1][2]. If the directory is not authorized, Guix will report an error and provide instructions on how to authorize it [2]. If you wish to inhibit this behavior, you can use the -q flag [5][6].

This is the documented behavior: ‘manifest.scm’ and ‘guix.scm’ are read only for interactive use, meaning without ‘--’: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-shell.html The rationale for it is that non-interactive uses of ‘guix shell’ would always be self-contained.

The incantation below creates an empty environment. But wouldn&`#39`;t it be nice if it would infer manifest.scm or guix.scm, in case they exist in the current directory? ... That’s already the case, no? From the manual: If it finds a manifest.scm in the current working directory or any of its parents, it uses this manifest as though it was given via --manifest. Likewise, if it finds a guix.scm in the same directories, it uses it to build a development profile as though both --development and --file were present. In either case, the file will only be loaded if the directory it resides in is listed in ~/.config/guix/shell-authorized-directories.

It *sounds* like it should be the case, but it isn&`#39`;t. Specifying the command to run explicitly is considered a non-interactive case, and in non-interactive mode the automagic guix.scm/manifest.scm reading does not occur. :( ... Indeed, I have interpreted that section from the manual in the same as you did. However, as I&`#39`;ve mentioned in the previous message, "guix shell -- foo-command" creates an empty environment and then runs foo-command (regardless of the existence of guix/manifest.scm). ... I agree with you! It&`#39`;s a big usability issue! Even though I&`#39`;m aware of this behavior, I still catch myself trying to do `guix shell -- foo-command` from time to time and being disappointed. I filed an issue about this awhile back and the tl;dr is that the behavior can&`#39`;t be changed (at least not easily) without breaking things for users who have different expectations/needs: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57467 ... &`#39`;guix shell&`#39`; is primarily focused on case 2, and case 1 is only supported when &`#39`;guix shell&`#39`; has no other args, as you&`#39`;ve noticed. ... Perhaps this is an indicator that we need two different tools. I&`#39`;ve thought for years that we need a &`#39`;guix develop&`#39`; (working title) tool that does what &`#39`;guix shell&`#39`; does but also goes beyond by starting containerized services like &`#39`;docker compose&`#39`; can. For example, if a project requires a PostgreSQL database, &`#39`;guix develop&`#39`; could create a shell environment with the client program/library but also automatically start the server using an instance of Shepherd and &`#39`;herd&`#39`; inside the shell could be used to control the service. ...

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
There is no command named guix develop in GNU Guix. The functionality for creating development environments is provided by the guix shell command [1][2]. Historically, the guix environment command was used for this purpose, but it has been deprecated in favor of guix shell, which is designed to be more convenient for creating one-off software environments [3]. guix shell allows users to spawn a shell with specific packages available without modifying their user profile [1][2].

Replace the unsupported Guix command with the repository toolchain setup.

guix develop is not a GNU Guix command. This checkout also has no guix.scm or manifest.scm for Guix to load. Use mise install to install the toolchain defined by this repository before running just check.

Suggested change 
- guix develop

Run the repository tool setup in the Toolbox path.

mise.toml declares rust and just, but the Toolbox path never invokes mise. Replace the placeholder with mise install, and document the rustfmt and clippy components required by Justfile before running just check.

Do not present partial checks as equivalent to just check.

just check is defined and runs formatting, Clippy, and workspace tests. cargo check is a compilation-only partial check. The repository has no Mix project or task for mix compile. Keep this line as just check, or label cargo check --workspace as a partial check.

Suggested replacement 
-just check   # or: cargo check / mix compile / etc.
+just check   # Run formatting, Clippy, and tests.

Use fenced code blocks for both examples.

The setup commands and shell comments through line 19 are not in a code block. Markdown therefore renders them as headings or ordinary text. The commit-message example is also split: the introduction at line 112 is an indented code block, while lines 114-121 render as ordinary text.

Dedent the introduction and fence the complete commit-message example, including the optional body and footer lines. Fence the setup content through line 19.

Use a level-two heading for Repository Structure.

### Repository Structure follows level-one headings without a level-two parent. This creates an unintended heading hierarchy. Change it to ## Repository Structure, or add the missing parent heading.

Update the repository structure tree to match the checkout. The tree lists non-existent paths such as src/, lib/, flake.nix, and several .md files. The Cargo workspace uses crates/ with four members instead. This can mislead contributors.

At minimum, replace the source entries with the workspace layout:

Suggested correction 
-├── src/ # Source code (Perimeter 1-2)
-├── lib/ # Library code (Perimeter 1-2)
+├── crates/ # Cargo workspace crates
+│   ├── pons-core/
+│   ├── pons-protocols/
+│   ├── pons-rules/
+│   └── pons-cli/

Update the remaining entries in the block to match the current checkout.

Put each branch convention on its own list item.

The entries remain hard-wrapped into one paragraph. For example, docs/short-description and test/what-added share Line 104, and the latter continues on Line 105. Use one bullet or one fenced line per convention.
