What would happen on the top-level of the Guix source tree or deep
inside the tree of a guile package that deals with manifests, that
aren't necessarily related to Guix? I think we should try searching
for something less ambiguous first (".guix-shell/manifest" perhaps?)
and maybe also provide further options after manifest.scm (e.g. build-
aux/guix.scm or etc/guix.scm)
This issue was considered unlikely: Ludovic Courtès wrote:
You mean a directory that contains a file named ‘guix.scm’ or ‘manifest.scm’ but that happens to do something completely unrelated? We can never rule this out, but I’d say it’s unlikely (these two conventions are rather well established) and it’s up to the user to pay attention. WDYT?
Later shown to be incorrect on the top-level of the Guix source tree more explicitly:

Guix itself doesn't follow this convention: the guix source tree has an unrelated "guix.scm" file, that doesn't evaluate to a package. I'd expect that running "guix shell" within the guix source tree would be equivalent to "guix environment guix", but currently this doesn't seem to be the case.
As such, it was proposed to leave out auto-detection of ‘guix.scm’:Liliana Marie Prikler wrote: > Leaving out the auto-detection of ‘guix.scm’ and ‘manifest.scm’ for now
is a good idea, given that Guix itself would be an edge-case for that. [ proposed alternative solution ]
It was agreed that auto-detection fails here: Ludovic Courtès wrote:

... and then ignored, AFAICT. Greetings, Maxime.
