Guix system entirely broken by updating second runc or by accidental hard reset |

I'm writing this from my phone after a 3 hour attempt to fix my Guix system without success, it seems totally FUBAR.
So here is what I did:
$ guix package -I runc
Shortly after, my battery ran out and my laptop did a hard reset (yes trying to configure hibernate on low battery has been on my todo list for a while). I think the above command already finished when it reset, but I'm not entirely sure. It's been some hours.
So the current situation is this:
* All GUI apps I tried give "command not found", hence no Firefox or Thunderbird.
* My ~/.guix-profile/manifest is empty. Meaning that all guix package commands done in this profile give "unsupported manifest format".
* Idk if this is normal, but listing profiles as my regular user lists two profiles: ~/.guix-profile and ~/.config/guix/current.
I tried various things:
* editing PATH to remove my user profile (thinking this might use another runc)
* running guix package -r from a root bash using the --profile= "" for the broken profile: same manifest error. When doing this for the ~/.config/guix/current profile, it says no runc found.
* guix pull, reconfigure and reboot from root
* asking for help on IRC (weechat works yay)
I'm kinda hopeless. I can't do anything productive.
If I should post this in a forum instead of here, feel free to forward me.

Hi! Glad you found the explanation and solution.
I’m closing by emailing to 64031-done.
Thanks,
