‘guix pull’ does tell you to update PATH if needed.

‘guix describe’ also outputs a hint nowadays (pre-1.0.1):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ /run/current-system/profile/bin/guix describe
guix describe: error: failed to determine origin
hint: Perhaps this `guix' command was not obtained with `guix pull'? Its version string is 1.0.0-1.326dcbf.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

HTH,
Ludo’.
