Ouch.  :-)

Looks like grep didn’t actually output matches, did it?

Could you screen the file, starting from the latest boot, in search of
references to guix-daemon?

What about ‘sudo herd status’?  Does guix-daemon show up there?

Also, could you check:

  guix system shepherd-graph /run/current-system/configuration.scm | \
    guix shell xdot -- xdot -

to make sure guix-daemon actually is in your config, to be 100% sure?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
