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. This provides an easy
    way to define, share, and enter development environments.

Is it a regression?
