Thanks! 1629887 solved the problem on Guix; I've submitted [a patch](https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50419). > It's unusual for `racket` to be to a starter executable, but I vaguely remember that the Guix setup...

Apparently some Nix users also had an issue (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114993), though maybe a different one: I don't think they use layers, and IIUC they wrap Racket in their own shell script....

Tangentially, the reader's handling of hash literals with duplicate keys is documented to guarantee: ```racket > (equal? #hash([a . 1] [a . 2] [a . 3]) #hash([a . 3])) #t...

I don't think I've fully digested the changes for launchers yet. Meanwhile, I've added to https://github.com/LiberalArtist/racket-config-tethered-experiment an attempt at building `main-distribution` as a tethered layer on top of minimal Racket....
