Packaged as xq in signed commit github.com/htayj/guix-channel@21681af95c. All 20 go.mod dependencies are pinned as Guix origins and its Go tests run with network resolution disabled. The installed command passes version/help, XML formatting, and XPath extraction checks. License metadata includes both MIT and Apache-2.0 for the mixed-license yaml.v3 dependency.
