Maybe I am missing what you would like, from my understanding, that’s
already possible using time-machine and weather.  For example,

   guix time-machine -- weather -m manifest.scm

allow to know the status of the last commit.  What is missing is a clear
return code for chaining.  For instance, see this proposal:

        subject: guix weather exit status?
        from: Leo Famulari <leo@famulari.name>

However, I agree that the next step (find the log of the broken package)
for teams is a bit convoluted.
