For years I built tex into pdf with pdflatex; I just hit C-c C-c and there it was. But now having just rebuilt my system with Guix, I find that pdflatex isn't on the list of compilation commands. This is despite the fact that the command `pdflatex` works from the command line. Does anyone know where it went in auctex, and how to get it back?

I worked it out. I started in the customize menu and played around until I got the answer, then saved it to my :custom in use-package.
`("pdflatex" "%(PDF)%(latex) %T -shell-escape" TeX-run-command nil t :help "Run pdflatex")`
Now my whole use-package (straight) looks like this (including many defaults, which I should probably clean out):
(use-package tex-mode
:straight auctex
:mode "\\.tex\\'"
