Emphasis on "rigid". It's not telling you to introduce a new type
variable and put that there. It's telling you that the type you need to
put there is an existing type variable's type.

When you write 'run :: MS c Int a -> (Either String a, Int)' you
implicitly mean 'run :: forall c.' which is exactly introducing a new
type variable.

> • Couldn't match type ‘c1’ with ‘c’

This is the 'c' you bound with the implicit 'forall'. The compiler is
asked to verify that 'run' indeed works 'forall c1', so during
typechecking of the function body the 'c1' variable is also rigid.

>    ‘c’ is a rigid type variable bound by

This is the 'c' from the typed hole suggestion up above, still rigid.

A part of the typechecking algorithm is that two rigid type variables
cannot be equated.

The solution *actually* proposed by GHC in the wildcard suggestion is to
use the 'c' variable from 'f1's type for which you need to make it
scoped with an explicit 'forall':

	f1 :: forall c. (MonadIO m) => c -> m ()
	f1 c = do
	  let _x1 = run f2
	  let _x2 = run f3
	  return ()
	  where
	    run :: MS c Int a -> (Either String a, Int)
	    run = runMS c 0
	    f2 :: MS c s Bool
	    f2 = pure False
	    f3 :: MS c s [Int]
	    f3 = pure []
