Which model were you using?
gpt-5.1-codex-max high
What platform is your computer?
macOS 26.1
What issue are you seeing?
On macOS I think normally and not only in my system, I have python3 but no python.
I often get:
• Ran python - <<'PY'
│ import re, pathlib
│ text=pathlib.Path('Vendor/LakeOfFire/Sources/LakeOfFire/Reader/ReaderModeViewModel.swift').read_text()
│ … +3 lines
└ zsh:1: command not found: python
• Ran python3 - <<'PY'
[...]
Which wastes precious context
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Get it to make file edits with Python
What is the expected behavior?
