+# `pytest` and `python3` survive without the venv on PATH because 2 and 2b give
+# each one its own shim. Nothing else does — and PATH is exactly what a
+# multi-repo session never gets, because the env file that exports it is written
+# by Claude Code around a hook it never registers (see leg 5). So a dependency
+# declared in `.claude/session-python.txt` that ships a CONSOLE SCRIPT rather
+# than an importable module was installed into the venv and then invisible.
+#
+# Measured, not hypothetical: PyAutoHands shells out to `ipynb-py-convert`, and
+# with the package installed its suite still failed five tests with
+# `FileNotFoundError: ipynb-py-convert` — the binary sitting in $VENV/bin,
+# unreachable, while `--check` called the session healthy. A missing binary and
+# an unreachable one are the same symptom, and neither says "environment".

+# The claim policy is 2b's, because the reasoning is 2b's: a name we can reach
