Summary

On fresh Windows installs, \python3/\python\ resolve to the Microsoft Store app-execution-alias stub (\\WindowsApps\python*.exe) that prints \Python was not found\ and exits non-zero — silently breaking the enforcement hook (\omi-enforce.py) that omind setup registers in \settings.json. Real Python installs (winget, python.org) create only \python.exe\ and NOT \python3.exe, so \python3\ stays broken even after a real install.

Changes

Three layers of defense:

  1. *_resolve_python()* — picks \python\ over \python3\ on Windows (and the reverse on POSIX), skipping any candidate that resolves to the \WindowsApps\ stub path.
  2. check_prereqs() — fails setup (or warns on --dry-run) with a clear \winget install --id Python.Python.3.12\ instruction when no usable Python is found, instead of silently installing a broken hook.
  3. _omind_hook_entries() — uses _resolve_python()\ instead of the hardcoded \python3\ when baking the enforcement hook command.

\omind doctor\ gains:

  • A \ ool:python\ check (mirroring the existing \jq\ check) that reports ok/fail based on _resolve_python().
  • A stale-enforcement-hook check in _diagnose_hooks()\ that flags pre-fix wiring still shelling out to the Store stub.

Verification

  • Confirmed on this Windows machine where \python3\ resolves to the Store stub: _resolve_python()\ correctly returns \python.
  • 19 new tests added; all pass.

  • uff\ and \mypy --strict\ clean.
  • The 7 pre-existing test failures (Windows \sh\ guard) are unrelated to this change.

Closes #356

86-86: Make the WindowsApps match case-insensitive.

A lowercase windowsapps PATH component bypasses this check. _resolve_python() can then accept a Microsoft Store stub.

Use .casefold() on the normalized path and retain lowercase-path coverage.


100-100: Persist the resolved Python executable path.

This function validates resolved but returns name. The generated hook performs a new PATH lookup and can select a Windows Store stub in Claude's environment.

Return resolved, quote the generated command paths, and update the command parser and fixtures.


1490-1493: Report an unresolvable hook interpreter as broken wiring.

A stale hook that invokes python3 can fail PATH resolution. This function returns None, so _diagnose_hooks() reports the hook as healthy even though it cannot run.

Return a distinct failure state and report it from _diagnose_hooks().

Match the WindowsApps path case-insensitively.

On Windows, shutil.which() checks paths case-insensitively but returns the path assembled from the PATH entry without canonicalizing its component casing. Therefore, _is_windows_store_stub() can receive a valid Store-stub path containing windowsapps and return False because os.path.normpath() does not fold case.

_resolve_python() then treats the stub command as usable. Setup can write a hook that invokes the stub, while _diagnose_python() and _enforce_hook_python_is_stub() report no problem. The current tests cover only canonical WindowsApps casing.

Proposed fix
-    return _windows() and "WindowsApps" in os.path.normpath(path)
+    return _windows() and "windowsapps" in os.path.normpath(path).casefold()

@CryptoJones, I will update the Store-stub path check to use case-insensitive matching. I will also add coverage for a lowercase windowsapps path.

  • Update _is_windows_store_stub() in src/omind/provision.py.
  • Add a regression test in tests/test_provision.py.

Preserve the resolved interpreter path in the hook command.

_resolve_python() validates shutil.which(name) but returns the bare name. _omind_hook_entries() persists that name in settings.json, so Claude performs a new PATH lookup. The repository already documents that Claude's hook environment may differ from setup's PATH. If it prioritizes WindowsApps, the hook can invoke the Store stub instead of the interpreter selected during setup.

Return and quote the resolved path. Parse the first quoted command argument in _enforce_hook_python_is_stub and update its fixtures.

-            return name
+            return resolved
...
-                    "command": f"{python_cmd} {_enforce_hook_dest()}",
+                    "command": f'"{python_cmd}" "{_enforce_hook_dest()}"',

@CryptoJones, I will update the enforcement-hook command to persist the validated interpreter path. I will also update parsing and tests for quoted interpreter paths.

  • Return the resolved interpreter path from _resolve_python().
  • Quote the interpreter path and enforcement-hook path in the generated command.
  • Update _enforce_hook_python_is_stub() to parse quoted command arguments safely.
  • Update Windows and POSIX fixtures to validate the persisted resolved path.

89-89: Match WindowsApps case-insensitively.

This check still misses Store-stub paths whose component casing differs from WindowsApps. This concern was already reported in the previous review.


108-108: Persist the validated interpreter path.

The function still validates resolved but returns the bare command name. The hook can therefore resolve a different executable from its runtime PATH. This concern was already reported in the previous review.

Treat an unresolved hook interpreter as broken wiring.

When a stale Windows hook invokes python3 and shutil.which("python3") returns None, _enforce_hook_python_is_stub() returns None. _diagnose_hooks() then reaches its ok result, even when python is available and _diagnose_python() succeeds. This violates the diagnostic contract because the enforcement hook cannot run.

Report the missing interpreter as a fail, with diagnostic text distinct from the Microsoft Store stub case.

_enforce_hook_python_is_stub() path must report an unresolved hook interpreter
as a fail rather than returning None, with diagnostic text distinct from the
Windows Store stub case. Update _diagnose_hooks() to propagate this failure
while preserving the existing success path when the interpreter is available and
valid.

#356)

On fresh Windows installs, python3/python resolve to the Microsoft Store
app-execution-alias stub (\WindowsApps\python*.exe) that prints 'Python was
not found' and exits non-zero — silently breaking the enforcement hook
(omi-enforce.py) that omind setup registers in settings.json. Real Python
installs (winget, python.org) create only python.exe and NOT python3.exe, so
python3 stays broken even after a real install.

Three layers of defense:

1. _resolve_python() — picks python over python3 on Windows (and the reverse
   on POSIX), skipping any candidate that resolves to the WindowsApps stub
   path.
2. check_prereqs() — fails setup (or warns on --dry-run) with a clear
   winget install instruction when no usable Python is found, instead of
   silently installing a broken hook.
3. _omind_hook_entries() — uses _resolve_python() instead of the hardcoded
   python3 when baking the enforcement hook command.

omind doctor gains:
- a tool:python check (mirroring the existing jq check) that reports
  ok/fail based on _resolve_python();
- a stale-enforcement-hook check in _diagnose_hooks() that flags pre-fix
  wiring still shelling out to the Store stub.

Bump 9.5.0 -> 9.5.1.
