Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Bugs

I manage my python environments with UV and do not have a local python install outside uv. When updating code this morning I received this message:

I couldn’t run a local Python syntax check because python isn’t available in this environment.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the local Python syntax-check path in the GitHub Copilot app on Windows with a UV-managed environment and no separate local Python installation. Investigate how Python is discovered in this situation; done means the syntax check runs successfully or reports an appropriate environment-specific result.
