OS
macOS
Describe the bug
vfox environment variables have higher priority than python venv. As a result, python venv cannot actually take effect.
I think vfox use -p is not a complete replacement for venv unless it also installs dependencies within the project instead of globally.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior on macOS with vfox use -p alongside a Python venv, then trace how their environment variables are prioritized. Done means the project’s Python venv takes effect instead of being overridden by vfox variables, with the expected dependency scope clarified.
