Description

Version
vfox 1.0.6
vfox python plugin 0.5.0

OS
macOS 26.3.1 (a)

Describe the bug
When I excute vfox use python@3.12.13 in the terminal, the output is a bit odd:

Preparing Python 3.12.13 for use...
Checking Python installation at: /Users/mer/.vfox/cache/python/v-3.12.13
Checking Python 3.12.13 installation health...
Python 3.12.13 has critical issues:
  - Bin directory not found: /Users/mer/.vfox/cache/python/v-3.12.13/bin
Attempting to fix critical issues...

No bin directory found at /Users/mer/.vfox/cache/python/v-3.12.13/bin, skipping shebang fix
Some issues may require manual intervention

Research direction

Start by reproducing vfox use python@3.12.13 with vfox 1.0.6 and the Python plugin 0.5.0, then trace the runtime-switching and installation-health handling around the reported cache path. Done means switching completes without reporting a missing bin directory or leaving the runtime in a potentially unhealthy state.
