Setup told a Mac with Python 3.12 on it to go and install Python
Found by running behavision-setup against a clean state directory the
way a second machine will, which had never been done. It failed at the
first step:
Setup did not finish: no Python 3.10 or newer was found
Found, but too old: python3 3.9
on a machine that has 3.12. The search was `python3` then `python`, and
on macOS `/usr/bin/python3` is ALWAYS the Command Line Tools build -
3.9 on current macOS, below the 3.10 floor. Anything newer installs as
`python3.12`, under Homebrew, as a framework, or somewhere a GUI
application's minimal PATH never sees.
So it now tries versioned names newest-first, then the plain ones, then
the four directories macOS actually uses - and absolute candidates are
stat'd rather than passed to LookPath, which only searches PATH. It
found /Users/tenext/.local/opt/python3.12/bin/python3.12, which is
exactly the interpreter it had been ignoring.
With that, the whole install completes on a Mac for the first time:
venv, engine and dependencies, models, agent.json, and "Engine starts
and answers - verified". EXIT=0, a 298 MB runtime.
Also the last thing it prints, which is the first thing an operator
acts on. It said "Start Behavision from the Start menu" and "it appears
in the system tray; right-click there to stop it". On macOS there is no
Start menu and, deliberately, no tray at all - so the finishing message
was describing a machine the user was not sitting at, on the one step
where setup had otherwise succeeded. It now says to right-click the app
the first time because the build is not notarised, and that closing the
window stops recognition.
