[TLDR]: "Do Your Own Due Diligence!"(DYODD)

Ultimately, compared to all of the other available options today, this is one of the most proprietary, restrictive, yet, exposed, and in vulnerable ways, where we trade 'features' and 'functionalities', for our privacy, and data-sovereignty. Find and use something else. Almost anything will do. (Relative to where you're located globally, of course.)

Resolving python3 errors on Windows 11 (Claude Code + other CLI agents)

Goal: Make python3 resolve to a real interpreter across PowerShell, cmd, Git Bash, and other shells used by agent tooling on Windows 11, without requiring WSL.

Common symptom: python3 --version → “Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store…”

Root cause (often): Windows “App execution aliases” stub python3.exe in ...\WindowsApps shadows the real Python.

ADR (Architecture Decision Record) — Documentation Pattern

ATTRIBUTION: thanks to Martin Cleaver https://github.com/mrjcleaver and the Agentics-Foundation https://agentics.org/ -- I took chat notes, and restructured for future reference below.

A lightweight, durable way to capture why an architectural decision was made (not just what was built), so teams can revisit decisions with context instead of re-litigating from scratch.

Tip

ADR = one decision, one file. Keep it durable, searchable, and easy to supersede.
