"""Local-environment toolchain probe for the system prompt: when the terminal backend
is local, one deterministic line about Python tooling (python3/python versions, missing
pip, pip bound to another Python, PEP 668) so models don't discover it by hitting
walls. Cached per process; "" when clean. Remote backends are skipped (the sandbox has
its own probe in agent/prompt_builder). Toggle: ``agent.environment_probe`` in config.yaml."""
