`python3` not found on Windows (Command Prompt / PowerShell)

[benny779]

Description

When running CC on Windows (Command Prompt or PowerShell), the startup hook fails because python3 is not recognized as a command.

Error Output

SessionStart:startup hook error
Failed with non-blocking status code: /usr/bin/bash: line 1: python3: command not found

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Shell: Command Prompt / PowerShell
• Python installed (accessible via python and py, not python3)

Fixed in v5.3.11.

Hooks now go through a small python-launcher.sh that locates a usable Python 3 interpreter across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It handles python3, python, and py -3 installs, including python.org installs at paths with spaces and the zero-byte Microsoft Store aliases under WindowsApps.

If you have auto-update enabled on the marketplace, you'll get it on next SessionStart. Otherwise run /plugin → Marketplaces → alexgreensh-token-optimizer → Update.

Thanks for the clear report, Benny. Closing.
