Environment Awareness

Most wasted commands in an agent session come from a wrong guess about where the command runs: Unix syntax in PowerShell, npm in a pnpm project, a global Python instead of the project's virtual environment. You find out where you are with a few cheap probes and then write every command for that place. Probe once, then act on what you saw, not on what is typical.
