When
/binis a symlink to/usr/bin(common on modern Linux distros),find_cached()canonicalizes/bin→/usr/binand only caches entries under/usr/bin. A subsequenttry_fromcall with/bin/python3fails the direct cache lookup and returnsNone, causing the environment to be reported asUnknown.Fix: In
try_from, after a cache miss, canonicalize the executable path and retry the lookup. When found via the canonical path, add the original path as a symlink and update both cache entries for consistency.Fixes #405
