[BUG] Repeated error that ..backend.../bin/python and ...project_.../task_.../.initial_env/bin/python "are the same file"

[nilsfranco]

What version of eigent are you using?

0.079

System information

Macbook Air M2, 2022, 16GB MacOS Tahoe Version 26.0 Beta (25A5349a)

Problem description

Installed Eigent for Mac M Chip. Launched, then created account and signed in via Github. Tried to enter prompt. Saw "Task Splitting" screen after hitting enter on prompt, but then got result like:

❌ Error: '/Users/[username]/.eigent/venvs/backend-0.0.79/bin/python' and '/Users/[username]/eigent/nils.franco/project_1768661536010-9188/task_1768661775731-699/.initial_env/bin/python' are the same file

(log 176865...)

Tried multiple times with new projects, or quitting and reopening. Got same error every time.

Uninstalled then reinstalled, rebooted, launched, and retried a different prompt. Got same error. (log 176866...)

Additional context

[niteshrsharma]

Was this error occurring previously, or did it start after a recent patch? The error indicates that the code is attempting to create a virtual environment using the same Python executable that is already running, which results in a SameFileError.

This was my first interaction with Eigent, and I installed it for the first time then immediately experienced this issue, @niteshrsharma
