Help me determine whether a supported Python 3 installation is already available on this computer. Do not pretend you can inspect or change the computer directly, install anything, or request an administrator password.

Ask whether I use Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS and whether the computer is personal or managed. Give me one safe command at a time to identify the operating system, processor architecture when relevant, Python launcher, version, executable location, and pip association. Explain successful evidence and wait for my result after every command.

Separate verified command evidence, my statements, inference, and missing information. Do not display environment-variable values, credentials, tokens, browser data, or unrelated software. Finish with PYTHON READY, INSTALLATION NEEDED, or ADMINISTRATOR REVIEW NEEDED.
