 <p>ty uses the Python environment to resolve type information and third-party dependencies.</p>
 <p>If not specified, ty will attempt to infer it from the <code>VIRTUAL_ENV</code> or <code>CONDA_PREFIX</code> environment variables, or discover a <code>.venv</code> directory in the project root or working directory.</p>
 <p>If a path to a Python interpreter is provided, e.g., <code>.venv/bin/python3</code>, ty will attempt to find an environment two directories up from the interpreter's path, e.g., <code>.venv</code>. At this time, ty does not invoke the interpreter to determine the location of the environment. This means that ty will not resolve dynamic executables such as a shim.</p>
