Failed to execute command: {e}

Error message

Failed to execute command: {e}

What it means

execute_unsandboxed's tokio Command::output() returned an error — the jailed-spawn machinery was bypassed (unsandboxed path) and the OS itself refused to run the command (missing binary, exec format, permission). Distinct from a non-zero exit, which returns normally.

Solutions

1. Verify the command binary exists and is executable on PATH
2. Check the interpreter/shebang and file permissions
3. Read {e} for the OS-level errno
