Summary

Installing ghost on Windows via ghost install local fails complaining about Sqlite3 and missing python, but I already have python installed in my system:

[19:07:54] → Python is required for SQLite3
One or more errors occurred.

1) Checking SQLite build dependencies

Message: Python is required for SQLite3

Debug Information:
    OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro, v10.0.26100
    Node Version: v22.16.0
    Ghost-CLI Version: 1.28.3
    Environment: development
    Command: 'ghost install local --verbose'

Steps to Reproduce

1. On windows using the latest cli try ghost install local

It doesn't work even after following the instructions here:
https://docs.ghost.org/faq/python-setuptools-required-sqlite3

Clearly the issue is because of how the CLI checks for python:

• python3 will not work on Windows, it has to be python
• after making a symbolic link named python3 (via mklink) the installation succeeded
