Recommended action: Install the listed packages in the environment running the agent, or remove them from additional_authorized_imports; for remote executors install them in the sandbox image. Option: Install or de-list the modules [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: CodeAgent with local executor Steps: 1. pip install pandas numpy 2. or drop them from additional_authorized_imports Expected: Executor initialises Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
