e.g. /ai-verify partially helpful but I also added bash to the build environment

Gen AI suggestions to solve the build error:

Based on the error output, I'll provide a structured analysis and solution:

• Detected Error: src/meson.build:3:15: ERROR: Command `/home/build/src/gen-hb-version.py 10.2.0 /home/build/output/src/hb-version.h /home/build/src/hb-version.h.in` failed with status 127

• Error Category: Build Configuration

• Failure Point: Python script execution during Meson configuration phase

• Root Cause Analysis: Status code 127 typically indicates "command not found" which suggests Python execution environment issues. The gen-hb-version.py script can't execute properly despite being found by Meson.

• Suggested Fix:
Add Python 3 as a build dependency in the environment section:

environment:
  contents:
    packages:
      - python3
      # ... existing packages ...

• Explanation: The harfbuzz build system requires Python 3 to generate version-specific headers. Status 127 indicates the Python interpreter isn't available in the build environment despite the script being present.

• Additional Notes:

1. Python is required for the build-time version header generation
2. The script was found but couldn't execute, indicating missing runtime
3. No need to modify the script path as Meson found it correctly
4. Adding Python3 as a build dependency resolves the execution environment
