        timeout := 30000
        start := A_TickCount
        while (!exec.Status && (A_TickCount - start < timeout))
            Sleep 100
        
        ToolTip

## 📝 Notes & Considerations

### Known Challenges
1. **Python Environment** - Users may not have Python
   - Solution: Bundle embedded Python or use PyInstaller

2. **Path Configuration** - First-time setup complexity
   - Solution: Auto-detect common paths, setup wizard

3. **Process Communication** - AHK ↔ Python reliability
   - Solution: Proper error handling, timeouts, retries

4. **Performance** - CLI startup time
   - Solution: Lazy imports, caching, persistent mode
