+Execute the appropriate command with a **10-minute timeout**. You MUST pass `timeout: 600000` to every Bash tool call that runs codeflash. The default 2-minute Bash timeout is too short — codeflash optimization can take several minutes. Do NOT use `run_in_background: true` — the agent must wait for the command to complete so results are captured before the agent exits.
 
 #### Python projects
 
+Use the `run-codeflash.sh` wrapper script to cd into the project directory and run codeflash. This ensures the command is a single invocation (no `&&` chains) and matches the `Bash(*codeflash*)` permission pattern.
+
 ```bash
 # Default: let codeflash detect changed files
-source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate && cd <project_dir> && codeflash --subagent [flags]
+bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/run-codeflash.sh" <project_dir> <venv_path>/bin/codeflash --subagent [flags]

 ```
 
-If CWD is already the project directory, omit the `cd`. Always include the `source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate` prefix to ensure the virtual environment is active in the shell that runs codeflash.
+Where `<venv_path>` is the virtual environment path from Step 2 (either `$VIRTUAL_ENV` if set, or the path discovered via Glob like `/path/to/project/.venv`).
 
 #### JS/TS projects
 
 **Important**: Codeflash must always be run from the project root (the directory containing `package.json`).
 
 ```bash
 # Default: let codeflash detect changed files
-cd <project_dir> && npx codeflash --subagent [flags]
+bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/run-codeflash.sh" <project_dir> npx codeflash --subagent [flags]

-If CWD is already the project directory, omit the `cd`. Use `npx codeflash` (no virtual environment activation needed).

 #### Java projects
 
 **Important**: Codeflash must be run from the project root (the directory containing `codeflash.toml` or `pom.xml`/`build.gradle`).
 
 ```bash
 # Default: let codeflash detect changed files

-**IMPORTANT**: Always use `run_in_background: true` when calling the Bash tool to execute codeflash. This allows optimization to run in the background while Claude continues other work.

-### 6. Report Initial Status
+**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT use `run_in_background: true` for the codeflash Bash call. Run codeflash in the **foreground** with `timeout: 600000` so the agent waits for it to complete. Background execution is handled at a higher level — this agent already runs in a forked context (`context: fork`), so the user's session is not blocked. If you use `run_in_background: true` inside the agent, the background task will be killed when the agent exits.
 
-After starting the codeflash command in the background, immediately tell the user:
-1. That codeflash is optimizing in the background
-2. Which files/functions are being analyzed (if specified)
-3. That they'll be notified when optimization completes

-Do not wait for the background task to finish. The user will be notified automatically when the task completes with the results (optimizations found, performance improvements, PR creation status).

+2. Which files/functions were analyzed
