[Bug]: Environment mismatch between OpenHands and VSCode

[openhands-agent]

Describe the bug and reproduction steps
There is a discrepancy in the environment between OpenHands and VSCode. For example, when asking OpenHands to run pre-commit, it is found. However, running pre-commit in the VSCode environment results in a command not found error. Additionally, the Python interpreter used by OpenHands (/openhands/poetry/openhands-ai-5O4_aCHf-py3.12/bin/python) differs from the one used by VSCode (/usr/local/bin/python).

Potential solutions
Fix the behavior so that the environments match appropriately between OpenHands and VSCode.
