# Shell Python Heredoc (Fallback Pattern)

## Overview

When `execute_code_sandbox` fails repeatedly (e.g., with "unknown error"), use `run_shell` with a Python heredoc as a reliable fallback for executing multi-line Python scripts with imports.

## When to Use

- `execute_code_sandbox` has failed 2+ times with unexplained errors
- You need to run Python code with multiple imports (e.g., ReportLab, pandas)
- The script is too complex for a one-liner but doesn't require persistence between calls
- You need better error visibility from raw stdout/stderr

## How to Use
