Problem
When a local Agency Swarm project has a startup error in agency.py, the launcher first reports that the Python environment is ready and then shows a generic server-exit error. That makes a project-code import failure look like a venv or Agency Swarm package problem.
Example reproduced locally:
Agency Swarm server exited with code 1: ...
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'codex_missing_import_for_canary_test'
Expected
The launcher should separate the package check from project startup and point the user at the project error.
Agency Swarm packages ready
Starting your agency project.
Your agency project could not load.
ModuleNotFoundError: ...
Fix the missing import or dependency in this project, then run agentswarm again.
