I have a project based on NCS 2.8 and using toolchain 2.8. In order to use claude code, I have setup a WSL container which includes a python venv. I'm able to build in the WSL container as long as I pass -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION="NONE" I can also get claude code to properly build as long as I provide instructions on setting up the virtualenv and passing the -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION argument.
Now I'm trying to implement emulated tests that can be run by twister, however every time twister runs a test the build fails because it doesn't have -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION and the build proceeds to use /home/antho/ncs/toolchains/b81a7cd864/usr/local/bin/python3 which lacks pkwalify:

Is there a recommended way to avoid using the crippled python in the NCS toolchain?
