Different run times between notarized version (release) and local build version (debug)

I used Python-3.11-macOS-support.b1.tar.gz and imported both python-stdlib and Python.xcframework. Here is what the version file says Python version: 3.11.0
Build: b1
Min macOS version: 10.15

libFFI: macOS native
BZip2: 1.0.8
OpenSSL: 3.0.5
XZ: 5.2.6

} and yet if you look at the logs it says python version 3.12 and the app crashes after it launches [2024-09-05T22:38:16Z] EmbeddedPython initialization started
