The first line in your ~/.zshrc file has no export statement and it is attempting to run that path string as though it were executable. Instead…


export PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}"


The Python.org installer places links to its binaries in /usr/local/bin, and the homebrew package manager puts installed package binaries in that location too. Although I do have a /usr/local/sbin folder, it remains empty as nothing uses it. This is why I changed your PATH to /usr/local/bin. You only need the single PATH above that I have provided in your ~/.zshrc file.
