# sympy__sympy-14308 # Loki Mode Multi-Agent Patch # Attempts: 1 Based on my knowledge of sympy's codebase and the bug description, I can generate the patch. The issue is in the pretty printer's handling of `BasisDependent` multiplication (vector multiplication). The problem is that when pretty printing a `VectorMul` expression like `(x/y)**t * e.j`, the vector's basis component is being incorrectly included in the scalar part's rendering. Looking at the sympy codebase structure, the relevant method is `_print_BasisDependent` in `sympy/printing/pretty/pretty.py`. The bug occurs because when building the pretty form for scalar-vector multiplication, the code incorrectly handles the parenthesization - it includes the vector unit inside the parentheses when it should only be for the scalar coefficient.

The issue described shows that `e_j` appears both inside and outside the parentheses. This suggests the problem is specifically in how `_print_BasisDependent` handles the scalar coefficient - it's calling `self._print()` on a compound expression that includes the vector basis, causing double printing.
