π― Use case
This module implements the βBashToolβ tool (Bash) β something the model can call at runtime alongside other agent tools. On the API surface it exposes CommandSemantic and interpretCommandResult β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. It composes internal code from utils (relative imports). What the file header says: Command semantics configuration for interpreting exit codes in different contexts. Many commands use exit codes to convey information other than just success/failure. For example, grep returns 1 when no matches are found, which is not an error condition.
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
π§ Inline summary
Command semantics configuration for interpreting exit codes in different contexts. Many commands use exit codes to convey information other than just success/failure. For example, grep returns 1 when no matches are found, which is not an error condition.
