Just curious: why wouldn't you attack this with a jail?

That's a lot of incompatibilities.

LLMs like to use the shell because it's stable and virtually unchanged for decades.

It doesn't need to worry much about versions or whether something is supported or not, it can just assume it is.

Re-implementing bash is a herculean effort. I wish good luck.

No, they use it because there's a lot of training material.

pro-tip: vercel's https://agent-browser.dev/ is a great CLI for agent-based browser automation.

Why do you think there is a lot of training data? Could it be because it's stable and virtually unchanged for decades? Hmmm.

Trained on an interpreter that is stable is virtually unchanged for decades. That's precisely my point.

It was never trained on an incompatible, partial implementation.

Clearly out of scope. You a bot?
