A code-mode program that fans out tool calls issues one action per inner call; bundling them into
one program does not merge them into a single action.

Bash is fine for simple commands, but its pitfalls grow with complexity: quoting and word splitting,
pipelines that hide failures, text matching that catches the wrong thing, and commands that hang.
Nushell and Python avoid most of them. This applies to the local shell; on a remote host, use the
shell it provides.

- Use Bash for simple, obviously correct commands, such as running a tool or a short `&&` sequence.
- Once a command filters or transforms output, loops, polls, or needs careful quoting, agents MUST
use Nushell (structured pipelines) or Python (real logic) instead, e.g. `nu -c '...'` or
`python -c '...'` for one-liners, or a quoted heredoc fed to any interpreter (e.g.
`python3 - <<'PY' ... PY`) for multi-line code.

with output redirected to a log file, and track them by PID, not by matching `ps` output. Prefer
