    As far as I can tell, the paper says "bash capable", without ever describing what that means. How would one know whether a given model is "bash capable" or not?

    I would have to imagine, that Luna would very much fall into the camp of "bash capable". At which point- it seems to me that adding any tools beyond just Bash requires some rigorous testing and verification that value is being added.

      I think it just means “is there some parser program that consumes the LLM token stream and spawns shell processes with the detected command strings”.

        Im not sure how this could make sense, considering the content of the paper.
