 - `strict = true` is set on `BashTool`; `concurrency` is resolved per call: `pty: true` is `"exclusive"` (it takes over the terminal UI), everything else is `"shared"`, so multiple non-pty bash calls in one assistant message run in parallel. When parallel calls overlap on the same shell session key, the first owns the persistent `Shell`; the rest run in isolated one-shot shells (see `shellSessionsInUse` in `bash-executor.ts`).
 - `command` URL expansions shell-escape replacements; `env` and `cwd` expansion use `noEscape: true` because they become environment values / filesystem paths, not shell text.
 - `checkBashInterception()` blocks only when the matching rule's `tool` name is present in `ctx.toolNames`; missing tools disable their corresponding rule.

It handles common flat command lists, not full shell parsing: heredocs, command substitution, backticks, grouping, and malformed quoting only receive the existing whole-input check.
