-// Shell tool with environment-aware system prompt
-//
-// WARNING: This sample uses LocalShellExecutor, which executes real commands
-// against the shell on this machine. Approval gating is disabled here so
-// the demo runs unattended; in any real application keep approval on
-// (the default), or use DockerShellExecutor for container isolation. The
-// commands the model emits below are read-only or scoped (echo, cd into
-// a temp folder, set a process-local env var) but a different model or
-// prompt could choose to do something destructive. Run this only in an
-// environment where you are comfortable with the agent typing into your
-// terminal.
-//
-// Demonstrates LocalShellExecutor in both modes paired with
-// ShellEnvironmentProvider, an AIContextProvider that probes the live
-// shell (OS, family, version, CWD, common CLIs) and injects authoritative
-// system-prompt instructions so the agent emits commands in the right
-// idiom (PowerShell vs POSIX).
-//
-// Two runs:
-//   1) Stateless mode: each tool call runs in a fresh shell. Useful when
-//      commands are independent (read-only scripts, version checks, file
-//      listings) and you want strong isolation between calls. Side
-//      effects in one call (cd, exported variables) do NOT carry to the
-//      next.
-//   2) Persistent mode: a single long-lived shell is reused across calls,
-//      so working directory and exported environment variables are
-//      preserved. Useful for multi-step workflows that build state
-//      (cd into a folder and run a sequence of commands there; set a
-//      token in one step and read it in the next).

-/// <summary>
-/// An <see cref="AIContextProvider"/> that probes the underlying shell
-/// (OS, shell family/version, working directory, available CLI tools)
-/// once per session and injects an authoritative instructions block so
-/// the agent emits commands in the correct shell idiom.
-/// </summary>
-/// <remarks>
-/// <para>
-/// This addresses a common failure mode where a model defaults to bash
-/// syntax while talking to a PowerShell session (or vice versa). Probes
-/// run through the supplied <see cref="ShellExecutor"/>, so the same
-/// provider works for both <see cref="LocalShellExecutor"/> (host shell) and
-/// <see cref="DockerShellExecutor"/> (container shell).
-/// </para>
-/// <para>
-/// The provider does not expose any new tools; it augments the system
-/// prompt only (<see cref="AIContext.Instructions"/>). Probe failures
-/// are swallowed in a narrow set of cases — per-probe timeout
-/// (<see cref="TimeoutException"/>, or an
-/// <see cref="OperationCanceledException"/> caused by the
-/// <see cref="ShellEnvironmentProviderOptions.ProbeTimeout"/> linked
-/// token), policy rejection (<see cref="ShellCommandRejectedException"/>),
-/// and process spawn / pipe failures (<see cref="IOException"/>) —
-/// and surfaced as <see langword="null"/> entries in the snapshot.
-/// Caller-requested cancellation (a <see cref="CancellationToken"/>
-/// passed in by the host) is NOT swallowed and propagates as an
-/// <see cref="OperationCanceledException"/> so shutdown paths work.
-/// Other exceptions (e.g. argument errors, internal bugs) propagate
-/// normally. A missing CLI never fails the agent: the model simply
-/// sees fewer hints in its system prompt.
-/// </para>
-/// <para>
-/// <b>Why <see cref="AIContext.Instructions"/> rather than
-/// <see cref="AIContext.Messages"/>?</b> The shell environment
-/// (OS, family, version, CWD, available CLIs) is stable runtime
-/// metadata, not per-turn retrieved data. The framework's
-/// <c>AgentSkillsProvider</c> uses <c>Instructions</c> for the same
-/// reason; <c>TextSearchProvider</c> and <c>ChatHistoryMemoryProvider</c>
-/// use <c>Messages</c> for retrieval payloads that are <em>about</em>
-/// the user's question. System-prompt steering also has higher weight
-/// in major providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) and benefits from prompt
-/// caching, so injecting the env block as a fake user message would
-/// be both weaker and more expensive.

-/// <summary>
-/// A long-lived shell subprocess that executes commands one at a time using a
-/// <b>sentinel protocol</b> to mark command boundaries. State (current
-/// directory, exported variables, function definitions, etc.) is preserved
-/// across calls.

-/// <remarks>
-/// <para>
-/// <b>Single-owner contract.</b> A <see cref="ShellSession"/> is owned by exactly one
-/// conversation / agent session — i.e., one user. The backing shell process carries
-/// mutable state (cwd, exported variables, history, background jobs) that every
-/// subsequent command can observe, and <c>_runLock</c> serializes every call onto the
-/// single stdin/stdout pipe. There is no per-caller isolation. The enclosing executor
-/// must not share a single session across users, tenants, or concurrent conversations;
-/// it must create one session per agent session and dispose it when the session ends.

-/// Cross-OS implementation notes:

-/// <list type="bullet">
-/// <item>
-/// PowerShell hosted with <c>-Command -</c> waits for a complete parse before
-/// executing. Multi-line <c>try { ... }</c> blocks therefore stall with stdin
-/// open, so the user command is base64-encoded and invoked with
-/// <c>Invoke-Expression</c> on a single line.
-/// </item>
-/// <item>
-/// <c>Write-Output</c> may drop trailing newlines when stdout is redirected.
-/// The sentinel is therefore emitted via <c>[Console]::WriteLine</c> +
-/// <c>[Console]::Out.Flush()</c>.
-/// </item>
-/// <item>
-/// <c>$LASTEXITCODE</c> only tracks external-process exits, so the rc is
-/// derived from <c>$?</c> and caught exceptions as well.
-/// </item>
-/// <item>
-/// stdout/stderr are drained by long-running reader tasks; per-call buffer
-/// offsets are snapshotted before the command is written and scanned forward,
-/// which avoids late stderr being attributed to the next command.
