+ * document must not deny the model the other forty-nine); a bad TOP-LEVEL or CONTAINER shape folds to a
+ * structured failure (that is a Provider defect, not a dirty row). The counts ride the public

+/**
+ * RB-428-B — pattern specifiers inside a {@link import("./types.js").SkillManifest}'s `allowTools`.
+ *
+ * An entry may be a bare tool name (`Bash`) or a name carrying a specifier (`Bash(git:*)`). A bare name
+ * claims the whole tool; a specifier claims a NARROWER slice of it. Both directions of that sentence are
+ * load-bearing: a specifier is only ever a further restriction on a tool the frame already admits, and
+ * every shape this module cannot decide resolves to DENY — never to the bare name (that would turn
+ * "only git" into "all of Bash", which is the one thing a narrowing-only structure must never do).
+ *
+ * ## Upstream semantics (decoded Claude Code 2.1.220 bundle)
+ *
+ * The rule-string grammar — `Tool(content)`, `\(`/`\)` escapes, `Tool()` and `Tool(*)` collapsing to the
+ * bare name — is already mirrored by {@link parsePermissionRule}, so this module REUSES it rather than
+ * growing a second parser for the same syntax.
+ *
+ * A rule content is classified into one of three forms, and each form has its own comparison:
+ *  - **prefix** (`git:*`, the trailing `:*` form): matches when the command EQUALS the prefix or starts
+ *    with `prefix + " "`. The space is the whole point — a raw string prefix would let `Bash(git:*)`
+ *    admit `gitk` and `git-lfs`, two unrelated programs.
+ *  - **wildcard** (contains an unescaped `*`, e.g. `git *`): a full-string anchored `*` match, done here
+ *    with {@link wildcardMatch} (the existing linear-time, ReDoS-free matcher).
+ *  - **exact** (no `*` at all): string equality.
+ * Runs of spaces/tabs are collapsed on both sides before comparing, and comparison is case-sensitive —
+ * both mirroring the upstream POSIX shell lane.
+ *
+ * ## Why a fail-closed simple-command floor comes first
+ *
+ * Upstream, a rule in the ALLOW direction never matches a compound command: its matcher short-circuits
+ * on a multi-command string, so `git status && rm -rf /` can never be admitted by `Bash(git:*)`. The
+ * same floor is built here out of {@link parseLeadingCommandName} — the single simple-command parser
+ * already shared by `bash_readonly`, the `bash` reversibility classifier and the coarse command-name
+ * policy. It rejects shell operators, substitution, redirection, backgrounding, a path-prefixed argv[0],
+ * a leading env assignment, and an argv[0] carrying quote/brace/glob metacharacters. Nothing it rejects
+ * ever reaches pattern matching, so no specifier form — wildcards included — can be talked into
+ * admitting a second program smuggled in behind the first.
+ *
+ * Reusing that parser rather than writing a second tokenizer is deliberate: two argv[0] parsers drift,
+ * and the drift shows up as a bypass rather than as a test failure.
+ *
+ * ## Scope: the shell-command lane only
+ *
+ * Specifiers are enforced for the tools whose primary argument IS a shell command string — the shared
+ * {@link COARSE_SHELL_TOOLS} set, which the other command-name gates in `tool-policy.ts` already key on
+ * (so a shell tool added there is covered here without a second list to remember).
+ *
+ * A specifier on any other tool is deliberately NOT enforced, and stays denied-and-disclosed:
+ *  - upstream does not carry specifiers through this face either — its agent tool-list resolution parses
+ *    a `Tool(spec)` entry and then uses only the tool NAME for everything except its delegation tool;
+ *  - a path-shaped specifier (`Read(src/**)`) would be a SECOND, weaker path-narrowing face next to
+ *    `SkillManifest.allowPaths`, which canonicalizes its target and therefore survives a symlink. A
+ *    string-level glob does not, and shipping the weaker one beside the stronger one invites the wrong
+ *    choice;
+ *  - reads are deliberately never path-narrowed by this gate (it restricts capability, not visibility);
+ *    `Read(src/**)` would reverse that settled decision as a side effect of syntax support.
