-
-# Code Execution with dev
-
-Execute code directly using the Bash tool. No wrapper, no persistent files, no cleanup needed beyond what the code itself creates.
-
-## Run code inline
-
-```bash
-# JavaScript / TypeScript
-bun -e "const fs = require('fs'); console.log(fs.readdirSync('.'))"
-bun -e "import { readFileSync } from 'fs'; console.log(readFileSync('package.json', 'utf-8'))"
-
-# Run a file
-bun run script.ts
-node script.js
-
-# Python
-python -c "import json; print(json.dumps({'ok': True}))"
-
-# Shell
-bash -c "ls -la && cat package.json"
-```
-
-## File operations (inline, no temp files)
-
-```bash
-# Read
-bun -e "console.log(require('fs').readFileSync('path/to/file', 'utf-8'))"
-
-# Write
-bun -e "require('fs').writeFileSync('out.json', JSON.stringify({x:1}, null, 2))"

-## Rules
-
-- Each run under 15 seconds
-- Pack every related hypothesis into one run — never one idea per run
-- No persistent temp files; if a temp file is needed, delete it in the same command
-- No spawn/exec/fork inside executed code
-- Use `bun` over `node` when available
