 - The environment sets GIT_PAGER=cat, PAGER=cat, EDITOR=true, TERM=dumb — but still always use non-interactive flags
 - Output is capped at ~200K chars; if you need more, redirect to a file and read it. Truncated output ends with a `[... truncated: N chars omitted]` marker — the missing tail may contain errors.
 - Check `[stderr]` for error messages, warnings, and diagnostic output — it is separated from `[stdout]` so you can quickly identify problems.
-- On Windows, use Unix shell syntax inside bash commands (Git Bash): forward slashes, `/dev/null` not `NUL`
+- On Windows the shell is **cmd.exe** (NOT Git Bash, NOT PowerShell): `&&`/`||` chaining works, use cmd built-ins (`del`, `dir`, `type`, `findstr`, `tasklist`) and `/dev/null`→`NUL`, `2>/dev/null`→`>nul 2>&1`. Bash-isms (`rm -rf`, `cp -r`, `head`, `$(...)`) FAIL. For complex logic prefer `node -e` over shell gymnastics.
 - Never use bash to read, copy, or transmit secret files (.env, keys, tokens)
 - Do NOT run destructive commands (rm -rf, force-push, drop table) without explicit user confirmation
 - After commands that change files (git checkout, npm install, etc.), repo_outline and code_search may be stale — re-run them to get current results.
