Add executable smoke tests for shell scripts and CLIs before refactors ship
Use Bats-core when an agent needs to turn fragile shell scripts or command-line workflows into something it can verify repeatedly after edits. The agent writes focused Bash tests for success paths, failure paths, and output contracts, then runs them locally or in CI before a refactor, release, or incident fix goes out.
