Description

PaSh recently added support for bash syntax using the --bash flag. However, there are still bugs and limitations to this. It would be great if people could start running more (and more complex) bash scripts with PaSh to determine what it can and it can't do well. The ultimate goal would be to make the --bash flag the default, to support a wider variety of scripts, and to also build all of the future PaSh extensions using the --bash flag.

Research direction

Start by running PaSh with the --bash flag against increasingly complex Bash scripts and record which syntax or behaviors fail. Done means producing a clear inventory of current limitations and bugs that can guide broader Bash support; the issue names no source files or tests to inspect.
