Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported lack of support for Bash 4's "coproc" construct and trace how explainshell parses shell syntax. Identify the relevant parser entry point and existing tests, then confirm that coproc commands are recognized and matched to help text without regressing other command-line parsing.
