1//! Tree-sitter based bash command parser.
2//!
3//! Parses bash commands into an AST and extracts structured information
4//! for security analysis. Catches obfuscation that regex-based detection
5//! misses: quote splitting, command substitution, variable indirection,
6//! subshells, and process substitution.
