//! A declared command executed as an activity.
//!
//! [`ShellAction`] turns a command declared in an `.awl` worker block into a
//! runnable activity, so an action can do real work without a hand-written
//! Rust crate. The command is parsed once at construction and executed as a
//! direct `execve` with no shell interposed — see [`super::template`] for why
//! that is the security property rather than a convenience.
