Rust-to-Shell transpiler for deterministic bootstrap scripts
// SC2158: [ false ] is true. Remove the brackets or use `! false`
//
// The `false` command returns exit status 1, but when used inside test brackets
// like `[ false ]`, it's testing if the STRING "false" is non-empty, which is always true.
//
// Examples:
// Bad:
//   if [ false ]; then  # Always true! Tests if string "false" is non-empty
//   if [ true ]; then   # Also always true
//
// Good:
//   if false; then      # Correctly tests exit status
//   if ! false; then    # Correctly inverts exit status
//   if true; then       # Correctly tests exit status
