"""
Bash instruction-tuning dataset generator.
Design:
* bash_dataset.jsonl is GROUND TRUTH. progress.json is a derived snapshot
recomputed from the jsonl on every load -> resume is drift-proof.
* Recipe engine: each recipe family emits (nl, bash) with randomized phrasing
+ concrete params from shared pools. Quotas + per-utility cap + dedup +
`bash -n` syntax check are all enforced here.
* Output is appended after every batch; nothing is held in memory to the end.
CLI:
python generate.py status # report where we stand
python generate.py plan # quota table + what's short
python generate.py run [--batch N] [--batches K] [--target T]
python generate.py validate-all # re-run bash -n over the whole file
