#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ 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.
