hermes-agent/tests/tools/test_shell_bypass_denylist.py

"""Shell-obfuscation bypass coverage for the dangerous-command denylist.

Covers three distinct bypass classes against ``tools/approval.py`` that all
evaded the regex denylist because the string was matched *before* the shell
performed its own quote/escape removal, parameter expansion, and command
substitution:

- Class 1 (issue #36846) -- the executable *name* is spelled with shell tricks
  (``$(echo rm)``, ``${0/x/r}m``, backslash/empty-quote splits, backticks).
  Handled by a non-executing, command-position-scoped word deobfuscator so
  ordinary arguments are never promoted into a command name.
- Class 2 (issue #26964) -- remote content executed via command substitution
  (``eval $(curl ...)``, ``source $(wget ...)``, ``. $(curl ...)``).
- Class 3 (part of issue #30100) -- decode-and-execute pipes
  (``echo <b64> | base64 -d | bash``, ``tr``, ``xxd``, ``openssl``).

Positive cases must be flagged; the argument-not-promoted negative cases guard
against the command-name deobfuscation over-reaching into ordinary data.
