When Bash is available alongside PowerShell, the hint now reads: \"This tool runs Git Bash (POSIX sh), not cmd.exe or PowerShell. Use Unix shell syntax: `\/dev\/null` not `NUL`, forward slashes, `$VAR` not `%VAR%` or `$env:VAR`.\" The combined PowerShell + Bash hint also clearly distinguishes that each tool takes its own syntax.\n\n**Evidence**\n\nNew shell hint strings (search for `\"This tool runs Git Bash (POSIX sh), not cmd.exe or PowerShell\"`)"}
